As fans we need to readjust of thinking about Rockies pitchers. A 5.00 ERA in Colorado is good. But we've been "taught" as baseball fans that a 5.00 ERA is bad, which it is any for any normal ballpark.
Also, the Rockies' problems is their offense. There offense has never been good enough. This may sound strange but let me explain. No matter how good the rockies pitchers are, they will always have a 5.00+ team ERA, even if they had five Randy Johnsons. In there 11 year history the Rockies have averaged 861 runs scored and 907 runs allowed per season. Only once have they allowed less than 800 runs in a season, scoring 783 runs in 1995, which also happens to be the only year they have made the postseason.
Using the Expected Wins formula (created by Bill James, DK )we can estimate how many runs the rockies would need to reach 90 wins or 95 wins or 100 wins.
The all time single season scoring record is 1067. So the Rockies need to have an all-time great offense just to get to 90 wins. If their pitching has a REALLY good year and say they only allow 800 runs then they would need
Can you imagine what Honus Wagner would hit in Coors Field?!! Let me go check some of my Bill James books. I'll bet good ole Bill knows!!!!
If there wasn't a pesky little detail about slugging %, then you would be ok. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that little detail is going to be used against you in the debate. I'd like to have seen how you responded to it.
We can discuss it after the debate is over if you wish.

Now that wouldn't be any fun.

England's Worcester Canoe Club set the world record for paddling a hand-propelled bathtub. The 25 man team covered a distance of 55 miles, 425 yards in 24 hours on September 28 and 29, 1979.

Wait...didn't I use that already?
Nope. There is a very interesting fact about Wagner that leads to his slugging percentage being skewed and you haven't come close to using it yet.
