May 23rd, 2031: I claimed a former player of mine, Jorge Tapia, off waivers from the Reds. Now 25, he's rated a 2.5/3* and he has options left, so he'll head to AAA.

We had today off, and would actually head to Cincinatti to face the Reds. We'll see former Marlin Devon Peterson (0-1, 3.68 ERA), Tyrese Comier (3-1, 2.89 ERA), and Dave Kinser (1-6, 51.6 ERA).

May 24th, 2031: Fan Vote Update: Horvath 3rd for 1B. Ramirez 3rd for LF. Simental 2nd for CF. Frye 2nd for RF. Aguirre 1st for SP. Scoles 1st for RP.

We arrived in Cincinatti to start a three game series and were welcomed by Devon Peterson (0-1, 3.68 ERA, 1.43 WHIP). His former teammate C.J. Jorgensen (3-3, 4.11 ERA, 1.47 WHIP) was on the mound for us. Tied at 4 in the 7th, we got 4 runs including a base clearing double by Takeshi Kino****a off former Marlin Sam Stewart. We ended up taking the opener 8-4.

Jorgensen went 5.2 innings wiwth 6 hits, 4 runs, 4 walks, and 2 strikeouts. Shiro Hiraki improved to a perfect 5-0, going 1.1 innings with a hit and 2 strikeouts. Chad Scoles got a strikeout and fly out to end the 9th and earn his 13th save.

Mac Horvath was 2-for-4 with a two run homer. Takeshi Kino****a was 1-for-3 with a run scored, 3 RBI's, a double, and 2 hit by pitches. Luis Mora was 1-for-4 with a run scored, RBI, and steal. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-3 with a double and RBI. Juan Simental was 1-for-4 with a double, 2 runs, and a walk. Pat Hughes came off the ebnch and was 1-for-2 with a run scored. Ernie Frye was 1-for-4 and scored.

May 25th, 2031: The middle game sawa Juan Maya (5-0, 4.09 ERA, 1.32 WHIP) take on Tyrese Comier (3-1, 2.89 ERA, 1.17 WHIP). Despite being out-hit 16 to 12, we won 9-5 and would look for the sweep tomorrow.

Maya was roughed up, 3.2 innings with 7 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Rodolfo Esquilin got his 8th win of the year, tossing 2.1 innings with 4 hits. Ken Adeniran went 2 innings with 3 hits, a run, and 2 strikeouts. Chad Scoles earned the save, allowing a hit and getting the final two outs of the 9th.

Jon Reid was 2-for-4 with a hit by pitch and 3 RBI's. Takeshi Kino****a was 1-for-4 with 2 runs, 2 RBI's, a walk, and double. Ernie Frye and Mac Horvath were both 1-for-4 with a run scored, walk, and steal. Jackson Miller was 1-for-2 with a double, 2 walks, 2 RBI's, a sac-fly, and run scored. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-4 with a double, run scored, RBI, and walk. Rodolfo Solorzano had a pinch hit RBI double and scored in the 7th.

May 26th, 2031: I think 2nd is out spot, and that's where we sit in the Power Rankings. Now 36-14, we're up 6 over the Phillies.

The Padres sent superstar 3B Bobby Witt Jr. to the Twins for RHP Eric Young, RHP Davon Guinyard, and SS Jorge Espinoza. If Witt stays healthy, which is unlikely, it's an absolute steal for the Twins.

Prospect Watch: C Luis Pastrana (A Greensboro):

Signed back in 2025 to a $550,000 contract out of the Dominican Republic, Luis Pastrana was never really expected much. He was signed because he was a youngster who could play behind the plate. Known more for his bat now, the 22-year-old lefty is having a great year with the Grasshoppers. In 15 games, he's hitting .315/.383/.667 with 5 homers and 14 RBI's. Pastrana has a plus eye and plus power, and he gets his share of extra base hits. He profiles as a backup catcher in the majors, but with all the neeed for catchers, Pastrana has a bright big league futrue.

We couldn't sweep, despite Estevban Aguirre being the projected starter. It's not because he pitched bad, but rain forced the game to be postponed at a later date.

We headed home to host the Braves for three. We'll see Curt Schneider (3-3, 2.96 ERA), Bobby Lee (6-1, 2.84 ERA), and Joe LaBrie (5-3, 3.51 ERA).

May 27th, 2031: Yesterday's scheduled starter Esteban Aguirre (7-0, 1.68 ERA, 0.70 WHIP) took on Curt Schneider (3-3, 2.96 ERA, 1.12 WHIP) in the opener with Atlanta. The day off didn't phase him too much, and we topped the Braves 4-1 to keep our streak going.

Aguirre did only pitch 5.1 innings, but he allowed just 5 hits, 1 run, and he struck out 13. Shiro Hiraki, Josh Cronin, and Juan Razo earned holds before Chad Scoles got the save. Those four relievers tossed 3.2 perfect innings with 5 strikeouts.

Jon Reid was 2-for-3 with a walk, double, and run scored. Gregorio Alvarenga was 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored. Rogelio Solorzano was 1-for-3 with a two run homer. Juan Simental was 1-for-2 with a run scored, walk, and hit by piptch. Luis Mora came off the bench adn was 1-for-2 with a steal and RBI.

May 28th, 2031: We looked to push our win streak to 9th with Dursun Erbakan (2-1, 4.84 ERA, 1.50 WHIP) facing 27-year-old breakout rookie Bobby Lee (6-1, 2.84 ERA, 0.95 WHIP). Tied at 7 in the 9th, Ernie Frye took Esteban Bravo deep and we walked-off 9-7 winners.

Erbakan had 4 hits and 4 runs in 5 innings with 2 walks and 8 strikeouts. Luis Nevi tossed 2 innings with 2 strikeouts and got a hold. Juan Razo allowed 2 hits and 2 runs without getting an out. C.J. LaFever allowed a hit, who later scored, to the only batter he faced. Chad Scoles got the win, striking out 2 in a perfect 9th.

Mac Horvath was 3-for-5 with 2 runs, 2 RBI's, and a walk. Takeshi Kino****a was 2-for-3 with 2 RBI's and a walk. Jon Reid was 2-for-4 with 2 runs scored. Frye was 1-for-4 with 2 runs, 2 walks, and the big two run homer. Rodolfo Solorzano was 1-for-3 with a RBI, walk, and hit by pitch. Pat Hughes was 1-for-3 with 2 runs, a walk, and hit by ptich. Jackson Miller was 1-for-1 with a run scored off the bench.

May 29th, 2031: We looked to pull of the sweep and stretch out win streak to 10 with Steve Paustian (3-3, 4.75 ERA, 1.47 WHIP) facing former Marlin Joe LaBrie (5-3, 3.51 ERA, 1.34 WHIP). With every position advanage, we limited the Braves lineup in a 4-1 win to cap off another sweep.

Paustian tossed 5 innings with 6 hits, a run, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Nevi, LaFever (who struck out the side in the 7th), and Esquilin got holds while Ken Adeniran picked up the save. He tossed 1.2 innings with 2 strikeouts.

Luis Mora was 2-for-4 with a solo homer. Mac Horvath was 1-for-2 with a RBI and 2 walks. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-2 with a run scored, RBI, and 2 walks. Takeshi Kino****a was 1-for-3 with a walk and RBI.

Off to Arizona for three with the Diamondbacks! We'll face Luis Aguilar (1-4, 8.06 ERA), Mike Steele (3-1, 2.87 ERA), and Jeff Slezak (2-5, 3.92 ERA).
