    Except you can use Rochester to house your 13th pitcher. They also have a pitcher that has pitched 1 time in 10 days. So, I'm not sure the argument for a 13th pitcher is all that strong.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I've already stated that the tv show (according to them) and the books are on different timelines.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    As leader at the wall.....that was the discussion, how do the Maesters not know this, if every Lord in the North does? Such a boring topic compared to making up wacky theories.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I found at least 2 sites saying that it is 3 years from Jon taking over until now (for the tv show). I don't know if your time line is correct, or not, for the books, I am trying to do SOME work today....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe people leaving Stewart unprotected, for some of these other players.
  6. Mike Sixel
    This would be a great argument, on a team that used PHers and pinch runners well, and if Santana wasn't a terrible base stealer somehow. I am sympathetic to this, but I'm not sure it is how he is best used here. Maybe that changes as the year goes on, we'll see.
  7. Mike Sixel
    That's my hope.....that they make it that far...... That said, how many Northerners will be in their army then? Will we see episodes of Jon and the Brotherhood protecting the fleeing masses, only to have them come to someplace "safe" and make their stand? Why would the white walkers not spread out all over the North (like good tacticians) and mass up as many zombies as possible? Maybe there aren't enough leaders to do that? Either way, imo, if they don't make it South a long way, they weren't really ever much of a threat.

    What's a land line* *we got rid of our's years ago.....we almost had to get one so my wife could fax from home (running a new business from there), but we decided if she needs to fax she can spend the big bucks at a store once a quarter....
  9. Mike Sixel
    I hope the wall falls with 4-5 episodes to go....and the white walkers are a real threat to the continent....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Ya.....and not sure it adds much to the story, but ya, not a biggie. I wonder what Sam will find, frankly, that matters. He must leave, "soon", since he is carrying one of the few weapons (other than fire) that can hurt the white walkers. Otherwise, just another dead end story, maybe.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I would probably not protect Burdi. Hasn't stayed healthy, and is a RP..... I would not protect Dozier, and roll the die that Polanco can play 2B. ZERO percent chance I leave Stewart unprotected, especially for any RP.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Or, they might take players they feel they can later trade, so that they have a better understanding of what they need......I think they'd take some high upside guys, but also guys they can trade in a year or two. Actually, if well done....you could build an A's like time, a team with few/no black holes, then buy the top FAs in a year or so (say, 3).....what could you do with that team, how fast?
  13. Mike Sixel
    didn't pretty much every lord in the North know Jon was the commander? Or am I not remembering correctly? If so, you'd think maybe their Maesters would mention it to the Citadel. If it had been a year, sure. If no one in the North knew, sure. But, I'm not buying it. Too long, and too many people know.
  14. Mike Sixel
    It might have been creative to actually let Arcia play.....but yes, Brock, in context it is less damning....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmm.....so we think it isn't time travel, that months or YEARS have passed......and no one knows what is happening on the Wall? I find that hard to believe. Not impossible, but hard. How many years from Jon taking over until now have passed? 3 at least, maybe 5.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I've been wanting to type this for weeks.......the use of "of" instead of "have" has really been getting to me.
  17. Mike Sixel
    This.....this is what AAA and plane tickets are for. But, they have never run that way. I wish they would. I agree with both side, but "read" me out...... The FO messed up, imo, in the past. Just like they are with Polanco, wasting options and not giving a young player a real chance in lost seasons. I would argue that never PHing for Suzuki, and giving a young player inconsistent playing time is a bad development process. It's ok to disagree, but do you really think giving a guy an AB here and there is good process? So, yes, they messed up completely in the past. Also, Park, wow, nice signing so far....and, he's 29, try not to call him young anymore. BUT.....as pointed out above, the question is, what do you do now? I can understand the argument that he does not have a spot on this roster. I don't agree, but I can understand it. I really don't think he fits whatever it is Molitor and Ryan are looking for. That's about the only good explanation for how they've "used" him the last 2+ years. Me? I would have sent down a RP, and used plane tickets and Rochester if someone needed a break.....or sent Park to AAA. But, I think there is a lot of hyperbole on both sides here......shocking, I know.

    This post begs for a LOVE button......
  19. Mike Sixel
    Why would Milwaukee do that?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Other than the whole having to drive thru downtown, in traffic, and stuff....sure.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Guess I need to find that statue!
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hey, I get that..... But, I am not the only person who wonders how all those ships sailed around a Continent that fast....or how Varys got there and back again (couldn't help myself, there)..... I have decided it bothers me much more that the Maesters, who seem to know everything, had no idea what was going on at Castle Black....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Doh....right. I am sure he is a Targ, just spit balling random thoughts
  24. Mike Sixel
    See, I don't know if Jon will marry a blood relative, not how he was raised. Plus, the damn whispering part....are we SURE he's a Targ? Is it possible he is actually Robert's son? Or, someone else's? All we KNOW is he came out of a Stark woman....we don't KNOW the father. BTW, we never saw the Blackfish's body......who reported him dead, a Lannister, or a Tulley?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Ya, that was well written....
