    Hard to say.....I am highly conflicted on how I feel about the Shireen thing. But I don't know if GRRM will change his plans or not.
  2. Mike Sixel
    There is zero evidence about the innings thing being real.....and yes, he should have been up last year. But, they didn't promote any pitcher that could have really helped the bullpen last year....He should have started the May start.

    when was the last time they used that youth, as RP? I can't recall them doing it at all to start a year, or hardly even during the year.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Just let Guy Kay finish it, and write short stories in the world.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I'll even read the rest of them.....that last one slogged with a hundred pages for a character who did nothing to advance the plot at all.......

    Took pictures of a few birds in Puerto Rico...... Will try to figure them out today.

    She also has the x-wing pilot helmet, right? So, an X-wing pilot.....

    There are lots of other ways "drafts" and FA can co-exist.....but no league wants them because the workers would be paid more.

    I too hope she is not related to any main character. And, I too don't over think it too much, and just enjoy the ride w/o overthinking it. This isn't Harry Potter where no one is willing to use a damn gun, and the other schools just stop existing when their help is needed. Ugh.

    I don't even know how to react to such blasphemy, frankly.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Correct, he stepped down. We don't know what conversations took place, or didn't take place.

    Great move from a purely baseball perspective.....not so great from a human being perspective. And no, not everyone "deserves" multiple chances. These are not one time incidents.....as for Kirby, I hate him as a human being now. He clearly was a person that if he wasn't an athlete that people irrationally loved, would be disliked/hated....but athletes get passes all the time.

    The number 1 pick in the draft, who will likely be an above average to very good SS within 18 months? Hmmmmm.....yes, I'd do that. Like, if the Dodgers offered their Seager, yes.
  14. Mike Sixel
    It does seem a bit off to say Kylo killed the whole class, given how immature his powers were in that movie......

    Today is an important day BACON day.

    They need to make a decision on some point on Meyer, before he's 30......will they trust him to be a wild starter, or make him a RP? Will they live with the balls, in exchange for more SOs, or not? My prediction is that someone will have success with Alex Meyer, I just don't know if it will be the Twins or not.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand trading Kyle Gibson as a good idea. He's good, he's youngish, he's not expensive. I guess if you get a great RP, a good starting C under control for 3+ years, and a prospect, sure, I'd consider that......but that's not happening.

    My theories: 1. Baseball was stuck in the dark of ages of "there is a right way to do this" for a long time. Then they started hiring different kinds of leaders, and those people did some math, and figured out that young players were more athletic, better, and cheaper than older players. I think this is number one, a different type of leader has emerged that isn't in love with "proven veterans" and experience are needed to win. 2. They are cheaper than older players, and owners like money. 3. More international players? I don't know, but I would guess that the there are more international players, those players debut younger because they sign so young. 4. More willingness to promote players faster in the minors. 5. Teams are afraid pitchers will get hurt, so they promote them faster (especially RP) so they get value out of them before they are hurt. I've read this is true, but that doesn't make it true.

    Today is national chocolate candy day.......
  20. Mike Sixel
    Art the expense of international players.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I agree, fans and minor league players and international players will get screwed. That is inevitable.
  22. Mike Sixel
    This is a very tricky one. I'd probably do what I'd do with HC. Give every newborn money into an account that goes in the index funds, every year, and that money can be used for HC or education, or money to be taken out after some age. Not super hard to pay for if you just eliminate all the other ways we subsidize people and companies. But, I'm not sure that helps with the rising costs.......

    The cookies. I do miss my grandmother, and my mom is still around....
  24. Mike Sixel
    Why? Who is the Mets' proven starter?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Cannot wait to see him play defense.
