    Most of these kids are done deals a year or two before they can sign. So their current ranking is not necessarily indicative of what a team thought when they came to agreement.

    A huge battle, and not one good guy was killed in action. I just don't see any stakes. The grrrrl power scene was too over the top for me. Scarlet witch can control so much, she can't break a limb? Thor couldn't hardly hurt Thanos? I loved the way they handled time travel, and Thanos finding out. I utterly hated the final battle.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I found it underwhelming. Not one person died when a space ship blew up a building to rubble? Help me understand how Thanos with no stones can survive fights like that? Help me understand why they even fought, and didn't just keep shooting from the ship.

    And? The goal is to get better, and the pen was an obvious spot in the off season, and still is now. Every team had lost for a lot of reasons, not sure what that means to what should have, or should now, happen.

    Again, he comes up if Polanco is hurt, why is he sitting on the bench?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Why is bringing up Gordon, if there is an injury, bad? He's not looking like a superstar, so service time isn't an issue. The post you replied to said Gordon could come up if polanco is hurt. They also have the short stop from the Yankees in AAA if someone is hurt.

    Copied from my Facebook post this morning.... The Ringer is killing it with their coverage of this overly rushed season of GoT. Just as they have all along. This season, and to an extent last, took a great show and made it lesser than it was. Still good, just not great anymore. It's making me hungry for the books again, frankly. Which after the last, I didn't think could happen. The show went from cutting out the chafe to burning the wheat.

    For those that want a better pitcher, with control, who is that that will actually be available? Because there aren't many that meet all three criteria.
  9. Mike Sixel
    If you aren't constantly getting better, you fall behind. I'm with Seth, if he can help this year, he'll be up this year.

    Strikeouts are so much better than ground balls!
  11. Mike Sixel
    5-10 more meh starts? Ugh. I mean, that's kind of my point.....how long do we go with him?
  12. Mike Sixel
    Better that than a ground ball. I truly believe Sano is a top 5-10 3B in the league when healthy. And, I believe he will be healthy again. I get that not everyone is a believer, but I'm a believer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB9YIsKIEbA

    If the goal is to win while Rosario, Buxton, Berrios, and Sano are here, sooner is better......much better.

    Apparently it's cool to ignore subpoenas now. The GOP has no soul. I can't believe I used to work for them.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I'm thinking Garver is the main catcher right now....or at least an equal partner. I am imagining adding Sano to this lineup, and almost drooling.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure that pointing out that minor league pitchers rarely turn out as good as "proven" MLB pitchers is anecdotal.....but I get your points. I'm not as sold on Gaterol as the rest of you....I get that. The Twins aren't demoting Pineda for Gaterol...but they might for Stroman. By the time they are ready to demote Pineda for an unproven minor leaguer, how many bad outings will it be? 5 more? 10? too many for me, this year. But, I get everyone's hesitancy.....but I also don't know how people think they go from 88 wins or so, to serious contender without pitching improvements.
  18. Mike Sixel
    which is fair.....but this year counts, and they have a chance to win the division this year. Gaterol won't be here until, what, August? September? Without 2 injuries, at least? I understand liking Gaterol but everyone loved Romero last year.....and Gonsalves the year before.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Of course it ends up closer to 5 than 3......is anyone expecting an ERA under 4? That would make him a legit number 2 in this run scoring era. But, I get your hesitation. Last year, no one wanted to deal Romero, because he had a ceiling of a number 2, and a floor of a high leverage RP. Anyone want to rethink that? The floor for guys that have never pitched in the majors is a lot lower than people want to think......
  20. Mike Sixel
    Good one.....but really, you have to consider dealing Rosario if you can't extend him, if you believe in Kiriloff......
  21. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, Jon had barely ridden a dragon before.....it probably takes a bit to learn to control them. But ya, just stupid. I hate it when books and shows rely on smart people being stupid to move the plot forward. So lazy.* *good golly I'm going to get roasted when I eventually publish my novel(s) and short stories for stuff ....

    TwinsWin: Martin Perez was at best mediocre. He added a cutter which has been very successful. Can he continue success, or will the hitters eventually catch up? 2:11 Meg Rowley: I’m pretty encouraged. Hard not to be when you couple the jump in strikeouts with the decline in home runs, which, how is that working in 2019? I need to dig on him further (I’ve only seen parts of two of his starts) but early returns look really promising. 2:11 Meg Rowley: If a Martin Perez led rotation helps fell Cleveland… Jeez, baseball rocks (sorry Cleveland fans). Jay: Who do you think will be leading the AL Central by the end of May, and by how many games? 2:45 Meg Rowley: Twins but only by like, three. Spahn and Sain: How worried are you if you’re the Indians that the Twins might be a better team than you, particularly with Kluber and Clevinger out for an extended period? 2:56 Meg Rowley: I would be pretty worried. 2:56 Meg Rowley: Their whole deal was predicated on the stars being stars and playing most of the season. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/meg-rowley-fangraphs-chat-5-7-19/

    Odds are Gaterol is a relief pitcher. Smaller odds are he's a number four or five starter. You would not deal him for a number two or three starter, controlled for one and a half years?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Everyone dies but Gendry, new ruler of the seven kingdoms. Not really my guess...
  25. Mike Sixel
    Good job. Based on this, I'd exclude Lewis and Kiriloff off the bat, then start the negotiations. I'd rather have Stroman than Gaterol. So, Gaterol and Gordon and a throw in should do it easily. Though that might be a slight overpay.
