August 22nd, 2029: We started a three game set in St. Louis with Pat Saitta (11-6, 3.77 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) facing Juan Sevilla (5-8, 3.60 ERA, 1.07 WHIP), a future star who's just 24. We got 5 in the 5th, and that was barely enough for the 5-4 win.

Saitta looked great, 7 innings with 5 hits, a run, and 5 strikeouts. Gene Hall wasn't great, 3 hits and 3 runs in 0.2 innings with a strikeout. Luis Alcanta finished the 8th with a 1 pitch fly out to earn a hold. Chad Scoles got the save, getting a strikeout in a 9th.

Jarred Kelenic was 3-for-5 with a double and run scored. Chris Reid was 2-for-4 with a walk and three run homer. Saitta was 1-for-3 with a run scored. Jon Reid was 1-for-4 with an RBI. Jackson Miller was 1-for-4 with a run scored and hit by pitch.

Down in Jacksonville, 3B Ryuki Takaki was 5-for-5 in a 12-1 Jumbo Shrimp win over the Mississippi Braves.

Yankees 1B Matt Olson hit his 500th career homer. He's having a rough year this season, hitting .168 with 9 homers and 22 RBI's, but the 35-year-old has a .239/.337/.511 career line with 1,232 RBI's.

August 23rd, 2029: We looked to keep rolling with Steve Paustian (10-5, 4.55 ERA, 1.35 WHIP) taking on Lenny Torres (9-11, 2.84 ERA, 0.97 WHIP). We only had 1 run in the first 6 innings, but we scored 3 in the 7th, 7 in the 8th, and 1 more in the 9th to win the middle match 12-4.

Paustian went 5.1 innings with 6 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Josh Brown got the win, an inning with a strikeout.

Jorge Tapia was a perfect 4-for-4 with 2 runs, 4 RBI's, and 2 doubles. Jon Reid was 3-for-5 with 3 runs, a solo homer, and steal. Gregorio Alvarenga was 2-for-4 with 2 runs, a walk, double, and steal. Mac Horvath was 2-for-2 with a double, run scored, and 3 RBI's off the bench. Juan Simental was 1-for-5 with a three run homer. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-4 with a hit by pitch.

August 24th, 2029: We looked to finish the sweep with the red-hot C.J. Jorgensen (9-8, 3.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP) facing Nate Schneider (6-4, 4.44 ERA, 1.53 WHIP). It was a close one, but we were edged 3-2 as the hosts were able to avoid the sweep.

Jorgensen went 6 innings with 9 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, and 8 strikeous. Luis Alcantra struck out 2 in an inning. Gene Hall allowed a hit and got a strikeout in an inning of work.

Mac Horcath was 2-for-4. Chris Reid was 1-for-3 with a solo homer and walk. Noah Smith was 1-for-4 with a run scored. Jackson Miller was 1-for-3 with a walk.

We're headed home for three with the Mets. We'll face Arturo Romo (10-7, 3.34 ERA), Livio Montella (10-9, 3.99 ERA), and Jim Tate (8-8, 5.16 ERA).

August 25th, 2029: Interesting thing to note: I have 6 impending free agents (Josh Brown, Gene Hall, Ignacio Hinojos, Jarred Keleic, Isaac Nunez, and Chris Reid) who are each asking for $15 million or more, which means I could have 6 compensation picks! Granted, Hall or Hinojos could both accept, but even then it's four guys. I already extended Jorgensen, and Chad Scoles could opt out, so I could have hypothetically had 8 compensation picks!

Anyways, the Mets were in town as we hosted them in front of a packed crowd. We looked to win game 81 with Devon Peterson (10-8, 3.68 ERA, 1.47 WHIP) looking to stay hot against Arturo Romo (10-7, 3.34 ERA, 1.16 WHIP). That name may be familiar to some, as he used to be a Marlin. I signed him as a minor league free agent, and then trade him to the Rockies. He's pitched against me a lot, and I thought I recognized the name, so I had to check his history this time. The pitching was eexcellent, and we will at least finish the season .500 with a 5-1 victory.

Peterson went 6.2 with 8 hits, a run, walk, and 5 strikeouts. Chad Scoles struck out the side in the 9th.

Noah Smith went 3-for-4 with a run scored and RBI. Juan Ramirez was 2-for-4 with a double and run scored. Daylen Lile was 2-for-4 with a steal and run scored. Isaac Nunez was 1-for-4 with a three run homer. Juan Simental was 1-for-3 with a walk and RBI.

August 26th, 2029: Durusun Erbakan (5-7, 3.30 ERA, 1.10 WHIP) looked to build off a great start against Livio Montella (10-9, 3.99 ERA, 1.26 WHIP). He wasn't terrible, but was't great, and they evened the series with a 5-3 win.

Erbakan went 5.1 innings with 5 hits, 5 runs, 4 walks, and 8 strikeouts. The pen went 3.2 innings with a hit, walk, and 5 strikeouts.

Jon Reid was 3-for-4 with a double, run scored, and RBI. Juan Ramirez was 2-for-3 with a walk, double, and hit by pitch. Gregorio Alvarenga was 1-for-2 with a run scored, RBI, double, and walk. Mac Horvath was 1-for-3 with a run scored and walk.

August 27th, 2029: The Power Rankings have us rated 4th. At 81-53, we have a 13 game lead over the Nationals.

Prospect Watch: RHP Chris Bigsby (AAA New Orleans):

Formerly the 22nd Pick overall in 2024, Chris Bigsby looked like a star in the making, but he tore his flexor tendon in 2026 that really set him back. He was able to bulid back up despite the drop off from future ace to middle of the rotation starter, and he got his contract purchased in the offseason to protect him from the Rule-5 Draft. He started out 2029 strong, but partially tore his labrum which has set him back even more. He's working back from that now, and has been red-hot in New Orleans, making 4 straight starts with 2 or less runs allowed after his 9 relif appearences. He has a 3.44 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 36 strikeouts in 36.2 innings. He's not the elite pitcher he used to be, but he still boasts a 81 rated fastball that can touch triple digits. He's got elite stamina, but needs to fix up his change up if he wants to start in the big leagues. At just 23, he can still work to improve, and should recieve a cameo in September.

We looked to take the series finale with Pat Saitta (12-6, 3.66 ERA, 1.17 WHIP) facing Jim Tate (8-8, 5.16 ERA, 1.17 WHIP). We looked absolutely awful, and they shut us out 8-0.

C.J. LaFever also left with an injury, the diagnosis still pending. He was the best pitcher today, 1.1 innings with 2 hits and 3 strikeouts.

Saitta really didn't pitch too bad, 4 innings with 5 hits, 2 runs, 5 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Ignacio Hinojos tossed an inning with 4 hits, 2 runs, and 2 strikeotus. Juan Coira pitched an inning with 3 hits, 2 runs, a walk, and strikeout. Steve Hudson went 1.1 innings with 2 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts.

We had just two hits, both doubles. Jon Reid was 1-for-3 and Jarred Kelenic was 1-for-4.

Padres CF Ron Burk hit three homers in a 4-1 win over the Atlanta Braves.

We get tomorrow off before heading to Seattle to finish up August!
