June 25th-June 30th

June 25th, 2029: We dropped to 7th in the Power Rankins. At 47-31, we have a 9 game lead over the 38-40 Nationals and Mets.

Prospect Watch: Luis Pastrana, C (DSL)

Signed as an International Free Agent back in 2025, Luis Pastrana has been red=hot in the DSL this season. Origionally signed for a $550,000 bonus, the lefty/righty isn't really known for being a defender, but he delivers with the bat. As a 20-year-old, he's in his 2nd professional season, and is hitting an astronomical .415/.465/.631 (206 OPS+) with 2 homers and 11 RBI's in 17 games this season. He has great extra base hit potential, but doesn't have any other offensive tool that shows too much promise. He may never show too much promise, but he's a hard eough worker to force himelf into future considereation.

We opened the series in Pittsburgh with Juan Coira (6-5, 4.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP) taking on Brad Rauter (7-4, 4.25 ERA, 1.30 WHIP). Neither pitcher has much success against the opposition in their only starts. We got 5 big runs in the 3rd, and took the opener 7-4.

Coira went 7.2 innings with 8 hits, 3 runs, a walk, and 3 strikeouts before Gene Hall struck out the final batter in the 8th. Chad Scoles got the 9th, an inning with 2 hits, a run, walk, and 2 strikeouts.

Rogelio Maldonado was 2-for-5 with a 2 doubles and 2 runs scored. Chris Reid was 2-for-5 with a run scored. Jarred Kelenic was 1-for-4 with a run scored and base clearing double. Mac Horvath was 1-for-2 with a walk, 2 hit by pitches, a run scored, and RBI. Daylen Lile was 1-for-3 with a run scored, walk 2 RBI's, and a sac-fly.

Juan Simental was diagnosed with a sore back in New Orleans, and will head back to the DL, but the 7=Day AAA DL not the 10-Day.

June 26th, 2029: Game two saw Jonathan Kearns (6-2, 2.92 ERA, 0.98 WHIP) took on Steve Paustian (6-3, 4.63 ERA, 1.37 WHIP) in the middle game. The offense took today off, and the Pirates shut us out 3-0 to even the series back up.

Paustian went 6 with 8 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 7 strikeouts. The pen tossed 2 innings with a strikeout.

He had just 3 hits and a walk. Isaac Nunez and Jackson Miller were both 1-for-3 and Noah Smith 1-for-4. Chris Reid was 0-for-3 with a walk.

We did have a Reed-Miller-Reed double play (3-2-3) so that's kind of cool.

Rays RF Tim Green was 5-for-5 in a 9-7 loss to Oakland. It's the third five hit game of his career, although it seems like he has one all the time.

June 27th, 2029: Toronto reliever Kymani McKever is out for the year with a torn flexor tendon in his elbow. He had a 2.49 ERA in 24.1 innings with 31 strikeouts and a 0.99 WHIP.

We looked to take the finale and the series with Pat Saitta (7-5, 3.70 ERA, 1.25 WHIP) taking on Caleb Barnsley (3-5, 3.82 ERA, 1.26 WHIP). We woke back up to today, and edged the hosts 7-5 to take the rubber match.

Isaac Nunez left with an injury...

Saitta went 6 innings with 6 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, and 9 strikeouts. Jarred Kelenic allowed 3 hits and 2 runs in an inning. Gene Hall earned a hold and Chad Scoles got the save. The first 1 walk and 1 strikeout, the second 2 walks and 2 strikeouts.

Chris Reid was 2-for-4 with a double, 2 runs, 2 RBI's, a homer, and walk. Jorge Tapia was 2-for-4 with a double, run scored, and RBI. Mac Horvath was 2-for-4 with a run scored, RBI, and walk. Noah Smith was 1-for-4 with a run scored, double, and 2 RBI's. Pat Saitta was 1-for-3 with an RBI. Parker Meadows came off the bench for Nunez (1-for-1) and was 1-for-3 with 2 runs and a hit by pitch.

Down in Batavia, CF Mike Guerrero was 5-for-6 in a 11-4 win over the Hudson Valley Rengades.

Not only did Rays 1B Matt Walner hit 4 homers, the 4th homer was the 300th of his career. A former Rays 5th Rounder in 2019, he's hit .262/.353/.542 with 802 RBI's in 4,011 at bats from 2022-2029.

We're headed home for three with St. Louis. We'll face Lenny Torres (6-4, 3.03 ERA), Andy Frost (5-2, 3.75 ERA), and Luis Manzano (5-4, 3.56 ERA).

June 28th, 2029: Back at homer, C.J. Jorgensen (4-5, 3.94 ERA, 1.15 WHIP) got the ball against Lenny Tores (6-4, 3.03 ERA, 1.01) as we opened a three games set with the defending champion Redbirds. We got a little revenge, and edged the guests 2-1.

Jorgensen tossed 5.1 innings with 3 hits, a run, 2 walks, and 11 strikeouts. Zaire Moneyham got a hold, 1.2 innings with a hit, walk, and 2 strikeouts. Luis Alcantra and Josh Brown struck out the side in a split 8th to earn holds as well. Chad Scoles earned the save, strking out 2 in the 9th.

Rogelio Maldonado was 2-for-3. Jarred Kelenic was 1-for-4 with 2 RBI's. Jon Reid was 1-for-3. Jorgensen was 0-for-1 with a sac-bunt and run scored.

June 29th, 2029: Isaac Nunez strained his medial collateral ligament, and will head to the DL for 5 weeks. I didn't have a healthy position player on the 40 to call up, I traded Zaire Moneyham to the Kansas City Rouals for 1B Luis Puerta to free up a spot. Puerta is actually a former prospect of mine.

I then recalled Omari Tetteh and Jake Yearick from New Orleans.

I also extended most personell that would agree to extensions.

Fan vote update: Miller 3rd for C. Reid 3rd for 1B. Ramirez 1st for LF. Kelenic 2nd for RF. Saitta 5th for SP. Scoles 2nd, Hinojos 5th for RP.

The Athletics and White Sox made a trade, with RHP Eudi Asencio heading to the Soc and RHP Chris Robbins to Oakland. The A's got the better side.

Game two saw Devon Peterson (5-4, 3.65 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) take on Andy Frost (5-2, 3.75 ERA, 1.14 WHIP). The Cardinlas got three quick runs in the first to tie the series with a 5-2 win. Tetteh made his debut with a pinch hit appearence.

Peterson went 4.1 innings with 7 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. The pen tossed 4.2 innings with 2 hits, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts.

Chris Reid was 2-for-4 with a solo homer. Daylen Lile was 1-for-3 with a walk and steal. Jarred Kelenic waent 1-for-4 with a run scored. Jackson Miller was 1-for-3 with a hit by pitch.

June 30th, 2029: We looked to finish June over .500 (14-13 currently) with Juan Coira (7-5, 4.66 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) taking on the red-hot Luis Manzao (5-4, 3.56 ERA, 1.10 WHIP) in the finale. We fell short, and were edged 4-3 in the finale.

Coira had a rough outing, 7 hits and 4 runs in 3.2 innings with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts. C.J. LaFever tossed 2.1 innings with a walk and 3 strikeouts. He was also 1-for-1.

Jackson Miller was 2-for-3 with 2 runs and 2 walks. Gregoria Alvarenga was 2-for-4 with a walk, triple, and run scored. Mac Horvath was 1-for-4. Chris Reid was 1-for-2 with a steal, RBI, and 2 walks.

Boston 2B Noah Campbell was 5-for-6 in a 8-4 win over the Athletics.

Off to New York for three against the Mets. We'll face Sergio Fuentes (3-4, 4.58 ERA), Diego Blanco (4-3, 4.50 ERA), and Pablo Ochoa (5-4, 4.32 ERA).
