    I can stream it free, if I live in Minnesota and have a radio, but I can't listen to it free in Portland, or on my phone. Sigh.

    I was trying to think of a "good" reason Haley would have to pitch 6 innings.....and it's allergy season in Portland.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I predict a win today. It's my bday, they won't let me down on my bday. Grossman and Castro will be the hitting stars, with Haley pitching 6 shutout innings after Santana has an allergy attack.

    I have no idea. They cut Park, and tried to sign a DH. I am guessing the team has the twelfth best DH at the end of the year. I don't think they like their options.

    Not sure be patient, give them time, expect big changes in two to four weeks... Not sure those thoughts are all congruent....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Where he literally says he isn't predicting it would happen. It was a thought piece, and he clearly says he doesn't think it will happen.
  7. Mike Sixel
    If he can hit .500 bunting, he should bunt every time.....but that seems unlikely. I predict 4 WAR of both the b and f variety. I predict more hitting, but still maddeningly inefficient at stealing bases.

    Well, that's not really how it works. They were very unlucky last year in terms of win/loss. That's the kind of logic AZ used last year, and now their GM and President are fired. You have to look at how they arrived at 59 games.....they probably should have 65 or so last year, given how they actually played. Also, if you aren't expecting better years from Buxton and Sano, and much better OF defense this year, you are probably losing a few wins in your prediction, imo. 72 is my number.
  9. Mike Sixel
    10 or so wins is my prediction for April.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Hence my question, thanks for the polite reply.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Uh, which young pitchers are going to get a shot to stick or not? Other than Mejia and Haley (who they've all be admitted won't pitch much), which young pitchers are on the staff? 65 games? No way they only win 65 games (assuming reasonable health).
  12. Mike Sixel
    Love the optimism. Not sure I share it, but he sure deserves 5-10 starts (once you decide to give him a shot) at this point.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I think he was recently quoted on "overshifts" being some new thing he wanted to learn about, in his third year as a manager.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Wow, a blast from the past time name (well, it seems that way to me). Great writing, thank you. I loved the pork belly, btw. It's pretty much my go to food item (which might be why I'm not in the best shape of my life). I agree, the food is much better on paper than in the mouth, alas. Yes, the beer selection sucks compared to other places. Upsizing the beer is bad, people like 12 oz. It's a pretty obvious ploy to get money from the "I'll only have one" crowd, as you say.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Park is almost 30, no.
  16. Mike Sixel
    We also heard the 25th roster spot doesn't matter recently...all the spots matter. All the games matter.
  17. Mike Sixel
    sigh, bam! you are correct sir. ugh.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Winning sells tickets, everything else is just side dressing. That's very clear from all the data out there. I don't know if they are planning to sell many tickets. it's actually the previous year's record that most predicts the current year's ticket sales.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Trades, even promotions from within would count for me, if they weren't on the roster the previous year. But yes, there aren't many FAs that are young, and there will be less and less.
  20. Mike Sixel
    there go 2 Twins' wins.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I was thinking another thought on RPs.... it is possible they have some major changes they want to make in what the RPs are doing, and they are going to implement that this year, meaning they need 1-3 months to get the guys "changed" to the new way, whatever that way is. That might be one reason to hold them all back from even having a chance. The risk, of course, is that these guys have achieved what success they have by doing something they way they do it now. But, given the lack of development here the last few years, that would be a risk I'd take if I was the FO. Of course, we have no idea if that's really true, just a theory I have.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm. You could be right, but I bet we wouldn't have to look hard to find players under 29 added to teams every off season. But, I could be wrong, and you could be right.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I've not argued the team isn't young, I've argued that they concentrated on adding older players with no upside beyond this year. Hope that is clear. In addition, they offered more money to a 30 something DH than any other team. I really think they are trying hard not to stink this year.
  24. Mike Sixel
    which RP got a chance this ST, other than Chargois? Signing the vets pretty much meant that the young guys didn't get a chance, imo. And, maybe NONE of them deserved a chance. That might be the problem here, not one of their AA or AAA RP arms even deserved a chance to make the roster. If so, maybe they should be out there signing guys younger than 36, because if the pipeline is so dry that none of them even deserve a shot, that's not good.
  25. Mike Sixel
    not on the list on ESPN that calculates the age of the roster......
