    Even strike out pitchers benefit from defense. I don't really get how saying the defense is bad somehow "excuses" pitchers. The defense is bad.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, all Hicks needs is someone to tell him to swing more, that will fix things.
  3. Mike Sixel
    If the Ryan quote is real.....they are going with Hicks/Shaefer? Super. It's worked so well the last two years not having a legit CF, why not try a third year? I suppose it is possible Rosario is here out of spring training, but it seems unlike the Twins to do that. No way Buxton is here for at least 2-3 months... I think, if their strategy is to abandon defense, they are still short of offense.

    I had to reboot my ipad after the last update to get video to work. Like, days later. Works fine now.
  5. Mike Sixel
    When would it have been ok to ask about defense and his beliefs? The second press conference, the third?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Other fans do, though, apparently. I wonder how Goin feels about Hunter calling his job stupid, basically.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Did anyone ask TR about the defense/non-strikeout pitching staff yet? I didn't get to hear it, as I was in the dentist chair. The media here is largely a PR machine for the teams (though, in fairness, that's probably true in most cities).
  8. Mike Sixel
    But Torii gets to make political statements and make advertisements in support of politicians based on those beliefs? That's the price you pay, if you speak up, you get asked about it. Either way, completely unprofessional to call someone a prick. Good start, Torii.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Wait, did someone just type that the SP staff would be top 10 in the league next year?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Jokingly, or seriously? Either way, not professional.....if the new fieriness is about being a jerk to the media, yuck.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Welcome to the team.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I have... I have said maybe they are just trying to outscore the other team this year, I've said it like three times now....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I agree they are lacking fieriness.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I was told that was part of the announcement.....that Hunter would be in RF, and Arcia in LF. If not, as I said, this decreases to hate, not super hate, the move. It might even drop it to dislike.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not because of Young being left......that was just a better team. Like I said in another post, maybe they are just going to try to outscore everyone. It has worked for other teams.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Look, I'm trying hard not to post about his beliefs, and the hypocrisy of his statements about very bad behavior that he finds acceptable.......but if we really want to talk about what a great guy he is, I'm sorely tempted to offer pages of links about what a great guy he isn't...... If Hunter thinks it is more likely he'll win in MN than in TX, are we supposed to admire his baseball IQ? Do people really think that MN will be better than TX next year?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Cool list.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Tell that to Delmon Young, chief..... when did Arcia last play LF? If he takes bad routes, is that likely to improve seeing the ball in another angle? If he isn't super fast, is moving him to the larger field a good idea? If Hunter is gone in a year, and Arcia is your RF after that.....why not leave Arcia in RF, and move Torri, I'm a great leader and teammate and will do whatever it takes to win, to LF?
  19. Mike Sixel
    If Hunter could still play defense.....wouldn't the Tigers have kept him, or Seattle have signed him?
  20. Mike Sixel
    If you were a SP trying to resurrect your career.......would you come here with Arcia in LF, Hunter in RF, and ???? in CF? A guy on a 1 year deal, with upside, would you come here?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Then put the 39 year old in LF, and keep the young guy at his natural position. Then I only hate the deal a little, not with the passion of 1000000000 burning suns* *ok, that's an exaggeration
  22. Mike Sixel
    I would not sign here as a FA SP for a one year make good contract. It looks to be bad out there on defense. We can disagree on how bad, but does anyone think the OF defense will be anything other than bottom 5?
  23. Mike Sixel
    this is true.....especially the spouse golf thing, sigh.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    The Captain won gold gloves when he could barely move.....GG mean NOTHING.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Or that the minors aren't doing their job in developing the right attitude. Look, I believe in leadership. I believe culture makes a difference. I just don't believe that it matters more than talent, skill, training. I do think, that if Hunter is a great leader, it makes a difference. But, if NOT ONE guy on the roster can do that now......that's a failure of the development staff, imo.
