    One of the many advantages of being barely employed....

    Pages of arguing if insurance exists, when no one knows. Impressive, really. I don't have the stamina for that.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Correct, the players' greed does not bother me. Heck, the owners' doesn't either.....it's trying to get laws passed, that basically go against what we have, as a society, agreed is correct. If you don't have an issue with getting special laws passed to treat one group of humans less than we've agreed to treat others, that's your choice too, just as it is mine.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. But I still give him a shot.
  6. Mike Sixel
    No. The sigh was meant to state it was 100% luck. The next statement that we need to teach statistics and probability was meant to reinforce that statement. I failed in communication, apparently
  7. Mike Sixel
    There seems to be some confusion here...... Understanding does not equal condoning. I don't know how to make this more clear.
  8. Mike Sixel
    that doesn't mean it was luck.... Sigh. We really need to teach probability in high school.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Yes, and? Also not sure he's made generations of money yet, regardless of how it compares to your wages.

    just noticed how I spelled heaven.....as heavan.....which is how I am spelling it in the books I'm writing! Fascinating probably only to me....
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'd give him the first shot.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Fair. And I would not do it. But I also am not from a poor nation, with an entire family to support, maybe for generations. But fair.

    jp 1:00 Are you buying in on Buxton's gains at the plate in the second half? You taking the over or under on 15hr/40sb? Travis Sawchik 1:01 Over and over https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/travis-sawchik-fangraphs-chat-53/
  14. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I actually said none of that....but nice straw man. I said it was easy to sit back and pass judgement on someone, when none of us are in the same position. I never said he had the right to do this, nor did I say that he should not be punished, since these are the rules.....never once did I say anything you just typed. OTOH, I do think it is a stupid rule that should go away, but that is a different discussion that has nothing to do with the post you quoted.

    A whole article.... https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2018/3/19/17137838/byron-buxton-minnesota-twins-center-fielder-superstar

    It's pretty easy to sit back at your computer and say that people trying to preserve their (and their family's....many from poor countries, oddly coincidentally) future should just not do everything in their power to do so....you aren't at jeopardy of losing millions of dollars. As if Tom Kelly didn't throw away syringes back in the day.....teams know. They only care when players get caught. Thinking otherwise seems naive to me.
  18. Mike Sixel
    As I posted in the other baseball forum, if this passes, I'm done watching or listening to regular season baseball....and might have to stop coming here also. Heck, even if it doesn't pass......they asked for this. Reprehensible behavior. Pure and utter greed, but hey, heavan forbid we pay the minor leaguers real money when the owners are struggling so much just to make their next billion.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Disagree. The team has plenty of money to pay him....this team control thing is something we've all fallen for. Team control is code for "keep paying him less than he's worth." That said, he's not ready, and I'm one of his biggest supporters here...
  20. Mike Sixel
    It's bad enough MLB is exempt from anti-trust laws, now Congress is about to pass a law exempting minor leagues from labor laws, basically..... If this happens, and only MLB is asking for this, I'll stop watching and listening, other than maybe hte playoffs. It was nice talking to you all, but I can't support a business like this.
  21. Mike Sixel
    No, I said it was a stupid rule, and should go away. I also said it won't work. Go ahead, enforce your rules, but this is a stupid rule that changes no behavior at all. Nothing about this rule keeps players from trying to end up on the same team. I would be hard pressed to find a spot where I said don't enforce the rule.
  22. Mike Sixel
    How bad would he have to be to be cooked? He was bad. Not good. He's not even a good backup, let alone starter.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Agree they are stupid. But they are the rules.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Aybar is not good. This is bad. We just can't have nice things as Minnesota fans
  25. Mike Sixel
    Hughes should not be on the roster of a playoff contender. We knew that last year, we know that now.
