April 10th, 2020: Sean Newcomb (0-0, 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP) and the Braves were in town as Zach Davies (1-0, 1.80 ERA, 1.60 WHIP) toed the rubber. 1B Chris Shaw got his first start as a Madlin today. The home opener did not go as planned, as we were blasted 12-1.

Davies allowed 5 in 5.1 off 7 hits, a walk, and a strike out. Kevin Chapman gave up 2 in 1 inning, and David Phelps 5 off 6 hits in 1.2 innings of work.

We only managed 5 hits as a team. Teoscar Hernandez was 2-for-4 with a double, while Brandon Lowe doubled and walked in two at bats. Tomorrow's game must be better then today's.

April 11th, 2020: The Braves, who lost A.J. Minter a few days ago, added Zach Britton to their pen on a 1-year, $26,000,000 contract. A hefty price to pay for such a short term contract. We may see him in the series.

Looking to bounce back from yesterday's game and his last start, Colin McHugh (0-1, 16.20 ERA, 2.70 WHIP) was on the mound against Luiz Gohara (1-0, 3.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP).

McHugh was roughed up again, allowing 5 in 5 as we lost tonight's game 9-2. He walked 4 and struck out just 2 in another rough outing. Drew Steceknrider allowed 3 in 1.1 innings, while Trevor Rosenthal allowed the 9th run in 0.2 innings. Brian Duensing tossed 2 solid innings to end the game.

We hit a slight bit better, but our whole offense was Nicky Delmonico's 2 run homer in the 1st. Him and Hernandez also doubled. Lewis Brinson has been ice cold, as he went 0-for-4, dropping his average down to .133. He's one of 4 starter hitting below the Mendoza line to start the campaign.

Speaking on Delmonico, although early, he's tied for 2nd in the NL with homers (3) and RBI's (10).

April 12th, 2020: Brandon Kintzler was diagnosed with a rotator cuff strain, and will head to the 10-Day DL. He's expected to miss 5-6 weeks. Replacing him on the active roster will be John Curtiss. In just 1 AAA outing, he earned a save and struck out 2 in 0.2 innings.

We looked to avoid the sweep with Zack Wheeler (0-1, 3.86 ERA, 1.50 WHIP) taking on Max Fried (0-0, 0.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP). This game went 12 innings, but we eventually salvaged the finale 4-3, despite being out hit 11 to 9.

All three runs were charged to Wheeler, who went 5.2 innings, allowing 8 hits, walking none, and striking out 7. The rest of the pen combined for 6.1 shutout innings, with newcomer Curtiss pitching a perfect frame, and Phelps picking up the win.

Zach Britton made his Braves debut, a scorless 9th inning where he struck out two and allowed 1 hit. The starter Fried left after just 1 inning, as the Braves wait his diagnosis.

The 9 hits were concentrated in the 2 through 6 spot, with Hernandez leading the way with 3. He was a triple away from the cycle. Brinson hit his 2nd homer of the game in a 2-for-5 effort. Delmonico added 2 hits of his own, along with another RBI.

Tomorrow was an off day before we'd host division rival Phialdelphia for three.

April 13th, 2020: As the season hasn't started how we wanted it, we're ranked 18th in the Power Rankings to start the new season.

The Nationals Adam Eaton is working on a nice 20 game hit streak as he recorded a hit against his former team the White Sox. He's hitting an unsustainable .382 to start 2020.

At 4-5, we'd host the 5-4 Phillies who are a game behind the Braves. We'd see Aaron nola (2-0, 1.46 ERA), Nathan Eovaldi (1-1, 5.40 ERA), and Vince Velasquez (0-2, 6.30 ERA).

April 14th, 2020: Marcus Stroman (1-0, 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) opened the series against the always dangerous Aaron Nola (2-0, 1.46 ERA, 1.14 WHIP). Tyler Flowers caught Stroman again today. We tried coming back, scoring 2 in the 9th, but we fell 4-2.

Stroman pitched well, going 7 innings, allowing just 4 hits, 2 runs, 3 walks, and he struck out 2. Rosenthal and Nick Rumbelow allowed a solo homer each in 1 inning of work.

We managed just 4 hits and Lewis Brinson left the game with a strained rib cage muscle. He'd be sent to the Disabled List for hopefully the minimum. The injury occured when doubling in the 7th inning.

Charlie Tilson, his replacement, hit a pinch hit 2-run homer for the only runs of the game, driving in the 1B Delmonico.

April 15th, 2020: D.J. Peters earned the callup and will temporarily be our 4th outfielder. He hasn't hit the best in AAA in 6 games, but I didn't want to bring up someone who wasn't on the 40.

Game two saw Nathan Eovaldi (1-1, 5.40 ERA, 1.11 WHIP) duel Jordan Montgomery (0-1, 2.31, 1.11 WHIP). Our new starting LF Charlie Tilson hit 8th. He's 2-for-5 to start the year.

We were helpless today, falling 8-1. Montgomery lasted just 2 innings, allowing 4 runs off 4 hits with just 1 strike out. Phelps allowed 1 in 2.2 innings of mop up, Chapman allowed 3 off 4 hits in 1.1 inning, but Steckesaurus tossed 3 scorless innings, tallying 4 strike outs and allowing just a single hit.

We had just 6 hits, hilghlighted by Brian Anderson and Anthony Alford doubles. Tilson went 2-for-3 and drove in the only run of the game, scoring the catcher Victor Caratini on a single in the 2nd. The homestand hasn't started how we wanted it to.

Max Scherzer tossed a 3-hit shutout as the Nationals barley beat the Braves 1-0. Eaton's hit streak was stopped at 21.

The Yankees Tyler Wade went 5-for-6 as the Yankees beat the Orioles 17-7.

And finally, Zack Greinke won his 200th career ball game as the Diamondbacks topped the Dodgers 8-1.

April 16th, 2020: We looked to avoid the sweep as Zach Davies (1-1, 5.23 ERA, 1.55 WHIP) took on Vince Velasquez (0-2, 6.30 ERA, 1.50 WHIP). D.J. Peters got the start in left.

Davies was brilliant, pitching 7 scorless while allowing just 4 hits. He did walk 5 and strike out just 4, so he wasn't perfect, but it was enough for the 2-0 win to end the series. Brad Brach got his first save of the year with a perfect 9th.

We only had 3 hits, a Nicky Delmonico single and a pair of doubles from Caratini and Alford. Alford had a steal and scored the final run on a Brandon Lowe sac fly, while Delmonico scored on Caratini's double. Caratini is loving Miami, hitting a nice .324/.390/.459 after having a rough 2019, albeit just 14 at bats, with the Cubs in a cup of coffee last season. He's also shown great strides defensively.

Our homestand wasn't over, as we'd host the Nats for three more before heading to Cincinnati to take on the Reds for 4.

At 5-7, we'd face the 6-6 Nationals next who would throw a pair of former Orioles southpaws Paul Fry (1-1, 3.60 ERA) and Wei-Yin Chen (0-1, 5.40 ERA), as well as Alex Balog (1-0, 1.84 ERA).
