    so you do believe that there is a conspiracy to help the Yankees, and no one has ever come forward about it in over 30 years? I'm genuinely curious to understand if you believe umpires have been told to help the Yankees win.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Another great article! Hard to quibble with the choices. Nicely done.

    It isn't the baseball gods. It's the front office. While Molitor can't be blamed for who he has, there have been curious decisions along the way, imo. But at this point, I'm not sure he's doing much wrong, other than not pulling starters fast enough. Of course, that means more innings for Gee and Tonkin and others....so not sure what the answer is, really.

    so, the Twins get the advantage at TF....what's the issue? I think blaming the umpires/refs is tedious. The Twins didn't pitch all that well, and they scored all of 2 runs....that's on them. And I don't get why they stopped trying to bunt for hits. I would have kept it up all night with my non-power hitters....until CC was out of the game. It certainly appears that the Twins have a mental block in NY.

    Let's hope so!

    sure, there's a chance anyone can be better for 1 year, or 3 months, or whatever. But would you bet on it straight up? Do people think anyone is likely to hit 325/372/589 over a year? Two players slugged that high all last year. Four had a BA that high all last year. Seven are SLG that high this year (giving credit to 2 just short of that). Four have a BA that high this year. He could easily be the best BSR in a given year, imo. I'll take the under. Don't get me wrong, Buxton might be great even discounting his defense, but that seems unlikely.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'll take that bet right now.

    someone literally posted up thread that next year Buxton could be better than Trout. Do people really think Buxton is going to be better than Trout?
  9. Mike Sixel
    People comparing anyone to Trout....wow.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I do agree, the key take away from that game is that the Yankees are probably just plain better than the Twins overall.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    So, they just had no chance? I don't buy that. Stop giving away outs to start....
  12. Mike Sixel
    This is what you get when you invest and try to win, versus always building for the future. Maybe some year, maybe some year
  13. Mike Sixel
    Sigh. Investing in the bullpen, and trading for good pitching. Who would have thought that was a good idea? At least we have them a free out....
  14. Mike Sixel
    someone posted that Buxton should be dumped, like, off the team?
  15. Mike Sixel
    agreed. though they did hire a new hitting coach, which I do think has had an effect.
  16. Mike Sixel
    in case you miss it in the other thread....a similar, though different take on "everyone helping: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-twins-are-slugging-their-way-to-october/
  17. Mike Sixel
    but people place different values on different things. Some like comfort, some like challenge. Some like consistency, some like new things. some like fast cars, some like fuel efficiency. They are literally placing a different value on different things....because they value them differently. So, of course they are different.
  18. Mike Sixel
    ok, they are rating systems that use different formulas and data, so of course they don't match. Better? You implied they are bad because they don't match. I am merely pointing out they don't match because they are literally measuring different things, so being different makes sense. They literally place a different value on different measures.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Agreed 100% on this, on the Twins, Mauer is 100% the comeback player of the year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Uh, they are actual statistics, they are literally different statistics, so they should have different numbers. right?
  21. Mike Sixel
    that's what the minors are for, right?
  22. Mike Sixel
    100% different situations between the 5th/6th inning choices and the first inning choices, right?
  23. Mike Sixel
    It's almost like defense and position doesn't matter at all....
  24. Mike Sixel
    why do you think that?
  25. Mike Sixel
    well, I'm talking about Wade as a player, not as a Twin.....but sure, being LH doesn't help much with being a Twin right now.
