If you're applauding Hartley because he was the reason his coach came over to help Backlund, that is just silly and you know it.

Why did he have to seek help from outside the organization in the first place?

Use your head.

Backlund's advanced stats have always been very good. The benching is not that cause of this effect. It's regression toward the mean.

Hartley's benching inspired Backlund to take the extra step to improve his game. If you want to add your own fantasy version to the mix, so be it, but I'm going to stick with the facts.

Does it cause you physical pain to give Hartley credit, or is the anguish you experience just mental?
