    I'm glad Garver is up and having success. So, SSS, he's a great catcher, right?

    4.25 would give him around the 35th lowest ERA in the game.....among qualifiers. That seems a bit lofty to me...
  4. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't be shocked either way. I've been a huge supporter, until this year. I have serious doubts, but it's all about numbers (salary and other SP options) at this point. If he's mediocre to good the rest of the way, he's back no doubt, imo. If he reverts to what he's been more often than not, I don't know what they'll do.

    I have no idea what the right idea is, I just hope they aren't falling into the one size fits all problems of the past.....which I doubt they are.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Ya, the models are so bias!
  7. Mike Sixel
    six dollars? Man, life is cheaper there....
  8. Mike Sixel
    fair. to answer your other question, I would have used him in relief, like some other teams do with some of their pitchers, that year.
  9. Mike Sixel
    So, 1 time in how many years? Do we think shutting him down that many years ago, or not, matters now?
  10. Mike Sixel
    And the nats haven't been close since......and I was on the angst side for sure.
  11. Mike Sixel
    scoops are part of fWAR, IIRC. I thought Dave or someone said that online this year. did you look?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Definitely the same
  13. Mike Sixel
    It was an example of going young, not him specifically. Stop with the old, never was, players. Apparently that was not clear?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Another terrible, old, never was. I would love a new approach.... Like Verlander it s young player with upside. Like Slegers, for example. But why bother trying?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Correct, but I do agree, he should be plan 7-8 or so, for starter.....not plan 1-5.
  16. Mike Sixel
    No Garver. Sigh.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Actually, at least on Fangraphs writer thought the Dbacks had a good shot to surprise people. Looking at Grienke and their health issues, one can understand how that might be......people have been underestimating Grienke forever.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to Slegers. Maybe this will encourage the FO to stop ignoring the results of players already in the system..... I'd like to see Garver up. But then, that should have happened a month ago. At this point, I expect Granite and no other position player move until September. Really, really, really not a fan of how the FO has handled the bench. I'd like to see Gonsalves get a start Monday. I doubt he's "ready", but I don't think there is a better option.
  19. Mike Sixel
    He really bungled the loogy again today.
  20. Mike Sixel
    There is a real skill in inducing weak contact. Perhaps that is his skill. We'll find out more in teh next year or two.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Setting the bar at one of the perennial MVP candidate's levels seems like an awfully high bar to have to clear..... I agree, though, we don't know much about Rooker yet. I'm ok with that, given that he's been a professional baseball player for 10 weeks or so......
  22. Mike Sixel
    how is that a moot point?
  23. Mike Sixel
    that's not even close to true, actually. There are plenty of studies on this on the internet. 1 run games are fairly random, not totally, but closer than your statement implies.
  24. Mike Sixel
    You can't see how that is different in a small, family owned business, vs a very public company like a baseball team? And yes, we have very different experiences. In all 4 places I've worked over the last 30 years, people questioned moves of management. Over and over. Nearly every week in some companies. But then, I work with dozens and dozens of management types and their people.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I think the "stat guys" were saying that it was hard to predict which RPs would be good, and that they were expensive because of that, relative to expected outcomes, not that RPs were not worth signing if you could figure out which ones would be good.
