Last Week (7-0): 3-0 vs. MIL, 4-0 vs. LAD
With that said I'd like to list a few of the key acquisitions that I have made since taking over the team in October of 2013:
SS Brandon Crawford: .351/.427/.619 5 HR 14 RBI 15 RS (Acquired in trade that sent Ivan Nova to San Francisco)
1B Brett Wallace: .380/.434/.612 6 HR 19 RBI 25 RS (Acquired in trade that sent James McDonald to Houston)
SS Jed Lowrie: .256/.334/.432 15 HR 61 RBI 47 RS (Acqired in trade that sent Brandon McCarthy to White Sox)
C Austin Romine: .288/.338/.525 3 HR 11 RBI 8 RS (Signed as free agent)
SP A.J. Burnett: 6-0 71.1 IP 2.14 ERA 65 K's 1.09 WHIP (Signed as free agent)
SP Simon Castro: 9-3 117 IP 3.77 ERA 102 K's 1.19 WHIP (Signed as free agent)
SP Tim Lincecum: 6-8 139 IP 4.14 ERA 136 K's 1.47 WHIP (Signed as free agent)
CL Jhan Marinez: 8 SV 22.1 IP 0.40 ERA 22 K's 0.86 WHIP (Signed as free agent)
SU Iwane Innoue: 3 SV 72.2 IP 2.11 ERA 60 K's 1.07 WHIP (Signed as international free agent)
SU Daniel Ray Herrera: 12 SV 50.1 IP 2.68 ERA 39 K's 1.31 WHIP (Taken in the rule 5 draft)
And now with that said I'd like to make note of a terrible trade I made:
Alen Hansen (.269/.309/.491 13 HR 39 RBI 41 RS) and Michael McKenry (.286/.352/.498 17 HR 63 RBI 44 RS) to the Yankees for Ivan Nova (1-2 5.40 ERA 43.1 IP)
But ya win some ya lose some and so far the majority of the moves that I have made are paying huge dividends and I have to say I'm a little surprised but I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Last Week (7-0): 3-0 vs. MIL, 4-0 vs. LAD
- 8/4: MIL 1, PIT 2 - Burnett's stuff was superb today as he worked 8 innings allowing 1 ER and striking out 9. He also supplied a triple in the 3rd that he would score on. Marinez would get the last out of the 9th to earn his 6th save of the season.
- 8/5: MIL 0, PIT 3 - Liriano earned his 14th win of the season with a great start (7 IP 0 ER). Brandon Crawford led the offense going 2-3 with a HR and 2 RBI. Herrera worked the 9th inning for his 12th save of the season.
- 8/6: MIL 1, PIT 3 - Castro pitched well (7 IP 0 ER) earning his 9th win. Marte added to the victory going 1-3 with an RBI, RS and a SB as Marinez worked the 9th for his 7th save of the season.
- 8/7: LAD 3, PIT 4 - Wandy put together a quality start (6 IP 2 ER) to earn his 7th win of the season. A single by Alvarez and a sac fly from Lowrie put us ahead in the 6th. Marinez recorded the final 2 outs for his 7th save.
- 8/8: LAD 2, PIT 3 - Lincecum was stellar (7 IP 1 ER) but Herrera would give up the lead in the 8th on a solo HR by Matt Kemp. Innoue shut them down the rest of the way until Mr. Clutch Jed Lowrie hit a walk off RBI single with 2 out in the bottom of the 9th.
- 8/9: LAD 1, PIT 2 - It was a pitcher's duel between Burnett (7.1 IP 1 ER) and Capuano (6 IP 0 ER) that would eventually lead to a battle of the bullpens which we would win as Alvarez hit a walk off solo shot off of Rex Brothers with 2 outs in the bottom of the 11th.
- 8/10:LAD 1, PIT 8 - Liriano earned his 15th win of the season with a solid start (7.1 IP 1 ER) and we beat up the Dodgers staff with 8 runs on 9 hits. Brandon Crawford broke the game open with a 3 run HR in the 3rd after coming in for Neil walker who left the game in the 2nd after being hit by a pitch.
- Neil Walker was diagnosed with a fractured finger and will be out for 5 weeks. Ryan Roberts was recalled from AAA Indianapolis.
