The slide in Chicago continues...another sub .500 sim. Still in the hunt though!

Was away with the family for the weekend and Monday...will get back on track for Thursdays sim.

Lost 2 of 3 vs Madison and got swept by YS9

Man I would have loved to have added Ritchie to my lineup but it wasn't meant to be.

One thing I've noticed is both guys really struggling have a very high BIBIP and a much lower FIP. So I have to assume my defense is sucking at the moment right?

We all know pitching wins championships right? Well, thus far into the 2018 season the Chicago Black Sox starting pitching is no where near championship form. Through 46 games the Sox starters have posted a 4.99 ERA good for 2nd to last in the Johnson League. However the team sits 10 games over .500...

We're hanging in there despite some really poor starting pitching (4.99 ERA). Gotta figure that will turn around at some point I hope.

Stuart narrowly edged out Halifax's Juan Garcia for this award in large part thanks to Stuart's 18 RBI effort in sim 3. Those 18 RBI are a season high for a sim at this early juncture of the year.

Well, as a peace offering I'll admit that I'm so impressed by what Kershaw is doing that I plan on going to a Dodgers game to see him next year. The real question is UCLA, USC, or neither?

UCLA all the way! I'm a happy camper this morning

My first draft in the Brewster. Just joining and being thrown into the fire. Here's how it went (the more I reflect on it, it didn't go well) 1st round, 18th overall - CF Thomas Phillips - Hit .406 in his 2 seasons at Kodak College. Showed very little power in college, as he only collected 26 EBH in...

I voted...in the same boat as Blue but I think I did alright

7-3 start...i'll take that all day!

Great preview...thanks for doing these. Helps a newb like myself learn a little more about the league!

Update...will ship prospects for an upgrade in offense. After looking at my team some more that seems to be the weak spot. So if youre rebuilding and have a legit upgrade for me, hit me up.

Thanks

Is there any reason to have players in the fall league right now? Just trying to set up my minors for opening day.

Thanks.
