    A couple days in Oslo to get over the flight, a couple in Bergen, a few on a boat to the fjords and to the Lofoten islands, five there, including golfing in the Arctic circle.
  2. Mike Sixel
    That's the literal definition of sunk cost. I'm not expecting them to do anything, not sure how to make that more clear. I'm saying what I'd do.
  3. Mike Sixel
    .280? I don't think you have any idea there......14 qualified outfielders (including cf) have that high an average right now. 14. Total.
  4. Mike Sixel
    They are spending the money either way.....ownership doesnt care if they add 500K to the payroll.. There is no evidence this ownership group or FO is cheap. They have their highest payroll ever, and just signed CC to a massive deal.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Ya, catching isn't about more prospects at this point, most likely, but that they need someone to catch at the lower levels.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Again, we agree. I have no interest in Keuchel, but I'm not the FO that signed him.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Guess I was wrong on catcher in the first three picks. No shocker there....that I was wrong, I mean. What do I know?
  8. Mike Sixel
    What difference does the money make? If htey call up a rookie, they are adding less than half a million to the payroll. I don't think money has anything to do with this at all.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I'm not either....I was pointing out the only reason it would make sense.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I thought he was clear it would be Gallo and/or Kepler. No one that understands positions is saying send down Miranda and call up an OFer......that makes zero sense.
  11. Mike Sixel
    None of those are on the MLB roster which I thought was clear, but I guess not. And, Larnach and Wallner are sitting in AAA while Gallo produces the 26th worst fWAR among LFers.....so, they must not love them much. Not to mention 3 bad years from Kepler. Celestino might or might not be ready next year, but again, we have no idea if he can hit MLB pitching. Gordon is, at best, a backup.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Another college pitcher, sr.....no real shock.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Too bad you can 't filter out HS kids from the MLB draft tracker....as I can't see any of them being taken at this point...
  14. Mike Sixel
    100% they take one in the next three picks, IMO.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Not to mention they have zero OFers on the roster for next year, and need data on Wallner and Larnach (if they don't believe in them, trade them while someone else might).
  16. Mike Sixel
    Plus it stresses the bullpen. The only reason this would make any sense is if they want to rest Ober, given his lack of innings pitched the last few years (or to trade Gray, which I don't think this FO is selling).
  17. Mike Sixel
    I doubt a couple days rest fixes years of not hitting by the three starting OFers.....and Miranda clearly hasn't fixed his problems from last year.
  18. Mike Sixel
    People have named them all over this site. You've poo pooed all of them. Which is a fine opinion, but don't pretend people haven't named names.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Apparently that was either ornamental onions, or one leek and ?. In any event, we aren't eating that part of what I pulled. OTOH, a decent amount of potatoes from the small plants, there is one large one left that isn't dead yet. All the potatoes are "I thought I got all those" so they are bonus potatoes (other than taking up that part of the garden).
  20. Mike Sixel
    I should also dig up my garlic, and some potatoes. tttyl.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm not buying unless they are fixing the O......you can't score 2 or less runs in 40% of your games and expect to win any playoff games. So, no to all these unless it is the third thing they do.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd be for this, but I think the price will be too high. But it sure would help the team until Lewis returns, at which point what do you do with Lewis, if he refuses to play CF (sure would be nice to have him there instead of Taylor). That's a lot more runs if those two things happen...... Miranda and a corner OF from AAA and a middling prospect? IF they can get Lewis to move to the OF, I do that all day.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I assume you mean trading Arreaz......

    Started eating the smaller tomatoes this week. I'm guessing the first big ones will ripen while we are in Norway at the beginning of August. The grape plant looks like it could feed all of Oregon. I'm curious if they will all taste good. So many grapes. The potatoes that surprising were there again? I've only pulled up one plant, and the potatoes were tiny. Likely eating them tonight (when I pull up another plant or two). The peas failed this year. They look like they've failed in every garden I've seen on walks at at neighbors. No idea what's up with that. I think I accidentally killed our red poppy plant. Sigh.

    I love that these guys come here for this. Also, great that he's talked to Lopez.
