    He should have been up in 2014. The misuse goes back some time
  2. Mike Sixel
    They don't need more older players right now. Just admit they are rebuilding still.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Wade should be promoted soon. There is no reason for him to spend much more time in low A.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I think they did not set him up for success, given the rest and then short relief appearance, then the start. The job of any leader is to set her employees up for success. The twins, imo, did not do that in the last two weeks. I am still waiting for any sign Molitor knows what he is doing
  5. Mike Sixel
    Not one piece of this outcome surprises me. Disappoints, yes, but not surprised.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I hope these guys move up sooner, rather than later.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Why is Molitor managing a team that should be playing young players?
  8. Mike Sixel
    Well, another day, another reason I want Molitor gone. Sigh.

    Did you read the article? It wasn't just last year, it is a trend.

    While some hate the threads, some hate being told how to feel..... Buxton is not a product of marketing.....he was always considered a top pick. I think he could use some coaching, frankly.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Teachers are amazing people.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why? It is bad to use your brain and win more?
  13. Mike Sixel
    4 pages.....even the serious fans are not paying attention. I was at Fulton around inning 7....There were people streaming out of the game. This team is in trouble.
  14. Mike Sixel
    7-8 now........this is not looking good.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    The nerves displayed by Meyer and Berrios are why you call guys up before you need them. Especially I a lost season. Meyer should have been up two years ago.
  16. Mike Sixel
    There is almost nothing I like about this manager and how he handles players
  17. Mike Sixel
    Shouldn't Duffey be available out of the pen? Or is he just sitting next to Murphy doing nothing?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I endorse this move.
  19. Mike Sixel
    He was literally the worst every day player in the game last year.....I might need a few more ABs before I'm a believer......

    Your argument, if I understand correctly, is that sports should make things against the rules if they would be copied by children who feel they need to do those things to participate. If not, the rest of this post can be ignored. Professional skiers and bikers do SUPER dangerous stunts, publicly, on tv. Kids that copy those w/o proper protection and supervison get hurt all over the world. Should that be against the rules? If not, if protecting your children from things that are very likely to hurt them should not be against the rules, why should less public things be against the rules. What is the line for the types of drugs you would allow? Pain killers of all kinds, or only some? Only things administered in a doctor's office? The thing that gets lost is that there is not some hard line of what drugs are bad or good or evil or whatever......nearly every one of these is available by a prescription, and many are used by people like you and me to recover from surgery or other injuries. Why, as asked above, are some steroids ok, but not others? What is the line?
  21. Mike Sixel
    hard to understand how they have depth issues, given the hundreds of pitchers on the 40 man, and the ones just behind them that are not......* *yes, I know that's an exaggeration.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Isn't that what we are discussing, what is the line of what we want to "outlaw" and what we don't? I am going to assume you believe in some freedom......
  23. Mike Sixel
    So, no bike stunts, because they might get hurt doing what pros do? Where is your line, on what you'd outlaw for adults, so your kids don't copy them? Like I said above, I'm not big on making things illegal for adults out of fear children will copy them......
  24. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, I share this concern. But, I'm not big on banning activities for adults, that I don't want kids participating in. I'd 100% JAIL adults that provided items like this to kids, or condoned it, or whatever. Kids aren't adults, they don't technically always have a choice. But, I'm not going to ban alcohol or pot or driving or whatever, just because I don't want kids doing it. I understand that not everyone will agree with this stance. this isn't some whim stance, btw. I've thought a lot about stuff like this over the years, while watching my kids grow up, and watching parents trying to legislate protecting kids from all harm.......
  25. Mike Sixel
    But then it is their choice, isn't that what freedom is all about? If doctors say HGH is perfectly safe, we should all be taking it....would it then be ok? Is the line about health, or the line about some kind of "only hard work should matter" thing (which is not, I don't think, a moral argument). breaking rules are ethical issues, not moral issues, btw......
