    My goal posts have never moved. Last year was a fluke, probably. If they don't win 81 games this year, how many years does the team have to be bad for it to matter? For me, given the lack of playoff wins in his previous tenure, that time has passed. For you, it has not. That's a difference in how we measure success over time, not that most of us on the other side have moved goal posts.

    Cash is king.

    To be clear, I don't think the trades made by the Smith regime were good.....I'm not defending Smith, I'm questioning the love for Ryan-led regimes outcomes produced.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I assume they just let you in, free, so that maybe someone would buy a beer and they'd make some money......
  5. Mike Sixel
    The argument made was that Ryan inherited a wasteland of nothingness. I am merely pointing out that is 100% not true. The Smith-led teams were bad because the players drafted before he got there were bad. The GM is the leader of the whole baseball org. If they aren't winning, that's on him, just like the President of a company is judged on profits.

    I thought they'd win 2 of these three........oh well. And, night time game threads are much more fun.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    That's 9 current major league players, in 4 years. One of whom is a supposed super star (I still think Sano will be).
  8. Mike Sixel
    Michael Tonkin....
  9. Mike Sixel
    My phone says Escobar threw a guy out....is that right? Like, on the fly and everything?
  10. Mike Sixel
    I think Rosario was also acquired during his time......and Aaron Hicks.....and Chris Herrmann...
  11. Mike Sixel
    i'd like this, but that would be like liking my own, earlier, post.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I don't know, they've migrated from SO to ground out.....I see lots of hits coming next series. Lots of them.
  13. Mike Sixel
    in fairness, both "hits" were ground balls......
  14. Mike Sixel
    Nice that the question was answered.......not necessarily the answer.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Fair enough, Seth. It's hard to shake a perception with new data......If Gordon is great, I'd like him promoted this year. I think he'll be great, and therefore, I'd like him promoted this year. That's all that first post meant.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Is that true? I mean, it is a new team every year, and while some players come and go during a year, most teams stay about the same, I think. Are you saying there is no predictive value to how a new team starts a new year, compared to what happens at a random time of year? It's just a coincidence that no team that lost it's first 8 won more than 85 games?
  17. Mike Sixel
    It appears that May is not the closer. At least one question was answered today. That's nice.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Ya, he has to give Abad a day off here and there. There are other pitchers.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Sigh. Alas.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I can't stop watching that gif......
  21. Mike Sixel
    3 run, game winning HR, here we come....
  22. Mike Sixel
    So, Sano, Polanco, Kepler were leaving the cupboard bare? Huh.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I have said the same thing, mostly.......a math guy, who believes in culture, and am wondering just how important Hunter is/was....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I stand by my statement. there is a zero percent chance of 0-28. Zero.
  25. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, they turned Fuld into Milone. That's a pretty good deal.
