They rescheduled the game for September 1st? That seems rather extreme for a division opponent.

Yes, but it's more finicky. Play around with it and you'll get the hang of it after a bit.

Welcome, Jeremy! He's our draft specialist so expect to see his content ramp up over the next three months. He'll also be managing the draft tracker when that releases on draft day.

Just a tip but you can copy and paste tables from B-Ref directly into the site like this: Date Tm G GS GF CG Rslt Dec DR IP H R ER BB SO HR HBP ERA FIP BF BA OBP SLG OPS BAbip Pit Str StL StS GB FB LD PU Unk GSc IR IS SB CS PO AB 2B 3B IBB GDP SF ROE aLI WPA acLI cWPA RE24 DFS(DK) DFS(FD) Jul 9 to Oct 3, 2022 CIN 8 8 0 0 3-5 W-L:2-3 4.5 46.1 30 10 9 15 66 2 5 1.75 2.12 184 .185 .272 .259 .531 .292 768 67% 14% 18% 0.66 26% 9% 0 65 ---% 6 0 0 162 6 0 0 4 2 2 1.09 1.330 .01 0.00% 13.12 196.25 346.00 per 162 games 34 34 0 0 19 197 128 42 38 64 280 8 21 782 3264 38 0 26 0 0 688 26 0 0 17 8 8 5.7 0.0% 55.8 834 1470

Ooh, I didn't realize Hunter Greene was starting today. I have a slightly morbid curiosity in watching whether he ever puts his stuff together into a cohesive whole.

I just really dislike Eric Hosmer. Maybe it's irrational. (not personally, just as a player)

Even though he doesn't profile as a typical first baseman, I'd rather have Donovan Solano for $2m. He has a lot more positional versatility, too, and I think low-power, high-average players will play up a bit in 2023.

As long as they move on quickly if things go wrong, it won't be a disastrous move but for a team with payroll space and fringe competitor hopes, I feel they should aim higher in acquisitions. I wholly get and support the Mancini and Bellinger signings. They help the team get better and have trade upside should things go awry. Whereas I just don't "get" the Hosmer signing.

I get this but guys better than Hosmer were available for not much more money. In today's game, it costs mediocre reliever money to sign a stop-gap 1B/DH type, I simply don't see a need to drop down to Eric Hosmer levels, particularly a franchise with the payroll capacity of the Cubs.

Also, there are some truly weird badges hidden behind doing a string of things in a certain order. My personal favorite is the completely nonsensical badge "Repeal the Third Amendment". I can't recall why I created it but I'm pretty sure inebriation had to be involved in the process somewhere.

Nope, they're not tethered to anything, just a fun little thing that exists. Points are awarded for content, mostly, but also milestones. You get a couple of points for a post, ten for a blog post, one for receiving a reaction, etc. And then when you hit big milestones like 10,000 posts, you receive a big chunk of points, like 100 or so.

So as you do various things around the site, you'll receive notifications of various badges you earn. Some of them are pretty fun. A couple of notes: If you see Twins or Brewers mentions anywhere in achievements, please let me know. I tried to scrub all references of other sites but I may have missed something. Second, how do your post counts look now? Is everything accurate? If not, I'll dig into the issue more and try to resolve it.

Despite your bad experience, welcome to North Side Baseball anyway!

This so accurately sums up the Cubs lineup.

This solution isn't permanent, it's a byproduct of some back-end technical stuff not working properly yet.

Yeah, I have a pile of dark mode issues to work on. Unfortunately, I'm spending most of this week entertaining children on spring break instead of working but I might be able to whittle away at a few of the issues.

The Reds are a really bad baseball team.

Service time is still 15-ish days down to get a seventh year of control. And if the Cubs are playing Super Two shenanigans, which adds another 4-6 weeks to ensure a player doesn’t qualify, they can go straight to hell.

At least the top of the lineup should be pretty fun to watch this season.

And is literally anyone surprised by that? I like the risk on Bellinger and Mancini but don’t understand pursuing Hosmer.

Nice to see Bellinger get on the board.

You now have access.

I wanted to split this out into its own thread because it's something worth tracking as the weather warms. Given the constant race for velocity in baseball over the past 15-ish years, I'm interested to see if pitchers wear down a little more quickly this year and possibly lose a tick of velocity due to the much faster pace forced by the pitch clock. I'm skeptical this will happen but it'd be good for the sport if pitchers lost a mph or two over a season.

I have a ticket open to resolve this. Ads are also temporarily disabled for awhile as they work on some changes I submitted.

No changes but what you're describing is exactly what another user described to me a week ago, then it went away. There has to be something wrong with the asset delivery that I'm not experiencing and/or seeing. I'll work on it today.
