    So exciting!
  2. Mike Sixel
    I said this over and over on teh site months ago....people thought he'd be here this year....which I thought was ridiculous, and still do. and, I am relaxed, it's just a messageboard.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I think people got ahead of themselves a bit on him.....by a lot.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Two of hte best players in baseball, getting drooled over? Shocking! If Buxton or Berrios is ever that good, they'll get drooled over too.

    If you never take a pitcher because they might get hurt....good luck having pitchers. Or is that not the argument being made? Like, how did Strasburg work out so far? The Twins didn't get lucky, imo. Both players deserved to be a top pick. The Cubs did get unlucky theirs got hurt, though.

    I don't care all that much.....but I think he'll get in. submitted w/o comment: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/joe-mauer-and-the-rule-of-2000/

    Si

    Mauer is a great hitter. Good for him.
  9. Mike Sixel
    People are convinced this is the real Joe Mauer, but not convinced this is the real Buxton? I think we need more than 10-15 games to know what either might be, but I could be wrong. Like it or not, the game is about more than just OBP. He plays (more accurately, how they expect him to play in the next year or two) first base, how he plays relative to: 1. Other options for the Twins 2. Other first basemen is how his future should be judged. IMO, we aren't enough games into this season to have any real idea yet.

    Minor league players already have a tough day. Little is gained from long games, I have no issue with the change at all. It literally hurts no one
  11. Mike Sixel
    Great game! Congrats to Mauer.

    the Dalai Lama (really, this is true) was once asked about bad drivers, and what good they really provide to us all. He answered that they help him remember that he still has much to work on when it comes to accepatance and patience* The Cowboys and Yankees and Seahawks (if you lived here, you'd understand) supply that for me** *I can't recall what the actual words were, but that's the spirt of his answer. ** as do bad drivers. Jeebus I hate traffic.

    My wife is convinced that just going to sports' sites guarantees I'll get ads for women. I wonder if that is part of the algorhythm? And, that ad covering the mobile thing that Van posted? That's what I was too lazy to post....though I am nearly always on wifi, not the carrier.
  14. Mike Sixel
    To me, the big story is that a playoff contender is going with a 23 man roster. Unacceptable. They have two relief pitchers the manager won't use.
  15. Mike Sixel
    They won. Wasn't pretty on teh run prevention side, but the run scoring side was nice.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I get why people are concerned, but I think people are only looking at the bad here, and not the good....and neither of us is going to chang the other's mind....so I'm out.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Too high based on what? His high obp? His high slugging percentage? 35 percent is not all that high in this era.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Go to fangraphs and look. His current strikeout rate won't continue either. I don't know why people assume it will.
  19. Mike Sixel
    That's not going to continue. Meantime he's walking and hitting. People seem too focused on the strikeouts to notice the actual good he is doing.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Sano has been better offensively this year than any year in his career..... I'm not sure I understand the complaints.
  21. Mike Sixel
    People keep typing Rosario is a good OF, even though statistics were posted last year and in this thread, showing he's actually not when compared to other MLB OFers. I think people got an impression of him a couple years ago that doesn't line up with the facts. As for LOMO, not good yet. I remain, though not very, hopeful.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Buxton is more disappointing than Morrison, to me. I keep waiting for the superstar....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Yes? I'm here.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I've never understood the dislike of arod.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Why would rain be bad luck? Water is what gives us life! I think I read someplace it was considered lucky. No idea why. Are they going to play today?
