    Ooops. Got one game wrong. The data is very clear, analysis has shown it for several years, you need to hit home runs in the post season. You can find the studies online.
  2. Mike Sixel
    He literally acquired Ryan thru trade. I don't even know how you can be arguing this.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Did you think Julien would go from 2.7 fwar to zero? Or did you think he could be the 2B of the future? As for the timing, I agree! But the ownership clearly pivoted on the FO, or the FO would not have done the things they did the year before. I'm not sure how to hold the FO accountable for that. They bet on Julien being nearly as good (or better?) than he was the year before. It turned out to be a bad bet, but at some point, you have to trust your prospects. Polanco wasn't even worth .5 fWAR last year. He was a FA this year, and took a 40% pay cut. "proven hitters" don't always hit.

    If anyone thought Julien would forget how to hit before it happened, well, no one did. No one. Had he been half the player he was the year before, he'd have been above average......In one post you argue they shouldn't have given up on Kiriloff (moving him to the OF) and in this one, you argue they shouldn't have trusted Julien....

    He traded FOR Ryan, right?
  7. Mike Sixel
    few years? He's gone in 2.....and they aren't winning much next year w/o a bullpen or enough hitters. So, one year?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Great post!

    The Brewers playoff wins come when they out homer the opposition...their losses? The opposite. As to the OP, ya, I expect some kind of nostalgia push, it works in other industries (other than Tron, but who was nostalgic for that?). I expect a payroll under 100 million, and that counts 10 million to Correa! I expect a lot of losing, which most people seem to forget was what most Kelly teams did. They didn't win 48% of their games during his tenure.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'm in.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Truly. Mind. Boggy..
  12. Mike Sixel
    My point is, they didn't miss anything by him not being there. Not that there weren't worse players. I get it. For many people here, trading the present for the future is always wrong.
  13. Mike Sixel
    They last one is awful. But not surprising.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Definitely hoped for that. Plus Winokur will never play SS for Minnesota. Put him at third or first or the OF.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Great point. Alas, they have zero QBs ready or able to do that this year, imo. Agree strongly it's a bad match between McCarthys readiness and the rest of the roster.
  16. Mike Sixel
    It is hard to believe.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Truth.
  18. Mike Sixel
    After watching him put up .3 war they thought he'd be good? What inside knowledge would indicate that?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Polanco put up .3 war..... I'm not sure how that works have saved 2024.
  20. Mike Sixel
    How do you expect any team to build a roster other than prospects? I'm truly baffled by the prospect hate on this site.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Maybe the complete lack of talent is the issue?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Polanco was bad last year, and they didn't win many games. He was a FA, and got less money this year than last......Anyone could have signed him for what he made the previous year, and no one did. Gonzalez tore up the minors this year, and is what, 22? This trade wasn't about the short term at all. I fail to see how we can say MN got nothing but money at this point?

  24. Mike Sixel
    Except, if every team offers X, that's what they are worth..... I have zero interest in any player with less than 4 years of control left for Ryan.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It does seem like a play....agreed.
