    Maybe move some of the "meh" starters to RP.......like with Rodgers for example.....DeJong, Slegers, and others are not going to be difference makers at SP....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Of course, finding actions unconstitutional is part of the courts' role......so I'm not sure what you are arguing.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    Two losses in three tough road trips..... Stupid Buffalo
  4. Mike Sixel
    Can't watch, but my son is keeping me updated.....I like this defense a lot more
  5. Mike Sixel
    KC looks legit.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Heh... Good point sorry. I post it about as often as they win.... But I can stop
  7. Mike Sixel
    At some point, just fold the program.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Who are you arguing with? No one is saying give up on them. Other than a small number of people saying Sano can't play 3B.....those same people are saying he can DH or 1B.....but no one is saying give up. People are saying....have alternatives available. Nothing more or less.

    I'm looking forward to Good Omens next year.....best cast ever. And Gaiman is the writer/runner, so any changes should still be good.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Wasnt I replying to a post that asked what happens if they go get a legit OF, and Buxton is good too? Of course I don't move him for no good reason....
  11. Mike Sixel
    JG 1:57 Giardi, Bannister, David Ross, Alomor Jr., or Ausmus for Twins manager? Keith Law 1:58 Ross has never managed, so I can't support that. Ausmus never grew at all as a manager in Detroit, so would you really hire him unless you felt absolutely certain that in just one year off the job he's changed his managing philosophy? Girardi was pretty solid in NY and I think he'd be a good hire for a lot of situations.

    Put Buxton in LF or RF, problem solved. Move Sano to 1B/DH, problem solved. That said, I doubt they acquire an OF, but I could see trying out Donaldson, who can probably play 1B/DH if Sano is good again......

    Ron 1:47 Do you think Mauer retires? It looks like it. Will really miss him. But he hasn't been the same since the concussion. Some in Twins Land still don't realize what they had. At least in his catching days one of the best around. Should have had 2 MVPs. Borderline HOF? Keith Law 1:47 Sounds like he's retiring, don't think he gets into the Hall as his case is solid but not a slam dunk and relies heavily on advanced stats.
  14. Mike Sixel
    if that's the plan, good luck getting anyone to the games.......they have 40-60MM in money to spend.... Why not just DH Astudillo in that scenario. He can play defense too......he's >>>>>>>>>>>>Grossman.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not yet Twins' related....but should be: andy 1:25 Looks like Gray won't start Game 1 for the Rockies. He might not start at all. Something's clearly not working there. Do you think he needs a change of scenery? Do you see anything specifically wrong with him? Keith Law 1:26 Pitching in Coors is hard, man. You can be totally fine and still struggle there because your fastball doesn't move quite as much, or contact is just a little harder than it would be elsewhere. All the more credit to Kyle Freeland for the year he had. If the Rockies want to shop Gray, they shouldn't sell him for less than 90 cents on that dollar, because there's a good chance he becomes an above-average starter somewhere else, and there's still some chance he does it in Denver.

    BTW, KLAW has Kershaw and Corbin as the number 3 and 4 FAs (if Clayton opts out)......It seems unlikely the Twins sign a top FA.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    mike sixel 1:15 Byron Buxton was pretty much dead last in wrc+ and any other hitting statistic you want. He can't be that bad again....but how long do we have to wait? Keith Law 1:15 Didn't play much and wasn't necessarily healthy when he did play.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Still better than this team the last four years, record wise........but sure, I"m not arguing to stop there, but it would be nice to at least be that good.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Also, I'd do the QO for sure if they can't agree on a number (assuming he's good again).

    Key paragraph: In essence, we’ve moved from “partisanship,” which still allowed for political compromises in the end, “to tribalism,” which does not, explained political scientist Norman Ornstein, co-author, with Thomas Mann, of the book “It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism.” In a tribal world it’s rule or die, compromise is a sin, enemies must be crushed and power must be held at all costs. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/opinion/the-american-civil-war-part-ii.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur

    The right has been playing the long game for 3-4 decades......and in the US it has NEVER been true that 70+% of the people vote (which you'd need to consistently win), let alone in mid terms or at the state level.....The other side(s) needs to motivate people over and over and over, that aren't unified at all, to agree and participate. That won't happen over night.....hell, Obama was supposed to be a great leader, and the dems lost control of the government right away...... None of this accounts for gerrymandering, stacking the judiciary with lifetime opponents of free elections, and laws at the state level that make it harder and harder to vote..... We also don't have a parliamentary system, and never will, so I'm not sure how that helps the discussion.

    Why would you do anything with Berrios and his contract right now? Pitchers get hurt, a lot, and he's here for several more years.....it would be bad to do anything that wasn't a terrible deal for Jose..... Odo? Nothing at this point. He's a fine 3 or so, probably, but they might be able to replace that with Thorpe or Romero or Mejia, maybe. Or a FA signing. Gibson? I'd offer him a 3 year extension, because he's getting better as time goes on, and they need a veteran who struggled then got better, imo. But, if they don't, I wouldn't be upset or surprised. Pineda hasn't been healthy for over a year, and people keep penciling him in. Mind. Boggling. Berrios is the obvious choice for pitcher of the year....

    How do you plan to unbrainwash people that have been taught something since the 80s? By their government, schools, churches and parents? Because leadership isn't going to do that..... edit: and the media
  24. Mike Sixel
    I love bat flips, like, not enough to marry them, but close.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    So you'd rather have another war? Just buy out the northern states and merge with canada already..... and yes, I'm mostly not serious, but more than 30% of the populace is ruled by fear and anger, despite "worshiping a god of love"
