    I really don't know. Is it proof of a bad one?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Good thing they traded for Gray and Ryan ....
  3. Mike Sixel
    What was the alternative this trade deadline? There were three good starters moved. Sometimes you don't have a lot of options. I'd have been really unhappy had they done nothing.
  4. Mike Sixel
    The alternative was to add no starter.... they couldn't pay the price for Castillo. Montas had been hurt more recently. This site would have excoriated the FO for not adding a starter. But when they did, and the risk didn't work yet ... It was a good trade. You can make good decisions and still have bad outcomes. That's the reality of the universe.

    I don't understand the question. Why wouldn't it be better to make the playoffs?
  6. Mike Sixel
    I can't see how the DBs could be even worse....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Not to forget SWR, who is 21 and in AAA....
  8. Mike Sixel
    I literally have no idea what the o or d will look like. But if Bradbury isn't a sieve, I do think the o will be very good for some reason.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Duran should face the best hitters, in the 8th or 9th.
  10. Mike Sixel
    This.

    The first two Rings of Power >>>>>>>>>> House of Dragon

    That's not what regression to the mean means. It means he drops to his normal level of play, not below it to get his overall numbers to the mean. That said? I'd guess he's a bit tired at this point.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Those numbers have been posted over and over, and the bullpen is better than the kinds of starters this team has. Players can't just adjust their swing to hit an opposite field single. It just isn't that easy. Softly hit balls are MUCH more likely to be outs. If they could do that, they would. Not making an out is the prime ability of a hitter, if they could just adjust and not make outs, they would. Are you suggesting they sacrifice bunt and give away outs in the first half of the game? The stats are clear, that's a bad way to win. Very bad.

    I like your thinking, and wish I was as optimistic about Pagan as you. I agree on Dobnak, btw.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Ober gave up one run? What are you expecting?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Your post doesn't fit the narrative. It is accurate, though. So thank you. They literally took a guy they drafted when? And he looks like a legit prospect? And people post negative things, still. Thank you for posting some actual information.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'd have preferred the unknown risk with Sisk. But then, Pagan is still somehow on this roster, so it's clear the FO and I don't agree on the bullpen.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Surprised ISM was cut. Is Raeger a return man?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Proving he's certainly not underrated.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    You're arguing with Joey Votto, not me. I trust him over anyone on this board...
  21. Mike Sixel
    Players can't place the ball. Joey Votto has talked about this repeatedly when fans say, just hit the ball the other way. The ball is moving and coming at 90+miles per hour.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I keep wondering if Balazovich is in his head, like Rick Ankiel. Martin is the biggest bummer for me. I really thought he was Arraez with speed and defense. I hope he goes back to getting hits and stops thinking about power.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I just don't understand how he's on the roster. I'm one of the FOs biggest defenders.... And I don't get it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Concur
  25. Mike Sixel
    I don't mind the politics at all....but if that's the emphasis, they need better, more interesting, characters. So far? Meh.
