Welcome!

Thank you! I was surprised to know that I already have an nsbb account from years ago. The site looks improved since last time I visited. Really goes to show how PSD has been neglected

It's going to take forever to initiate all the new members in classic NSBB style.

The same reason anyone would, and the same reason I also consistently mention the position, the big drop flyball rates, and his debut. They have their place in the conversation just as his latest and greatest AAA wRC+ and 2022 GB rates did. Since April people have been banging for this drum for this guy, declaring him Ready, he got the opportunity, he didn't take the opportunity, and now it's not enough opportunity. As if they've written him out of the last 68(!!!!!!) games (plus playoffs since it's a 50 team field or so these days) or the org forever. Meanwhile Mancini's taking bullets for him as if it's his fault Mervis couldn't take the job when he could have

It's all fun and games when they're prospects and it's Future and Potential and Ceiling, but horsefeathers got real. Call me mad, crazy, yada yada, but I'm not exactly being rude, unbecomin, hot take-y, or even really demanding to think the 25 YO Top Prospect @ 1B/DH should hit (hit as in hit, not get fed ABs because the fans voted him into the lineup or something) when called up. The job was his to lose during that window in time

You’re certifiable.

@Brock Beauchamp or someone should create a Welcome post for PSDers.  I just checked out their forum and seems like a lot are coming over.  Might be good for them to feel at home before they jump into a thread and read one of our many arguments between people who have been bickering at each other for years like the one above this post.

Funny, I just PMed a user about this. Can you PM me a quick rundown of the situation over there? Obviously, we welcome any and all, I just want to have a bit of awareness of what's happening. Thanks!

Where are we going to find enough thick onion gravy, jorts and black guys to give all the new people?

Never mind, I see that it's being talked about in this thread!

Check the back seat of your car for thick onion gravy.

Yeah, that stuff is noise. CubinNY is actually one of my fav posters on the site! I just get a little hot about free ML PAs to prospects for being prospects, popular moves that aren’t thoroughly/obviously good moves, and the Cubs being consistently terrible at things the top teams do (throw hard, hit flyballs)

Oh no, I was talking about PSD. I know you two jackals like to poke at each other. 😄

I saw somewhere today that the Cubs have only ever gone 10 games below .500 and then come all the way back to .500 in their history.

Both other times, they reached .500 again at exactly 51-51.

 

That's incredibly weird.

The way this thread managed to cling to relevance so long has been fun.

This season has been so freaking weird.

[UMFan83]

Remember the poll was for when the Cubs went over .500 again. Still one more hill to climb!

[UMFan83]

STOP THE COUNT

At 9:59pm CST on 7/28/23, the Cubs went back over .500
