September 6th, 2019: The White Sox were officially eliminated from the playoffs. They're the first team eliminated this year.

Pittsburgh visited us with Joe Musgrove (7-8, 5.39 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) took on Tom Eshelman (1-4, 5.31 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) to open our homestand. We took the opener 4-3, as both teams recorded 10 hits.

Eshelman pitched fine, just 3 runs in 5.1 innings, but he allowed 7 hits and 2 walks with just 2 strikeouts. Kyle Barraclough got the win, piching parts of the 8th and the 9th, and Brad Brach finished the 9th to earn his 28th save.

Lewis Brinson was the only Marlins offensive starter without a hit. Joe Mauer, Charlie Tilson, and Brian Anderson all had a single and a double in 4 plate appearences. Tilson scored twice, Mauer once, and Anderson drove in a run. Tilson also stole a base, and Adeiny Hechavarria tripled. It was a nice way to start the series.

September 7th, 2019: Miguel Rojas rejoined the major league team. He was hitting .241/.282/.301 in AAA in 21 games. His MLB triple slash is very close, .233/.275/.301 in 72 games.

The Cardinals lossed Miles Mikolas for 10 months with a torn ulnar colateral ligament. His return to the MLB was not as expected, as he did not adjust back well.

Game two saw Charlie Morton (4-10, 6.53 ERA, 1.86 WHIP) and Colin McHugh (7-11, 5.02 ERA, 1.47 WHIP) duel it out. I looked at my defense breifly, all 9 starters are rated 60 or better at their position. I love that quality defense.

Game 2 was better then 1, as we won 9-3 with help from a 6 run 6th. McHugh pitched a much needed gem, 1 run in 6 innings off 5 hits, a walk, and 3 strikeouts. Yonny Chirinos pitched the last 3 and earned the save, despite allowing 2 runs off 6 hits.

We had 14 hits, and all the position players with an at bat got a hit. Drew Ward made his big league debut in a pinch hit situation, and walked. Nicky Delmonico and Brandon Lowe had 3 hits a piece. The former homered and drove in 4, the latter tripled and drove in 2. Lewis Brinson drove in two as well. Brian Anderson doubled and Charlie Tilson tripled in an offensive explosion.

September 8th, 2019: D.J. Peters made his way back to the big league roster. The power hitting outfielder hit 14 HR's and drove in 60 runs in AAA this season. He hit only 1 in 9 games in the bigs, but he's another solid option off the bench.

The Red Sox lost Rick Porcello for the year with a fractured elbow.

And the Dodgers are the first team to clinch a postseason birth. They're an insane 98-40 so far this season. Note: they've been without Clayton Kershaw for most of the season.

We looked to finish off the sweep with Adalberto Mejia (6-7, 3.80 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) taking on Jameson Taillon (6-7, 4.97 ERA, 1.53 WHIP). I gave Drew Ward the start at 3B today for his first career start. We would not have that luck, has 9 hits lead to 0 runs, as we lost the finale 2-0.

Mejia allowed both runs in his 5.2 innings of work. 7 hits, 1 walk, and 7 strikeouts rounded out his statline.

We didn't have any trouble hitting, but we couldn't hit when it counted. Ward did get his first career hit, a single off the starter Taillon. Delmonico had 3 hits, but was a much needed home run away from the cycle. Jett Bandy was the only other Marlin with a multiple hit game, 2 singles. Tilson did steal a base as well.

Looking ahead, we'd host the Cardinals for three with Michael Wacha (5-9, 4.07 ERA), Luke Weaver (7-8, 3.70 ERA), and Tanner Roark (8-9, 4.79 ERA) set to take the mound. Tommorow was also the last day of the minor league season, so I should have most of my callups ready for the 10th.

September 9th, 2019: We're up to 17th in the power rankings this week!

Zack Wheeler (7-10, 3.69 ERA, 1.25 WHIP) opened the series against Michael Wacha (5-9, 4.07 ERA, 1.38 WHIP).

Let's just say the putching was dominate. Wheeler only pitched 6.2 innings, but allowed just a single walk, run, and hit, while striking out 6. Heath Hembree shockingly allowed just 1 hit in 2.1 innings of work, and earned a strike out in the 8-1 win.

We only had 8 hits today, but we made them count. Lewis Brinson drove in 3 on a 2 out homer in the 4th inning. He scored twixe in the game. Brian Anderson and Luis Torrens had a pair of hits in 3 trips, both driving in 2. Anderson and Charlie Tilson doubled home runs.

Corey Seager has a 20 game hit streak, as the Dodgers beat the Rockies 7-5 in today's game.

September 10th, 2019: As noted, most of the minor league seasons ended today. AAA New Orleans and AA Jacksnoville both made the playoffs, but the lower levels were all finished so I could bring up the stragglers in my system. The callups were Brent Suter, Dillon Peters, Nick Rumbelow, Robert Gsellman, Jarlin Garcia, Raudy Read, and Braxton Lee. The only players on the 40-man roster missing from the active roster are the injured Jeff Hoffman and David Phelps. Hoffman is scheduled to be back in 3 days though.

The Dodgers officially clinched the West today as well.

Cody Anderson (3-4, 4.52 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) took the mound in game two against Luke Weaver (7-8, 3.70 ERA, 1.14 WHIP). Raudy Read got the start behind the plate.

Anderson was dominate, 8 innings of shutout ball. He allowed just 3 hits, a walk, and struck out 6 in a 7-0 victory.

We managed 14 hits, and all starters, even Cody Anderson who doubled, recorded a hit. Brian Anderson lead the way with 3 hits including a home run, one of 5 we hit in the game. Read, Brinson, Delmonico, and Tilson had the other homers.

D.J. Peters left with quadracep soreness, and would head to the DL for hopefully just the minimum 10 days.

Former Marlin Justin Bour had a 5-hit gameas the Cubs lost 7-6 to the Pirates. The 31-year-old is hitting .259/.368/.454 while coming off the bench with 11 homers and 33 RBI's.

James Paxton tossed a 4 hit shutout as the Mariners beat the Orioles 4-0.

September 11th, 2019: We looked to complete the sweep with Tom Eshelman (1-4, 5.28 ERA, 1.26 WHIP) on the mound facing Tanner Roark (8-9, 4.79 ERA, 1.43 WHIP). Would the Cardinals score today?

They did, and it was 7 runs. But luckily, we managed 9, and finished off the sweep. We've started our 9 game homestand 5-1!

The pitching wasn't great, as Eshelman allowed 4 in 5. The only other runs were charged to Kyle Barraclough, who allowed 3 in 0.2 innings. Mychal Givens got the win, and Brach got the save.

The offense was great, scoring 9 runs off 11 hits in tonight's game. Brandon Lowe, who's been absolutely raking, went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored, and a run driven in. Anthony Alford scored 3 times and recorded 2 hits, including a solo shot. Delmonico recorded 2 htis and 3 RBI's and Lewis Brinson doubled home a run.

This is the first time in a while I've happy with the team. It helps when you're playing bottom feeders.

And we'd see one more of those, as the 68-72 Marlins would face the 60-70 Cubs. I know it's a longshot, but we're just 8 games out of the Wild Card. We'd see Tyler Chatwood (8-13, 4.52 ERA), Yu Darvish (3-8, 6.47 ERA), and Kyle Hendricks (8-9, 4.81 ERA) as the northsiders came to town for four. Last 4 game series in Miami with the Cubs? Opening week last year. Maybe we can sweep them back and even the record once more.
