    Based on input, yes. Has anyone said otherwise, really? Seriously? However, imo, the decisions matter a lot less than most think. It's still the players that matter way more. And, as you know, you can make a good decision and lose, or a bad one and win. If he made decisions contrary to into all the time, he'd be fired. That's how collaboration works. No idea why this needs to be explained. Again, dials, not switches.

    I posted this earlier... The disconnect is clear. Some people think life is on and off switches, and some think it's dials. Some think someone is always to blame, and some think stuff happens. I can promise you that those saying Rocco does what the front office wants don't mean he literally takes direction on every minute decision. They have an agreed upon approach, which he follows. But that is a philosophy and approach, not something that says to bring in this RP if this exact thing happens, which is literally impossible to do.

    I'm suggesting it isn't black and white and those phrases don't mean always. Is this really hard to understand? No one says always. No one. Zero people.

    Jeffers doesn't make real money.... He was above average as a hitter compared to other catchers, even with September. He's not going anywhere.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Fair grades all over the place. They just can't carry a guy like Margot given Buxtons health. Well, even if he was healthy they shouldn't.
  6. Mike Sixel
    What .310 hitter? Five qualified hitters hit that this year. The game has changed, a lot. The pitching is so much better, it's not close.
  7. Mike Sixel
    This is the best of these SP lists in years and years. They won't all work out, but I like the odds a lot more now than any time I can recall.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say I didn't want to discuss Rocco in a Rocco thread. No one has said your first sentence, but I replied to a comment saying that some people say managers make zero decisions.

    I know someone that moved to Portugal, and left partly due to the heat and fires. They moved to Asheville because it was supposed to be one of the safest cities for climate..... I've been following her and her husband online, as I thought about moving both those places. Now I'm not sure Asheville even exists. Unreal

    Good luck to him on his new team. I can't see any way he's back, and I'm not sure he should be at this point.

    Zero people have claimed they make no decisions. Life is a series of dials, not on off switches. It just isn't so black and white as some feel. I think that's the huge disconnect here. Some people think there is a right and wrong and someone is always to blame for things. Others think there's a spectrum, and that stuff happens not in our control for the most part I still don't know if I'd keep it fire Rocco.... But he's staying. So I guess there's other things to discuss now.

    I don't know that they move people around all the time in the minors, but I agree they don't put them in the best position to succeed. Their use of Martin at short was criminal.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Yes, it was a terrible team with little in the minors. Look at the record the ten to fifteen years before this FO ... And tell me this FO is terrible.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Hahaha. No. They literally won more than 70 games once from 2011-2016. All but one of those years was worse. Truly unwatchable years with zero chance most of them. Awful baseball. Unwatchable. That's way worse
  15. Mike Sixel
    Addison....I wish I could feel better about liking him...
  16. Mike Sixel
    21 point lead and I'm not comfortable. Also, it's actually on TV here, but we're out and about ... But I got about three minutes of watching in
  17. Mike Sixel
    That was my thought.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I guess the FO is coming back then?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Great block by Jefferson.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I hope people don't love the Twins. It's a baseball team. If they are entertaining and winning, people will go. This team was worse than bad the decade before this FO arrived. Truly. Awful.
  21. Mike Sixel
    The met was awful for football. Truly.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Free kiersey! Seriously, let him play
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not offsides.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I wish they'd call up kiersey and let b him play. Same with Camargo. Oh well.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The GM has said this every year under this ownership, and yet..... Do we really think every year but one this team didn't add money at the deadline because every year it was the wrong thing to do, even though every other team does it? Seems unlikely.
