Bryant's injury was a big factor clearly, but dropping 60+ hr's from year to year isn't due to one guy. The average team hit 20 fewer HR than last year, and Bryant alone is another 15. i mean they went from like 9th in mlb in 2017 to 22nd and the coaching staff publicly denounced launch angle and talked about spreading line drives around
-
i don't think hitting coaches generally matter all that much because one guy who can be an awesome fit with 1 or 2 hitters could be a terrible fit for the swing of another couple guys, but it seemed pretty clear that chili/maddon were advocating a different type of approach throughout the lineup that was more line drive oriented and less launch angle oriented, and that seemed to pretty clearly manifest itself in a severe lack of dong potency (not just from missing bryant) in a lineup that was pretty much stacked top to bottom with guys capable of hitting 20+ HR (aside from heyward). javy managed to avoid it because he probably never even knew the hitting coach's name.

really? i think he's worse and thought he was decent at csn
-
oh horsefeathers i do know ryan scheckler but i didn't realize that was him...he was on rob and big or fantasy factory when he was like 12 or something
-
I’m old and out of touch. I only know who three of those people are, and I’m clearly meant to be impressed by that lineup. i may or may not have googled the one on the right i did that when the pic first came out like 2 weeks ago or whatever too

I dunno, I think they meant to capture a large mix of different types of sports fans. I don't think you are necessarily out of touch if you can't recognize a surfer, skateboarder or motocross rider. yup. i wouldn't have recognized anybody but javy, harden, and kobe if i were 20 years younger either.

was mooney one of the reporters back in the spring suggesting the cubs wouldn't dong as much (who we admittedly made fun of) because of chili's history with the red sox?
-
for some reason this made me think of phil plantier and then i wondered if he was briefly a cub or if i was just confusing him with phil nevin or something (he wasn't and i think i was)
-
i just saw this yesterday
-
damn, and here i was giving rmack credit for doing something decently well
-
have there been any updates as far as lauri's recovery? initial report was 6-8 weeks (like two weeks ago), right?
-
remember when derrick rose looked like an mvp candidate in preseason in 2013
-
There's a page 67?

Bears hold on at #2 overall in DVOA through the bye https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teameff

one of said seasons was 4.8 war in 111 games and the other two were 3.0 in 147 games, and 3.5 in 159 games (where Fangraphs HATED his defense). He had his one 9.3 fWAR season, and hasn't been above 5 in any other season. He's a fun player who I would like to have, but he hasn't lived up to the hype. Any debate of Harper vs. Trout ended long ago He has a career 140 wRC+ and .382 wOBA. His defensive numbers were flukishly bad this year.

This is more the attitude I expected there to be around here about this guy (and deservedly so)
-
i wonder if he and KB will drive down together
-
i honestly have no recollection of starting this thread i think it was a bunch of merged threads and i have no idea if i even used this title
-
Both of the sideline throws to Cohen were excellent. He dropped it right into his hands and he didn't even need to break stride. Yeah, I had actually forgotten there were two of them lol

as long as we no longer employ chili davis that is
