    As I said in the other thread, because we need lots of the same threads here for some reason, accidents happen. Why is that so hard to accept? No one did anything wrong. I feel bad for Lewis. Good luck to him in his recovery.
  2. Mike Sixel
    They changed the ball about four weeks ago.... At least according to all the data.
  3. Mike Sixel
    There isn't.

    Before Lewis got hurt, I'd have had my doubts he'd be a Twin next year. Now? I'm sure he will.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Accidents happen. How is it so hard for humans to accept that? That not every event is someone's fault? Unbelievable.

    Not getting anything for Lewis..... While I agree that trading top prospects for short term players is not a good strategy to do over and over, there are a lot of teams doing the opposite that are never good. As for Cleveland, they've not exactly lit it up lately..... And Oakland has been good, but not great. Only Tampa has really been able to pull this off, somehow. Only one team has really succeeded at this, despite more than half the league trying. I'm for one of the top two guys, but I am also aware that could be a mistake. I put the odds of the twins signing a top starter near zero, ever, with this front office. I think they'll trade for them.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Sucks. Also shows it isn't necessarily safer to pick position players..... Good luck to him!

    I agree with the OP, this site is pretty tedious to read somedays (most days, frankly). Baldelli wants to win. He's not stupid. He's not a computer. I am 100% certain most people here have never managed people in their lives. If it weren't for a handful of people, I'd likely come here about once a week. So hard to read sometimes. So very hard.

    What does that mean, they don't need him to reach AAA this year? If he's ready, he should be there. It isn't like AAA is filled with players right now. Also, isn't AA three levels?

    It's obviously disappointing to lose a game where your offense is that good. But I think this week shows the twins can play with these teams. They are still on pace to win 90 plus games. With the return of some better pitchers, I think fans can feel good about the future. It's clear they need bullpen help, though.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'll be surprised if the twins win. But I think these three games show they can play with the Yankees.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm confused. This site complains all the time that the manager has a plan, and takes out pitchers too soon? Frankly, I'm done with Bundy, but I was when they signed him.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Whomever bet Bundy would outlast Cole is a wealthy person right now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Good time for BB to wake back up! Wow.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Hated the signing. He made me think I was wrong.... But I wasn't, alas.
  16. Mike Sixel
    He's something like 2nd in defensive runs saved. He's been so much better in the field than we were led to believe.
  17. Mike Sixel
    No reason to boo him, other than his potentially racist comments....
  18. Mike Sixel
    That thought occurred to me as I was writing that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'll be golfing and not here, so I should stay sane.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Truth. I expect another big loss. And I won't be really bothered if it happens. It's one game. Against a historically great team. The comments on this site? Ugh.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If you take out all the starts that don't go into the league wide average, the league wide average changes......sure. But I don't understand your point here. The Twins are running their starters just like other teams do.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The average for starters was 5.1 innings last year. Same this year. That's what the twins did last year, and are likely to end up at this year, unless everyone remains hurt on and off.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not that all of them are hurt at one time. What do people realistically expect? They traded for two starters, and signed two starters. They had Ryan and Ober. They had Winder and Smeltzer. How many starters do people think it's realistic to have, when they had almost zero two years ago? The pitching was utterly barren when they took over. Zero. Nada. Nil.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Smoke and mirrors? How many starting pitchers do you think a team has at any one time? They are down four starting pitchers.
  25. Mike Sixel
    You realize that's how every team uses pitchers now, right? Even the Yankees.
