    assuming they paid me MLB wages? Any of them.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Eddie. Eddie.
  3. Mike Sixel
    yes no
  4. Mike Sixel
    This isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of the awesome system in terms of providing any help......
  5. Mike Sixel
    Yes and no. It's nice to have 5 pitchers that give you a shot at winning, rather than 4. Those extra 10 or 15 good starts a year lead to 6-10 more wins over the season (WAR's biggest weakness for pitchers, imo). For the playoffs, yes, bigger deal at the top. But not having to start guys that give you good starts less than half the time, having to cycle thru them and manage the roster, and saving the bullpen some innings is a big deal over 162 games (or 20-30 starts).

    I can't imagine they paid him to be a fifth starter, though. I'm guessing he's their 4th best starter the rest of the way.....Possibly third, but I doubt it.

    For years people said Amazon and apple and Google were too expensive.... My thought is that if you don't need the cash, investing in good companies with good leadership is a good idea. I still love Shopify and Okta. I am still a mild believer in New Relic, but they aren't getting traction. Nvidia is no longer my favorite, but they are priced cheaper, so maybe? I can't comment on the rest, as I haven't looked at them. This is, of course, not advice, just observations.....

    I think we are seeing more and more that teams don't care about winning all that much. At some point, fans will also stop.
  9. Mike Sixel
    He's one of what I assume are several options, but yes, the rotation is at best suspect next year. Without him? Who is coming from the minors next year?
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agree. If he's not in their plans as late as next year, this team is in real trouble next year. But I've been saying that for months.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Perhaps the worst part of a lost year.... Not seeing what the youth had. Given what others have done this year, I can't see any reason not to give him a shot.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I never understood people panicking over a 21 year old getting his first taste of AAA. Sure, Gordon has lost some luster, but many here have doubted that pick all along, despite his rapid rise. I doubt hell be a star, but I would bet good money he's in the majors a long time, barring injuries.

    Llewelyn: Are the twins real? Everything seems to make sense, they have a ridiculous offense and their run differential seems to be in line with their record, but I can’t help but feel like some of their hot starters will come back down to Earth. Are these simultaneous breakouts reflective of a new culture? Or is it just entirely luck that they all seemed to happen at the same time? 2:27 Craig Edwards: They are real in that they are very likely to make the playoffs. They do have a ton of players whose performances will come down some but they are in a bad division. Going .500 gets them to 90+ wins and playing like a .500 team with their schedule should net them even more. While people harp on the bullpen, I think starting pitching depth is their biggest need right now. 2:42 Stroman: When am I traded? Do I bring back more or less than Madison? And where? 2:43 Craig Edwards: I think it will be a comparable deal when compared to Bumgarner though I would guess Toronto gets someone closer to the majors or in the majors with San Francisco willing to take on someone not ready to contribute right away. I’m terrible at guessing destination, but Braves, Yankees, Cardinals, and Twins seem like the best fits. Lots of questions in every chat right now about what a player can return in a trade. You may be interested in those.... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/craig-edwards-fangraphs-chat-6-13-2019/

    That should not have been an issue for Romero. Nothing about that was a bad decision by the manager.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Once. Ok, twice. Just waiting for my wife to get home, she has something I need to do some work..... Because I need to get out of the house....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Irony? Free game of the day, but I can't watch because they are playing a team three hours away, in a different state.... Oh well. I'll just work I guess.

    12:35 Sir Mookleton McBetts III: Thoughts on Luis Arraez? His hit tool is Fire Emoji but no power eh? 12:35 Kiley McDaniel: He’s going to be a big mover, I’m sure he’s a Cistulli and KATOH favorite RIP 12:44 mr: Any similarities between Buxton and CJ Abrams? Buxton was a SS coming out of HS IIRC 12:46 Kiley McDaniel: Buxton was CF only at least late in HS. Both 80 runner that project for 55-60 raw, likely both in CF, Buxton is bigger and better built, both have feel for contact but Abrams probably a little better, and also LH with a shot to play SS. Buxton may be a superior baseball athlete in terms of comparable tools to Abrams but Buxton’s frame and actions in every facet are about as good as anyone has seen https://blogs.fangraphs.com/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-6-12-19/

    True. But also the pen has been better than expected.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Same. Five would have been a good line....
  20. Mike Sixel
    You need a bigger glass.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Which wine?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I missed it, did Martin give a perezant to EE?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Of golf?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Popular vote doesn't matter, what's it look like in the 7 states (give or take) in play?
  25. Mike Sixel
    I just posts 'em, I don't write 'em......but I'll say that w/o Odo leading (give or take) MLB in ERA, and replacing him with Stewart, they'd have less wins and a much more taxed bullpen. But, ya, Polanco for me also....
