    Why do you think Gray will be cheap? He's been good since being recalled last year. I'm guessing he's not cheap, but I'd love him here.
  2. Mike Sixel
    True, but do most guys on the shuttle have that happen? I was responding to a party about the guys on the shuttle. I don't Kohl is checked out....
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'd think the opposite. They have the thrill of knowing they are next up, if they do well.

    Some characters have died along the way. And this was end game, the ultimate battle for this group. You know, like moving in on Star Wars, which kids also watch. I don't expect you to agree,I pointed out what I didn't like. I don't get the anger from you and Levi about me wanting something different in a movie.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Which is what I said earlier. Cool.
  6. Mike Sixel
    It hasn't worked that way in any market.....

    The good guys can charge and the bag guys can open fire while they run across a field. Nothing changes about my thoughts on not using the guns. Hell, why wait for so the gates to open? Just start shooting.
  8. Mike Sixel
    We aren't going to agree about that battle.
  9. Mike Sixel
    10000000% sure that part was sarcasm.......
  10. Mike Sixel
    I get all that. The good guy reinforcements showed up before the bad guys charged, but they were on the ground already, yes.

    Not sure this is clear, but that whole battle really took that movie from very good to good/ok for me. I loved the setup, that you can't change time. I loved that Thanos found out, and was going to really change the universe this time. I was mostly good with the flashback scenes. I liked that Tony sacrificed himself, and Cap went back to live the life he wanted. But man, I really did not like that battle scene. It's probably my big issue with super hero stories......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Fire before his troops land. Just kill the super heroes from space....Start shooting before they rush each other, you know, like the catapults should have done in that other show.....His combatant said that after they engaged.....why not soften up the other side before engaging? And the good guys seemed to have no plan, which I guess makes some sense, since they didn't see this all coming. (somehow they all live thru a spaceship obliterating the building they were in. The Hulk, was he even in the fight? Nothing about that fight made sense, in the context of the universe it takes place in.
  13. Mike Sixel
    enemy space ships, huge monsters, thousands of combatants.....who died? Why didn't Thanos just shoot from space the whole time? Hell, blow up the planet, the stones survive. Why didn't the Scarlet Witch break Thanos' weapon, if she somehow can't just break his bones?

    Mystery Chatter: Pick a contender: Padres or Twins? 2:14 Craig Edwards: Why not both? The Twins are benefitting from a good start and a less than great one from Cleveland so they should be in the mix the rest of the season. As for the Padres, they only really need to get another month in contention before they can start making trades to bolster the major league roster. Matt: I feel like Martin Perez has been in the league forever, but I noticed he’s just 28. New team, throwing a Cutter now…are we watching a breakout, or just a hot flash? 2:42 Craig Edwards: I’d really like to see him stay healthy. He looked like rising star way back when but injuries derailed him for a long time. It’s nice to see him pitching really well and missing bats again. Hopefully he can keep it up. Gila Monster : Byron Buxton is 24th in exit velocity and 21st in batted ball distance. He is only hitting 25.3% of his batted balls on the ground. Granted his plate discipline is still awful, but could we be seeing some sort of breakout? His launch angle might be too high if anything now. 3:03 Craig Edwards: It’s possible and I’m hoping for it, but he’s also popping up way too many balls and chasing too many pitches out of the zone. Defense, baserunning and an average bat can make him a very good player, but he’s going to have to do a better job commanding the strike zone to be a star. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/craig-edwards-fangraphs-chat-5-9-2019/

    Tazu: If Kirilloff moves to 1B, will he move down in the rankings? 11:59 Eric A Longenhagen: Yes Kdog: Is Martin Perez for realz? 12:20 Eric A Longenhagen: the cutter development seems to have been significant https://blogs.fangraphs.com/eric-longenhagen-chat-5-10-19/
  16. Mike Sixel
    Also, this article on Vlad's start touches on Buxton more than a bit, as referenced above: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-freak-out-about-vladimir-guerrero-jr/

    Stardom? https://blogs.fangraphs.com/byron-buxtons-slow-rise-to-stardom/

    That adage is what puts businesses out of business.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Less than zero. Seriously
  20. Mike Sixel
    Add in the Stewart draft, and you can see why things needed to change. You can't miss on three straight top ten picks....
  21. Mike Sixel
    He's in AA three years after being drafted. There is nothing solid about his career yet.
  22. Mike Sixel
    A friend on Facebook posted something I agree with, the movie started great, and got progressively less so as it went on.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Again, just one part of a battle that was illogical with no real consequences to the good guys. It should be obvious from my thrones posts, I'm not into stupid battles with no consequences, and really don't like plot armor.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Kirk: when you put Balazovic on your near miss list, you caught a lot of Twins fans off guard. Stat line looks good so far – still see the same ceiling so far? Keith Law: Yep, no change.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It was less odd, yes, because there was no good reason for only women to show up to help each other. It just wasn't "realistic" within the confines of the story. I'm all for more powerful women in movies, but that scene did nothing for me (but I get how it would for others, especially girls wanting strong role models) The whole final battle was full of stupid, imo, and fan service. Blech. I really think I'd have liked that movie a lot more with a better final battle. As for compared to fighting Thanos, several others did fight him, it just so happens those three are the stars of the show.....but ya, why not everyone team up on Thanos at once? All that power, and Thanos can stand up to the Scarlet Witch, a God, Iron Man and his tech? Or Captain Marvel? No chance, not w/o the stones. Why didn't Thanos have his guards with him? Why the arrogance?
