    Agreed.

    Great writeup Seth, I say you keep writing them. Gotta work thru this slump, and not give up.

    An individual decision can still be good, and also be part of a bad pattern/process. I don't know if this is or not, frankly. I think it's a harder call to make than it might seem.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I like the trend.

    ah, thx! sometimes I forget your name starts with dr!

    new research shows your fears of lots of "small" impacts (they aren't that small, actually) is bad. Did anyone see Jim Plunkett's posts/news, and the response of fans taht "they are adults and got paid a lot"....so, ya, lack of good fans/empathy also is an issue for me.

    only 1? We had a mini family reunion at the Vikings Cards game last fall. We had 3 drunks, and people apologizing for their friends. If not for there being 10 family members there, it would have been boring probably. But, modern stadiums and their huge screens help....

    The day my youngest quit playing football was one of the happier days of my life...

    I could no longer root for AP, which made it hard to be a Viking fan....
  10. Mike Sixel
    yes,
  11. Mike Sixel
    Is the the be all and Enns all of pitching?

    Vargas wasn't even mentioned in that post. Mauer is not good compared to other 1B in the majors. He seems to wear out too, but that could just be anecdote, not sure. Walks are better than outs, but they aren't nearly as good as hits or extra base hits. Not all OBP is created equal. It's why you have to look at all the stats.

    mind. boggling. But true!

    I haven't scoured as much lately, sorry.... mike sixel 12:56 How does Colon do this? Eno Sarris 12:56 Front. Door. Sinkers. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eno-sarris-baseball-chat-81017/

    I used to love the NFL like no other sport. Then my son started playing football, and we started learning a lot more about the impact of the game on the body/brain..... 1. I watch very little sports at all anymore 2. The awful impact on their bodies makes me uncomfortable 3. I no longer do FF, as all my leagues slowly died (we played back in the day you had to vote on what newspaper to use for the official stats.....) 4. So many other fun things to do with my time 5. I found that my mood was more affected by outcomes than I like so, ya, decreasing. I posted on FB this week that I was considering giving up most/all watching of football....

    And, the Mets could have had $1MM and 2 prospects, but chose the $3.7MM instead. They might be the worst run team in baseball.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Or, they could have decreased the RP list by 1, and still called up Garver and Vargas......what they did was not the only option.
  18. Mike Sixel
    My favorite part of that is Buesnitz sitting there watching....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I have no interest in Molitor coming back. He still bunts way too much, even last night they had a 4 run lead, and he used his good RPs. He's going to burn them out just like Rogers and Duffey, and guys were last year. I'm just not a believer.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Congratulations! So exciting to have a dream come true.
  21. Mike Sixel
    It's always acceptable for fans to be excited. should they be buyers, you ask? Well, for one, bats are going for 10 cents on teh dollar right now, compared to pitchers. There have been a lot of words written about that on line.....if they could add a legit DH for their 20-30th ranked player in low A ball, I'd do it. (frankly, I'd call up Garver and see if he can do it). I'm not convinced there is a RP that is better than what they have available right now. I'd consider trading for Verlander or such type player, but I don't think the Tigers are going to eat salary enough to make it worth giving up legit prospects, and I don't think teams are trading legit prospects for him....

    except Grossman can't really hit. Walks are better than outs, but they aren't as good as hits. He's not good either.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I might have endorsed a Sonny Gray trade, but not a trade of "real" prospects for a 2 month rental. Also, I hated the "one move" strategy, deployed again this year. Either try to win, or don't, but one move? ugh.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Well, luckily for the living, the army of the dead won't be coming at them from all directions.....

    Euron found her no problem....and no scouts were helping Jaime at the battle of the loot train?
