I would have settled for the statistical discussion I was trying to have, but that wasn't going to happen.

All hail Getz.

Yes, my usage of stats and being called a liar and unfair derailed this thread. I will not make that mistake again.

Which is exactly where the phrase "Coop will fix him" came from. His ability to get guys to come out of no where and be just as good as they were. No Russian's were consulted in this post.

I am sure. That seems to be the case with anyone who isn't falling in line.

Which was the exact point. Am I supposed to be impressed by a guy doing exactly what he is always done, except for one bad year? Oh. Ok. Wow. Amazing. We are as good as everyone else. We will be .500 in no time.

This is really what this victory lap is over? Getting a guy back to his career norms? Oh, ok. I guess when I read "fixed" it meant better than he had been, not the same. I guess that mean you "win" congratulations. And yes, it has become a cult. Disagree and the insults start flying, which is exactly what happened here. It turned from talking about a dudes stats to name-calling, and then you got mad when you got it back. You really are only allowed to have one opinion here anymore. Even sticking to stats it turned into this.

I bet about half of the league just called the Tigers about Skubal.

He put up almost the exact same season wide numbers. How is that unfair when compared to slicing out pieces that do work? We are looking at 79 ABs one season, 160 the next, which worked out almost identically overall, and you are mad we are not boiling it down even further to look only at one subset of his performance in which he put up 224/.290/.435/.726/, which is actually below his career line vs LHP with his .267/.357/.430/.787, and yet I am being unfair. This is turning into a cult.

Bonita's proposal revolved around the north end of town near the toll road.

Austin Slater, you know the last guy being discussed before the insults started.

Reality is going from an 2024 OPS+ of 98 to a 2025 of 100 is being "fixed", when he has a career average of.... wait for it... 100? His actual OPS was .721 with a career average of.... .720. Looks to me like they got exactly what they paid for to me, which is a good deal in recent years.

Jerry: Nods approvingly.

Go figure. Indiana popped up, and Illinois figured it out.

Mostly that you didn't really answer the question, you asked the question you wanted to answer, and answered it instead, after catching a tone about the question daring to be asked in the first place.

In a question asked about who they FIXED, you gave four guys that haven't yet taken a swing in anger for the Chicago White Sox.

Exploding like a virgin on prom night.

It'd be nice if one of these media types actually followed up with this question.

So are we seeing if he can do it, or is Chris having a senior moment?

Get that off-season talk, speculation and reports out here.

This thread will almost certainly be locked.

Is this an MLB deal? Not seeing any clear reporting. Hoping for an MiLB deal to get him to camp and hold another roster spot.

Wouldn't shock me if it happened before the season starts.

I don't even know that it is "part of the problem", but I do know it does nothing to move the needle with fans and attendance. "It's not that bad" Stadium does nothing for the White Sox.
