    But, he didn't diss him........he flipped his bat. "dissing" is a scale, not a switch, right? IF he even did "diss" him....which I don't think he did, it wasn't "bannable", was it? I mean, if you can't celebrate that, what can you celebrate. Who did he hurt, how?

    I endorse this decision. Throw him in the pool, let him learn how to swim.

    Under, but don't pick me, I already use their competitors' product...... 15 articles, 15 teams in the AL, hmmmmmm......

    why? What, exactly, morally or ethically, was wrong? Other than someone sometime 40 years ago said it was wrong? It is entertainment, right? What is wrong, other than the pitcher deciding it was wrong? Why does he get to decide that? Why does he even care? And, the whole "this generation is ruining x*" thing is silly. Every generation changes everything. *music, baseball, art, politics, whatever.......

    I hope we have pie today. Both sons are home from college (still in MN, still in our house.....sigh)....but the one that doesn't really eat pie is having his wisdom teeth pulled today. that might be throwing off our dinner plans, no idea. Plus, we just are finding we don't like sweets as much as we used to......

    Isn't it even higher, since a HR doesn't count? Right, a HR does not count for BABIP calculations, so if you don't strike a guy out, he either is on 1-3rd, 29% of the time, or hits a HR......
  7. Mike Sixel
    That is a problem.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Where did you get the pitch count? mostly, they aren't tracked on line in ST......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Sure they can, and they will. Just like the NFL shows violent hits over and over, and fines players when they do it.

    I was sorely disappointed that Park won't be flipping his bat, that's fun to see after a home run. It's entertainment, not treaty negotiations. I'm on Harper's side all the way (and I'm hardly a young punk). In the immortal words of Sgt. Hulka, "lighten up Francis".

    thanks, love the first hand observations!

    I don't know I'm there yet........I have an amazing partner (wife, if you want to use that word), and most days are awesome. I also think it's a bad way to look at your life, always looking to the past as a better time. There are so many fun things to do out there, if we would all just stop working so much, and living in so much fear, and just enjoyed life. edit: to be clear, that is not an indictment of your question, I just choose not to live that way.

    I was just saying what the person said........not what I think or not. No idea if that was said or not.
  14. Mike Sixel
    ENTIRE draft, as in, all of the players taken by all of the teams......
  15. Mike Sixel
    ya, but you have to make that decision, maybe, before he pitches this year...... The question is, keep him, or keep Duffey, in the rotation (unless May has a real shot, then it is potentially a three way race). You can send Duffey down, but what is better, spending $500K more and have Duffey pitch, or have Nolasco pitch? That's a really hard question to answer, imo.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I just don't take anything* seriously at this point......I think pitchers are still working on hitting certain spots, new pitches, etc.......I don't think they really pitch to the situation this early in the year. *maybe park's power....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Potentially the way they calculated the average price, is what I was talking about. Look, it is calculated the same way for every team. We can question the numbers, or not, all we want. But, does anyone think the Twins aren't in the top 1/3 of prices?
  18. Mike Sixel
    That is two great draft classes, wow. At least they are no longer trying to make Bard a starter......
  19. Mike Sixel
    I do think he should have a fair competition to see who is the right SP for that last spot......and if he loses it, he should go to the bullpen and be happy his arm will be healthier when he retires, and he has more money than he can ever need.
  20. Mike Sixel
    That is correct jimmer.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I am beginning to think trump could win it all......might have to buy a bunker, and learn how to hunt.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, that is stupid, imo.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Did you go to the link he provided, that explained how they calculated the averages? That's what I would do, if I wanted to understand that part of the article.........
  24. Mike Sixel
    Not asking the government to do anything, I thought it was obvious I was talking about University Presidents, my bad.
  25. Mike Sixel
    A cheap public school is now around 20-25K all in, per year. Think about that........that is 400-500% more than I paid at UW Madison 30 years ago. 400-500%. I can guarantee you incomes haven't risen that fast.......My youngest is going to get half his tuition paid for, and still come out with 100K in debt (his choice to go to an expensive school). $100,000 dollars in debt, before he earns a single penny in a "real" job......yikes.
