    It would be true of every MLB pitcher, or Sano wouldn't get so many meatballs....it's not easy to throw the perfect pitch thousands of times a year.

    He probably loved the gays too....

    Are we actually arguing about Sale vs Santana?
  4. Mike Sixel
    I see no reason to cut Gibson. Call up Berrios, give him the year. See what Gibson does for 4-8 more starts. There is no one knocking down the door to be here. Someone will get hurt. Someone will flame out. Someone might get traded.

    Matt 1:21 "and all players should perform worse on the road given the strike zone works against them there compared to home" I understand analysis has been done, but considering that umpire crews do not call a stadium home and they travel just as teams do, how can this be explained in context outside of the data? Travis Sawchik 1:22 Umpires have a bias for the home team/crowd http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/is-home-field-advantage-becoming-endang...

    Thanks for the hope, Mike! Hope all is well with the practice.

    Maybe humans aren't meant to throw a baseball this hard over and over?

    You should immediately go to a bookstore, and buy all of his books. Seriously. Although, Norse Mythology isn't necessary at all. Don't buy that one.

    How was Wright's last outing? I haven't kept up on game logs...
  10. Mike Sixel
    dang man, you just beat me here! I find it fascinating Molitor even knows FGs exists, let alone he's asking questions there!
  11. Mike Sixel
    Have you read it? Weird is a good word for sure. Lots of side stories in teh book also, which you will definitely get in teh tv show, from what I've read.
  12. Mike Sixel
    hard to say, really. If there was any guarantee you could get a guy like that to drop, any guarantee, maybe. Would I trade Greene for a LH 1B (TF is death to those, and Sano is your 1B in 3ish years) and a pitcher that might or might not be as good a prospect (although only Hrbowski and Nice think/imply that of anyone I can find online)? Maybe. Would I take that chance, knowing that is it possible or likely none of them fall and they are taken before 35? less likely. edit: It would be cool if I could type coherent sentences...

    I hate injuries so much.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Pavin Smith? No chance. If you are taking a LH 1B, you take McKay in case he can pitch.

    So far, reviews seem pretty good on American Gods. Any thoughts? This and Handmaiden's Tale make me want to pay for tv, even though I hardly watch it.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Sure, if Netflix pays enough MLB will do anything. It sure would be an interesting experiment. I don't think Netflix does any "live" streaming right now at all.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Hmmm....if WAR=wins I'd get if I replaced random player with this player.....going from 70 to 81 wins would be 11 WAR. Putting aside how it is calculated on various sites, you are saying that SANO is worth 11 wins to a team. That just seems hard to believe, for me. I'd guess he's more like 7-8 when he's at his best. Which is probably just outside the margin of error to get to 10-11, imo.
  18. Mike Sixel
    interesting idea, but I know I want actual sports games, not talking heads. I might be tempted to watch a short recap of the day in MLB and highlights, but I can't see MLB letting them stream that....
  19. Mike Sixel
    11 WAR? No chance. I do think he has a shot at MVP, btw. But, the voters will need Trout fatigue, and the SS's will have to play worse than they did last year.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Why? They still pitch to Trout, and Harper, and Machado, and, and, and. Teams don't just pitch around a great hitter and put him on base for free. Other than Bonds, I'm not sure they ever really did.
  21. Mike Sixel
    since I can't see the games....I'm curious. Is this like when Hicks just refused to swing, and he either walked or hit a single? Or, is he legit just not getting strikes thrown to him? I don't understand not throwing him enough strikes, frankly....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I was just glad it wasn't blocked at work, so I could watch it. He has stuff. That's clear.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. Call him up this week, leave him up all year.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Normally I'd bury this in teh "fangraphs and other national ...." thread....but here is his 6th inning yesterday! Enjoy. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/daily-prospect-notes-51/
  25. Mike Sixel
    They didn't even try, imo. Signing high upside guys coming off bad years, so you don't pay as much and if they hit you can deal them (or keep them)? That's how rebuilding teams work. Signing 37 yo RPs? Uh.
