    Once again....slow playing at the low levels, I don't get it. Why do they keep doing this?
  2. Mike Sixel
    yes, it was good. Just because the FO followed that up with mistakes does not make the actions of the players bad. I get what people are saying....and I get the mistrust of this FO (I never wanted TR back), but it is always good when your players play well.

    I love grilled or otherwise caramelized onions. Love them.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Uh, it's always good when your players play well. I don't understand the question. I have no idea what this FO will do, either way.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Classy tweet. Good luck to him. I feel ready bad for him. It sucks being injured.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Great googly moogly.....don't mix Lovecraft into ASoIF....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Dang, now you guys have me down a rat hole trying to remember all this stuff.....stupid internet and it's hundreds* of pages on GoT.... *understatement....
  8. Mike Sixel
    To be clear.....I hated the Hardy deal. 100% hated it. And, trading Dozier would be different....but not totally. The main reason you'd deal Dozier right now is to give Polanco a shot.....because no one is going to give you a big return for him, imo.
  9. Mike Sixel
    kind of like giving away Dozier to make room for Polanco.

    I agree, i would have started Duffey in the rotation, based on last year. However, I would have also had May in the rotation, and Gibson, and Santana, and Hughes, and Nolasco....so, um, I have a problem here..... However, I don't believe in Duffey, so he'd have a very short leash as a starter.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Meh, killing a ranger here and there, North of a 1000 foot wall, is hardly the stuff of nightmares, imo. I think the books are underselling that part of the story (so we can read 1000* pages about a guy that dies the moment he sees a dragon......). *slight exaggeration, I'm sure.........
  12. Mike Sixel
    Duffey is best served as a RP, imo. May may or not be a starter. Both should move to the other part of the staff, and we should see what happens.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Which of these is a natural talent, vs a skill that can really be taught/improved on? Pitch recognition Patience Ability to hit to the opposite field (or pull it) as dictated by location I really don't know. Are there examples of guys striking out this much, then becoming good?
  14. Mike Sixel
    I would take the catcher.....he's in an elite conference and he mashes the ball. Oh, and he's a catcher.* *a lot can change in a year....but that's where my head is now.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Seth thinks he's getting a short vacation since he participated in the ASG. Now, is that true of others that participated? I am not sure.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think the results speak for themselves, something is not quite right. My guess is that it is a combination of things, not any one thing. The main point of the OP is right on, though. No matter how highly a guy is ranked, we just don't know until they succeed or fail.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea how you all remember things from the books. I am completely unable to do that.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Is that where Varys went? Dorne? Brock, that's fair on Dorne. To the earlier point on the thread....it's just another place, far away, that is like a string that was pulled and is now not part of the story.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Or, they are killing time like with Arya.....I hope not.....and I think not. I don't know, a fleet of ships can sail from continent to continent, making a long stop on the way, and the WW can't find and get to Bran? The whole timeline seems messed up, story to story, at least to me. I do also consider it a plus that we don't know what Bran can do, or the WWs can do, I agree. More vague hints would be good, imo. I don't need the WW every week, but a bit more would be nice. Is Dorne pretty much just not relevant now? It could be such an interesting story.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Has any team ever traded away 4 guys from their MLB team at deadline? Four seems like a lot.
  21. Mike Sixel
    No way, I'd rather put that money on the lottery at this point.....which I realize is irrational, btw.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd guess Wade spends the rest of the year in FTM.....I don't really see anyone on this list moving up another level this year, unless there is an injury, or a pitcher comes up a level for a spot appearance or some bullpen time.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The key part in this whole issue is that it is complicated........and requires a bit more nuance than "all x type of people are evil". Alas, nuance is not something many USAians are all that interested in.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but still hard to understand what Bran will do, other than warg into a dragon. Which, I guess I would want to prevent, if I was them. Seems like a lot of time has passed since Hardhome, though.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Congrats! Good luck to all of them.
