August 16th, 2019: Francisco Liriano's career ended today, as the 35-year-old tore his UCL and decided to call it quits.

Bruce Suter (4-3, 4.63 ERA, 1.59 WHIP) took on Yu Darvish (0-6, 7.91 ERA, 1.66 WHIP) in the opener. They were begging us to win...

Yu Darvish pitched 6 shut out and we lost 5-0... I think I'm going to throw my computer...

Suter pitched himself out of the rotation, allowing 5 in 5 off 6 hits, a walk, and 6 strikeouts. I really didn't know who I'd call up to replace him...

Teoscar Hernandez had 3 of our 6 hits. He doubled, the only extra base hit of the game.

I might have found the rotatio replacements on waivers, either Cody Anderson or Matt Boyd. They both clear tommorow, so I took the gamble on grabbing Cody Anderson. He's 3-2 with a 4.27 ERA and 1.23 WHIP this year. He's got pinpoint control, and is worth taking a flyer on.

August 17th, 2019: The claim went through, and I added Anderson to the active roster, while optioning Suter down to AAA.

Chris Sale finally fell to the Mets pitching curse, tearing his ACL and ending his season. He was having a great year, 7-3 with a 2.28 ERA in 21 starts. The Twins also lossed rookie Thomas Hackimer for the year with a torn labrum.

Colin McHugh (6-8, 4.62 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) took on Kyle Hendricks (7-7, 4.58 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) in game 2. We needed a win so, so bad. 11 spread out runs generally does that for you.

Here's the breakdown: 2 off Hendricks, 2 off Dillon Maples, 2 off ex-Marlin Adam Warren, 3 off Tommy Hunter, and 2 off Chasen Bradford.

McHugh allowed 3 in 6 with 7 hits, 1 walk, and 3 strike outs, while picking up the win. Mychael Givens still sucks, allwoing 2 runs in the 9th off 2 hits and a walk. He did, however, strike out the side.

We had 11 hits, and a lot of them were out of the park. Jett Bandy and Adeiny Hechavarria had 3 hits a piece. Bandy hit 2 homes, and Hech hit his 2nd homer of the year. He also doubled. Bandy scored and drove in 3 runs, while Hech scored twice and drove in just 1. Ian Kinsler homered as well, while Brinson doubled. Both scored once and drove in 2. All hitters expect Alford and Mauer had hits and RBI's, although both walked and scored at least one. Spark or outlier? Let's hope for spark!

I was down a reliever though, as David Phelps is headed to the DL with a mild shoulder strain. Righty John Curtiss earned the callup.

The Rays Matt Duffy got a hit, raising his hit streak to 20.

August 18th, 2019: Cody Anderson (3-2, 4.27 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) made his Marlins debut in the season finale against the lefty Patrick Corbin (7-8, 5.23 ERA, 1.43 WHIP). Real life 2018 has done so much better then 2019 OOTP universe Corbin.

Anderson allowed 3 in 7, and picked up the loss as we fell 3-1. He allowed 8 hits and a walk, while striking out 3. Kyle Barraclough struck out the side in the 8th.

We did manage 8 hits, three courtesy of Kinsler. Hernandez and Brinson had two each, while Tyler Saladino had the last one. Kinsler doubled twice, while Saladino tripled.

Our upcoming opponent Kolten Wong had a 5-for-6 hit in a Missouri battle between the Cardinals and the Royals. They won 8-1. We were on the way to St. Louis, where we'd face Luke Weaver (5-7, 3.95 ERA), Tanner Roark (6-8, 4.91 ERA), Carlos Martinez (5-12, 6.59 ERA), and Michael Wacha (4-8, 4.09 ERA).

August 19th, 2019: Down all the way to 24th in the Power Rankings, we needed to sweep all four, but we'd still be 2 games behind .500. Maybe it's too late for this season...

Zack Wheeler (6-8, 3.36 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) opened the series against Luke Weaver (5-7, 3.95 EAR, 1.17 WHIP). We scored 5 in the 9th, but it wasn't enough as we lossed 7-5.

Wheeler allowed 4 in 4 innings off 5 hits, 3 walks, and 4 strike outs. Jeremy Gabryszwski allowed 3 runs in 2 innings off 4 hits, 2 walks, but struck out 3. I'd replace him too, but I don't really have any players left to call up...

Jett Bandy drove in 4 in the 9th with a 2 out grand slam. He also doubled in the 5th. Ian Kinsler had another 3 hits game, scoring and driving in a run. I think it's on to next year...

August 20th, 2019: Tom Eshelman (0-3, 5.27 ERA, 1.10 WHIP) took the mound against Tanner Roark (6-8, 4.91 ERA, 1.41 WHIP). Hopefully this is his last start, as Hoffman should start today in the GCL today as well.

20 hits and 14 runs lead to a nice 14-2 victory over the Cards. Eshelman went just 5, allowing 7 hits and 2 runs. He walked 1 and struck out 5. Mychal Givens rebounded, recording a 4 out save with just 1 hit and 2 strikeouts. I was impressed with the outing.

Joe Mauer, Nicky Delmonico, and Ian Kinsler were all triples away from the cycle. Delmonico drove in 5 and scored twice, the other two scored once and drove in three. Charlie Tilson had a trio of singles with 3 scored and 1 driven in. Teoscar Hernandez, however, was the star of the night, hitting 5 singles, scoring 3 times, and driving in 2. It was a crazy games, but all good things have bad sides...

Lewis Brinson sprained his ankle and left in the 5th. Luckily, it's minor, and he'll miss about a week. I placed him on the DL, and would make a callup tommorow.

Matt Duffy's hit streak was ended at 21.

And Hoffman pitched and got injured, again, so despite no diagnosis, I just placed him on the DL. Eshelman may have lucked out...

August 21st, 2019: Hoffman has a bone spur in his elbow, and will miss about 3-4 weeks.

I brought Magneuris Sierra to the majors to replace Brinson. He was hitting .312/.366/.410 with 9 steals and 25 RBI's in 50 games. He'd function as the 4th outfielder.

Adalberto Mejia (4-7, 3.88 ERA, 1.26 WHIP) took on Carlos Martinez (5-12, 6.59 ERA, 1.51 WHIP) for game 3. The game went 11 innings, and we came out on top 4-3.

Mejia allowed 3 in 5.1 innings, off 7 hits and 4 walks. He struck out 5. The pen then combined for 5.2 scorless from Drew Steckenrider, Barraclough, Curtiss, Brach, and Kevin Chapman. Brach got the win, Chapman the save.

Shockingly, Luis Torrens lead the hit parade with 3, including a solo shot. Ryon Healy hit a pinch-hit one as well. Mejia hit his 2nd double of the year, while Anthony Alford hit his 21st. Hernandez was still hot, 2-for-5 with a triple and RBI. Him and Tilson both stole bases. Another nice win, as we could win the series tommorow.

August 22nd, 2019: The Rangers will be without Mike Minor for the rest of the year with a partially torn UCL. He had a bounce back season last year in the rotation, making 33 starts, and he had 7 solid ones this year as well.

Colin McHugh (7-8, 4.61 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) took on Michael Wacha (4-8, 4.09 ERA, 1.38 WHIP). Could we win the series? Stay tuned!

Spoiler Alert: Nope... We dropped the finale 11-6.

McHugh gave up 5 in 3 and picked up the loss. Steck shockingly allowed 4 runs in the 8th, his ERA now up to 2.28, perhaps the first time all year with it above 2.00.

Jett Bandy hit a solo shot in the 9th, while Ian Kinsler, Teoscar Hernandez, and Anthony Alford all doubled. Kinsler drove in 2 (he struck out 4 times), and 1B Joe Mauer drove in 3. Nicky Delmonico was the only Marlin with more then 1 hit, 2-for-3 with 2 walks and a run scored. Adeiny Hechavarria was the only Marlin hitter without a hit, even pinch hitters Tyler Saladino and Magneruius Sierra (his first career hit!) got hits in one trip.
