    Basically every time something bad happens on defense, it's been Roquan Smith's guy.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    Trubisky with a very good drive.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    Recovering 7 out of 15 fumbles is not that bad, announcer guys.
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    Every single thing has been going bad for the Cubs for months and we barely noticed all along. The World Series hangover never ends.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    I can totally buy PTR2 being a front office smokescreen.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Time for another rebuild.

    Theo after three hours of playing it cool:

    I did kinda miss the Poor Tom Ricketts meme, tbh

    sure, but charting bad decisions/throws (or "should have been" interceptions) would be more predictive than just counting interceptions and reduces variance/luck in the data. in the long run it should even out, but in 8 games, one guy could pretty easily luck his way into significantly fewer (or more) picks than he should have. but you know this. Sure. But absent that data, actual interception totals are a better proxy than actual INTs plus remembering some bad throws. But you know this.

    Everyone has interceptions that "should" have been. A lot of them get dropped. That's why they are DBs and not WRs.
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yeah. Bortles had 1.3 TD:INT ratio and a 3.2% INT rate his first two years. Trubisky right now is at 1.7:1 and 2.3% That's a pretty big difference. Not throwing picks is something Trubisky is pretty decent at for a young QB.

    Always nice to kick the offseason off by getting thinner at pitching to save money.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    Opt-outs still suck for the team and always will.

    If we weren't so used to being burned by the Bears, if this were another team, I think we'd be pretty on them as a very good team that was unlucky to be 3-3.

    Should we just completely ignore and discount his 12 starts here where he was a 3.5 FIP pitcher when there were some real underlying indicators and changes that he wasn’t the 4.5 FIP guy anymore and pitching in Coors Jr had some effect? He’s the best of dumpster options to still be a good to really good pitcher, IMO, and he already proved to be a decent pitcher here for ~1/2 a season. He’s a pitcher and sucks inherently and will probably be a bum but there was enough stuff going on in his time here I think he can carry value. I would ignore it, yes, especially since he seemed to be falling apart by the end of it. But three posts is exactly how much I care enough to argue about whether one year of him is a good idea or not. I've made my token protest or whatever.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    I mean, I doubt it's gonna be The Difference one way or the other. But when you're talking about a 35-year-old, 4.5 FIP guy, you're already dumpster diving, might as well do it in the cheap dumpster.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    I don't even mean in the "players are all going to fall apart and die when they turn 25" sense, although that's true too. It's just silly to constantly try to slap some meaningless sticker on an arbitrary subset of your roster. Of course, I'm still just bitter that we traded Darwin Barney after naming him to the core. I thought it was safe to let him into my heart just a little.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    Cores have always been a little bit of a fake concept.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    $20m for Cole Hamels is not smart.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    Nobody has ever or will ever care about your weird sports opinions. Probably not about anything else, but I only know the sports opinions.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    If he were serious, it would 100% and unequivocally mean he was re-signing with Washington. I doubt he was serious.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Trubisky QB rating: 97.8 TD:INT ratio: 2.5:1 Both higher than Jay Cutler's best season.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    These announcers ... struggle sometimes ... to make ... they don't make words good ... when the talking.

    True statistic In my lifetime: Bears kickers 43% Every Other Kicker 98%
