    ****. ****. ****. Let me be more clear. ****. ****. ****. and many of you thought I was exaggerating when I said this presidency would be really, really, really bad....

    ****. ****. ****

    For those of you who want an idea.... Shopify has plummeted the last few days. I'd consider it on sale..... Not that this is advice....

    I take it back, I don't think I'm ready to demote Kepler. But I am ready to cut Grossman, and see what Wade can do. Or Morrison, either one, or both. Neither is part of the future.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I might demote Kepler also at this point. Promote Wade and give him and Cave shots.... See what you have. This whole thing is a real downer.

    Btw, I stopped rooting for AP, and for other athletes who did bad things more than one time... I also understand why a team wouldn't want the negative PR. Hell, what's the Venn diagram of those supporting Heimlich, but against Kaepernick?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Yes

    I'm not actively rooting for a server like I am a sports team. I believe people should be able to get jobs, but I don't want to root for them.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I have said all along that I'd give them at least three years. But Matt Belisle is on the roster... So I'm not sure if I'm strong enough....
  10. Mike Sixel
    BTW, I'm beginning to suspect this isn't a serious playoff team....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Well, the scouting director makes the draft picks.... The GM should be judged more on free agents, trades, and overall MLB success. How's that going?
  12. Mike Sixel
    because the newspaper found out....
  13. Mike Sixel
    I might consider it, if he took responsibility, but I really doubt it. Sounds like KC is going to sign him.
  14. Mike Sixel
    to what end? He's got zero WAR, and only plays 1 position. Last year he put up negative WAR. I have no idea why they'd want this guy.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm guessing 30-35MM is the max they can put in 1 guy.....and it will take about that to get Machado. That does raise some concerns/issues, depending on how many pre-arb guys and cheap FAs they have on the roster. It does no good to sign Machado and do nothing else. And they won't be able to do much else if they go to $45MM on one guy. I'm not sure if 30MM is sustainable for 1 guy, I'd have to look long and hard at the roster to see if it is. If it isn't, I'm not sure how they catch up to the big players.....well, the only way they can is if Buxton and Sano return to being superstars, because there is no one else (hitter wise) coming from the minors any time soon that is elite, most likely. edit: Or, if they trade for guys like Realmuto, but they probably don't have the minor league ammo to do that more than 1-2 times, and still have much on the farm as far as elite prospects goes, to fill in the less expensive part of the roster.
  16. Mike Sixel
    true, but I doubt Duke and Reed and Gibson and Lynn and Ordorizzi and others I'm forgetting need mentoring..... There just aren't that many inexperienced, or even young, players on this roster.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'll give Westworld one more season, but it's close to losing me. At least the characters aren't as stupid as on Man in the High Castle, which I gave up on.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Stop players from stepping out of the box for thirty seconds between every pitch. Start there.
  19. Mike Sixel
    and cancelled....right? thought it's on the list to watch.
  20. Mike Sixel
    If they could throw more strikes, they would.....or at least close balls. This will lead to no one swinging the bat, well, a lot of people not swinging the bat. And slow the game down. I love the anti stats (or, as anyone should call it, anti being smart) parts of this article....

    Indians Fan 1:18 Great chats. There are a number of exciting young arms. Wondering, what are your thoughts on their future. Which one has the best chance to be an ace. Shane Bieber, Jonathan Loaisigia, Jamie Barria, or Fernando Romero? Kiley McDaniel 1:18 Eh, insanely low chance any is an ace. I would rank them Bieber, Lasagna, Romero, Barria https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-6-26-18/
  22. Mike Sixel
    Hence the small window many of us have discussed.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    yes, yes we will.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I call BS. There are no young players to work with.
  25. Mike Sixel
    it was terrible. Bad teams shouldn't give up draft picks.
