    and yet, there they are, in pennant races this year......and no, I don't blame them on either, my point is that if they don't try these young players, ever, then why are they on the roster, and if they are good enough to be on the roster, play them to see if they are worth being on the roster.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Drake too good to pitch in a blowout, apparently......
  3. Mike Sixel
    More. E. Son. Mo. ReSe. On. Mo. Re. Son. Nope, can't find a way to say that one that I like either....

    did someone type Garver is pitching? Seriously? Does the MoY have no care for the future, or for feelings? OTOH, it is possible he asked to pitch at some point....but I don't know, maybe Drake could go in? See what he has?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Hmmmm. Be. Lyle. Be. Li. El. Hmmmm. Nope, can't find a way to pronounce that that I like.....

    Time for the new guys, let's see if they are worth having around.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I have never once even implied they are dummies.....that does not make them right all the time. And, you may recall Matt Millen once rose to this level......
  8. Mike Sixel
    thanks
  9. Mike Sixel
    Until I post in it....oh, wait.

    If people could predict the success of minor league players accurately, there would be no bad trades. That's just not how the world works, not at all. Heck, they can't even accurately predict MLB all the time.

    eat more dessert, I hear it is good for you* *not actually true, mostly, but sort of, if you consider being happy good....as long as you are really happy. ** **practicing to be a lawyer someday. Or not. Probably not. But just in case.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Drake is 31.....I believe.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Maybe if they had kicked the tires on some of these guys last year, Rodriguez or Chargois would still be on this roster.....or maybe not. But, they would have had more data to make better decisions....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Well, 2 of the 3 starting OF have been healthy all year, so .... I'm not really sure why OF isn't anything but strong. Cave and Wade are fine 4th OF, and Kiriloff is only 2 years away. Plus Badoo. And others..... SO, imo, OF is still a strength, it's really only been 1 guy.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Fair....what signs do you see on the current roster that they are looking to 2019? I'm open to a different thought than I have, but I just don't see much of a youth movement.
  16. Mike Sixel
    while I don't disagree with your logic....I'd rather see Austin in August, before rosters get even worse, and he's facing AAA/AAAA pitchers again/still.
  17. Mike Sixel
    No place have I said he's guaranteed anything....in a lost season, you call guys up and give them a shot. He's out of options next year, so see if he's part of the future or not. Been very consistent on that point....gather data, and see where your holes are. And no, I don't really think Morrison is part of 2019. He's had one really good year.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Nope....we only know what we've seen......I remain hopeful this FO will pick a direction, but keeping Morrison around makes me less so every day.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Austin is 26 and out of options next year. That, imo, is why he should be up this year. Because he's either here next year, or claimed when optioned, or not good enough to worry about. I'm with you on Gordon and some other young players, though.
  20. Mike Sixel
    He's not an OF.....I'd guess that matters. but let's do a thought experiment.....if he is out of options, or is next spring.....how does keeping him down this fall mitigate any issues next year? Because there is no reason to send him back down this year, if called up.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I asked for clarification on this....as they have this series, which is not penned by their prospect team....and not reflected on their Board.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I agree, it's not their worst move......the Austin thing is really about Morrison, not the OF. With Wade hurt, I'm not sure what the other options are, really. I find it hard to believe this guy is on the roster next year, with Buxton, Rosario, Kepler, Cave, Wade, Grossman all around.....but I guess weirder things have happened.
  23. Mike Sixel
    How does this matter? Either he'll be up at some point, or never up. Why not have him up now, in a lost year, to see if he can help next year?
  24. Mike Sixel
    Why would the FO want to look at someone that might be here next year....... That said, Morrison could go, and Austin could come up.
  25. Mike Sixel
    speechless.
