    For me? It FORCES you to get someone else...but I totally get your point...

    I wonder what his hard hit ball rate is right now......I'd bet that's the issue.

    If anyone thinks the GOP cares about rural USA and poor people....other than pandering for their vote.... So, I'm not sure the EC helped anyone, other than the GOP, frankly. So, while they got to scream and yell and protest.....the EC didn't actually HELP them....imo, of course. I don't think the anger and desperation are going anywhere, I've been typing here for some time, and elsewhere longer, a revolution will happen in our children's lifetime. Power and wealth cannot concentrate this much.

    Agree with Seth.....and I've totally flipped on this the last few years. I want a pitch framer.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Amen.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Castro's defense is mediocre? That's not my understanding....

    Not really, there are just so MANY variables that it is hard to judge managers. About the only "stat" is around bullpen usage, and getting RPs up and not using them, or something like that.....but there is almost no way to judge them that people have found. Plus, most of their work is about the culture and clubhouse, not about in game tactics. It's just that we can really only SEE the tactics. Like, Madden is probably not a very good tactician, but you don't hire him for that part of his leadership, imo.

    The bundt pan was invented in MN. MOST Of them are still made in St. Louis Park, MN at Nordicware. My wife worked there the last few years we were in MN. Family owned, made in the USA (not all of their stuff, their CFO is pushing China.....that China stuff is MUCH lower quality....).

    I don't know how you can KNOW with such certainty, that only CA and the NE will matter......but you sure are certain.
  10. Mike Sixel
    That was the plan, to symbolically break it.

    Golly tech stocks do not like this election......but my employer does so far!
  12. Mike Sixel
    good stuff.
  13. Mike Sixel
    So, if I understand, your concern is geography.....and mine is equal votes for everyone. Your posts are very absolute, as if you are certain this is a disaster, without any acknowledgement that my vote counting less isn't inherently fair at all.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Speechless. Helps ESan's value!
  15. Mike Sixel
    hey, we agree! for sure....
  16. Mike Sixel
    KLAW is doing a series, beyond his top 50 FAs, about trade options.... ESan is in the latest. He doesn't say what he could return, but he clearly thinks he's pretty valuable. Production and durability.
  17. Mike Sixel
    There are such better ways to have this conversation without the vitriol and hyperbole. Frankly, I've lost interest talking to you on this thread. You still haven't answered why MY vote should count less, because I choose to live in a populated area.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Fair, I admit, I've wanted them to get Castro for like three years now.....so that might be clouding my brain some...
  19. Mike Sixel
    Why is that good?
  20. Mike Sixel
    ah, I read 13/14 in MLB! apologies.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree that EVERY decision has to be about 2018 or 19....they need to help the pitchers they have, even learning and working with a good, veteran, catcher could help young players. I don't agree that all 25 guys need to be about "are they here"....the young players need a veteran or three (that can actually play), imo.
  22. Mike Sixel
    BTW, I think courting votes and formulating policy are two very distinct things. One can work hard to turn out the vote in populous areas, w/o ignoring policy in less populous areas.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Don't get me wrong, I'm a Garver believer......I just want an actual catcher this year that is really good at defense and framing. You know, like I want defense to matter in the OF and other positions....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I just don't think Garver is ready....what, like, 20 games at AAA? This slow pedal thru A ball, and rush thru AA/AAA thing is so backward to me.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd sign this guy: Willians Astudillo, C, 2.2 WAR http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/projecting-the-minor-league-free-agent-hitters/ To a AAA deal, with a good chance to be the 2nd catcher to start the year. Can't be worse than Centeno....
