    I prefer Gant in 1-2 inning stints. He's been effective that way. If they really want multi inning RPs, and are worried about innings next year, they should be considering piggy backing "starters".
  2. Mike Sixel
    So, ya, Baldelli says Maeda is having surgery....sigh. Good luck to Kenta, I hope he heals well.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Right! The exact bleeping opposite of that. 100% NOT that. Unless he's DFA in a couple days and a real RP prospect brought up, I am done defending the FO.
  4. Mike Sixel
    So, if doctors think they should try something OTHER THAN CUTTING INTO THEIR BODY, they shouldn't?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Mind. F'n Boggling. I have lost faith in this FO.
  6. Mike Sixel
    This is, quite literally, what I and others have been typing here for a month or so, and yet, we are looking at Albers and Barnes ......
  7. Mike Sixel
    What he does the rest of the year is pretty irrelevant to his future. Front offices have made up their mind, one way or the other, at this point. I'd sign him. I'd roll that die. If they do deal him, they better get more than Berrios brought back.
  8. Mike Sixel
    If his next start is in St. Paul, I'll join those saying fire the Front Office. They need sooooo many pitchers next year.
  9. Mike Sixel
    No idea why Ryan isn't starting in Boston today......
  10. Mike Sixel
    This is a thread about a game they won, right?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I also don't understand the thinking right now. I'm pretty disappointed in the front office at this moment.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm saying the FO leaving him unprotected is not an indictment of them, given every FO agreed. Nothing more or less. It's great what he's done! Hopefully proving every FO wrong.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Disappointing half inning there.....oh well.
  14. Mike Sixel
    It looks pretty bleak right now. If Maeda is out, they have zero, zero, experienced pitchers under contract. I didn't know that was even possible. Ober and no one else is a lock right now? They really need to acquire two good SP in the off season. Then hope on Ober and um, hmmmmm. I got no idea how this works at this point.
  15. Mike Sixel
    after I posted, I figured that out!
  16. Mike Sixel
    My point was simple......this isn't an issue with the MN FO. Nothing more or less, since every FO agreed with them.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Every team passed on Miranda. Every. Single. Team. Clearly, no FO thought this was coming. Not one of them.
  18. Mike Sixel
    There are multiple threads and comments (some repeated over and over and over and over and over......) about multiple fringe players and their "success" outside of MN......Like, they'd have to cut about 10 players from the current roster to hold them all (imagine doing that at the start of the year)...... I have no issue with reasoned discussions about failures, but this is a ridiculous example, imo. As are many of the second guesses here. I get it, the season has sucked. But the anger and mean comments (not in this OP, btw) and repetition is tedious at best (and a massive turn off from joining in for many former long time posters).
  19. Mike Sixel
    Fewer than 5 is actually pretty hard.....all but 5 teams are averaging more than 4 per game, and two are a rounding error from there.....5 seems to be the magic number, which is unreal, really.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That difference is more than 50%......the relative difference is the key, not the absolute difference. A 1 WAR difference is massive, btw. The delta between a 2 WAR player and 3 WAR is quite large. Value isn't linear, really. It is clear we won't agree, though. I appreciate the polite and well thought discussion.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Do we really think the FO thinks differently? Those two were 8/9/10 on the depth chart to start the year......(actually, I think you are saying this, just making sure). The year has gone as badly as possible with SP this year, between injuries (Pineda, Maeda, Dobnak, Winder), and trades (Berrios) and ineffectiveness (Happ, Shoemaker) that this is what is left. As for leaving him in, this is part of learning.... As for Kepler and Rooker hitting near the top (not your point).....I'm guessing they are trying to give them every AB possible, to see if they can get out of their funks. Nothing more or less than that.
  22. Mike Sixel
    The conferences are supposed to be about much more than just football....but I'm not holding my breath that anything real changes for the athletes. The destruction of the Big 12 is sad to me....but not surprising. The US is all about consolidation of power into as few hands as possible. The NCAA is no different.
  23. Mike Sixel
    If the Twins kept every player on the 40 man this site whines about, they'd have around 100000 players on their roster at this point.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Click bait. Seriously.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The second guessing on this site is unreal. He bounced all over!
