I just had a co-worker who I had previously thought was somewhat knowledgeable about baseball look at me and say "ZO-BRIST? I always thought it was ZORR-BST" Sometimes you just don't really know people.
Hey now, Brian Lawrence had three, almost four 200+ IP seasons in a row with a positive WAR every year. Then he tore both his labrum/rotator cuff and well, that was that.
I can't believe someone would take that bet. In no world were the Cubs going to win 8 fewer games than 2015 with now a full season of those who propelled them to 97 wins.
