    Omg. This can't be serious. Wow. Just. Wow
  2. Mike Sixel
    Sigh.
  3. Mike Sixel
    What the heck are they doing with Martin? Is he a SS, LF? Now second? I clearly have no idea what the plan is.
  4. Mike Sixel
    apparently he has T rex like arms.....but all he did was be great in college....

    I'm guessing Conforto isn't signed because he's not really healthy, or some team would have signed him by now. https://www.si.com/mlb/mets/news/ex-mets-outfielder-michael-conforto-not-close-to-signing-with-a-team#

    At some point you have to start a rookie......and trust your process. I love how people have such certainty over a guy that has less than a few hundred ABs in the majors (not that you are wrong or right, got no idea).
  7. Mike Sixel
    At what point in the off season should they have signed a LFer, and assumed AK would be hurt and Larnach wouldn't hit? I mean, did you want them to spend their resources on a LFer? Big picture plan is likely Larnach / Lewis / Martin / other draft pick/signee.
  8. Mike Sixel
    AK is hurt, and Larnach hasn't hit somehow......what exactly do you think is realistic here? Also, I think Celestino could be a 2+ WAR player and is being underestimated, but that's a different topic.
  9. Mike Sixel
    If I had a child that needed that much care, and I had that much money, I know where I'd be.......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Certainly possible. I thought Sano would be good to start the year this year......or AK would be there and Celestino/Larnach would be in LF....shows what I know.
  11. Mike Sixel
    How many starting Lfers that are good do you think most MLB teams have on their 40 man? The Twins have Kiriloff (hurt), Celestino (likely good) and Gordon on the roster. They have Larnach and maybe Lewis and Martin in AA and AAA. They have a few other guys that might be good, or not, in AA and AAA. They were, imo rightly, expecting one or both of AK and Larnach to be that LFer last year and this year. Given their pedigree, that seemed like a decent bet.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Same. Get another second. Pick D then D and WR or Ol or D again.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Not sure what that has to do with the post I was responding to, nor is that Baldelli's decision, I'd guess.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I wasn't only talking OF, but I agree..... Really, the FO added four starting pitchers, a superstar SS, replaced their 3B with a good (not great) one, replaced a good defensive catcher who couldn't hit with who knows what (but used to be good), signed Buxton. Other than RP, what wasn't handled, which was my question. They have OFers in the minors, they have prospect SP if the vets fail. I don't love all the decisions, but some posters seem to think they did nothing to make the team better.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    They have Larnach, Martin, Lewis, Miranda and maybe 1-2 others in the minors. They hoped, I'm sure, Larnach would make the roster...... I agree, Rodriguez was called up, and he or Jax will go down for an OFer. What issues would you want addressed (other than RP)?
  16. Mike Sixel
    Preach. We agree on this. 100%.
  17. Mike Sixel
    What would you do differently, other than using Paddack one less inning?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm amused at the embarrassing comments. I think it is awesome that Kershaw as Kershaw today. It is great for baseball to have performances like that (and I'd have left him in if he wanted). They got outplayed. Nothing more or less than that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    You gave up on a highly rated show before finishing 1 episode? I'm trying hard not to judge you As for your Lasso opinion, I get it, but strongly disagree.
  20. Mike Sixel
    So do I, and I have no idea why they rested him today......
  21. Mike Sixel
    Who would you start at SS when CC needs a day off? Because he isn't playing 162 games. Who would you start in CF when Buxton needs a day off, on a day when your starting LF was put on the injured list that morning? Who would you start at catcher when Jeffers needs a day off?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Which is why I said I'd have left him in if he wanted.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Of course, an actual MLB pitcher tweeted out this had nothing to do with modern baseball, that Kershaw wasn't ready for this given the short spring training.
  24. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, if he wanted to stay in, I'd have left him in.
  25. Mike Sixel
    From his catcher today: Mike DiGiovanna @MikeDiGiovanna #Dodgers C Austin Barnes on Clayton Kershaw being pulled from PG: "Later in the season, when he's a little more built up, I think he goes out there, but I think that's the right call, taking him out there. It was the right move, for sure. I think he was getting a little tired."
