• Yeah that was very disappointing. Not sure if he would have gotten Peralta even if Gomes didn't try for a piggy back ride/leap frog/WWE move but it would have been close.

  SodoMojoDojo on April 21, 2023 4:51 PM

• Haha, yeah everything ok. A little bummed on how Smiley's perfect game ended though.

  Winnetka Cubs on April 21, 2023 4:42 PM

• Hey Winnetka, are you and your loved ones ok? Wisdom just launched a nuke in Wrigleyville

  SodoMojoDojo on April 21, 2023 3:44 PM

• Ditto! …ugh!

  Region Rats on April 21, 2023 3:21 PM

• I was getting all excited over Bellinger's and Mancini's home runs just now and then remembered I have Urias going in three leagues, doh!

  Winnetka Cubs on April 21, 2023 3:18 PM

• I definitely get to a point where if a guy has been through 5 or 6 dominant innings, I would rather not see him come back out to avoid the late-game blowup and just bank the points they've already put up.

  Flying Squirrels on April 20, 2023 2:34 PM

• And now a nasty liner off Maeda's leg, didn't look good.

  SodoMojoDojo on April 20, 2023 2:04 PM

• The Twins getting a big boost to their lineup this week with Kepler, Gallo, Polanco and Kirilloff coming back.

  Winnetka Cubs on April 20, 2023 9:04 AM

• I have the same dreadful feelings as well. I was actually happy last night when Scherzer got pulled from the game for having sticky substance on his hand. It is always in the 5th-7th innings where your SP is having a great game but gives up that home run that knocks down your points.

  Winnetka Cubs on April 20, 2023 8:45 AM

• I’ve had an embarrassing number of times imploring the manager to pull my pitcher when I clearly see disaster looming. Invariably he does not. Totally get it

  Lowertown Landing on April 19, 2023 3:49 PM

• I wish there was a feature where if you start a guy you can pull him from "your" lineup even if the MLB manager hasn't pulled him yet. I think most people could have told you if Turnbull made it through 5 innings unscathed you should consider that a big win and pull him. Would absolutely not have let him see the third time through the order in the 6th. So frustrating when we have to pay for bad management/misuse in real life.

  SodoMojoDojo on April 19, 2023 2:35 PM

• I do think the Cubs will be better than I initially thought, but will still be right at .500 give or take 5 games on either side. I still think there is a very good chance they fall just under .500

  Flying Squirrels on April 19, 2023 10:38 AM

• Squirrels, you are smarter than that.

  Winnetka Cubs on April 18, 2023 8:21 PM

• I'm getting a little more antsy for more pitching so if you don't like what you see let me know.

  SodoMojoDojo on April 18, 2023 7:06 PM

• Clarke Schmidt gets one more shot with the Region Rats tonight (...It worked for you Winnetka)

  Region Rats on April 18, 2023 3:05 PM

• I still think that.

  Flying Squirrels on April 18, 2023 1:10 PM

• "Also think Cubs will still be under .500 this year"

  Winnetka Cubs on April 18, 2023 1:04 PM

• Wesneski survives.

  Winnetka Cubs on April 18, 2023 1:04 PM

• So I just tuned in to check out how the Padres game was going and got such a kick out of the sheer irony of a personal injury lawyer advertisement targeting people injured in motorcycle accidents...

  SodoMojoDojo on April 17, 2023 11:02 PM

• I like to think of the Winnetka manager handing him the baseball and telling him, "No pressure, Hayden, but after tonight we'll now if you're really a Winnetka Cub or if it's time to send you to the glue factory. Good luck, kid."

  Bazton Stranglers on April 17, 2023 10:06 AM

• Oooh a make or break start, I like it! He really seems like he should be better than his results thus far.

  SodoMojoDojo on April 17, 2023 9:52 AM

• Wesneski gets one more shot with the Winnetka Cubs tonight.

  Winnetka Cubs on April 17, 2023 8:02 AM

• He is horrible in the field. Dalbec is tall and stiff and btw, the first grounder to short Dalbec had to move to his left just a bit and he didn't get his glove down far enough and booted it for an error.

  Winnetka Cubs on April 12, 2023 7:19 PM

• He has no business playing shortstop for a major league team. It would be one thing if he was actually a good hitter.

  Flying Squirrels on April 12, 2023 7:07 PM

• WTF is Joey Cora thinking? Bobby Dalbec at SS?!?!?!?!?!?

  Winnetka Cubs on April 12, 2023 6:55 PM

• Yeah glad to be off to a good start, but I know for the top teams some negative regression will eventually be coming and for the bottom teams some positive regression will be coming as well. Looking forward to the marathon this summer. Biggest hope is just for everyone to stay healthy!

  SodoMojoDojo on April 3, 2023 9:47 AM

• At least I got to positive points in pitching after yesterday. Rough start of the year for the Winnetka Cubs and a nice start for Buxton and Slobberpuss.

  Winnetka Cubs on April 2, 2023 8:50 AM

• AL winners: Toronto, Minnesota, Houston
  NL winners: Atlanta, St Louis, San Diego
  Playoffs are so unpredictable. Toronto would be my pick though.

  Lowertown Landing on March 29, 2023 4:29 PM

• Yeah if I deviated a bit from you I'd say Yankees, Twins, M's in the AL and Braves, Brewers, Padres in the NL. WC not really sure, maybe Astros, Rays and Blue Jays and in the NL maybe Dodgers, Cards and Phillies.

  SodoMojoDojo on March 29, 2023 3:32 PM

• Also think Cubs will still be under .500 this year

  Flying Squirrels on March 29, 2023 12:01 PM

• Love the picks, I'm going with:
  
  Toronto
  Cleveland
  Houston (though I hope it is Seattle and think it will be close)
  WC teams: Seattle, New York, Los Angeles
  
  Atlanta
  Milwaukee
  San Diego
  WC teams: Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Mets
  
  WS who knows but I'll say Atlanta over Seattle

  Flying Squirrels on March 29, 2023 12:00 PM

• I almost picked the Cubs for the division.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 29, 2023 1:11 AM

• Division winners:
  
  Toronto
  Minnesota
  Seattle
  
  Atlanta
  Milwaukee
  LA Dodgers
  
  Toronto beats the Dodgers for the World Series
  
  Not very confident in the WS prediction.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 29, 2023 1:10 AM

• NM, wrong league.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 28, 2023 1:44 PM

• Griz, I think you have to pick Reyes up for the sixth time just for nostalgia sake.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 28, 2023 1:43 PM

• I wonder what is the mean/median of all pro level bats and all pro level pitchers from past year that miss 50%+ games the following year. This year does seem abnormal so far. I’m sorry to teams effected, but am glad to be rebuilding

  Chicago Beanes on March 24, 2023 9:42 AM

• Lucky that Badoo has nice depth at 1B.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 24, 2023 8:45 AM

• Now Hoskins tore his ACL and likely out for the year. These early injuries to studs are just no fun.

  SodoMojoDojo on March 23, 2023 8:35 PM

• Yeah apparently he has worked to develop more power and could be a really solid bat. But he's not replacing Bo or Chapman and it's hard to see him playing 2B much with Whit, Espinal and Biggio on the roster as well.

  SodoMojoDojo on March 22, 2023 7:31 PM

• Addison Barger is a nice stash. I watched a few Blue Jay spring training games this year. Problem for Barger, no where to play.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 22, 2023 6:05 PM

• Greg Amsinger host of MLB Tonight at times. He is on a lot, such a dork.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 22, 2023 1:22 PM

• At least they don’t have “hall of famer” Tim Kurkjian

  Chicago Beanes on March 22, 2023 9:39 AM

• Was John Smoltz talking?

  Flying Squirrels on March 22, 2023 9:33 AM

• I put on the MLB channel on this morning, I wanted to vomit.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 22, 2023 8:04 AM

• That was pretty wild to see Ohtani vs. Trout to finish the WBC Championship. Now if only the Angels would use Ohtani as a closer out of the pen between starts on his normal bullpen day!

  SodoMojoDojo on March 21, 2023 10:47 PM

• Happened in the WBC. Hit by a pitch right on the hand and fractured his thumb.

  Flying Squirrels on March 21, 2023 8:57 AM

• I have not been doing a good job keeping up on Spring Training this year, this is the first I have heard of Altuve's injury.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 21, 2023 8:51 AM

• With Altuve now down for a couple of months I'm open to listening to offers on him. WBC has been fun but these injuries to guys like Diaz and Altuve really suck lol

  SodoMojoDojo on March 19, 2023 11:01 PM

• Although I have Diaz in two leagues, I would love to see the Mets fall apart.

  Winnetka Cubs on March 18, 2023 11:16 PM

• Edwin Díaz torn patellar tendon, out for season. That sucks... one of the funnest pitchers to watch in the game right now. Mets need to start keeping their players in padded rooms.
