August 16-18 vs CLEVELAND
Not much has gone right for the Indians this year: fifth in the Central, at 53-63, with 15th-ranked hitting and dead-last pitching. 2B D.J. Grace (.309/15/53), LF Morgan Akers (.286/18/64, and a FA signing), and closer Tim Stoner (29 saves, 1.16 ERA) have been the lone individual bright spots. Former Isles star Jeremy Dunklee--at 40 and closing in on the end--is batting just .228, but has added 14 HR and an OBP of .342. He's also closing in on 2400 career hits and 80 WAR. His career metrics make him a coin flip for the Hall, but he'll be helped by his 2 MVPs, 8 all-star appearances, 5 Silver Sluggers, and 2 World Series wins. Highest ranked player: Grace, the #1 2B in the game. SS Matthew Powell comes in at #5, mostly due to his great defense and his hefty bat (power, but only a .244 career average).

HAW pitchers: RH Dennis Perry (10-5, 4.50) / RH Shamar Jackson (15-7, 4.10) / LH Eric Jones (16-3, 3.28)
CLE pitchers: RH George Millard (7-4, 4.57) / RH Luis de Lara (9-9, 5.67) / LH Taylor Baxter (4-6, 7.50)

#118: LOSS 7-9 ... yessss, outhit them 15-9 but still lose the game...Perry and Money get abused on the mound, right in front of a full house
#119: LOSS 3-6 ... so the gang that can't hit put 5 into the stands tonight, just great...Goodloe gets a HR for us, hurrah
#120: WIN 3-0 ... leave it to Jones, saving the day with a 4-hit complete game...2 hits each for Simmons and Daley

We salvaged some pride in that last game, especially after giving up eight home runs in the first two games.... OF-turned-3B Lua Ulkini, from the Wallis Islands, tore up his knee in AAA just now and will miss 9 months. Ulkini was an outsider to make the roster next spring as a corner IF and LHB pinch hitter, but that's gone out the window now. He's just 21, so not dead yet.... ELSEWHERE: Atlanta's Matt Waugh keeps on truckin', having won 16 of the Braves 51 wins this year. And he's #1 in ERA, and WAR, and 2nd in K and wins.... SF closer John Richard reached 40 saves.... Brooklyn and Philly are now tied for first in the NL East, each at 68-52. They're 7.5 up on Richmond. Detroit has the largest non-Hawaiian divisional lead, 9 games over Minnesota.

August 19-21 vs CHICAGO WHITE SOX
At 61-60 and still clinging to the back end of the wildcard race. Their numbers are decent: 6th in runs (4th in AVG), and 9th in runs against, with a +28 run differential. SS Chris Rock is back from injury, and after 31 games is batting .366. RF Andy Barenberg is batting well below his career number, but is still productive at .287/23/66. Ace Ben O'Neal missed a couple of months, which really hurt the playoff push, but in his 16 starts he's fanned 150 batters. Closer has been a source of woe, and now they've turned it over to former #1 ranked prospect Burton Dick. He should really be in the rotation, frankly, and getting 7+ innings every five days. He'd make a terrific 1-2 punch with O'Neal. Why does no one listen to me.

HAW pitchers: RH Ryan Ratliff (11-4, 4.37) / LH Shane Walker (3-0, 3.81) / RH Dennis Perry (10-5, 4.68)
CHW pitchers: RH Cory Graulich (8-7, 5.13) / RH Emanuel Vasquez (3-0, 4.19) / RH Ben O'Neal (8-2, 2.06)

#121: WIN 14-2 ... aaagh! Groff injured! ok, just dtd whew...2 HR, RBI for Goldthwait...4 hits for Daley, 3 for Groff...Simmons singles, walks 3 times, scores 3 runs
#122: WIN 5-0 ... HR for Goodloe and 3 hits for Cappuccilli, back in the lineup for the moment...Walker is lifted in the 6th, but Mahoney and Kym preserve the shutout
#123: WIN 6-3 ... Perry walks 5 in 6.1 IP but wins, and we come back from an early 3-0 hole...10 hits, including 2 RBI triples, a very efficient outing

Always good to sweep someone, regardless of the team.... Two injuries: Groff and Walker, both dtd. Groff will sit for the first two games of the next series as I'm not taking a chance with him. Walker might be available for his next start. With no days off, it'll be questionable.... Goldy now leads the team with 28 HR, while Frederick still leads the AL with 109 RBI.... ELSEWHERE: Tight batting race in the NL: Dillon Ritter (SF) .348; George Livezey (PHI) .348; and Jose Tavares (CIN) .346. Tavares is also gunning for his second MVP, leading the NL in HR, SLG, WAR, H, TB, EBH, ISO, while appearing on nearly every desirable leaderboard everywhere else.... Pittsburgh has won 7 in a row and now trails Cincinnati by just two games.

August 22-24 @ MILWAUKEE
Last year's Islander-killers are on the outside looking in: 63-61, 11 games behind Detroit, and 4.5 out of the second wildcard slot. Fifth in runs scored, with CF Oscar Espinosa (.292/29/80) the leader. C William Antonio is batting .313, and leadoff LF Emilio Valdez .317. Pitching is just 14th in runs against, and most of the rotation has been an Achilles heel. Josh Kennedy (6-4, 2.80) has been the best starter, but he has a pending injury. Ostensible #1 Bryan Shaheen has been okay, but that's it. Last year's 17-game winner Jeffrey Foley is out until spring, and four relievers are also on the shelf. Rookie ball Helena is 36-20; but every other farm club is at least 20 games below .500. Odd for a system that ranks #4.

HAW pitchers: RH Shamar Jackson (15-8, 4.22) / LH Eric Jones (17-3, 3.11) / RH Ryan Ratliff (12-4, 4.29)
MIL pitchers: RH Ryan Crawley (8-14, 4.82) / RH Danny Salgado (0-1, 6.75) / RH Josh Kennedy (6-4, 2.80)

#124: LOSS 6-7 ... Goldthwait's GRAND SLAM is a rare highlight tonight...why can't we get these guys out?
#125: WIN 10-2 ... 4 hits and another HR for Goldy, and 4 hits also for Simmons...HR for Frederick and Matson too...Jones with another quiet 7 IP, 5 H and 2 K
#126: LOSS 1-2 ... Ratliff stakes us to a 1-0 lead into the 9th, but a solo HR and a 13th inning walkoff sac fly lose this one

Blech, let's just get out of town. Bad, good, then bad-should-have-been-good.... Groff is back at 100% and it looks like Walker will be fine for his start tomorrow.... Jackson's knuckler hasn't been dancing lately. Shake it off Shamar!... Philly re-signed veteran SP Andy Goeser to a 3-year deal worth $7.9M per. I bring it up because he was a potential free agent target of mine this fall. Scratch that one.... ELSEWHERE: Portland has been trying to catch up to the three-team race at the top of the NL West, but losing two of their top RP in one game--both for the season--won't help. Add them to the others already on the DL: C, 2B, SS, SP, 2 other RP.... California's Luis Rivera just had a 23-game hitting streak snapped. He's still batting .273 even with the streak; must've been a lot of 1-for-4 games in there, huh.... A whisper campaign is building in Boston against veteran pitcher Mike Wiater. He's a jerk, and a warning against signing older pitchers in free agency: coming off a 5.9 WAR, 302 K year in '47, he signed for four years with the Sox. Pitched well in '48: 17 wins and 5.6 WAR. Wheels fell off last year tho, with a 5.86 ERA, a sharp decline in K, and a sharp rise in BB and HR. This year? 14 relief appearances, 21 IP, negative WAR, and his car keeps getting keyed. Plus, he's signed for next year too.

August 25-28 @ HOUSTON
Part of the middling pack in our division, at 62-66 but only 2.5 games out of second place. Hitting still stinks, 15th in runs and 17th in AVG. 3B Ricky Silva (.285/17/56), 1B Jose Renteria (.284/27/70), RF Hughie Noona (29 HR), and LF David Heathcock (.345) have been good, but no one else has. At all. Pitching ranks 7th, and the rotation has been really good. Outside of vet Danny Ruiz, everyone else has an ERA well below the league average, and Chris Harris and Chris Avalos have been striking out lots of guys. Not much else to say here, except that I hope their #2 prospect Humberto Quirindongo makes the bigs one day, just so I can hear his name announced on the PA year after year.

HAW pitchers: LH Shane Walker (4-0, 3.21) / RH Dennis Perry (10-5, 4.67) / RH Shamar Jackson (15-9, 4.35) / LH Eric Jones (18-3, 3.08)
HOU pitchers: RH Alex Trujillo (3-7, 4.18) / RH Danny Ruiz (10-10, 4.71) / LH Chris Harris (9-13, 3.89) / RH Dustin Springer (13-8, 4.03)

#127: LOSS 1-2 ... Walker fans 11 in 8 IP but takes the loss...we outhit them 6 to 4 too
#128: LOSS 1-2 ... lather, rinse, repeat...same score, same number of hits...2 H for Groff and Cappuccilli, strong game for Perry
#129: LOSS 0-4 ... nada
#130: LOSS 7-12 ... hey look, we scored some runs!

That last loss was capped off by an 8-run meltdown in the 8th.... I guess this is making up for that crazy winning stretch through July and early August, huh. Well I'm ready for it to end, thanks.... Goldthwait reaches 30 HR, and Daley hit two in the final game to get to 23. He still leads the AL with a .348 average.... ELSEWHERE: Cleveland's DJ Grace (7.2) and NYY's Melvin Lopez (7.0) are the first batters to reach 7 WAR. Atlanta's Matt Waugh leads everybody with 7.5.... Arizona's Mat Caldwell has blown past everyone to lead MLB with 276 K. He's on pace to record 347. His previous career high is 270. (Yes, he is a pitcher.)

August 29-31 @ CALIFORNIA
Last place, 56-74, but at least not heading for an all-time bad season any longer. Hitting ranks 16th, but at least they steal lots of bases. Nate Atwater is having a breakout season at 27, batting .272/36/91, way over his career averages. Ricky Ochoa has 27 HR and is still growing. Pitching ranks 12th, mostly due to ace Jon Carlsen and closer Scott Mahala (22 saves). Three SP are on the DL. Highest ranked player: SS Kevin Lutz, 7th only by virtue of some world-class fielding. He's batting .263 with limited power and is still on pace for 6 WAR.

HAW pitchers: RH Ryan Ratliff (12-4, 4.09) / LH Shane Walker (4-1, 3.02) / RH Dennis Perry (10-6, 4.54)
CAL pitchers: RH Jon Carlsen (10-8, 2.75) / RH Mike Hosey (5-5, 4.82) / RH David Fults (1-2, 8.68)

#131: WIN 14-2 ... 10 runs in innings 5-7 salt it away...lots of hits and RBI to go around, and Klein goes 4-for-5
#132: WIN 9-4 ... Frederick's turn to go 4-for-5, just missing out on a cycle...3 singles and 2 RBI for Simmons
#133: WIN 7-2 ... more hits all around, and Perry wins it with six innings of 4-hit ball, fanning 8...3 IP in relief by Money, earning a rare save

The New Normal: Sweep or Get Swept.... Had a brief scare when Groff was pulled in the 5th for a pinch runner, but it was just precautionary. No injury to report.... Stoneback comes off the DL just in time for the September roster expansion.... We're still batting .300 as a team. We did it once before, batting .304 way back in 2039 when we beat San Diego for our first championship.... ELSEWHERE: Brooklyn's Steve Bozarth tosses the 3rd no-hitter of the 2050 season, in a 4-0 win over Washington. Bozarth, 21, is a rookie and was a 4th round pick in 2047. Meaning everyone--us too--had at least three shots at him and said "naah".... Going into September and no one has 40 HR yet. When was the last time that happened? The 1980s? Oakland's Ryan Walton has been stuck on 38 for nearly two weeks now, and still no one has caught him.... Miami has caught the Yankees in the AL East. See the attachment below--there are going to be some tight races coming down the stretch this year!

......

TL;DR Version: We finish the month on an 8-8 run, and yet for the whole of August we went 20-9. Disparities are cool.... Anyway, we head into September pretty much assured of a playoff spot and most certainly the division. (Magic # is 11.) Still 1st in offense and pitching, for a wild +225 run differential. Cam Daley still leads AL batters at .344, and Josh Frederick tops all of baseball with 116 RBI. And for you farm aficionados out there: three teams have winning records. AAA Santa Barbara (78-40) leads their division by 15.5; Short A Poughkeepsie (49-18) has clinched theirs; and A ball Eureka (71-64) sits in third place, and probably will not see the post-season.
