    scoops are part of fWAR, IIRC. I thought Dave or someone said that online this year. did you look?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Very intermittent.

    Haven't subscribed yet, but I'm glad someone is trying to build such a site. If I still LOVED sports, I'd pay for sure.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Definitely the same

    If people don't think one game is SSS, I don't know what to say. Seemed like a post that was not debatable.
  8. Mike Sixel
    ya, no confirmation bias there.....regardless of how many games they've had to make a decision, fans have had one game....so, ya, I'll go with SSS for people posting here this proves things.
  9. Mike Sixel
    One game. Talk about SSS.

    equally as exciting as arguably one of the best baseball players ever? That's kind of a high bar..... It is exciting and hopeful and all kinds of great superlatives that Buxton is playing like this right now.

    The part of me I don't like kind of wants to tell TX that the free market will handle this just fine......it bothers me greatly that people are willing to take government help when they need it, but vote to deny it to others. Here in Oregon, there are whole counties with huge financial issues, because they used to fund their government from checks they got for logging on government land. In other words, socialism. Now these are the same people that complain about other people getting handouts, and they don't even understand that that is how they lived for so long.....but I could never deny people help, just because they are self-centered and lack empathy.

    The Vikes were on national TV last night, I think, and I watched 2 plays. And I didn't care that I didn't watch more.

    We were repeating the same holidays over from the previous year, and my friends outside this page sort of lost interest, so I stopped tracking. The next few days aren't very interesting, but Wednesday includes National toasted marshmallow day. I love them that way.

    The dragon breath seemed a bit strong to me, but then, what do I know. Has Jaime finally figured out his sister is not worth standing by? I did not anticipate what happened to Littlefinger, until they were in the room, and Sansa talked how she talked, then I did right before it happened. I really fell for the Euron bluff at first (which I thought was ridiculously out of character). Despite the season's weaknesses, it was still very good entertainment. Did any good guys did this year at all, or only bad guys?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Well then. Lots happened there. Some of it was predicable, but I did not see it all.
  16. Mike Sixel
    CF Levi Michael? And yes, this is why they didn't cut Gimenez.....and I wont' go further down that rat hole.

    Showing again how stupid assigning wins and losses to one player truly is.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Ya, now that my brain is working, and I am listening less to this work meeting, I would not extend him. Let the contract play out.
  19. Mike Sixel
    ha,, and I composed my answer based on that other comment, not sure what my brain was doing there!

    To me it depends on the budget, and how they feel about their SP options in house right now. If they are somehow (not sure how, but somehow) at their budget next year, I don't think you can extend him unless they somehow believe in their SP and RP options internally. My assumption is they are losing 20 some million in payroll. That should buy them 1-2 RPs and most of a starter. If they can also extend Dozier and do that, then I probably do it. I don't love the idea, and I think they have other options, but it depends on how they want to spend their money next year. Signing him, or not, is not just about signing him. He's one of 25-35 people in a portfolio of assets, and they need to make the decision with their budget and other options in mind, not just in a vacuum of his value relative to other 2B.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Amen.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Last I heard, wins and losses in teh first half count as much as wins and losses after the break. I don't understand your point at all.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Zero percent chance they like Gonsalves more than Berrios. No way.
  24. Mike Sixel
    What I gathered was that the other alternatives offered were mostly sign bad players on the hope they would be good, or rely on the prospects. No one is offering a good, realistic, alternative. Just more of the same, that had led to one of the worst staffs in baseball for years.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ya, just stop trying to get better. Just trust the prospects, or sign reclamation projects. Never change. Sigh.
