August 15th, 2019: We opened the four game set with the Astros in a nice ace-off: Aaron Sanchez (8-6, 2.86 ERA, 0.97 WHIP) against Lance McCullers Jr. (6-8, 4.14 ERA, 1.39 WHIP). Tied at 1, the game was force to go into extras. In the 10th, Marwin Gonzalez hit a two run homer off Zach Britton, and the Astros took the opener 3-1.

Sanchez was great, 8 innings with 3 hits, a run, walk, and 7 strikeouts. Britton pitched 1.1 innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 runs, and he struck out 2.

Anthony Alford was 2-for-4 with a double, RBI, and walk. Victor Reyes was 2-for-3 with a walk and run scored. Both Chnace Sisco and Nolan Arenado were 1-for-4 with walks and doubles.

Mariners SP Mike Foltynewicz tossed a 6-hit shut out in a 8-0 win over the Angels.

August 16th, 2019: Game two saw Shelby Miller (9-7, 3.60 ERA, 1.31 WHIP) take on Gerrit Cole (7-10, 5.21 ERA, 1.34 WHIP). We got three early runs, and never gave up the lead, winning 6-3.

Miller got the win, 6 innings with 8 hits, 3 runs, a walk, and 3 strikeouts. Jake Diekman and Blake Treinen got holds before Boone Logan got the save. Treinen struck out 3 in 1.2 innings.

Trey Mancini was 3-for-4 with a three run homer in the first. Jonathan Schoop was 3-for-4 with 2 runs scored. Lewis Brinson was 2-for-4 with a double and 2 RBI's. Andrelton Simmons was 2-for-4 with a double. Anthony Alford was 1-for-4 with a double and run scored.

August 17th, 2019: We looked to take the series lead with Reynlado Lopez (11-4, 3.87 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) taking on 21-year-old rookie Forrest Whitley (0-1, 1.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) who just came off the DL. Marwin Gonzalez had another great game, and the Astros beat us 7-5.

Lopez went 6 with 7 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Boone Logan fell to 1-7 on the year, allowing 2 hits, a walk, and 3 runs without getting an out. He's been terrible all year, and has a 6.35 ERA, although I deserved this when I signed someone with a 10.65 ERA and 2.35 WHIP in the previous season. But man is his stuff good, still 12.7 K/9.

Jonathan Schoop was 3-for-5 with a double and run scored. Andrelton Simmons was 3-for-4 with a double and RBI. Lewis Brinson was 2-for-4 with 2 doubles and a run scored. Nolan Arenado was 1-for-5 with a two run homer. David Peralta was 2-for-4 with a sac bunt and 2 runs scored. Chance Sisco was 2-for-3 with a pair of walks and an RBI.

Giants 3B Evan Longroia hit his 300th career homer in a 14-4 loss to the Nationals. He's having a nice year, hitting .283 with 17 homers and 60 RBI's.

August 18th, 2019: Blue Jays RHP Nick Rumbelow is out for the year with radinal nerve compression. He has a 5.40 ERA and a 3-1 record with the Mariners and Blue Jays.

We looked to earn the split with Kevin Gausman (8-7, 5.11 ERA, 1.47 WHIP) facing the washed up Justin Verlander (7-4, 4.69 ERA, 1.46 WHIP) whose ratings look more like a AA journeyman then Cy Young winner. We did most of the scoring off the pen, and won the finale 10-5 with help from a 5 run 7th.

Gausman went 7.1 innings, allowing 8 hits, 4 runs, and he struck out 4. Erasmo Ramirez tossed 1.2 innings with 3 strikeouts.

Trey Mancini was 1-for-3 with 2 runs, 2 RBI's, a walk, and a homer. Lewis Brinson was 1-for-3 with 3 RBI's, a double, and sac-fly. David Peralta was 1-for-4 with 2 runs, a solo homer, and sac-bunt. Andrelton Simmons was 2-for-4 with an RBI and steal. Victor Reyes was 2-for-4 with 2 runs, an RBI, and a steal. Jonathan Schoop was 1-for-4 with a steal and run scored. Chance Sisco was 1-fr-3 wiht a run scored, RBI, and 2 walks.

We get tomorrow off before the Yankees come to town for three.

August 19th, 2019: The Power Rankings are back, and we're up to 7th. At 67-52, we are 7.5 games out of first, but we have a 3.5 game lead in the Wild Card.

The Yankees head to town, and we'll see Mashiaro Tanaka (9-4, 4.76 ERA), Hidetsugu Nakasone (12-6, 3.48 ERA), and Nathan Karns (10-4, 4.54 ERA).

August 20th, 2019: Miles Mikolas (9-5, 3.19 ERA, 1.33 WHIP) opened the series against Mashiaro Tanaka (9-4, 4.76 ERA, 1.22 WHIP). Both starters spent time in the Nippon Professional League. We gave the Yanks there 45th loss of the year and won the opener 7-3.

Zach Britton left with a strained shoulder, and will head to the DL...

Mikolas was great, 7 innings with 5 hits, 3 runs, a walk, and 6 strikeouts. The pen tossed 2 innings with a hit and 4 strikeouts, although I'm really pissed Britton pitched in a non-save situation...

Trey Mancini was 2-for-4 with a two run homer and a double. Jonathan Schoop was 1-for-4 with a three run homer. Victor Reyes was 1-for-4 with a two run homer. David Peralta was 2-for-5 with a double and run scored. Chance Sisco was 2-for-3 with 2 runs, a double, and a walk. Nolan Arenado was 1-for-4 with a double.

After placing Britton on the DL, I recalled Cobb from his rehab assignment.

August 21st, 2019: We looked to take the series a game early with Aaron Sanchez (8-6, 2.77 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) facing Hidetsugu Nakasone (12-6, 3.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP). Both pitchers have done well against the opponent, Sanchez 1-1 with a 0.45 ERA and Nakasone 1-1 with a 1.96 ERA. We scored early and often, and won 11-3.

In his first game back, Alex Cobb got injured...

Sanchez was solid, 6.1 innings with 5 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts. Cobb allowed a run in an inning with a hit, walk, and strikeout. Erasmo Ramirez went 1.2 innings with 2 strikeouts.

Jonathan Schoop was 2-for-4 with a sac-fly, 2 doubles, a run scored, and 2 RBI's. Andrelton Simmons was 3-for-5 with a double, homer, and 4 RBI's. Nolan Arenado was 3-for-5 with a two run homer and 3 total RBI's. Victor Reyes was 2-for-3 with 2 runs, an RBI, and 2 walks. Trey Mancini was 2-for-3 with a run scored. Chance Sisco was 2-for-4 with 2 runs scored and a walk.

August 22nd, 2019: Alex Cobb will miss the rest of the year with bone chips in his elbow. I recalled Ryan Burr from AAA.

We looked to finish the sweep with Reynaldo Lopez (11-4, 3.96 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) taking on Nathan Karns (10-4, 4.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP). Lopez allowed just 1 hit, and we shut out the "unbeatable" Yankees 4-0. I kid, but I didn't even think we'd win more then 1 game, let alone sweep after how awful we've played recently.

Lopez got every out except 1, tossing 8.2 innings with just 1 hit, 2 walks, and 7 strikeouts while throwing 108 pitched. With just 2 more, Joakim Soria got a ground out to end the game.

Nolan Arenado was 2-for-4 with a solo homer and 2-run double. Jose Peraza was 2-for-3 with a run scored. Andrelton Simmons was 1-for-2 with a walk and run scored. David Peralta was 1-for-3 with a run scored, walk, and RBI.

We cut the deficit to 4.5 games, and we finish our homestand with three against the Blue Jays in a bird battle before an off day. We'll see Marcus Stroman (8-6, 4.23 ERA), Tyler Anderson (5-7, 6.19 ERA), and Robert Stephenson (4-10, 9.23 ERA).
