    Lots of people on this board, but I regret typing that post, frankly. It was petty and stupid.
  2. Mike Sixel
    This is the kind of thing that makes me (and some national people) say the Twins are slow to promote people, and that they sometimes start guys at way too low a level......
  3. Mike Sixel
    So, basically, the bench has been so well built, there is not a better option than your worst hitter available? That seems sub-optimal to me.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Complaining for fun, about not PH for your worst hitter? No, it isn't just for fun.

    we were told we couldn't question molitor last year, he was "just a rookie".....and now we can't question the same moves so far this year. When can we question his not using his bench, or his odd penchant to pinch run?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'm going to go with "he was bunting for a hit".....because if either of those was a sacrifice (when I think I read they tried to do that in game 1, but I might be remembering wrong).......then he needs to go. Sacrifice bunting before inning 7 is a terrible idea, and even after inning 6, it is only a good idea in unique situations.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I can't see the games......but one trend I notice is that they refuse to pinch hit for their worst hitter.....and that's a repeat of a trend from last year. That's not something that is anything other than the manager not doing his job. I don't get it. And, his obsession with pinch running for his good hitters who are on 1B, when that 1 run doesn't make or break things? Uh, what?

    Personally, now that games aren't on free tv anymore, I prefer day games. I can "watch" on gamecast in the background. I would never do that at home, when I can be doing stuff I want.
  9. Mike Sixel
    So, Fien and Jepsen were bad, Buxton can't hit, and we are doubting the OF defense. What year is this?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Normally I would charge a fee for using that, but I think given the circumstances, you get it for free this time.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing taking the over on teh SO number for the Twins is a good idea......
  12. Mike Sixel
    I think that is certainly possible. I think it is the pitch recognition that he needs to work on.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Working on the west coast for the first time......really hard to do the time translations in my head.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I don't have a ton of faith in Perkins beating those numbers, but I love Escobar's odds to do so, and think Rosario will. However, I can't see the Twins being fast to pull the plug on either of them if they are struggling, so I don't share the "depth" argument much. Both will be given long leashes (and, imo, there is no depth at SS).
  15. Mike Sixel
    I agree with this, but 81 wins for me.
  16. Mike Sixel
    If they could keep the quality, and seriously ramp up production (thereby dropping costs), I'd be in. Best car I've ever been in, and I don' really care about cars all that much.
  17. Mike Sixel
    REALLY wanted to buy TSLA options before the last earnings announcement......could have nearly tripled my money. Coward. My cousin said that at one point, more than 700 people were in line in Scottsdale to order a new Tesla yesterday. He did.
  18. Mike Sixel
    flipping a coin.......virtually.... Over it is!
  19. Mike Sixel
    NM then.....pass.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I just hope that if the guys in MN are struggling, and the guys in AAA are dominating, that they make moves quicker, rather than slower.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't watch any minor league player live......how do Palka and ABWIII compare (as hitters)?
  22. Mike Sixel
    For people that don't care what Papi says, there are a lot of posts....... Didn't Ryan throw lukewarm water on Palka, when talking to someone in ST this year? I thought that was in a minor league thread.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I wasn't arguing that either way........was merely pointing out why some people wanted Plouffe moved. I like Plouffe, but I understand both sides of the argument.
  24. Mike Sixel
    It isn't about getting anything for Plouffe, though. It is 100% about putting the best team on the field. Some people don't think this is the ideal alignment.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Over, but man, vegas is good at setting these numbers. If one of their elite pitchers goes down, or Lindor, they are screwed, imo.
