    Twins were 12th best at not swinging at pitches outside the zone, and 12 best in swinging and not missing.....

    If you finish with the record most predicted, you pretty much met expectations. That's the definition of meeting expectations. No place did I say or imply anything else. Not even a little. I have no idea if he should be retained, I was merely pointing out that they met expectations.

    How many playoff appearances has Maddon had with LA? Perhaps it was the FO in TB and Chicago?
  4. Mike Sixel
    What of that is in the manager's control? NONE OF IT.
  5. Mike Sixel
    This. So many fans here just hate on him (those fans probably loved him the first two years). The kinds of things people say are just mean spirited.....especially on this site.
  6. Mike Sixel
    They pretty much finished where non-fans projected them to this year. I'm not sure how they underachieved. And that was with assuming they wouldn't lose their top 5 outfielders all at the same time for most of the second half of the year.

    The Atlanta team bunted 4 times this year.........Bunting is dying for good reasons. I do agree, their fast players (um, who are those?) should try to steal more. I'm hopeful Lewis and Martin are up at some point next year, and that number jumps. But, they have zero infielders that should be trying, and once Buxton was out, which OF did you want to try to steal more often?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Every word of this makes sense to me. I'm predicting Philly, SF, Boston, MN in that order of likelihood.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'll be SHOCKED if they protect Smeltzer. Flabbergasted even. But then, Pagan is on this roster, after THREE YEARS OF BEING AWFUL, so, um, who knows.
  10. Mike Sixel
    He's a free agent....
  11. Mike Sixel
    ? Like what? They've had more injuries than any other team.
  12. Mike Sixel
    This

    When I broke my femur, it wasn't the first surgery that set me back, but the second (third, sort of, actually). Good luck to him in his recovery, it looks like it will take a lot of time and effort. I just hope he recovers enough to have a normal life (football life is bonus).

    Ryan has the 60th best ERA of starters this year. I don't know why anyone thinks he's not a legit starter. He was a rookie this year. I have no idea why they'd trade Gray. He was one of the better pitchers in baseball this year. Just let him throw 6 innings a start and everyone is happy.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I can't see them DFAing Pagan, alas. I also see no reason to protect Urbina. What club will keep in the majors all year?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Meh, I don't care if he talks like that, or in cliches. I don't listen to that kind of talk at all anymore. It just doesn't interest me. The games and the outcomes and the plays interest me. And for that, people should want him in MN.
  17. Mike Sixel
    You watch every game in all of baseball? Write down every play, and compare every player?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think I keep him. But I wouldn't be angry if they didn't. I think either decision is defensible. He's Kepler, but at third. Interestingly, everyone seems to want to do the opposite with those two.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Then maybe don't compare him to them? He needs to be better, but the defense needs to be way more
  20. Mike Sixel
    Anyone who expects their QB to be one of the best in history is bound for disappointment. Cousins is not ideal, but it's all about the defense for this team. It has to get better.
  21. Mike Sixel
    That's no way to treat someone. Wow.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The saints D had been quite good this year....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to him!
  24. Mike Sixel
    I am also very unlikely to look at this at the stadium. Maybe between innings?
  25. Mike Sixel
    It doesn't have to go into every celebration thread. That's like going to a wedding and pointing out everything wrong with the couple. Given they posted here, it is clear they didn't completely jump ship. This site is a cesspool right now, frankly. Every single thread.
