    We need more threads about this for sure.

    There's no good long run to Covid..... This is why they traded for Paddack.....they have ONE guy in AAA left at this point.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Which team? Not the Dodgers. Not the Yankees (they didn't sign him, traded for IKF). He's not re-signing in Milwaukee. Certainly not Houston. Atlanta? Nope. The Mets....who would you even want? Go look at the best teams, all of whom passed on signing him, and their farm systems, and tell me who would even trade for him, after not signing him only for money.
  4. Mike Sixel
    That last part is what I've argued for several years now. Make a huge deal of the first season winner, and then have everyone in the second season. But for some reason, people think the post season is a real indicator of "best". Despite all the evidence.
  5. Mike Sixel
    And there are STILL people that want to bench Kepler for Lewis or others (and yes, saw this just two days ago).
  6. Mike Sixel
    This is why they traded for Paddock and signed two guys. They are down to their last decent option, in May.
  7. Mike Sixel
    If they are a playoff team, three months of CC. And, you are 100% wrong on your last statement. Or, are you suggesting whomever they trade him to is incompetent, since they'd be acquiring him for 3 months? I mean, what can you expect to get for a guy that it is incompetent to keep?
  8. Mike Sixel
    If they make the playoffs three out of four years, how can you not? I'm not 100%, but they are doing better than I thought this year for sure.
  9. Mike Sixel
    And once again, the new manager gets the awful bullpen decisions right....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Has he even played a year in the majors?
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm talking about this game. I didn't fail to do anything.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Good thing they fired Baldelli, because the new manager pulled all the right strings yesterday...
  13. Mike Sixel
    Joey Votto has stated over and over that we have no idea how hard it is to even make contact, let alone direct the ball. I trust him.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I hate the idea of weakening a playoff team. The thought is really, really, weird. I don't get this at all.
  15. Mike Sixel
    No it's not stupid. It's his job.
  16. Mike Sixel
    There's no such thing as a jinx. It's his job to talk about the players and game. He should mention that.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm failing to understand why Gordon is out there, and not celestino.
  18. Mike Sixel
    That Snyder rip is great, btw.
  19. Mike Sixel
    playoffs 2 of last three years, leading the division this year when almost no one thought they would. 100% of the starting pitching is their creation. I guess we can ignore trading for Ryan? Or Celestino? Or Sanchez (who is much better here than NY the last couple years). Or Archer. Or signing CC? 3B, SS, 1B? Who either acquired or developed those players? Who extended Buxton for "nothing" relative to MLB salaries? but sure, let's only compare them to the three best teams in the league, and ignore they have one of the 8 best records in the game right now.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I mean, it is a no brainer to do this, so I expect it not to happen for a very long time. Asking hard core fans what they love about MLB isn't going to get a result that gets more people in the stands, or eyes on the tv (when you can actually watch a game).
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'd be working hard to get Montas right now. I see no reason at all to trade for a first baseman. Not with Arraez there. 3B is also a need, but Lewis could be there rather than give up assets to get one (plus, who?). Obviously, near the deadline (assuming they don't collapse), they'll be getting a RP, I'd guess.
  22. Mike Sixel
    If Maeda comes back, the bullpen is much better. That would be huge.
  23. Mike Sixel
    This.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Larnach should always be in the lineup. I'm not sure your point on him. I do question the others.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Given how thin the starters are starting to look, it is easy to understand why they did this. The guy got hurt. Anyone claiming to know he'd get hurt is not being truthful. I didn't love the trade, but I understood. They are on pace to win the division for the third time in four years. Claiming they don't have any idea what they are doing seems odd.
