    I agree, but I'm hoping they don't, you know, extend a manager, then fire him, hire coaches, then fire them, trade like they are in it, then trade off guys.......it's kind of a trend. Now, the ability to admit mistakes and move on is a strong trait, but I'd prefer they be right more often the first move......
  2. Mike Sixel
    Good decisions.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'd feel better about the FO if they could stick to a decision for more than a day or two.... And yes, that's an exaggeration.

    You want Gray, who is only signed for a year or two, but not Machado, who would be signed for 5-8 years? I'm not sure I understand that logic. Signing Machado isn't about just next year, or even 2020..... that said, I don't want a dirty player on this roster, so no to Manny.

    I too am not as confident as some of you. If you had asked me 10 years ago if the GOP would capitulate to a person like Trump, I'd have said no way. There are too many good people in the GOP for that to happen. I don't know why I'd think this court is any different......they'll do anything to get their way, imo.

    Ya, I've been suggesting that here since the site launched. It would be a lot easier to find guys to go through the order twice, and send them up and down to AAA, than to find 4-6 really, really, good starters.

    I think we all know the answer to that question. All of 2019 and 2020 is going to be about how the democrats are keeping him from doing what is right, and if only they weren't there we could be great, and safe, and have more jobs and the economy would be better. "It was great the first two years, then the dems took over the House, and now look".....

    And somehow it manages to get worse.
  9. Mike Sixel
    That's probably what I would do also.....as the alternative is a lot of work.....

    I'd have liked to see Kepler at 1B more this year, to see if he can do it....to know what might be a good or bad idea for this next year.... I probably try Rosario at 3B once or twice, to see if he can do it, at least in spring training, if not a lost season. If I am the Sox, I think I try Betts at 2B during the year, since they were planning to WIN, and could use him at 2B in an NL park. But I would have tried it in the spring first. Just as I'd play a backup more often in a lost season, to see what he has.....which I know is different, and still doesn't happen enough for my taste.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Much like many states....the huge majority of landmass is GOP, the huge majority of cities is not, or trending not. MN and OR are for sure....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Q: Is the handbook being update to reflect the new manager? Will it be updated for the new coaches? An idea....update it as they sign players, and add sections on what might happen next? That is about what you'd do in a blog post.....

    It's not just Brazil.....and it isn't just who wins. All the conservative parties (at national levels) seem to be nominating racist, xenophobes......where is the conservative party that believes in whatever, but isn't racist at the top (the top is where the populism comes in, imo...where you see how large swaths really feel)?
  14. Mike Sixel
    The D isn't elite, and the O is not good enough, not with two of the best WRs in teh game and a $35MM a year QB. Norv Turner seems more innovative than our current OC...... It's clear they shouldn't be paying this much for this level of TE play.....I

    We agree on UBI and education reform, and I'd 100% add universal health care. Starting a business or two....it is impossible to get decent health care. That's not way to encourage entrepreneurs, or anyone.....but really I just want people to have access to healthcare. As for the trend, Brazil's recent election doesn't help my mood.....too many nations are not moving forward. We'll see what happens at the state levels here in a couple weeks.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Btw, I appreciate rpg.net and Penzey's for taking stances.......it's a good start.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Given I've been asking how to do it, it seems unlikely I think there is some easy answer.....but if there isn't an answer, what do you do about it?
  18. Mike Sixel
    IT seems easy in ND and NC to legislate oppression, not to mention gerrymandering. And, SCOTUS is tearing down the voting rights act, isn't it? It would have been hard to convince my liberal GOP '80s self that would ever happen.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I was thinking about this..... Is it worse to be a racist OR Worse to support racism so you can have more money? I'm not actually sure which of those are worse people.
  20. Mike Sixel
    And, Brazil joins the list of nations moving to elect people like Trump.....outside Canada and some of Europe, it's hard to see progress right now.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I want to make the world a better place. ONE way to do that is to elect better candidates, but it clearly isn't enough. I'll try to be more clear in the future which one of those two I'm talking about, but I guess that seemed obvious to me, I'm not into electing a party for election sake...... And, you should look in the mirror on your posts, mine are never about you, but your opinions. Your's are often about me, and not just my opinions in this thread. That post you replied to is not about you at all, until the end where I point out that what you said, not in a demeaning way, just that you did. I'd like to continue this, but you seem really angry about my posts, rather than about what is happening in the world......

    The vast majority of starts are 5.1 innings or less, not 7 innings or more......I sometimes wonder if people realized how different the league is now, compared to 5+ years ago. Mejia has been better than every one of those players, at the MLB level.
  23. Mike Sixel
    And yet, 30% of the nation doesn't agree....just ignoring them won't make them go away. Just electing different leaders won't either, as witnessed by what is happening 2 years after Obama left office. The hate and fear and other things aren't going away. 150 years after the civil war, and if anything it is worse now than it was 30 years ago, despite the "inevitable march of freedom/liberalism". The answer isn't as simple as "turn out the vote and elect different people to office". Even out here on the super liberal west coast we have RWNJ groups killing people and doing their best to elect right wingers in enough numbers to derail progress. You yourself posted the nation is getting more conservative, not less. So, what's the answer to actually fixing problems, because it isn't electing democrats alone.
  24. Mike Sixel
    But hey, all we have to do is turn out the vote (because apparently we haven't been trying up until now), and somehow things will be fixed.....even though we are 150 years past the civil war, and the South still thinks we are at war.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'd guess the Saints weren't exactly taking chances in the 2nd half......I don't know what happens if they are really putting the foot on the pedal.
