    Mark Prior was better after the injury. From 7/11/2003 to the end of the season he had a 2.06 ERA and 2.35 FIP. So what horsefeathers timeline are you looking at? So just how much did it really affect him? It didnt impact his mechanics, thats some horsefeathers. He struck out over 10/9 and less than 2 walks/9. He would have gotten through the 8th in G6 if not for stupid ass Gonzalez. He broke because pitchers break. Its hard for you guys to accept because they sold us that hes an unbreakable specimen.

    The Cubs won the division by 1 game. Sit Prior more and 2003 (the greatest year of a lot of our baseball watching lives to that point) doesn't even happen. Im sure so many of you wanted to see him restricted at the time. Dusty did what managers were tasked to do back then. Win at all costs.
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah this has never happened to any other pitcher ever
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    The same one who threw 420 innings over 2 years after leaving the Giants, including a 3 win season. Totally broken. Meanwhile Zambrano, younger than Mark Prior, went on to throw 1100 innings over the next 5 years after 2003. Why didnt he break? Why did Strasburg break after being put in bubble wrap for multiple seasons? Its just the luck of the draw. Some pitchers bodies can handle it and some cant. Period.

    Sorry Dusty, should have leaned on Remlinger and Guthrie more. Had a lockdown pen, no need to overuse your oxen.
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    Yes, they did. And some pitchers could take it and some couldn't. Pens were built and prioritized completely differently. The Cubs had like 3 relievers you would maybe be sort of comfortable getting the ball to. Looking back, who would you rather pitch the 7th, Prior or Guthrie, Mulholland, Alfonseca? So you needed 7 from your starters, or 6 at least. Interesting how Zambrano didnt break. He pitched more innings than all of them. And went on to be the most durable pitcher in the majors for half a decade after. For anyone to suggest Baker ruined Wood is a joke. Wood blew out his arm at 20 and was on the DL more than he was available. You needed to ride him when he was on because he was one pitch from it all coming to an end damn near every year he was a starter. Prior was destined to break and his demise was hastened by 2 brutal fluke injuries. Dusty did what every damn manager did back then. He did the same thing to Russ Ortiz and he never broke. Its all a false narrative IMO.

    Did so much for the disadvantaged white male. A true pillar of non-conformity.
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Yes exactly.
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    This loss is worse than the double doink. 3rd worst loss after the SB and the NFCCG because of our QB situation. Its been a rough week.
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    Any interest in seeing if Nashon can play FS? Seems like hes projected for 2/8-10. Really solid in run support and did much better covering the long guys.
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    We probably see a much better pass rush with healthy DBs. Jaylon and Kyler are critical. Booker and Sweat will produce a lot more if we have better injury luck. I like using the first pick on EDGE, we have a solid rotation to build upon there and slot a rookie in. Unless the Bears feel Benedet will dramatically improve in pass pro, I would like a plug-n-play type LT to keep Caleb in clean pockets. So I hope Poles looks at those options too.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    That seems extremely generous on our behalf. Feels like Rome and Colston had at least 3 apiece.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Are there any LT we might target via trade like Thuney and Jackson?
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    Wish the Bears would have tried this once on those 3rd and short situations.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Miami put up a hell of a fight. Indianas story is co.pletely unprecedented, at least in my lifetime. It's like how I played NCAAF on EA. Take doormats to dominance. Just so freaking cool. Unbelievable season.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah he can play anywhere but C and 1B, I believe.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Anyone have the official drop stats from last night for each team?
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah I woke up pretty bitter. Johnson let us down IMO.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    That blitz to leave Puka open just pisses me off so much
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    That seems wildly optimistic. I was thinking more like 20.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    So what, its the friggin bench. And hes an outstanding defender too. They need to play him.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Well they did land 1 immediate contributor and another that took a few weeks to get into game shape and turned out to be one of the best pass blocking LT in the league in the 2nd this year. 2nd and 3rd round picks dont have to be projects. I dont really like the idea of trading up from 27 or whatever. Good chance you'll have to give up a significant number of picks to get as high as you need to get.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    They killed us with that Dexter penalty. One of the worst calls I've ever seen.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    I draft one with the first pick. Actually I hope we trade our first and pick up some more picks. But yeah they really need another stud OT.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    Caleb just needs to scramble more, period. It is a huge weapon and he is mostly not utilizing it. I cannot believe we had like 5x more drops than the warm weather team. Those receivers should be ashamed of their terrible play tonight. The Rams caught impossible passes and we horsefeathers the bed over and over. The 3rd down runs were boring and obviously predictable. We need more boots and quick passes in the slot. That last pick from Caleb was a total unforced error. We had the momentum and pissed it away. Thank you for the great season though! So excited for next year, although Poles and co have a lot of tough decisions to make.
