    Free with Verizon Unlimited starting today! Just sign up on Verizon. Or, wait a month or two, so it lasts longer into the service's run..... I'll be watching the Madalorian tonight, and someone I know will now watch it legally....

    Of course, pitch framing is just a fancy word for sets a good target and other things....and is about getting a strike called correctly more than getting a ball called a strike.....they aren't the same thing as stealing signs at all. It's part of the actual play, for example, among other differences.

    Congrats! And I agree with the second place vote for sure. All those injuries....

    We gave away our slow cooker a couple years ago, so the Instant Pot made sense as a replacement, since it can do that and other stuff. Anyone use one? Anyone got recipes they like a lot? So far, I have not read the instructions (bad Mike), but my wife has made beef stew and yogurt. Both were good and easy.

    Apparently this process is based on another team's process....so they aren't alone. That said, I hope they take away picks and whatever else.......

    This is not a plan I would endorse. Way too much given up, and not enough added. If Betts had three years left? Maybe. But I'd rather they sign pitching or trade for it. Price is hurt.... No way Odo signs for that tiny amount either.

    From what I've read a large percent of players don't want to play close to where they grew up, so I think fans over rate that sometimes.

    The only question I have is.....who didn't vote for Alonso? The AL looks about right, overall.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Because they didn't get him. That's literally what passing on getting him means. They passed on whatever price they would have had to pay. That's what a good to great, young, pitcher will cost, minimum. Like I said, it's hard to see how anyone that young and good will be dealt again any time soon.
  10. Mike Sixel
    They could have traded for Gallen last year, and passed. Not sure what other young, really good, pitcher will ever be traded....

    I stand by my posts all year, a good to very good team, but not a great team. The defense has really fallen off, as the team has invested more draft capital in the offense, as many of us believed would happen. I believe if they opened the offense a little, and used Barr a lot more as a blitzer on third down, this team would be better. Still not elite, but more likely to beat an elite team. Coaches don't seem to understand that if you aren't as good as your opponent, you need to be unconventional to win more often....

    They are seventy million below the number you posted. You also posted they should not sign expensive free agents. They have one starting pitcher on the roster. What should they do?
  13. Mike Sixel
    The offense was very good....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Dallas handed that game to Minnesota when they decided to run the ball at end. We'll take it!
  15. Mike Sixel
    It was odd, but still a great drive there. Overall the offense did their job that half. The defense was ok, but not great
  16. Mike Sixel
    So much for the nice start.... Wake me up if this defense is ever elite again
  17. Mike Sixel
    They'll just be in this same spot again next year.... Needing two or more pitchers
  18. Mike Sixel
    Yup. One bad throw so far, but mostly good.
  19. Mike Sixel
    What's the alternative for this year? Punt?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Boston won. They have been great for over a decade. The Cubs won, and have been in the playoffs three years in a row until this year. The dodgers have been great. What do you expect? Btw... How are the cheapest teams, other than Tampa, doing? How many cheap teams pass your WS winning test, if that's the criteria?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Amazing TD.
  22. Mike Sixel
    No one said do it all the time. And you can't convince me that every trade for a veteran is for an underpaid veteran. No way.
  23. Mike Sixel
    By that logic, you wouldn't trade a minor league player either. But teams do.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Point five is 100 percent not true, and stated in an insulting way..... People are cherry picking stats. Look at all the stats, compared to corner outfielders. It would be cool if we could discuss this politely....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I think people are confusing ideas here.... The downside of Eddie is that he's getting more expensive, at a position where the minor league system is stacked. A mid market team can't afford Eddie at some point. I don't think this is that year. Also, people seem to not compare him to other corner outfielders.... He's not all that great compared to other corner players. Over the last 18 months he's been ok compared to other corner outfielders. That's just what the overall offensive numbers show. That doesn't make him bad. It doesn't mean they need to get rid of him. It means they need the minor league players to step up this year. Because eventually they won't be able to afford him and pitching.
