August 9th, 2029: Former Marlin and current Dove Leonel Olvera will miss the rest of the season with a ruptured finger tendon. He was -6 with a 4.14 ERA in 15 starts.

We opened the series hosting the Giants with Devon Peterson (8-7, 3.95 ERA, 1.48 WHIP) taking on Eric Warren (5-9, 3.84 ERA, 1.21 WHIP). Both pitchers lost their only starts against the opposition, and Peterson has seen his ERA jump recently. It was a close one, but they managed to edge us 3-2.

Juan Simental left with a sore elbow, but will just be DTD for a few days.

Peterson went 5.2 innings with 7 hits, 3 runs, 5 walks, and 2 strikeouts in another subpar start. The pen went 3.1 innings with 3 hits, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts.

Juan Ramirez was 2-for-4 with 2 runs, a solo homer, and steal. Mac Horvath was 1-for-3 with a RBI and hit by pitch. Jorge Tapia was 1-for-3 with a double. Daylen Lile was 1-for-3 with a walk and hit by pitch. Chris Reid was 1-for-3 with a walk.

August 10th, 2029: I recalled Isaac Nunez from his rehab assignment and optioned Sergio Tello to AAA.

We looked to even the series back us with Dursun Erbakan (3-6, 3.52 ERA, 1.13 WHIP) facing Joe Brausen (7-7, 5.24 ERA, 1.41 WHIP). Our offense was missing, and we were shut out 2-0. We lost two straight at home to a team that is 10 games under...

Erbakan went 5 innings with 4 htis, 2 runs, 3 walks, and 6 strikeouts. The pen combined for 3 innings with a hit, walk, and 4 strikeouts.

Noah Smith was 2-for-4 with a triple and steal. Parker Meadows and Chris Reid were 1-for-3 with a walk.

August 11th, 2029: The Yankees will be without SS Juan Salas for the rest of the year with a partially torn labrum. He was hitting .251 with 22 homers and 46 RBI's.

We looked to avoid the sweep with Pat Saitta (11-6, 3.70 ERA, 1.22 WHIP) looking to stay hot against Dan Poinsette (6-6, 4.91 ERA, 1.68 WHIP). We tried really hard to lose, but Chris Reid was able to hit a walk-off two run homer to avoid the humiliating sweep and give us a 5-4 win.

Saitta went 5.2 with 2 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Chad Scoles got the win, despite allowing a hit and run while striking out the side in the 9th. Gene Hall struck out the side in a perfect 8th.

Gregorio Alvarenga was 2-for-4 with a double, walk, and 2 RBI's. Chris Reid was just 1-for-4 with the two run homer. Jackson Miller was 1-for-4 with a run scored. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-3 with a walk, run scored, and hit by pitch.

We're on to Washington for three with the Nationals. We'll see Steve Vincent (8-6, 3.14 ERA), Sonny Warner (7-9, 3.87 ERA), and Luis Escolastico (9-9, 4.19 ERA).

August 12th, 2029: We opened the series in our nations' capital with Steve Paustian (10-4, 4.400 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) facing fellow Steve, Vincent (8-6, 3.14 ERA, 1.06 WHIP). Our rough patch continues, and we were walked off 6-5 after tieing the game in the top of the 9th.

Paustian allowed 5 hits and 5 runs in 4 innings with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. Gene Hall allowed a solo homer to Joe Medina to lead off the 9th.

Jon Reid was 2-for-4 with 2 runs, 3 RBI's, and a home run. Isaac Nunez was 2-for-4. Jackson Miller had a pinch hit solo homer in the 9th. Jorge Tapia, who he pinch hit for, was 1-for-3 with a double. Parker Meadows was 1-for-3 with a walk. Gregorio Alvarenga was 1-for-5 with a steal.

August 13th, 2029: We fell to 6th in the Power Rankings. At 72-49, we have an 8 game lead over today's opponent.

The Padres and Cubs made a waiver swap, sending LHP Graeme Stinson and RHP Greg Sankoh to the Cubs and 2B Ben Boyd to the Padres. Nice trade for the Cubs, but they had to take on salary.

Prospect Watch: RHP Joe Valrie (Rookie GCL):

Our 3rd Round pick this year, Joe Valrie has really turned heads quickly. A starter by trade, the 18-year-old from Oregon has made 21 appearences (1 start) and gone 1-2 with 11 saves. He's got a 1.22 ERA, despite a 1.85 WHIP. He's walked 15 hitters and struck out just 4, which are extremely concerning numbers for someone with his talent. Rated a 4.5* as a CL and 3* as a SP, he's got elite studff and three quality pitches, a plus fastball, perfect slider, and average change up. He averages 92-94 with the fastball and has the stamina to start. He does have plus-plus future control, but he's really struggled with is so far. Still very raw, however, he's got a lot of blooming to do, although scouts are split on his future. There's about a 50/50 split on whether he'll end up a starter or a reliever, but I'm hoping my scouts are the accurate ones.

It's a must to even the series, with Sonny Warner (7-9, 3.87 ERA, 1.04 WHIP) taking on C.J. Jorgensen (8-7, 3.86 ERA, 1.15 WHIP) who seems to have found his groove. Juan Ramirez loves facing Warner, and is an impressive 9-for-16 head-to-head. A four run fourth was too much to overcome, and we were topped 6-4.

Jorgensen went 6 with 6 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and 7 strikeouts. Luis Alcantra allowed 2 hits and a run without getting an out. Ignacio Hinojos allowed a hit and run while striking out the side in the 8th.

Juan Ramirez was 2-for-4 with a solo homer. Isaac Nunez was 1-for-3 with a solo homer. Juan Simental was 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Jackson Miller was 1-for-3 with a sac-fly. Gregorio Alvarenga was 1-for-4 with a steal and run scored.

August 14th, 2029: I recalled Jarred Kelenic from his rehab assignment and optioned Eric Kisela to AAA. I also traded 2B Jeremy Eierman (who I signed to a minor league deal and he used to play for me from 2020-2022) to the Rangers for RHP Sean Robinson.

Robinson, 24, is a former 7th Round Pick out of Newark Academy in Livingston New Jersey. He's split time between the rotation and bullpen all througout his career, and likely profiles as a long man in the bigs. He's rated a 1.5/2* as a starter, but barley has the needed stamina. What he does have is four plus pitches and he does a good job keeping the ball on the ground.

We looked to avoid the sweep with Devon Peterson (8-8, 3.98 ERA, 1.51 WHIP) facing Luis Escolastico (9-9, 4.19 ERA, 1.24 WHIP). Luckily, Peterson was brilliant, and we shut them out 3-0 to salvage the finale.

Peterson went 6.1 innings with 5 hits, a walk, and 7 strikeouts. He also hit 1-for-3 with a double and run scored. Luis Alcantra and C.J. LaFever earned holds and Chad Scoles got the save.

Jarred Kelenic was 1-for-2 with a double, run scored, RBI, walk, and scary hit by pitch in his return to the active roster. Noah Smith was 1-for-3 with a solo homer. Daylen Lile was 1-for-4 with a steal. Jackson Miller was 1-for-4 with an RBI.

Well, we have tomorrow off to forget about that awful 6 game stretch!
