    Odd, I've never had an issue with FB watching any game, either on my phone, iPad, or computer....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I, otoh, love that baseball is giving fans free baseball.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I think we might also want to look at who they did not protect (ahem, Rodriguez) recently......if the goal is to judge their performance.
  4. Mike Sixel
    After Sano, I'd say how Belisle is used will indicate more about this team than I want to know.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I am irrationally excited about Kiriloff.....and want Rooker in AAA right now.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Clearly this FO wanted him badly, since they offered the second most money....so I don't understand what you are arguing. As for last year's trades, meh. I think I only really care about the Ynoa trade. The rest were kind of blah players for blah players. This year's trades are very different, starting with the Odorizzi trades, and then the sell off trades.

    Tony Womack 9:41 How do you evaluate the Yankees deadline deals? Seems like a rare instance where Cashman may not have come out on top. Jeff Sullivan 9:42 I don't really get the Lance Lynn thing. Admittedly, I haven't examined it for a closer look, and I don't think Tyler Austin is important, but Lynn is bad https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jeff-sullivan-fangraphs-chat-8-1-18/

    No one said the players were not accountable for their performance...so I'm not srue where the "let it slide" thing comes from. I guess if I traveled with other guys for half the year, and our families were friends, yes, I'd be sad if one of them was traded. That's only human. It doesn't excuse poor performance, but it might explain it (I doubt that, actually). What the money has to do with any of this baffles me also....they are rich so they don't have feelings? There's not double standard here, imo. I can't even whiff one actually.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    they had discussions with Escobar, they didn't finalize a deal. At some point, you trade him in a lost season, imo.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I gotta say, I can't decide if I love this, or hate this, take.....as there are layers to unfurl.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    And if they are, who, exactly, is he mentoring? The bullpen isn't exactly filled with young players. Nor is the OF or INF.....so, I am still boggled. Mind. boggled.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Or, you know, May, or Reed, or anyone not named Belisle.
  13. Mike Sixel
    As someone said in another thread....this season sucks.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Seriously, how is May not the choice there? Matt. Belisle. MoY. They can both go for me...
  15. Mike Sixel
    Just walk Rameriz every single AB...... Seriously, best contract ever?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Concur....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I predict Sano is the best hitter the rest of this year for the Twins. I know, low bar at this point.....but still. I'll go so far as one of the five best 3B in all of the majors the rest of the year. Why yes, yes I did drink with dinner, why do you ask?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Why? He's a pitcher. You have to wait until sometime next year, imo. Injury risk is just too great. Also, how many years are you willing to give up if you are Gibson? And, how many years are you willing to extend if you are MN? He's over 30...... I'd be ok with a three year deal, but not love doing it before next year's ASB.
  19. Mike Sixel
    No, you decrease your odds of scoring multiple runs, which is what you need in teh second inning. seventh inning or later? sure, sacrifice in a tight game.....but never in the second (unless the P is up)
  20. Mike Sixel
    he thought he was watching the play at second from last night....easy mistake.
  21. Mike Sixel
    ninjad! thanks.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Fire him. Seriously.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Yup, just noticed that....though what was the timing of that? They forgot another player also....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Please tell me they didn't sacrifice bunt in the second inning.....please.
  25. Mike Sixel
    For me, contrition is good enough for words.....mostly. Mostly. Kind of depends on the words....
