    I turn 55 today.... The plan was to buy pie last night, but the dang pie place is closed on Tuesday. That was totally going to be breakfast. I had to settle for an egg sandwich....

    I like it when they win
  3. Mike Sixel
    Most of them have agreements in place when they are 14 or 15.... And, not really on the "nature" of signing them. Turns out that the rankings hold some merit. And my distaste for signing a 1B/DH is not hindsight...... Whatever, the roster looks decent, and I hope Diaz turns out to be a player, but I have my doubts.

    I was trying to be hopeful that TX might be a swing state, unlike OR, which surely is not. We agree on the EC for sure, it's criminally undemocratic.
  5. Mike Sixel
    But that's a discussion for not nominating him, not for not voting for him if he is the nominee....two different discussions entirely.

    Welcome to the site

    You'd rather have Trump than Bernie? I mean, if that is our choice? Because you might live in a state where your vote matters, unlike me. And lots of others whose vote doesn't matter.

    Is pinch hitting against the new rules? Why is Austin or Astudillo on the roster?
  9. Mike Sixel
    No good pitchers are hitting free agency, how do you propose getting them if not thru the draft? Because players get hurt, you can't just not take pitchers.

    The braves are rolling in money. They could burn it, they have so much. They aren't taking any risk here.
  11. Mike Sixel
    They gave him a forty percent chance of winning, give or take. Just because he did doesn't mean the odds were wrong. Unless you think every time a player gets a hit that the odds he wouldn't were wrong.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Let's hope so. They had the most money that year, and picked the wrong guy so far, by far.
  13. Mike Sixel
    And yet, good polls are usually correct. Whatever, whether you believe in them or not isn't important to me.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Why would you assume that? I've been polled.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Troll much? Just follow a few people, accounts, and it's quite good.

    Twitter is tough for sure, I can't imagine being famous and having to deal with less than ideal people..... But, I do like Twitter for following a handful of writers and sites (Keith LAW, Eno Sarris, Dan Szymbroski, Paste magazine, Auschitz, Craig Calcaterra, and a few others)

    Exciting roster!

    Ryan 12:30 Your 2019 team pitching WAR leaders are the Blue Jays, Marlins, and Twins. Which one actually has the best rotation?ReactReact AvatarDan Szymborski 12:30 Probably the Twins, though the Marlins have more upside https://blogs.fangraphs.com/dan-szymborski-fangraphs-chat-4-1-19/

    How does he prove worthy if he doesn't play? I'm not sure the current 3B is a better hitter. I'm not sure any of the catchers are better, though it is likely Castro is better defensively and Garver offensively, I'm not sure when you combine the two they are better. Note, I'm saying "not sure", as in, I don't know. But, since all he does is hit, I'd like to find out. They should have found out last year, in a lost year. That was bad strategy all around. I'd go for 3-4 starts a week, and see what happens. It's not like he would be replacing all stars.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Didn't ask for that. But all he's done is hit. Give him a shot.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Not one post here says they are doomed.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I wonder what Astudillo would have to do to get regular at bats?
  23. Mike Sixel
    Why bring Austin North, if you don't use him? Same with Astudillo? I like Kepler, but that's why those two are on the roster. And, yes, Mejia should be in there. In a month or two, he'll be a starter when Parker is cut.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I've seen this argument a few times now, why bother trying if you are an AL team that isn't one of those three? I don't like that argument.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I've barely watched college ball in years. But what I read.... He's a legit starting center, most likely. I'm not sure our current center can play center.... Best case is they draft a starting center and guard, and Eiflien is the backup... I'm sure I speeled that wrong....
