    Your auto correct made it "racist" too.....I had to edit my post twice. sigh. I share your skepticism that this will stop actual rapists........
  2. Mike Sixel
    I've seen both on this thread....that they are, and are not. but you'd expect a few more "cheap" signings, which would surely nudge them over, unless I'm misunderstanding something.....which is not unlikely.
  3. Mike Sixel
    that we agree on. Waaaaaaaaay too much leeway for men on campus. I truly am baffled by it.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Nope, I don't understand. He is more likely to product an out than many of the other relievers, so I'd expect him to be in the game. If they won't use him there, they are wasting valuable resources.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I thought they were over this year.......w/o a trade, and that's with only signing 1 player.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I don't like the after effect of being tossed out for being a rapist.......but isn't a college/university pretty much able to discriminate, other than against protected classes? Doesn't it kind of get to choose it's students? So, is it the thrown out part that is wrong/bad/evil, or the effect of labeling someone a rapist that is the issue? Or both? btw, I'm not a fan of this, but I'm also not 100% against it just yet.....and I have two sons early in their college careers, this is something they need to think about.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Weird, I keep coming here expecting to see transactions, as the time/date stamp moves..... Stop it already, please.
  8. Mike Sixel
    or maybe that is auto correct, and not some kind of dis? Or a typo, or something? Why assume the worst?
  9. Mike Sixel
    why not? And if not, he shouldn't be in the pen......
  10. Mike Sixel
    yes, the SB are looking nice, and yes, he seems to have adjusted well. It sure would be nice to have Trea Turner now, and the next 2 years, but I still think Gordon can be better than him.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    this we agree on for sure......
  12. Mike Sixel
    What's the difference?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Should have? He gave up 4. Are we not going to count lucky hits anymore, or lucky outs? I do agree, the bullpen (or the manager's confidence/choices) needs to change.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Hunter is getting worse and worse as the year goes on. Adrenaline, or whatever it was early, only carries you so far. He needs something.....maybe some rest. IMO, Santana should go to AAA or AA (Polanco to the other), and Arcia should come up. Arcia should move back to RF, and Hunter should rest some. You can rotate Hunter, Arcia, Rosario in the OF, and rest Plouffe a day a week and have Hunter or Arcia DH that day...... There is room for all the actual decent hitters to be on this roster. Santana, Robinson, Escobar, Nunez? Only three of those* should be on any roster. *well, maybe none of them should be, but you shouldn't have 4.......
  15. Mike Sixel
    Except he did pitch the 8th....... that's like saying "Mauer hit a double in the first, I'll take that anytime, even if he did strikeout the next 5 ABS".
  16. Mike Sixel
    I think, like most teams, they are in a holding pattern right now........ I'd not deal any of: Buxton Sano Berrios Plouffe* Dozier Gibson Everyone else, for the right price, I'd consider. *would require a huge overpay by the other side
  17. Mike Sixel
    He gave up 4 runs.......that's.....mediocre. He was in the game, you can't say "it wouldn't have happened if.....". It did happen. that said, FREE TREVOR MAY....if he's in the pen, he should be in there for the 8th, imo.
  18. Mike Sixel
    6 errors! Wowzer. No way he can be called up, what do you tell the pitchers if you do that?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Promote him already.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I have some hope still......
  21. Mike Sixel
    It is true, the sacrifice increases the odds of 1 run scoring.......I agree with the poster above, they were playing not to lose. If he really wasn't using his best pitch, out of fear of a passed ball......that is awful strategy.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Could be. We won't know until he gets a shot, though.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Second. Not that hard a decision for me. Mauer is the one that needs to DROP in the order.
  24. Mike Sixel
    A sacrifice has a 99% chance of being an out.....the math is simple. It is all over the internet. It decreases your odds of scoring multiple runs. Turned out, they needed 5, not 1-2........ I'm not saying he's a good or bad manager, but this seems like the right thread to discuss his decisions. And the May thing is baffling. They "bench" one of their best pitchers, to keep Pelfrey, and then DON'T USE said pitcher in important situations? Mind. Boggling.
  25. Mike Sixel
    May wasn't in there? Uhhhhhh?
