    It's not sportsmanship. It's a silly unwritten rule. If he shouldn't try, the twins should walk off and forfeit. Otherwise, he should try.
  2. Mike Sixel
    You realize the best teams are worried about launch angle and exit velocity, right? That this is what Ted Williams preached, with different words?
  3. Mike Sixel
    That's stupid. Swing. These guys get paid based on stats they put up.
  4. Mike Sixel
    He's one of the starters. I'm not sure I understand. Now, if you are asking why they signed two bad starters, that's a good question for a team supposed to compete....

    Pitching gurus... Where are you? I was promised pitching gurus....
  6. Mike Sixel
    That outfield does not look like what I thought it would like in May....
  7. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand why anyone wants a number 5 starter, and to be happy those expectations are met. I'd want to aim higher. I'm hopeful they move him to the bullpen soon, and give one of the minor league players an extended run.

    I continue to be amazed people listen to sportscasters on TV. Y'all are more stout than I
  9. Mike Sixel
    This is what I want....get experience for some players for 2022......

    Does it somehow taste better, or worse, than normal budweiser? because if it tastes like that late inning Twins play....wowsers.

    It's David Byrnes' birthday....could do worse than listen to the Talking Heads instead of the announcers......It is also one of Milli Vanilli's bdays, but I have no idea which is which. You maybe could not do worse than to listen to that....Oh, the bassist for Cream has a birthday today, plenty of good music there....

    How would they determine who is vaccinated?
  13. Mike Sixel
    I had that thought as soon as I hit post......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Hoping either Kepler or Lewis can play CF long term......I agree with all of this.....They'll never sign a big name starting pitcher, so they better keep the ONE they've actually developed in the last 15 years........ Short term, Kepler should start in CF every day. Every single day.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm baffled people want to give up on Kepler......for one, he's a decent (not Buxton) CF......and for another, it is way too early to give up on him. Same with Polanco. I can't imagine they deal Shoemaker, more likely he is DFA when they decide Thorpe / Dobnak / someone is ready....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I also expect no heat from the media.......the media is in bed with sports.
  17. Mike Sixel
    This isn't a popular belief, but there isn't always an answer or reason why things happen.....other than the bullpen, this could not have been predicted at all. Sometimes bad stuff just happens.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Given this...I'm shocked still they didn't take a CB in the draft. I anticipate them acquiring one still....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Which RP and SP do you think he wants more than he has? Including the majors and minors? Or hitters? I mean, the minors are barren other than Thorpe and Jeffers at this point for immediate help.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    The earlier of two 6th rounders....so, like a normal 5th given next year's draft. Not much in return, but whatever. They weren't keeping him.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say too long....I said it didn't work...which is how people here seem to judge decisions......and, none of it was personal. You attacked my position, not me. Which is great on a forum. He'd just walked two guys.....people here would be blasting him if he'd left him and it didn't work.....really, there is no good option there given this bullpen. If they had even an average 'pen, making the move there is an easy choice. Frankly, I feel bad for Rocco.....there just aren't good options, and it isn't like he gets to hire these guys, he gets who he gets.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Inconceivable.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Robles outperformed the odds there......the problem was the starter was finally left in like you all have been BLASTING the manager for not doing.......I'll sit here and wait for everyone to talk about how wrong they were about that.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    When do the fake games start? Not. Soon. Enough. Given this "baseball" team.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It is hard to see any reason to keep any player not signed or "controlled" past this year on the roster at the deadline. Deal them all. Get whatever you can....... It is hard to see a few that are signed on the team .... Unless the minors are better than they look, it is hard to see competitiveness next year..... I'd call up any RP that they believe in, and get them experience this year. In a month or so, I'd call up any SP to get them experience. I'd call Jeffers back up any time, Rortverdt isn't likely to hit.
