    He ran hard into the wall again? He really needs to learn from this.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Trust me on this one, yes.
  3. Mike Sixel
    and sausage, I'd imagine, should also be ground....

    Meh. I don't agree, I'd rather they play the long game. They don't need to beat the Brewers to prove anything to anyone. But, I guess both of our posts are opinions, not facts.....and the "truth" may be in the middle. Who knows? Not me. I'm just a rando poster....

    I have no idea why people say the Twins aren't talked about, or respected.... Melchez 3:58 How about a shout out to the Twins? Best record in baseball and hardly anyone knows. Steve Adams 3:59 I don't think it's true at all that no one knows. They're pretty highly talked about throughout the game and here at MLBTR as well. Jeff just wrote like 1500 words on how good the Polanco/Kepler extensions look, too: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/05/the-hidden-gems-of-the-extensio... Big Show 4:09 Twins played nothing but terrible teams so far, theyre just the new Mariners, nothing to see here. Steve Adams 4:10 The Twins won their season series against the Astros. When the Mariners had their hot start last year their run differential was +13. The Twins are at +110 right now, which is the best in the Majors by 20 runs. 4:11 Seven games against the Astros isn't all that telling, but it kind of flies in the face of the notion that they can't beat a good team. 4:12 And their run differential is tough to ignore. Maybe they're not *this* good, but they're much better than last year's Mariners were, and they're going to add pieces to this club now that they have a 10-game lead in the ALC. https://www.jotcast.com/chat/chat-with-mlbtrs-steve-adams-5-28-19-5381.html

    I think it is about rest, yes. We are learning how important rest and recovery is to athletes (sleep is key, btw).....and I think the Twins are embracing this. You can, I think, see it in the day to day lineups.

    I like the history note! thanks.
  8. Mike Sixel
    You really think they'll go pitching in round 1? I'll be pleasantly surprised.
  9. Mike Sixel
    this all seems correct to me, except maybe the timing on Cruz......
  10. Mike Sixel
    I know it isn't for everyone, but we just finished season 3 of the Magicians. Camp, violence, magic, drugs, angst.......but what I really like is that it continues to surprise me. That's about as important as good writing for me......
  11. Mike Sixel
    You changed the topic. I'm not obligated to play the, ya but what about the other side, game.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Sano has an OPS over 1000 since his return. What, exactly, are you looking for, expecting? By Fangraphs offensive measure, he's hitting like a top 5 3B in all the league.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I agree, the FO seems to be doing well with the rules this year, though the Cruz thing is a bit hard to understand at this point....

    Well, given how the right wing parties talk and act, that seems to be pretty obvious. You know, removing protections from LGBTQ (Trump removed 3 last week) people, saying bad things about immigrants (which is different than wanting to fix immigration problems) like they commit more crime (they don't) and take jobs (they don't) or use welfare money disproportionally (they don't). Basically, what the right wing parties are saying, and how they are acting. You know, passing laws making it harder to vote, or saying that a free press is bad, stuff that literally the right wing parties do every day. Stuff that is anti freedom, every day. It used to be the GOP wanted a freedom, and even the right wing parties in GB and other places did. Turns out controlling the populace, using fear to get elected, and lowering taxes is all they really care about. If you aren't willing to acknowledge that about the right wing parties, I don't know what to say. It seems pretty clear I was talking about the parties, not "all the people" which is an exaggeration of a point, sort of the gotcha world of the internet.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I think this is all about teams (esp MN) realizing that rest is more important for peak performance than we used to realize.

    I was specifically talking about the ads that move the page around, not TD or ads in general. It's a well run site. I have no issues with the ads at all, other than the ones that, after the page loads, right about when you want to write or click, the whole page shifts, and you end up clicking the ad. This is a known issue on the web, and it isn't easy to "fix".....so hopefully you know this isn't about you at all. I had 5 people lined up to write, now down to 1. that's the hard part for me.

    and cheaper tickets! Really, a good product at a good price sells more, weird!

    This seems like a good way to give a guy that didn't pitch for two years some rest......and to get a look at another pitcher from the minors to see if they really need to trade for someone......I hope Pineda is ok!
  20. Mike Sixel
    If he's good to great, he will be signed. That's sports.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Thanks to everyone here who has served!
  22. Mike Sixel
    I don't care if people care, I just am curious why they do. Care, don't care, that's cool. I'm just curious.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Poland elected the right wing party, I see. I get it, but don't get it. Those who love freedom and aren't afraid of other people need to figure out a message, ffs.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Every time I read people say so and so is untouchable,I look at Romero's numbers this year..... And wonder why anyone thinks anyone is untouchable....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand why anyone cares. Why do people care if "the media" are covering their favorite team or not? Genuine question, why do you care?
