    I did NOT have Tortuga and Cave hitting HR on my bingo card.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I said HOPE.....but, ya.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Shocker that he's suddenly ready. Truly. He should play, and play every day. I'm not sure what to make of Gordon, but I'm hoping he's at least a good defensive backup.
  4. Mike Sixel
    As opposed to Jake Cave?
  5. Mike Sixel
    sometimes the manager does....and they still don't make the play. Why is that so hard to believe?
  6. Mike Sixel
    There is a massive difference between "Rocco is bad at his job" and "Those two plays weren't his fault". Massive.
  7. Mike Sixel
    You only have to read a few posts up to see he gets little credit for the last two years....somehow. Really, all I see on this board is that the players won the last two years, despite Rocco, so I don't know what you are reading.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    And.....they took him out yesterday, right?
  9. Mike Sixel
    Two great years don't count....but a few bad weeks do?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Do we know number 1 is true non-publicly? Because most leaders say to handle that non-publicly. no, they aren't coddled. Hitting the other way is not good strategy. Not even a little (other than the 9th or later, and even then...) Why do you expect to hear about discipline, publicly?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Didn't they win the division the last two years?
  12. Mike Sixel
    95% of the time? More like 99%, given fielding stats, higher, even.....but yes, I don't get that decision. I also did not like the pinch runner decision. I endorsed starting the 10th with Colome, but I didn't understand leaving him in after the 2 walks......but I can squint and understand it. But, really, they lost because they couldn't pitch or field simple plays, something not on the manager at all.
  13. Mike Sixel
    3 weeks of data to decide if you should bench Sano (who has proven to be a good, if not great, hitter)? What is 3 weeks going to really tell anyone? Kepler is a decent to good RF overall. Sano is a good to great hitter, he's likely too young to fall off the earth already. That leaves Kiriloff, Lanarch, Rooker to test among.....and it isn't any contest for who is the least likely to be good player, Rooker. So, call up either Kiriloff or Lanarch and put them in LF for the year unless they stink it up for 6 weeks or more.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    So if Eddie was here, the relief pitchers would pitch better?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Rooker will never be as good as Sano. Not even close. I doubt he's ever a long term starter anywhere. Rooker might not be as good as Cave.
  16. Mike Sixel
    This. Thank you
  17. Mike Sixel
    Rocco can only put out the RPs he's given......and, Colome got two routine ground balls. He did his job (not well, but it should have been well enough).
  18. Mike Sixel
    with no alcohol.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I don't agree at all. This is why they brought Colome in..... I did NOT like pinch running for Donaldson though, I agree on that one being a bad decision.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Just watched the video.....those were routine ground balls. I'm not sure it is fair to say Colome blew the second lead.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Speechless.
  22. Mike Sixel
    so, colome did his job? I admit some surprise. Alas, not everyone else did?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Gamecast keeps typing ball in dirt....over and over.....is that real?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I'm not blaming that one on stats.....but YMMV.
  25. Mike Sixel
    BTW, I'm not loving the choice, but I'm saying there isn't another. This is what the FO brought Colome in to do.....
