    Not sure I understand this. If he's a bad pitcher, it shouldn't matter when he pitches. I don't think the pressure is getting to him....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'd argue it is a talent issue, and probably the manager also. I don't believe Puerto Rico had anything to do with this.

    12:51 CubFan: Lance Lynn, getting off to a slow/bad start or something more worrisome? Seems like walks are killing him. I’m always leery of guys switching leagues, especially NL to AL. 12:52 Jay Jaffe: I’m leery of leaping to judgment on guys who signed so late, which goes for Cobb as well, not to mention a whole lot of other players given this weird winter/spring — it seems like a lot of those guys are starting slowly ,and I can’t blame them. Planning to do a roundup next week. 12:53 Louis: Is Mauer to Hall effectively dead? 12:54 Jay Jaffe: No https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/joe-mauer-and-the-rule-of-2000/ https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jay-jaffe-fangraphs-chat-4-26-18/

    Adam: Buxton finished really strong last year yet started this year still in the 8 hole. When healthy will he be given teh chance to put that speed to work near the top of the lineup? Keith Law: I assume 1) when he’s off the DL and 2) starts hitting well, he’ll move up. I doubt this is permanent. http://meadowparty.com/blog/2018/04/26/klawchat-4-26-18/

    They have Reed and Rodney. Gibson had done good job, and the third time thru the order penalty is real. I guess he could have tried for one more inning, but I think he got this right. And I'm no fan....
  6. Mike Sixel
    They aren't snakebit, they aren't as good as the Yankees. Snakebit is code for.... Don't blame me

    I thought he, mostly, handled the pieces he's been given well today. Today is on the front office and their choice of Rodney, imo. Note, I said today.... Not every day
  8. Mike Sixel
    Even a regressed Morrison is better than the existing alternatives. Not defending the move, just saying a normal year for him is better than any internal option. There risk was fairly low, imo
  9. Mike Sixel
    I don't want to derail the thread. No one brought it up until you did and Howie did. Maybe don't bring it up next time?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Heh. True.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Hard to see them winning later, if it is only tied....
  12. Mike Sixel
    This started because someone asked for a name of a good rebuild, or fast, or whatever. You were the one that kept it going, and started a disagreement.
  13. Mike Sixel
    They won the world series. The twins haven't won a playoff game. I'm not convinced the twins are even good, let alone rebuilt yet.
  14. Mike Sixel
    The front office clearly did.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Thanks. So mostly on Rodney.... Sigh.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Oh good. Clogging up the staff more with mediocrity.
  17. Mike Sixel
    So what happened in the two grounds balls, please? Also, Rodney is not good.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Cripes
  19. Mike Sixel
    What is happening? Hard to tell from gameday
  20. Mike Sixel
    They really don't seem to trust young players, or something
  21. Mike Sixel
    Glad they got a hit. Gibson is done, or close. Now they won't be tempted to keep him on too long..
  22. Mike Sixel
    Can only go up, but he's doing his best to prove that even inexpensive deals can be bad.... I expect league average DH the rest of the way.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The blue Jays were largely projected to be better than the twins, and they have been. I'm not sure I would expect a series win. Might happen, but might not.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Houston.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This was the single most predictable thing that would happen this year. What a waste.
