    No, that's not really how "other" people feel. We too love it when underedogs win. If sports were completely predictable, play after play, and each individual game, I wouldn't watch. But, that's not necessarily how a GM should run a team........so, no, we aren't robots. Not close. As for the Twins, they've still not done one thing that really hurts for next year......and if Sano plays well on his return, they've barely hurt this year, unless you think Escobar plays for Polanco, Dozier, or Sano, which seems unlikely. Losing Pressley hurts, but what, one game, maybe two? I mean, if the FO doesn't have Belisle for some reason....

    Now I've done it twice! Inconceivable.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I predict Escobar signs a 2 or 3 year deal with MN in the off season.
  4. Mike Sixel
    can't believe I just "liked" a Christopher Cross post.....

    BTW, we should all be celebrating. My oldest son just got his first "real" job. Makes waaaaaay more than I did starting my third job! One down, one to go.
  6. Mike Sixel
    15 pitches, just like I thought....
  7. Mike Sixel
    where is that? Never been to Fenway. One of my good friends is there, or was last night. Must not be much city councilin' work to do in SLP in July....
  8. Mike Sixel
    If Sano comes back, and they don't trade Dozier.....won't that be likely anyway? Where does Escobar play when Sano comes back? I just don't see this as throwing in the towel on the year.

    Cave finally gets to start against a lefty.....and it might be the best one in baseball......let's hope he shows the Twins what he can do!
  10. Mike Sixel
    Now we know one reason Sano was in Rochester....how long is the flight/drive?
  11. Mike Sixel
    very well played.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I understand people's frustrations.....but I don't think trading Escobar signals anything about 2019 at all. He was a FA to be, and they can try to re-sign him in the off season. I'm not even sure this is completely defeating for this year, since they have Sano coming back to play 3B soon.
  13. Mike Sixel
    they sold high. At his peak value. this could be an actual RP up fast, if they convert him sooner rather than later. with two flyers. That was his peak value.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I feel bad for his friends in the clubhouse.
  15. Mike Sixel
    That simply isn't true........as FG says in their writeup, might have been a first round pick next year with numbers/stuff like this.
  16. Mike Sixel
    this is a fair take. I prefer to think that, while they just lost depth, they have not yet thrown in the towel....as Adrianza (sp?) can play 3B until Sano returns. I understand your frustration. I like that they sold high on a guy for a change.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't know what people were expecting for a utility INF for 2 months of rent......
  18. Mike Sixel
    wow!
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd be very disappointed in teh Twins.
  20. Mike Sixel
    the yankees literally built their system up by trading Chapman, while being over .500 a couple years ago. They sold high, and got good players.......
  21. Mike Sixel
    the average MLB start goes 5.1 innings, so I'm not sure how going less than six is a unique issue for the MOY to manage...... as for Escobar? Wow, I really thought they'd wait another couple days.
  22. Mike Sixel
    those rankings are from before the year started, the number 11 guy would have been about 5-7, I'd guess, if he had stayed in AZ.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmm. I thought they'd wait another few days, but as more and more teams make early trades, you have to make a decision earlier, I guess. The one pitcher sounds interesting, and is trending up. Looking at rankings from the beginning of the year, versus the updated ones (FG will be doing their team updates in a week or so), seems like a bad idea. I would have preferred a AA player too, but maybe they were not offered one......
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I trust either of those numbers over the long/short run......but I do trust Adrianza more than I expected, so who knows. Of course, there is no depth w/o them both.
  25. Mike Sixel
    No one is saying Bobby wilson is the reason they are five games under .500.
