    Pretty tone deaf toward the fans. But then, he works for an organization that has been that way for some time. How many times have we commented here about St. Peter and his comments?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Exactly who starts game two or three if not Dobnak? That's who the front office gave the manager..... Unless that sentence is aimed at them, and not the manager?
  3. Mike Sixel
    If we go the route of the Rays, we'll actually use high first round picks on pitching that is good..... Or not. Too late for that.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I concur on the playoffs....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I can't think of one team in history that added three legit starting pitchers in one off season. I imagine not many have added two..... I'm not interested in being in on players. That's been the line since McPhail left.
  6. Mike Sixel
    The Cubs aren't in the playoffs because they have no pitching. It's obvious on its face that earlier picks are more likely to work than later ones.
  7. Mike Sixel
    But we do know they keep taking hitters in the first, decreasing the odds of getting a great pitcher. If your plan is to trade for them, you actually have to trade for them.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Who's your starter for the nine games Pineda misses? And, he'll likely be very rusty when he comes back, after 8 months of not being with a team.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Can't. Tell. If. Serious.
  10. Mike Sixel
    A three game series doesn't change the data.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but not too start next year. Dobnak is the only guy under contract other than Berrios likely to start the year as a starter.
  12. Mike Sixel
    It's literally the opposite. Hence the home run revolution. Just not happening for Minnesota. I think Kepler and Garver are hurt, but I have no idea what is going on with the rest of the team.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I predict a Garver HR here.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I agree with all of that. I preached all of last year that they should be bringing guys up and down from AAA for the pen. Instead, they brought in a bunch of guys that could not be optioned, and now Nick Anderson is very good. This year they didn't do that, and Gonsalves got hurt (though I think they would have used him as a starter) and Romero has forgotten how to pitch. I think they can pull a bullpen together, if they move some of the "meh" starters to the pen. They can't do that if they don't bring in outside starters until Gaterol and Blazovich and one other guy is ready.......
  15. Mike Sixel
    Sigh.
  16. Mike Sixel
    If Gibson comes into the game, and the score differential isn't over 5, I don't know what to think about Rocoo and/or the FO........
  17. Mike Sixel
    Never once has anyone said that. Not once.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Odo is a free agent, who I hope they sign. Gaterol is not likely to start the year in MN as a starter, but I could be wrong about that. The window won't be open next year w/o adding pitching to the one guy they have right now. Adding Odo is a good start. Instead of spending money on Perez and Cron, they could have signed a better pitcher. A team on a budget can't afford to spend 5-8MM on mediocre/bad players.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Dodgers brought in Greinke until they had enough internal options....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Sigh.
  21. Mike Sixel
    That is the easiest way to score in the playoffs. Given that pitching (outside MN) is better in the playoffs, you are much less likely to string together multiple hits than to score by HR. It has made baseball less interesting to watch, but that's one of the reasons for the HR revolution.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No one is arguing with the last point. If you believe the window is open, you can't go into next year with 5 internal options at SP.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Letting Cron go gives them around 40-60 million to spend. Spend $5MM on a catcher. You now have 35-55 million to spend, just to get to this year's budget. To get to last year's, you need to spend 5-10MM more...... They aren't extending Rosario or Garver. No way Buxton signs a deal. That leaves Berrios and Sano? I don't see Sano signing an extension here, but I guess he might.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop......
  25. Mike Sixel
    Mind. Boggling.
