    The Giants won, partially, because they played matchups better than anyone....in other words, not consistent lineups.
  2. Mike Sixel
    They signed who was supposed to be one of the better SS, and he failed. NO ONE could have predicted he'd be that bad. Also, their superstar SS in the minors got hurt, no one could have predicted that. Every AA/AAA prospect projected to be good in the majors this year, but Ober, got hurt. Sometimes it isn't anyone's fault......

    Such a ridiculous, privileged,, statement. The main reason people can't afford stuff is that pay goes up more slowly than expenses. Not budgeting. They aren't paid enough. The data is literally all over the internet that it isn't budgeting. Not even close. Not even if you use the most powerful telescope in the world to look at it.

    Martin is your starting LF or CF (if Buxton is dealt) by May something. That means Miranda is likely not playing the LF at all. The Twins are flush with OF....I'd be really surprised if they all get hurt/stink, and Miranda plays out there. I doubt they deal Donaldson at this point, but if they do, Miranda is likely at 3B to open the year, imo. Most likely he's in AAA to start the year, and if someone gets hurt at 3B/2B/1B/DH, he might come up. I think he's traded, not that I would necessarily do that, btw.....but they NEED a veteran starting pitcher or two.....

    Looking forward to Zimmer being fired. Not soon enough.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Then you aren't actually reading the stories out there.
  7. Mike Sixel
    What? Jeffers is nearly top ten in home runs among catchers....I don't know what people expect out of first year players, but I don't see how anyone doesn't think he has a ton of value. He's going to put up over 1 war this year....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Very nicely done! Hopefully next year I get to pay some artists for some KS art.....we'll see.
  9. Mike Sixel
    A great list of players......probably as deep in potential starters as this system has been in some time. Health....next year we ant health.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Why are they trading him?
  11. Mike Sixel
    With certainty. Like most successful teams these days..... They just don't have the talent this year, with the injuries and trades, and lack of depth.
  12. Mike Sixel
    We just finished season 1 of Shadow and Bone. I liked it. Not love.....like. The ensemble of characters is quite good and mostly believable, even if the heroine is annoying at times (and, frankly, isn't the most interesting character). Of course, it is season 1, and isn't a finished story at all. And, it is fantasy, so there are predictable moments if you've read much.....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Or his lack of defense and position other than DH, which is what most people here are saying.....Where does he play next year? With Sano, Garver, Donaldson, Arraeaz, and Kiriloff and maybe Larnach (who is younger and can almost play OF) and maybe Martin or Lewis in the OF? Or Celestino? The issue is simple....they have a ton of bat first (only?) guys. There isn't room for all of them on the roster, esp. if you want Martin and/or Miranda up next year taking up LF and 3B.
  14. Mike Sixel
    There really should be a Long season champion, and a short season champion. With all new schedules, divisions, and short season schedules.....but that ain't' coming....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs has an article showing that it doesn't matter if you are Hot or Not going into the post season.....if you are into looking at numbers and facts and history and stuff....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Meh, not what I care about, but I get it. I don't wish injury on anyone, but if he is an awful player this year, I'll be marginally happier.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Pretty sure you can stream a cast recreation online. I started once, the production quality was not good. Back from decades ago and the BBC
  18. Mike Sixel
    I hope he goes out worse. Much.
  19. Mike Sixel
    We just watched the first two late last night. It is very pretty. It is well written and acted. I really like it, but I'm guessing it is too much a thinker for the masses. And, neither my wife nor I seem to recall the books much, so we can't comment on the differences, other than obviously women play an actual role.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Wade can play some defense. Rooker cannot. If he had any chance on defense, he'd start in left next year. But I think that is Gordon, Martin, Larnach, Celestino territory next year. I don't know where he plays much next year, assuming kiriloff is healthy at all ... Which seems like a big assumption.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Glad I stopped caring..... Sorry to those that do
  22. Mike Sixel
    Great game by Cousins. Still have no idea what this team is
  23. Mike Sixel
    A lot less room in right? Also, I think Gordon might be the starting LFer next year....so more time in left makes sense.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Great write up!
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious who you think is playing out of position.
