    prima donna is a really weird way to describe john lackey anyway
  2. David
    He was very good as recently as last year before the trade. Crazy.

    Maybe Jeff Luhnow should have a seat next to you. Just 3 seasons ago, Gomez was worth 8.5 wins in a single season. ERADICATE BASEBALL REFERENCE

    So you're saying that building an outdoor diving pool in the Petri dish of South America was a bad idea? It's really easy to maintain an outdoor pool; they just clearly dropped the ball in having anyone properly do it. Derwood strikes again

    I was at Game 5 in Atlanta in 2003 and that was a very very fun night.

    That is what is primarily being referenced with the speculation about the hangover effect in the past few posts.
  8. David
    Being on the Rockies means you'll have very pronounced home/road splits. It doesn't mean that that same player being on another team wouldn't have pretty similar overall numbers (with less severe splits).
  9. David
    Whether it's the hangover or the pitchers parks (it's a bit of both), it's nevertheless explanation for why the splits are so drastic for Rockies players. It doesn't really matter which one it is more of. It's silly to try to belittle Arenado's numbers because the split, in a relatively small sample, appears more pronounced for him this year. Kris Bryant had inexplicable home/road splits last year. This year they're backwards. A lot of that is just happenstance. The numbers that reflect the effect of the tough road parks and the possible hangover effect are much broader and more meaningful. As for the topic of this thread, it doesn't really matter because he's not actually in the MVP conversation, but yeah.

    Rockies are not making the playoffs.
  11. David
    Defense must've just updated because Seager is within a tenth of a win of Bryant now and KB was a half win clear yesterday.
  12. David
    Meh. Murphy is like a win and a half behind Bryant and a good amount of the posters in here think he'll get it. That said, I don't think Arenado is seriously in the conversation, especially given where his team is.
  13. David
    Is the "Inverse Coors Effect" theory still a legitimate theory? I'd like to know exactly how much it effects a players road numbers and how much we should take it into consideration when looking at Rockies hitters. ^^^^^^ It's part "there's probably something to the Coors hangover effect" and part "the rockies play a bunch of games in tough NL West pitchers parks"
  14. David
    Pirates and Mets still have a pulse. But yeah, even if the Nats somehow passed us for best record, we'd still face SF or LA. Only preference is not to face St. Louis or New York, because losing to them would annoy me extra hard.

    9 twice if you include the wild card game

    The NFL isn't really a league where the "I don't want to go to X city" even happens all that often. The scarcity of guaranteed money means the players don't really have that same kind of power to picky like other sports. I mean, some in demand guys hit free agency every year, but they seem far more worried about getting every dollar they can while they're still able to play than they are about location. Yep.
  18. David
    Obviously, plenty of sour grapes after guys leave town, but I don't think I've ever once heard of NFL players not wanting to go to Chicago being a thing. With John Fox around, it's probably even less of a thing. With Lovie it also definitely wasn't a thing. Trestman maybe, but he was here for 2 years. But more importantly, even beyond that, it's Chicago.

    I made that comment not even really thinking about the on-field product. I survived the 90s Bears, which, as been alluded to here already, featured far more incompetent teams. Rather it's the fact that nobody wants to [expletive] play here, which should never happen with a big-market, historic franchise. The mishandling of players - running them out of town, the mind-boggling stupidity of the casual fanbase with the neverending Cutler crusade, relentlessly killing the one guy who always shows up to camp in shape, goes about his business, has his [expletive] together, and plays decently enough. Still, with all that said, I could never actually bail. It's just sometimes I have this utopian fantasy where Jay gets traded to a team with some pieces in place like Houston or the Rams, wins a Super Bowl, and I have the most glorious Bears bonfire ever as retribution. And I feel absolutely disgusting for feeling that way, believe me. Is this an actual narrative? I don't recall us having any trouble getting free agents to sign here or anything along those lines. And I'd imagine it's one of the more desirable cities to play in in the league among most players.

    Since I haven't seen anything about a serious illness, I just assumed heart attack.

    If there were real concern about Rondon, he would've been DL'ed retroactively yesterday to make room for Hammel instead of sending down Grimm. Bosio reiterated this morning that it was nothing big, but with the lack of opportunities to use guys as it stands, they figured they'd give him the extra rest so that it doesn't become a lingering issue.

    The generic/bootleg Cubs stuff at Jewel always cracks me up, but this is just next level [tweet] [/tweet]
  23. David
    i think it sounds gross too, tbh but i think it's usually implied that a sandwich with ham or whatever cold cut is cold so they specify that it's hot
  24. David
    Remind me never to respond to a Bears tweet again. I make one comment to a beat guy about Fuller having put things together toward the end of the year last year and my mentions get flooded with hot takes.
  25. David
    Gotta party hard, bro. :stickman: i mean it seemed like we did like 3 within 14 days last year so nothing would really shock me
