    I don't think there is any evidence it works this way, actually.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'd put climate change at or near the the top of the things I care about, frankly, for example.
  3. Mike Sixel
    NL makes more sense. He gets to hit every 5 days, and he can PH for the other pitchers every game. He gets rest to be ready to pitch, but he still gets around 150-200 ABs in a year.
  4. Mike Sixel
    you have no idea what I care about. Seriously.

    Great win! Whomever decided to bunt Buxton over was wrong, imo. Whomever decided NOT to bunt Buxton and Rosario over was wrong, imo. If those are the same people, sigh. If they aren't, it is certainly possible the first bunt happened because of culture.....sigh. The "logic" applied in that inning was about as bad as possible in terms of likely win outcomes.
  6. Mike Sixel
    good point. Did you say 3?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Must really bother the manager he won't be able to bunt with his three hitter....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Vargas is what he is. The issue is not stealing, or using your hottest hitter to sacrifice, and then when you get lucky, not sacrificing when you should. Just awful.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Awful managing
  10. Mike Sixel
    didn't the Dodgers just trade for a pitcher, in good faith?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing, since he isn't getting money right away, he cares about winning. The Marlins have new owners, and not a good team. I'm not sure it is a good fit for winning. And the culture would be totally unknown, since it will be new. I just don't see it. West Coast, NY, Cubs, TX. Boston.

    Ah, I missed this was just for the WC game...... I'd not have Berrios on the WC roster. There are enough other pitchers for relief. If they need a RP after 2-3 inning,s they are in trouble any way. Your best RPs should be on that roster, even if you have to burn thru all of them 1 inning at a time....
  13. Mike Sixel
    can't. tell. if. serious.
  14. Mike Sixel
    then you weren't reading my comments, or others' comments, only some of them....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I think they keep three catchers also, for PH reasons. They don't need as many pitchers in the post season. uh, is Berrios in the pitching list and I missed it?
  16. Mike Sixel
    good stuff: https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2017/9/14/16305088/alex-smith-sam-bradford-week-1-deep-ball-tendencies
  17. Mike Sixel
    ya, but then we couldn't have loaded phrases in posts....
  18. Mike Sixel
    right. I think one of them eliminates the other in a hot run....best is they just keep splitting with each other.

    Mario Mendoza12:24 Jorge Polanco???? FG prospect writers always spoke highly of him, but man, he was so bad, and, now, he's so hot. Did something click? What do expect for 2018? Eno Sarris12:24 Maybe that's what I should write about. Because it's crazy to me. And I don't know why. Art Vandelay 12:37 I know the Twins have a rough playoff history against the Yankees, but I feel like a wild card game is exactly the thing to exorcise those demons. I'm here for it. WIN TWINS! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Eno Sarris 12:37 Put it all on Berrios? $11 Worth of Taco Bell 1:27 Should Max Kepler hit for more power than he has? Eno Sarris 1:27 Does not hit the ball very hard or in great angles. But wears out the ball down the line and is smart. Good player, not great, shouldn't hit for more power unless he adjusts. 1:33 Heraclitus: Does Trevor Hildenberger have top-ten reliever upside? 1:33 Eno Sarris: Funky release, tough on guys who haven’t seen him before, doubt he’s a closer type. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eno-sarris-baseball-chat-91417/

    I'm a Mejia believer, and even I think putting him as part of the core is premature. But, I think he's a long time number 4 type here.....which would be great!
  21. Mike Sixel
    which is one reason I like that Eric on Fangraphs gives "grades" for tools and whatno....you can see the tiers, and it is clear there are a few elite prospects, a couple handfuls of great ones, a few dozen really good ones, and everyone else kind of about the same....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I guess if we also ignore all the young players that don't turn out....sure. I'll mention Danny Santana here as an example...
  23. Mike Sixel
    I still see TX as next most likely after LAA, but ya, it does seem to be coming down to that team and, again, great write up.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I think also that people seem to think 100 is a real cutoff of some kind, and not an arbitrary number. No one is saying that RPs won't have MLB careers, they are saying they aren't likely to MLB careers so valuable (and different than a random RP) that they are one of the most likely elite players....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I found that comment interesting also. While individual RPs won't likely compile huge numbers, in aggregate they will. So, when looking at MLB WAR as a whole, more will come from non ranked players, but individually those non ranked players won't be worth that much..... That raises an interesting question about aggregate WAR, imo. If most RPs are about the same, and hence are R or about, how does that change how aggregate WAR should be calculated?
