    Vanimal......hope you enjoyed beer day, yoga is a good antidote...... As for the Twins, um, maybe Esco should hit first, and Dozier 7th? I mean, seriously, one is a total stud and the other a dud, right? Wait, is this the over reaction thread, or the whine line thread? It's really hard giving up coffee the same week you work from the west coast at 545 am.....

    So basically, get rid of the older veteran with no upside, and have the guy with upside (that we don't know much about) get time........I like that argument, Brock. Can we apply that other players...... As for Esco, he should have been the starter last year, based on his performance the year before. And, he is probably an averagish MLB SS right now, that makes him very good and valuable.

    In a better world, I agree......but most people in the world don't travel, don't really see animals in their habitats, and don't watch tv shows about them. I think they do serve a valuable purpose, to the animal population as a whole, if not the specific animals in the zoo........that said, I find the conditions in most zoos to be deplorable, and I do wish they were only for injured or almost extinct animals more so than they are.

    you can only use Perkins if there is a save situation.......right?

    My favorite thing to read in the mornings! thanks in advance to all the writers.

    I also celebrated national beer day. Two breweries in Washington, outside Portland. Yummy. Oh, go twins.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Hold on there......
  8. Mike Sixel
    Somehow I had forgotten that....

    See, I don't think Nunez can be counted on either.....and I'd rather see Santana get every single opportunity when it arises.

    I am pulling for Goodrum*.....no idea why, but he's always been on my follow and hope list. Here is hoping all these guys get healthy soon! * I pull for all these guys.....but some are more equal than others, as it were.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Hopefully Arcia and Santana get in games, then, so we can see if they can contribute.......Arcia has no role on this roster, this year or in the future, if Sano is an OF (not with Kepler in AAA). I don't know what to do about him, I think he can hit, but he'll never show it sitting on the bench. They are, imo, in a no win spot with him.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Darn auto correct, or me.......and yes, we always do (at least us older ones that remember the jokes).
  13. Mike Sixel
    I don't get signing a bunch of over 30 year olds that have never been that good....and not promoting the guys you have invested so much time and money in. But, now that they have, I understand why they are giving them a shot. Good luck to everyone in the minors, I hope you get to realize your dreams.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I truly love the minor league coverage here. It's why I first came.
  15. Mike Sixel
    So Nunez is insurance against injury, and against Santana not being good enough to be insurance? He is under paid......(just trying to lighten the mood).
  16. Mike Sixel
    Lots of people on this board, but I regret typing that post, frankly. It was petty and stupid.
  17. Mike Sixel
    What, then, is Santana's role? If you won't PH for your SS, 2B, or 3B, isn't one guy for injury insurance enough?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Maybe next time he should square, Buxton should straight up steal 3rd, and Dozier should pull his bat back so he can hit with a man on third? Maybe this is all part of "hit sequencing" setting things up for later in the year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Stick to sports.....what are you, a follower of Craig Calciterra or KLAW on twitter? But, I agree, I should never have brought itup.
  20. Mike Sixel
    This is the kind of thing that makes me (and some national people) say the Twins are slow to promote people, and that they sometimes start guys at way too low a level......
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm not big on injury insurance.....that is a 1 game effect (assuming someone is in AAA).....I'd rather build the bench for the 150 games where no one is injured in a game......
  22. Mike Sixel
    if I was a GM, I'd want to supply my manager with options at the end of the game, with the bench. Otherwise, what is the point of the bench? I am not a Nunez guy, but if he can't PH for Suzuki, what is his role, exactly?
  23. Mike Sixel
    As for snow in April, that's one reason we are moving......
  24. Mike Sixel
    OMG, I almost forgot! National beer day, and I'm in Portland.......tomorrow could be rough. Well, not really, we hit two breweries yesterday, I'd guess we only hit one today....... I love coffee cake, a well done one is awesome. But, I don't eat them much anymore, since I don't need the calories....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I kind of enjoy Elementary.....but I just don't watch much anymore. Who watched the Rouge One trailer? Nice....and, another female lead. The wussification of the Force continues...... /s
