    How so? At some point, he has to pitch the players he's been given.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I don't care, just DFA Pagan.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Ryan does not look the same since his return. Hence my being ok with using assets on a starting pitcher (and two bullpen arms). Have we heard anything about Maeda (I know Alcala continues to have setbacks)? I'm only interested in him as a RP....
  4. Mike Sixel
    If Mahle is reasonable to acquire, I do that and move him to a two inning RP. I think he'd be nearly unhittable in that role. I don't see Miami dealing either of their top two. Castillo is obviously an interesting starter for a playoff team. I wanted Montas, but not now.

    This. NO ONE is saying they had to pull him....we are saying that's how the league rolls these days, that it isn't a Twins "problem", but how MLB works. Mediocre pitchers are given less room for error than they used to be.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Examples? The data is out there. Not one staff averages 6 innings per start. Less than 30 pitchers are doing so this year ( that's from a few weeks ago, there may be some changes since). There have been numerous links provided to the data. I also don't get why it is bad to watch a guy throw 5 great innings and leave? You've decided you don't like it, but that's your own feeling, but intrinsically true. Like I said, you can decide you don't like how everyone plays the game, and decide to be unhappy. Or, just watch the game and enjoy it for what it is. That's the beauty of things that are only entertainment, everyone gets to decide how to feel about it and not be wrong.

    I'm not sure what one piece of data has to do with what the entire league has been doing for several years now. Which remains my point. Complain all you want, you have that right. Asking one team to do what everyone in baseball has decided is a bad idea seems like a losing fight that will lead to unhappiness.

    I'm surprised by the consistently good starting pitching, the number of meltdowns by the bullpen, and the inconsistent offense. I felt this team would win in the mid 80s.... and they are ahead of that.... and feel they will win around 90 to 93.
  9. Mike Sixel
    It hurts my brain that people think this is a Twins "problem " without looking at all at the rest of the majors.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I misunderstood you. While I don't agree completely, my bias is also SS types..... so I understand your hesitancy with a catcher.
  11. Mike Sixel
    You can't be serious. He provided more value at catcher than most others. He's a hall of fame player. Baltimore is thrilled with their new catcher.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Nelson Cruz was not good until his late 20s..... I'm not sure drafting him and getting nothing because he was on another team is a good example. Do we really think he's going to be an elite bat? Because if he's not, he's a negative on defense. That's a huge gamble. I am not a fan of bat only players, like Sabato at all. It's just too much risk. I'm not a fan of this idea, in terms of process. Got no idea in terms of outcomes.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for coming into this thread of celebration with your hawt take of negatively.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Which has nothing to do with insisting good pitching staffs should average 6 or 7 innings.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I really don't think fans give this any thought before complaining.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I've been asking the Twins to do this for years, and they haven't. Not sure why, given their options.
  17. Mike Sixel
    There isn't a staff averaging more than 6 innings a start in all of baseball, is there? I'm not sure there are even 50 pitchers in all of baseball doing that right now.
  18. Mike Sixel
    What makes you think next year would be different? The Yankees are likely to be great for several years. You take your shot when you have it. Or not, and just muddle along. I mean, they might not even have a decent shortstop next year....
  19. Mike Sixel
    The average start in the majors has been under 6 innings for a few years now. People screaming the starters need to average more than 5 or 6 just aren't paying attention to all of the other teams.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Maybe they weren't sure archer and bundy, as reclamation projects, would work out.... since they never do. Inept? Two division titles, a starting staff they acquired, and leading the division.... your standards are high.
  21. Mike Sixel
    You are the one that said once the game starts, it is on the manager. I must have misunderstood what that meant, if not the skill of the players doesn't matter.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No starting pitching? Wow, you might want to look at the stats across the league....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I never said that. I would like people to acknowledge he isn't awful, given his options. The hate for him on this site is over the top ridiculous. I bet the over under on deleted posts about him is astronomical.
  24. Mike Sixel
    So if the players are bad, losses are on the manager for using them? The manager in Oakland is bad, because their record is bad, not because the players have the worst OBP in modern history? Unreal.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It should be clear that this isn't on the manager. He has few options. This is on the front office. Just amazing how bad the relief pitchers are.
