    He'll go in round one, agreed.

    I think I'm leaning Bradbury right now, the Center. A good starting center helps the mediocre guards a lot, imo. I'd consider a trade back, if I can stay in round 1....depending on what I got. And how much I believed in my scouting for IOL.....(which isn't much right now, frankly).

    Sure, but how many, and how are they already going to vote? So, sure, it matters to "right and wrong", but does it matter to the next set of elections? We already see politicians get re-elected (or elected again) after serving time for corruption (or at least being ousted). It's all about tribes right now, not right and wrong. I don't know how to fix that.

    I think "normal" people just want better jobs, and no war, and better roads......maybe healthcare if they don't have a job that supplies it cheaply. IMO, outside the people that really CARE about politics, I doubt any report that shows no proof of collusion helps anyone much.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I think there needs to be a balance between defense, and late inning offense......so after inning 6, I'm more than willing to PH for him if they need a hit or two....

    from the numlock news daily email today: The SAT costs $47.50 — $64.50 with the essay portion — and the ACT will set students back $50.50, or $67 with the writing portion. AP tests cost $94 to take. All this means that simply in order to get the credentials needed in order to pursue higher education, students with more money already have an edge over students with less money. It’s not like the nonprofits who administer the exams are hard up: Educational Testing Service conducts the SAT for the College Board, and you can probably guess what ACT Inc. runs. ETS had $1.4 billion in revenue in their most recent tax return, while ACT Inc made over $353 million. Jaya Saxena, Vox I don't think people realize how uneven the playing field can be......94 dollars to take an AP test? And, those non-profits continue to roll in money......

    I think CLE will regret caring more about money this year and next, than about winning. At some point, the window closes and they can gut the payroll and make tons of money......or, they can always sell and make more money than they ever imagined, if it is really all about money.

    I'm very glad they didn't pinch run for their DH, the last manager drove me crazy doing that (though he often did it with 2 outs, and the DH on first, IIRC, which is not a good idea, imo).
  9. Mike Sixel
    so much happens in season 6 that I thought happened earlier! And, clearly my memory sucks, as I had forgotten several things. It's also interesting seeing Cersei and a few others clearly foreshadow what will eventually happen....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I was bemused, not offended. I agree, more variety of voices would be great. I also think maybe not voices that aren't maybe interested in actually having a conversation....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Love these summaries, thank you.
  12. Mike Sixel
    even if Romero comes up and is great, Pressley would still be good to have on the team. I'm not sure there is a "good chance" that it will work, what are the odds of either player contributing even 1 WAR in any given season?
  13. Mike Sixel
    and yet, the Twins did not score. Not sure what the problem here is, he used his players and they came thru. Outside the pitch clock, of course, that's different than strategy.
  14. Mike Sixel
    too bad. I was hoping tradition and myth were dead to this team now, and analytics were more important. Though maybe they REALLY believe Castro>>>>>>>>>any other option on defense.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    well played!
  16. Mike Sixel
    Doesn't make it right.....
  17. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. What's the point of three catchers if you don't PH there?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I. AM. SHOCKED!
  19. Mike Sixel
    can't be serious. No one is that bad at planning......
  20. Mike Sixel
    I can't believe they aren't all free this year. Unreal, even. They really don't want new fans.
  21. Mike Sixel
    He's already a radio host, where does he find hte time?
  22. Mike Sixel
    when people look at trades for prospects, they almost always discount the current year or three's cost, and only look to the future. Like this year doesn't count in the equation....
  23. Mike Sixel
    In the mean time, they keep winning championships, rather than waiting for the future.
  24. Mike Sixel
    We decided to start with season 6....and man, lots of stuff happens that I thought happened earlier, and we are only 2 episodes in!
  25. Mike Sixel
    As someone that never uses his glutes (and really should do his therapy again) I totally see how this would work. Glad they are doing stuff like this, frankly....
