    Is anyone going to ask the FO why Belisle has a job, and when he says mentor, follow up with "which young pitchers are actually on the roster" and ask what the other 6 - 8 veterans are doing?
  2. Mike Sixel
    so what is he accountable for then?

    Gameday said sacrifice and error.....I'm cool with bunting for hits, to be clear...
  4. Mike Sixel
    Did they really sacrifice bunt in front of JO? Or was that an attempt at a hit?

    IMO, hiring someone to lead a MLB team that had never managed before was a mistake. Leading a large group of people is not something you just pick up w/o any practice.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I don't think you and I are going to agree on this. No biggie.
  7. Mike Sixel
    He shouldn't have. Professional scouts rip college coaches that do this left and right. Teams stay away from drafting pitchers whose coaches do this. Certain schools have seen their pitchers go later in drafts because is how they treat them.

    I guess demoting Romero isn't about innings limits....

    Golly that intentional walk was stupid. Amazingly, fire the manager now, stupid.

    because getting something for Dozier, or Rodney or Escobar or any other FA is better than nothing, and you can get lucky. Or, they can be used as part of packages. I'm not trading anyone under control past 2019, and probably not anyone not a FA this year, but I'd listen on Reed (not sure who else is a FA after 19 other than Castro). they don't have a competitive team, imo. Not tearing down when they could have was a mistake. Standing pat for a few extra moments of fun this summer doesn't help this team in 19 or beyond, and, imo, 18 is gone.

    I see zero chance Mauer is dealt. And, I don't think many people here will be excited about the trade returns they do get, if any, from trades. Unless they bundle a couple players together, I see ok prospects coming back.

    people have used phrases like lazy and doesn't care....among other things. I think that's the part that some of us push back on.
  13. Mike Sixel
    this didn't age well...
  14. Mike Sixel
    And Cleveland has to play something like 5-7 games under the rest of the way.....Or the West Coast teams fighting for the WC need to all three collapse.
  15. Mike Sixel
    that last sentence is very unfair.....I'd say that the FO needs to be realistic at this point, and get what they can for guys that won't be here next year or the year after. It's not about not trying, it's about being realistic. Businesses don't run on hope.
  16. Mike Sixel
    they are doing it here, and we've thought about it....
  17. Mike Sixel
    team keeps getting older, while the rest of the league gets younger.....Matt Belisle....
  18. Mike Sixel
    they don't have a "realistic" shot, they have a tiny, squint and you can almost see it, shot. Nothing about this roster is realistic in terms of being a playoff team. They should sell or DFA: Rodney Lynn Duke Dozier Escobar (or sign him, not just hold and do nothing) Morrison Grossman I'd consider dealing Reed Odorizzi Did I miss anyone not nailed down? I do NOT bring back Mauer Santana Dozier Morrison Odiorizzi

    heh, I put some back in last week....not worried, I don't need it right now (that's actually cash in my self directed IRA....). and, that stock will bounce back, just wouldn't bet on anything making money short term right now....though with the volatility, if you guess right, it's money!
  20. Mike Sixel
    Good thing, they don't have much else to trade....
  21. Mike Sixel
    For those of you who want an idea.... Shopify has plummeted the last few days. I'd consider it on sale..... Not that this is advice....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I take it back, I don't think I'm ready to demote Kepler. But I am ready to cut Grossman, and see what Wade can do. Or Morrison, either one, or both. Neither is part of the future.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I might demote Kepler also at this point. Promote Wade and give him and Cave shots.... See what you have. This whole thing is a real downer.
  24. Mike Sixel
    true, but I doubt Duke and Reed and Gibson and Lynn and Ordorizzi and others I'm forgetting need mentoring..... There just aren't that many inexperienced, or even young, players on this roster.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'll give Westworld one more season, but it's close to losing me. At least the characters aren't as stupid as on Man in the High Castle, which I gave up on.
