“For the Cubs, though, the smart (if miserly) decision was to trade a few games of Bryant in 2015 for a full season of him in 2021.”

I've never been in Chicago's locker room, so I'm afraid I'm no help.
I think this is absurdist abuse of statistics at its finest. You can’t say, “This isn’t how to use this tool” and then use it anyway because it supports your argument.
I agree. This article is poorly thought out. Attaining Bryant for another year when he is more in his prime is not worth a 8% increase in a chance to win a wild card playoff game when the team greatly exceeded expectations this year.
I was going to say- to me, this seems like a pretty good argument for what they did? I mean, if you’d gone to management right up front and said you can trade an entire year of his career for home instead of away at the WC game, they would have tripped over their own dicks rushing to take the extra year.
Let’s explore this by comparing the value of an extra year of control over a great player like Bryant vs. playing at home for one game. Annnd...you’re stupid.
All Bryant’s agent, Scott Boras, could do was fume. “You are damaging the ethics and brand of Major League Baseball,” he said in front of pictures of clients Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, and Manny Ramirez.
Disagree. Gold is a shade of yellow and therefore insensitive to Asians. Blue is insensitive to the hypoxic and to the Na’vi.
For what it’s worth (not much) I think painting your face gold or blue or colors that aren’t black is fine
Sudetanly and unexpectedly, Michael Bennett appeared on camera.
Enough. We all know that the Seahawks just want lockerroom peace in our time.
“My dick is SO torn up, dude - it was amazing!”
Oh god oh god oh god oh god....
So now the Ocean is their responsibility?
I’m pretty sure that was the entire reason he cut the budget. I mean, how else are you going to get pies?
It’s a sad but true fact that when Scott Walker massively reduced funding to the University of Wisconsin system, one of the first things to be cut from the budget was the Female orgasm.
Pretty weird that all this crazy stuff is happening in Buffalo.
It’s an entire town that lacks shame and pretends to have pride.
I’m sure Jerry Hughes somehow got called for a personal foul for this.
