    Meg Rowley 2:09 Rodney is the best player to enjoy when not having to worry about results in all of baseball. All of it! https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/meg-rowley-chat-4-5-18/

    And what makes you think we aren't listening? What is the assumption there?

    Ugh. I was always nervous about this. Ugh.

    I have examined my response to Rosario, and I've come to the same conclusion over and over. He makes a lot of head scratching plays, and it is frustrating since he has so much talent. I have also examined how I react to him sliding into first vs Punto doing so, and I realize I criticize them both. so, it seems somewhat natural to: a: not assume people here aren't examining themselves b: be offended, some, when people imply you are a racist. Should I just not have any reaction to that? That seems like an odd belief.

    Seath 2:02 Were you pleased to see the twins started Rooker at AA? You think he could contribute to the big club this year? Keith Law 2:03 I was - shows they get the issue around his age and also believe his new-ish swing is going to work at the lower levels. Don't waste his time; if he's going to be good, it will happen very soon.

    I really like brussel sprouts. Thought I understand why others don't.....

    I'll say this. I think Molitor cares more about winning than "it's opening day".....and I like that. I don't know if he's right or not, but I think he's trying to win more games, not worry about opening day traditions.

    Dane26 1:45 Does Akil Baddoo have the tools to be an above-average regular? Keith Law 1:45 Absolutely.

    Like I said....it's an example. Say you pay Darvish over 10 or 15 years, same money, when he'll be late thirties under the "normal" deal. Why is spreading the money out bad? It's good in almost every other business.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Interesting perspective. Genuine question, as we are friends.... how are chief, jimmer, and I showing our privelage?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I guess I'm talking more about the original post in teh game recap thread....and the replies. If he doesn't think anyone is being racist.....why is he asking if this is because of race? Just random?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Query: For a team on a budget, why is a 3 year, 75MM deal, better than a 5 year 85MM deal? Isn't stretching the money out better? Especially if you are willing to cut him after three years if he's bad? You were able to afford another player in teh first three years this way, right? edit: those numbers are examples, btw. If you are pedantic about the numbers, I did a bad job of communicating the actual point...
  13. Mike Sixel
    the second part. I think a verbal reminder is sufficient, never understood the benching thing (unless he's already warned him about this particular thing....)
  14. Mike Sixel
    thanks!
  15. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree at all that it wasn't implied very strongly that people here questioning him are racist in their motiviation. I think that's quite clear, actually.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Ah, that makes me feel better already! thanks,
  17. Mike Sixel
    they are boht in the lineup on the home opener? Interesting..... who isn't playing in the OF?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention all the times you asked them to sign Cuban players back in the day....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I never got hte Punto thing, on a logic perspective, but fandom is not logical, so here is why I think people like him.... He's not good, but he fake hustled. People love fake hustle. I don't know why, but they do. And, for some, it is certainly the "plucky white dude" syndrome for sure. OTOH, most people here ripped Punto for doing that, sometimes we even got warnings for doing it so often....
  20. Mike Sixel
    like what? I mean, what would htey base it on, and why do you think Gonsavles should be in AA?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'd do a three year deal for sure. Beyond that? Depends on a lot of factors. I don't see them signing a top pitcher this coming off season, given the competition and the list (which isn't great for pitchers). So, they don't really need the money next year at least.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'll probably be "working" during the game, try to be really funny so when I go back and read this later it's worth it. thanks everyone. "working" in this case means unloading window treatments for our installer, to speed up the process of installing, so we pay less. I think. Not sure. It's the wife's business, I just help out sometimes.
  23. Mike Sixel
    That fly ball had a 90% catch probability. I don't think it's charming at all, I rip every player when they slide into first. Continuing this line is starting to look like you are calling me out specifically. I probably rip players for sliding into first more than anyone else here. It's not charming at all, nor have I ever read a single person say it was. "swings at bad pitches?" nice straw man.
  24. Mike Sixel
    It's not just the old FO, most sites have Gordon in the top 60 or prospects in all of the minors. We care becaue it influences when they get to MN, despite all the proclamations to the contrary when this happens, the team almost always has players spend time in AAA. When they don't, this site points out that they were rushed, because they didn't have much/any time in AAA.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Racism is there, sure. But people who know me would laugh at the suggestion my criticism is anything other than genuine criticism of a guy that makes too many mistakes for a professional ball player. Nothing more. He makes a lot of mental errors. Pointing them out happens because he keeps making them. It's frustrating, because it is part of what keeps him from being as great as he can be.
