    coaching, it's all in the coaching.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Thanks, this is part of the thread is making me smile........
  3. Mike Sixel
    Best post in the entire thread!

    You can't be driven by fear........that's what the bunt is there, fear of bad things happening. Assuming a bad outcome, and therefore making a sub-optimal choice.......that's how you end up losing more often than winning.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Right. Ryan is smart. He works hard. He clearly wants the team to be good. But, imo, it is time for change.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Sano, Dozier, Ervin Santana, Gibson ..... have really enjoyed them. Rosario gives me hope. They have been "in it" much longer than the last 4 years. All that is great.
  7. Mike Sixel
    you don't have to fix every problem, to fix 1 problem........Tulo was traded for pennies on the dollar. He would have been a good fit for this team.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Except, Chief, you are using run expectancy in every explanation you make.....you are just using words. I don't get why, but you really same to hate math, even though you are using a word problem in place of numbers...... Either way, it was a bad decision.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Not one person suggested an unrealistic trade like that. But, straw man arguments make some people feel like they are right, so go for it.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Uh, if you aren't using run expectancy, you aren't using logic to make the decision. I find it funny that people are actually using run expectancy to explain their position, but for some reason don't want to use the math based on millions and millions of calculation......very funny. Molitor is not yet showing to be good at his job. He bunts for no good reason. He brings in the wrong RP a lot. He won't platoon. He doesn't PH at all. I'm not a fan yet. It's only 1 year, but if he's still like this next year, he should be gone, imo. For all the talk of being modern and trusting numbers.....he clearly isn't doing that tactically.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Why is Duensing on this team? Where is Trevor, not stretched out, May?
  12. Mike Sixel
    This is the pitcher the vaunted front office said was better than Berrios right now. Let's hope, that like so many other things, they are wrong.......
  13. Mike Sixel
    Why do people keep typing the Twins have an easy schedule the rest of the way?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I have no issue with Hunter getting time off......Robinson being his replacement? Uhhhhhhhh, no comment.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I am confused by the contradiction of putting up good WAR (or whatever measure of value), and he won't return enough in trade because of all that other stuff that no GM would care about...... I am fairly confident Plouffe alone is enough to return a AA/AAA catcher with value (or SS) to this team as early as next year. Now, whether they can find one or not, I have no idea. IMO, Sano+new catcher + Arcia at DH>>>>Sano+Suzuki+Plouffe.
  16. Mike Sixel
    If I thought there was any way Mauer wasn't here next year.....no way I'd trade Plouffe......
  17. Mike Sixel
    I haven't looked enough to answer, but it has to be a SS or C that will be here and be good, by mid-next year timeline......not some guy far away, and not a RP (golly, no), and in a position of dire need......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, and Plouffe and Polanco should be movable, and should garner good stuff in return. Without, imo, killing the current team* *I assume there is not room for Sano, Mauer, Plouffe next year, and the first two aren't going anywhere.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Great stuff! Thanks for posting, Seth. And thanks to Mr. Span.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, this was a great write up!
  21. Mike Sixel
    Great writeup. Win Twins.
  22. Mike Sixel
    That's kind of my issue with this FO, if you pay fair price for a Yugo, you still have a Yugo. There are no trophies for "most cost effective 78 win team".......
  23. Mike Sixel
    Nick, I usually love your posts, but Plouffe doesn't play number 3-5 hitter, he plays 3B. And, compared to other 3B, he's been pretty valuable the last year or two and this year. Not elite, probably, but very good. And, Arcia? Arcia couldn't catch an old lady on crutches, let alone a line drive*. *exaggeration for effect, he could probably catch the old lady** **see, that was humor, not serious. But someone will pick that one line out of this post, and write 5 paragraphs on something that doesn't matter, ignoring the actual point of the post*** ***probably not, actually, but you'd be surprised**** ****I probably shouldn't make assumptions about what would surprise you
  24. Mike Sixel
    It is their fault they signed Suzuki, and not one of the 14 catchers who changed teams in the last two years that are currently better than him.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He is up, not still in the minors. Not hiding him at all, he is up. So, I hope they really think Duffey is better right now, not that they are afraid for an elite prospect.
