    That's really bad. Why should a runner run a slower route to get to first, in cases there is a bad throw? How would a runner know a bad throw happened, behind him so he could move? Put in a lane, if he's in the lane THAT IS A STRAIGHT LINE, it's the fielder's fault if the throw hits him....simple rule.
  2. Mike Sixel
    He WAS in the lane when the interference happened....it was also the last step where it happened.... Again, the runner can't control where the ball goes. If he's in a lane, he should be allowed to be in the lane, which he was when the interference happened.

    From what I read on line, most retired baseball players find the interpretation last night bad, very bad. The rule should be about where the runner runs, not where the throw goes. The runner can't control a bad throw..... Draw a lane, if they stay in it, no interference as long as they aren't swinging around their arms.....

    I agree, I'm arguing we have no idea at this point what Wes Johnson is as a coach.....just no sample yet. Therefore, I'd prefer we sign guys that are already good.....just in case he's not a genius like we all hope. edit: but we keep reading stuff like "can he work his magic"...when we just don't know if he has any
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm confused, I thought no one wanted to be in MN, and that's why big time FAs won't sign in MN? Is it different for FO people?
  6. Mike Sixel
    There aren't any defensive stats that like him as an OFer......I doubt it's the math that is the problem here.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Of course, he was in the Twins' system for two years.....and he had options......
  8. Mike Sixel
    You don't recall the classic 1965 7 game playoff series between the, um, two AFL teams? It was a bad idea, clearly.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    What magic has Wes worked? Which starting pitcher was much better this year than last? Not Berrios,not Perez, not Odo, not really sure how to judge Pineda or Gibson..... What evidence do we have about Johnson, really, other than Perez? Which is a tiny sample size.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'd like a game where we don't notice the awful umpiring....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Same exact conversation we had about Mauer..........

    First time in 1470 seven game series across the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB that the visitor has won the first 6 games. If I read that correctly last night, first time EVER in the four major sports.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Did any of those surprises come from outside the org, that were previously awful, and then fixed? Like, perez...
  14. Mike Sixel
    Except it was the last step: The batter-runner is permitted to exit the threefoot lane by means of a step, stride, reach or slide in the immediate vicinity of first base for the sole purpose of touching first base.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Blah, blah, blah. Now that we aren't taking about having fun..... It's a terrible rule. Run between the lines, where the throw goes should be irrelevant. The runner can't control the throw.... Altuve ran way more in the way, but the throw was better....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Funny. We couldn't be more opposite on this one.
  17. Mike Sixel
    If they are even thinking about pitching him tomorrow, he should not have come out. But putting in Doolittle is really stupid
  18. Mike Sixel
    The opposite. No way he pitches tomorrow.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand taking him out. All hands on deck tomorrow. Plus they see a reliever tonight they might see tomorrow. Mind. Boggling.
  20. Mike Sixel
    The kind of thing that makes a casual fan not want to watch baseball ever again.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Holy crap that's an awful call. He literally stepped on the middle of first. Embarrassing. They just refuse to overturn things, just give up replay
  22. Mike Sixel
    I prefer guys they aren't sure of have options. I hated the bullpen two years ago for that reason. They couldn't move anyone around. I don't want them in the same position ever again.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan of picking up players that haven't been good, if they are out of options. but whatever. I prefer my bullpen to mostly be great pitchers, or guys with options that can go down and up.
  24. Mike Sixel
    No reason not to let Perez become a FA. If they want, they can negotiate with him to come back, but there is no good reason for him to take a 40 man spot. He's been awful for two years now.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Do you think people running teams ignore culture? I'd guess winning creates a happy work place more than the people, unless the people are over the top negative, like an outlier.
