    Why is it likely he won't progress? we have quotes from an umpire that he did progress last year? Why are people so sure he's not actually good at this, given the tiny sample size? Given how little the Twins appreciate advanced stats, are we sure they are even looking at the "right" things to judge his defense? Let Pinto catch 40% of the time, and get some actual data on his defense at the MLB level. That should be the plan this year (should have been last year too...... but Gardy cared more about Suzuki's bonus than the long term good of the team, or so it appeared).
  2. Mike Sixel
    Except the MOST LIKELY outcome for each team is that they not win 90 (except maybe WAS).....but if you asked the same system to project/predict if any team would win 90 or more, the answer would probably be yes. Those are two different questions, though.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Lopez costs twice that though, really, right? Because they'll have to pay a 100% penalty, iirc.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Toward the mean.....but not to his past. that's what I think. he'll still be a legit number 2 starter, and that's darn good (since there are only about 15 or so number 1, imo).
  5. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. But, the Twins don't seem to care all that much about "advanced" statistics. Surprised they didn't hire Dave Stewart (other than he "isn't one of us").
  6. Mike Sixel
    I find it somehwat specious to say Pinto can't play defense ..... we just haven't seen him enough to know. This is the same team that thought Hardy couldn't play defense....

    I don't think Levi is saying that only baseball has unwritten rules.....but THIS THREAD is about baseball. Why do people call on him to critique other sports, more than 1 time, in this thread about baseball?
  8. Mike Sixel
    why do we need to condemn every sport to fix one? I don't get this argument at all.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Great lineup. congrats on what looks like a great event.
  10. Mike Sixel
    It's not Ktwin, it is go 96.3......and they play lots of arctic monkeys, weezer, and black keys. While those are the three I listen to a lot.....maybe not every hour or two.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    No issue......there are many times I turn the channel......there is no channel that is perfect, frankly.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I think thrylos' point is that saying "I am responsible " means pretty much as much as me saying it. There are times I agree, and times I am not sure how I feel when he says this. But, they sound like empty words most of the time. And, he fired the manager and coaches......actions that speak to he is not completely responsible.
  13. Mike Sixel
    If only this thread could not be one person's thread, and be about the cool event.....If y'all want to talk about the other stuff, maybe move it. I know I'm not an admin, but I came to this thread to read about a cool event, not to re-hash an argument over and over. Great event. Have fun everyone. I probably can't make this work this year, alas* *alas, as I hope this is my last winter in MN, so this would be my last shot.

    Jack White is on pretty much every day. The Black Keys, on most every day. Most days you can also hear Weezer or Muse or the Ramones (if you want older bands) and other such bands. I do agree, it has a wider variety guitar sound than some stations, but it just isn't true that the kind of bands you are talking about aren't on at all, they are pretty much on every day. Heck, Radiohead (new and old, back when they had guitars) are on most every day.
  15. Mike Sixel
    The current doesn't play white male guitar players? You must not listen often.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Too much talking in the morning, and a lot of songs I don't like. When that happens, I move to 96 or 93, then come back....... 96.3 has played serious deep cuts a few times, from groups I love, but songs you don't hear on the radio often/ever.
  17. Mike Sixel
    96.3 just changed its format.....it sounds like a combo of 93.3 and 89.3. If they played less older music, that would be great.
  18. Mike Sixel
    That's what I get for glancing fast at work. Sorry, just ignore that post (assuming you have not already ignored all my posts, which I guess jokin has not......).
  19. Mike Sixel
    Note that CF and SS have the same adjustment.....so for WAR purposes, Santana is not playing a more premium position. If I had to bet......I'd go with Arcia (I'm just going to assume he's healthy).
  20. Mike Sixel
    Jon, Bill Stenross is one of my good friends....congrats on the book.
  21. Mike Sixel
    May 17, and I'll donate the prize to charity, after a long acceptance speech, of course.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Late May.....with I HAVE NO IDEA in RF.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'd love this post if I could.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, it's not how I would rebuild a team, but I can't argue with any of it. Having May, Meyer, and a bunch of RP sitting in AA and AAA? Waste of "healthy" arms. We are now 3 years into not having a CF, three years.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I do agree, it is better than 1-2. I am confused by the process, frankly.
