    Come on people, I'm stuck at work for another 11 hour day, and no one is posting. I need some humor.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I hope it isn't systemic, but based on outcomes, something isn't right.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I would be. Move Sano or Plouffe to first. That's a much better team this year, next year, and probably the year after. heck, if Mauer is gone, Tulo could move to first, Sano to third, and Plouffe dealt for a C (with Tulo at SS for the next 1.5-2.5 years, then Gordon).

    I admit I've often thought about moving to Europe. Seems much more my lifestyle......

    Hey, second time caller here...... Do we think the beard is distracting him when he looks out at the pitcher? It's got to be that, right? He's so awesome...... And, how about that new Jetson guy? It's funny how his name is like Elroys!
  6. Mike Sixel
    Last time he was here, Hunter was pretty clear that this effects a team......
  7. Mike Sixel
    If this wasn't the 17th year where he acted this way, I'd have sympathy to this line of thinking.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    List the RP they've drafted and developed the last 4 years.......it's not a one off problem, is it? For some people, it is never the FO or the coaches or the process.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    I agree, you look at trading anyone.......but I have zero confidence in Polanco. There just isn't evidence he's a MLB player. For Dozier or Plouffe, you have to get a SURE THING, at SS or C, or no idea why I do it.

    in the spirit of making sure I don't forget about food and alcohol holidays, I'll post them here if people want. Today, August 6, is IPA day. Strangely, I have found three different listings for this, but the beer sites mostly agree it is today..... Interestingly, if you search "alcohol holidays", it mostly returns results about drinking too much, avoiding drinking, and non-alcoholic drinks. Is Google trying to tell me something? I notice that August is filled with trail mix, s'more, and roasted marshmallow days......

    What if the young players don't turn out? There is risk there also, right?
  12. Mike Sixel
    yup. It's just clear Mollie wanted the bunt, and doesn't PH much. Reality, deal with it.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Has Joe Mauer done enough to be in the Hall? I just love his sideburns and beard. I'll hang up and listen.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Great list! Congrats to all of them on a good month. It's a nice list compared to year's past for sure.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Congrats!
  16. Mike Sixel
    Maybe one of our well connected people here can ask about what has been going on with Burdi, changing his approach wise......
  17. Mike Sixel
    Another nice write up. Win Twins.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Other than the football part....this sounds eerily familiar. Starting out argumentative, being afraid to admit things, realizing that it isn't about convincing anyone of anything other than sharing "this is what I believe"..... http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/13369076/houston-texans-arian-foster-goes-public-not-believing-god
  19. Mike Sixel
    I suggest you read the logical fallacy post in sportsbar thread.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I have no interest in discussing if Dozier is good or not......none.
  21. Mike Sixel
    if not May....agreed, I'd rather see Duffey get another shot. What's he do in the week he sits?
  22. Mike Sixel
    except for defense and base running, sure......but isn't that true of every player, take away his biggest skill, and he's not worth as much?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Actually, lots of existing managers would make the bad decision to bunt......doesn't make it the right decision, even if they are good managers. And, that post was all about the downside, no upside analysis at all. Unless I read it wrong......
  24. Mike Sixel
    It's not necessarily bad, imo, if what you trade turns out to be great, if you got what you wanted in return. Trades are not a zero sum game, they can help both sides, even if 1 side gets "more" out of it.
  25. Mike Sixel
    That wasn't the question at all, was it? The premise of the article was that the Twins are doing badly, ergo, standing still was a good idea. If the Twins had won every game since the break, would that have meant they should not make deal? Half the games? What outcomes, produced by the TWINS, would lead the OP and others to conclude that standing still was a bad idea?
