    Just be forewarned, NSBB went through a big new transition just a couple of weeks ago but we're a GREAT place to talk Cubs. It's a moderated forum that prioritizes smart discussion over flame-throwing... but our game threads are slow right now. We're working on it but please check out the Cubs forum as well and contribute!

    That's outstanding! Thank you for registering and welcome to NSBB!

    Welcome to the site! Are you an old member re-registering or completely new?

    Wikipedia is amazing. So I decided to go back and check to see if the Browns were as bad as I think they were. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Browns This is a line from the page: "As of April 2023, there are only three living former St. Louis Browns players: Billy Hunter, Ed Mickelson, and Frank Saucier." Someone in the world is out there updating the Wiki page for the St Louis Browns. In the past 18 days.

    Fans are rightly pissed off at the franchise. The modern A's are doing a hell of a job of impersonating the St Louis Browns.

    I get that and that's the obvious difference but stuff like the xwOBA still seems extreme even if you balance out the reduction in Ks but also the reduction in exit velo. Those two should cancel each other out, at least somewhat. And then you're still left with an xwOBA much higher than last season. Still confused.

    I think the Cubs’ path to the postseason is through St Louis. I know it’s often foolish to underrate the Cards but their pitching staff is shaky af and Arenado/Goldschmidt are almost a given to decline YoY. They were too good last year and are too old for that to happen again. I think the Brewers are pretty legit but losing Woodruff could seriously hamper them long-term if Houser can’t come back and be even somewhat effective. But they have *a ton* of good positional prospects in or near MLB.

    Are the Cubs winning yet?

    Before the season I had them at 77-78 wins. Maybe I bump that a game now but not enough to really matter. So pretty much the same as before.

    Catching up on last night's game and the A's are somehow worse than I thought they were.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    I simply don't get the third catcher thing. I didn't understand it 15 years ago when the Twins did it constantly and I sure as hell don't get it today when benches are shorter because bullpens are longer.

    I thought "Maybe StatCast has the answers! Off to Baseball Savant I go!" Narrator: "StatCast did not, in fact, have the answers, and Brock left more confused than he entered."

    Eight home runs with a 1.139 OPS.
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    Playing the A's is fun! (provided you don't actually have to sit in their stadium) The pitching and hitting advantage couldn't be more in favor of the Cubs tonight, which reduces their chance of winning to 40%, tops.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    I choose Mancini every time. And he’s a platoon for Mervis.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    Slightly subpar. No more than 74 wins, I think.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    He’s not a good announcer.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, almost no one has Buxton’s speed and defense. It’s a shame people don’t get to see a healthy version of him more often.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I thought about that but ultimately, a spade needs to be called a spade. And the A’s are HORRIBLE.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    This is correct.

    Hey now, the tracker is barely finished and launched and it's already listed on the third page of googling "cubs top prospects". Lots of work to do there but the tracker is one of the ways we bring in new users.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    You suckas do. We hold a vote every 6-ish weeks.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    If the Cubs are close to .500 after that stretch, they should be all in. Yikes. That's brutal.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    It's a somewhat arbitrary number, really. Should it be 48 games? 60 games? *shrugs* And I think some teams are just going to play more/less of those "bucket" games in any given season. Did the 2022 Dodgers *really* automatically lose 54 games? I mean, obviously not... they didn't even lose 54 games. Bad teams won't automatically win 54. Great teams won't automatically lose 54. And to your point, I suspect those 78-84 win teams largely thrive or decline based playing more of those bucket games and winning/losing them...
