    Terrible might be the right word

    How does Rudolph get open, while running in cement? What a touchdown throw!
  3. Mike Sixel
    Barr stinks. what happened to him?

    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/willians-astudillo-hasnt-struck-out-in-55-plate-appearances/ Jeff has been wanting him to play all year...

    Have they confirmed him yet?

    I think Mauer deserved that contract. I think the owners may or may not have felt it constrained them, but it really didn't. If it did, it was a choice. He was one of the best hitters, in his prime, we've seen, and he did it at catcher. I just wish they had moved him off catcher a year earlier, as some here and elsewhere were hoping. We may be having a very different conversation right now..... Mauer was a great, great player. He deserved to be paid like a great player. The Twins failed him, and us, by putting bad teams, mostly, around him. None of that was his fault.

    Motley Fool has one of their advice/sales calls on Wednesday talking about marijuana companies. I think they believe lots of money is there, lots. I'll let you know...

    Place to discuss things in long thread is elsewhere......a comment or two, sure, but people have asked that we not do that here as much....
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm tired of aiming low......so I hope they don't agree with you. How does JA Happ get you to the WS?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Her statement is now on line..... https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4945893/Ford-Written-Testimony.pdf

    Is He-man back?
  12. Mike Sixel
    100% agree.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Because you don't wait until all your ducks are in a row to add talent. Ramos is probably a three year deal....so he's here and good when those young guys are here and good.....Or should they just sit on all the money this year, and next year, until the moon and stars align?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Why not get a great SP now, locked up for 3-5 years? It rarely works out what you exactly need will be sitting there when you need it. They are swimming in money, and their five highest paid players are all FAs after 2019 also.....

    This one seems to show the other! https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/28506/baseball-therapy-is-there-a-times-through-the-order-penalty/ https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/22156/baseball-proguestus-everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-the-times-through-the-order-penalty/ this one rebuts the first one, politely... https://mglbaseball.com/2016/02/29/does-familiarity-breed-contempt-or-is-fatigue-not-the-best-pillow/

    completely......
  17. Mike Sixel
    True, they won't get much in the last two years, assuming the Senate swings, which it most likely will.....and they might have issues after the election, but I doubt it. Why wouldn't they just vote someone else in?
  18. Mike Sixel
    It truly is....I'm hopeful that non voters get mad, but I have my doubts. But this is different....the GOP controls the Senate until Jan of next year.....they'll get someone thru, imo. Might as well give us some hope that it will help us somehow, rather than no hope.
  19. Mike Sixel
    This staff is not great enough to carry them to contention next year, imo.....so if they are trying to contend this year or next, adding a legit FA or veteran in trade, with at least 3 years of control left, is the correct route, imo. If they aren't serious about next year or the year after (remember, Gibson is a FA, as is Pineda, so they will need at least one or two new SPs...), then I guess I don't care what they do all that much.

    mike sixel 1:10 Nick Gordon: Will he hit enough (he's young, so I'm not overly worried)...and will he play SS or 2B in the majors? Thanks, Eric A Longenhagen 1:10 I have him as a 2B with some pop.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Does anyone doubt he's confirmed? If not him, I'd guess Trump somehow finds someone even more right..... So, if they are going to seat a righty, I'd rather it be this guy, so that voters are even more pissed......because whomever they seat won't be friendly to women, minorities, or rights in general that aren't about guns and churches and corporations.

    I also asked a Rooker question, but since this was answered, I doubt mine will be: Raking Rooker 12:17 Rooker doesn't make the BOARD. Just wondering if you have any quick thoughts about his future. Is he a Twin in 2019 or 2020? Or just another quad A masher in the making? Eric A Longenhagen 12:17 He's on there: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2018-in-season-prospect-... 12:19 There's risk that he's a 4A guy, sure. Realistic upside is a solid everyday DH/1B/LF type Striking out at that rate at his age in Double-A is not a great sign, but the power is real. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eric-longenhagen-chat-9-26/

    Research shows it is almost totally familiarity, and not fatigue. So, rigid. Plus, they got what they want/need.....6 innings from the primary.
  24. Mike Sixel
    That stat line, in today's environment is a lot better than OK......if he walks at all. That's anywhere from league average hitter, to 20% better....again, depending on if it is 30HR and some walks, or 20HRs and no walks.... Only 74 qualified hitters had a BA higher than .260......
  25. Mike Sixel
    If your strategy is to mostly build thru the draft, and not spend big on FAs or trade minor league stars for veterans.....you MUST be better than other teams are, or you are destined for mediocrity. So being "just like other teams" isn't good enough for this kind of team. It just isn't.
