    Ya, the movies did not make that clear.

    Right. So he could die even if she won the fight. That would have been a good moment for female power, imo

    Ya, she's one of those all powerful ones that is hard to work around. Hell, she can fly through a ship, but not Thanos? I wish the Scarlet Witch had succeeded at killing Thanos, that would have been great. There were ways for Tony and Captain America to move on even within that.

    HBO told them they'd love more seasons, D&D wanted to be done. They also wanted shorter seasons at the end. PERHAPS, that is budget related, but if so, they could have easily shot 5 more "people in rooms talking" episodes, where bad things happened to Dany and Gray (Grey?) Worm, that helped explain their hatred of Westeros (really, I can't blame Gray Worm here at all, everything he cared for died in the West).

    It's a stupid old saying, as people that understand math would never use average that way, but I get your point. We probably won't agree here.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but they didn't acquire those players, but they did let them go. They also drafted two rule 5 guys, neither of whom they kept. It was, admittedly, a short answer to a complex question. They are having a good season this year at the MLB level, but it's not like the AAA team, that was supposed to be full of depth, has been all that helpful yet. I remain hopeful, if cautious.

    did you read the math article? Bunting there decreases your odds of scoring by 5%, give or take. Seems odd, but it does.
  8. Mike Sixel
    You picked the comparison, not me. I wouldn't cut him, he has options. But that wasn't what you typed. But, if I was going to call someone up, it would be him. But he would have a short leash, and if it doesn't work, then Romero, who should have a longer leash. Then whatever guy they feel is next up. I have big doubts about Duffey, but sure, one more chance? I guess.

    bodes well for their next project.....

    taylor 2:11 i find the twins to be ... very fun. do you think this fun is sustainable ? Meg Rowley 2:13 Maybe not quite to this level, but yes. I imagine they will need pitching help, though. Voldemort 2:26 Is this the year Nelson Cruz's age finally catches up with him? Meg Rowley 2:26 The wrist thing isn't great, but no signs so far. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/meg-rowley-fangraphs-chat-5-14-19/

    There are times to bunt late in games, maybe. But here is some math (note, this is not a game thread, so you were not promised no math, sir or madam). https://www.danblewett.com/run-expectancy-bunting-bad/

    Nice straw man. No one is asking he be the best closer ever to be on the roster.
  13. Mike Sixel
    If the Twins knew Rogers was going to be this good, they would have taken him earlier. His success has nothing to do with Jay's failure. Jay, Gordon, Stewart, were Ryan's last three number 1 picks, before that? Buxton, Levi Michael, Alex Wimmers, Gibson, Hunt, Guteriezz, Hicks..... So, three legit ML players out of ten. Jay, Gordon and Stewart were all top 10 picks (meaning the ML team was bad.....). (One of the three good ones he traded for Murphy.....) and maybe Gordon turns out. Miss on one? Sure. Miss on two? Maybe ok. Miss on all three in a row? That's not good enough, if your strategy is to NOT sign big time FAs, not trade top prospects for players, and to build in the draft and IFA......
  14. Mike Sixel
    hahahahahaha! Seriously? They haven't compromised since POTUS Clinton. Seriously. The thought that party cares about anything other than low taxes and government empowering white men is ridiculous.

    Late next year for Gaterol? I hope not. Because with their lack of depth, that means a lot of starts by lesser pitchers. If Balazovic is dominant for two months, promote him again. He could be up next year.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Arya kills Gray Work while he sleeps, puts on his face, and kills Dany..... Note, this also will not happen, but that's what I'd consider if I was the author.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Dany flies North to kill Sansa, but bran wargs into the dragon, and saves the North. Note....I don't think this happens, but in a fantasy novel it would.

    On Smeltzer: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/peripheral-prospects-ep-1-09/ It's a fantasy related part of the site!

    Please tell me I'm not now going to get pop up ads at the bottom of every page.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Oh, no doubt about it, he fits that generalization for sure...... But, no, it's not GRRM.....its that the showrunners wanted to be done in 13 episodes, when there was 20 episodes of story left, if you want to be true to the context and characters....
  22. Mike Sixel
    My first novel was 100% pantser, yet it is all plot and no character. So, either I'm an anomaly, or that's generalizing.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ya, there is a giant pop up (or poop, as my computer tried to type) ad on the right also.....covering a good chunk of the page/navigation.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I liked you posted an image, not that you too are having issues.......just to be clear....because, you know.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm using Chrome, and starting a few minutes ago, seeing the list of threads in a forum is broken. The titles are much larger, and overlap the links and stuff. Also, there now appears to be a popup add at the bottom. Yuck.
