September 19th-September 26th

September 19th, 2019: Indians RHP Dan Otero tore his rotator cuff, and will likely miss the start of next season. He was 6-1 with a 3.03 ERA with 50 strikeouts in 86 innings.

The Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals have both been eliminated from the postseason. The Royals are 64-82 and the Jays 62-83 and 27 and 28 games out respectively.

We're headed home to host those Blue Jays. We'll see Anthony DeSclafani (3-7, 4.15 ERA), Robert Stephenson (4-10, 9.00 ERA), and Colin McHugh (4-5, 6.71 ERA).

September 20th, 2019: David Peralta is headed to the DL for 3-4 weeks with a concussion.

His former team, the Diamondbacks, have been eliminated from the playoffs, as well as the Colorado Rockies. Arizona is 66-81 and the Rockies 67-80.

We opened the Blue Jays series with Reynaldo Lopez (14-6, 3.90 ERA, 1.17 WHIP) taking on DeSclafani (3-7, 4.15 ERA, 1.18 WHIP). It was a clsoe one, but they managed to top us 9-8 despite us having a 6 run 2nd.

Lopez went 4 innings with 8 hits, 5 runs, a walk, and 5 strikeouts. Erasmo Ramirez went an inning with 2 hits and 2 runs. Alex Colome allowed a run and 2 htis with 2 strikeouts in an inning. Bryan Shaw went 2 innings with a hit, run, and 3 strikeouts.

Lewis Brinson went 2-for-2 with a run scored, double, and 2 walks. Anthony Alford was 2-for-5. Brandon Lowe was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Chance Sisco was 1-for-4 with a walk and two run homer. Andrelton Simmons was 1-for-3 with 2 runs, 2 RBI's, a walk, and homer. Victor Reyes was 1-for-4 with a double, run scored, and 2 RBI's. Nolan Arenado was 1-for-5 with a double, despite somehow hitting 9th. Austin Hays was 1-for-4 with a double, run scored, and RBI.

September 21st, 2019: We needed to even the series with Shelby Miller (12-7, 3.83 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) taking on Colin McHugh (4-5, 6.71 ERA, 1.71 WHIP). We really blew this one, allowing 3 in the 9th to fall 7-6.

Miller went 5 innings with 4 htis, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Jake Diekman allowed a run and a hit with a strikeout. Zach Britton got the loss and blew the save, 3 runs and 3 hits in 0.2 innings.

Nolan Arenado went 4-for-5 with a two run homer, a double, and 4 RBI's. D.J. Stewart went 2-for-4 with 2 runs scored and a double. Lewis Brinson was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Anthony Alford was 0-for-3, but walked twice, got a steal, and scored.

September 22nd, 2019: The Chicago Cubs clinched their division. At 100-49, they are 15.5 games ahead of the Brewers.

We couldn't afford to get swept at home, and Miles Mikolas (11-7, 3.36 ERA, 1.28 WHIP) took on Robert Stephenson (4-10, 9.00 ERA, 2.03 WHIP). Up 3-0 heading into the 8th, we completely fell apart and lost 5-3. Wow...

At least tomorrow is off...

Mikolas went 8.1 innings... 7 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Hader tossed 0.2 innings with 2 hits, a run, and a walk.

Brandon Lowe was 2-for-4 with a solo homer and 2 runs scored. Nolan Arenado was 2-for-4 with a run scored, double, and RBI. Chance Sisco was 1-for-3 with a double and RBI. Andrelton Simmons was 1-for-2 with a walk.

September 23rd, 2019: We dropped to 12th in the Power Rankings. At 83-66, we are now tied with the Twins for the 1st Wild Card.

The Dodgers have clinched a playoff birth. At 90-60, they have a 3.5 game lead over the Padres.

Kenley Jansen recored his 300th save in a Dodgers 5-3 win over the Pirates. The 31-year-old has a career 2.01 ERA in 622.2 innings with 927 strikeouts.

The Red Sox come to town for three, and we'd see Rick Porcello (9-9, 5.00 ERA), Eduardo Rodriguez (8-7, 5.34 ERA), and Dallas Keucel (11-9, 4.67 ERA).

September 24th, 2019: At 94-56, the Indians clinched a playoff spot. They have a 11 game lead over the Twins.

The Cardinals, on the other hand, will not participate in the playoffs. At 73-78, they are 28 out of first.

We opened the series with our best pitcher, Aaron Sanchez (11-7, 2.78 ERA, 0.96 WHIP) taking on the guy who stole his Cy Young Rick Porcello (9-9, 5.00 ERA, 1.29 WHIP). It took us 12 innings, but D.J. Stewart hit a walk off homer off Cam Shepherd, and we managed to suck in a 2-1 win.

Sanchez was brilliant, 8 innings with 3 hits, a run, 2 walks, and 10 strikeouts. 7 pitchers then combined for 4 innings with a hit and 3 strikeouts. Britton, Hader, and Treinen both tossed an inning with a strike out.

Trey Mancini was 2-for-5 wiht a double and run scored. Chance Sisco 2-for-5. D.J. Stewart was 1-for-4 with a run scored and 2 RBI's. Victor Reyes was 1-for-3 with a steal.

September 25th, 2019: The Pirates will not make the playoffs, but the Padres will. Pittsburgh is 73-78 and 27.5 games out of first. San Diego is 87-64, but trails the Dodgers by 4.5 games.

Game two took place between Lucas Sims (1-1, 9.00 ERA, 1.83 WHIP) and Eduardo Rodriguez (8-7, 5.34 ERA, 1.33 WHIP) as we looked to build on our half game lead in the Wild Card hunt. A four run 5th was clutch, and we won 6-4.

Sims went 6 innings with 4 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Jake Diekman, Blake Treinen, and Donnie Hart got holds while Zach Britton fot the save. Treinen allowed a hit and run in an inning of work.

Austin Hays went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, double, and 2 runs scored. Anthony Alford was 1-for-4 with a run scored and steal. Nolan Arenado was 2-for-4.

September 26th, 2019: The Indians clinced the Central and the Brewers will make the postseason. Cleveland is 96-56 and has a 12 game lead over the Twins. The Crew are 86-66, and are two back of the Padres for the 2nd Wild Card.

We looked to finish the sweep with Reynaldo Lopez (14-6, 4.07 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) taking on Dallas Keuchel (11-9, 4.67 ERA, 1.26 WHIP). The offense came to play, and we crushed them 11-2 to finish the much needed sweep.

Lopez went 7 innings with 2 hits, a run, walk, and 9 strikeouts. Kevin Gausman tossed 2 innings with a hit, run scored, walk, and 3 strikeouts.

Anthony Alford was 3-for-5 with 2 runs, 2 doubles, and 2 RBI's. Brandon Lowe was 3-for-4 with 2 runs, and an RBI. Andrelton Simmons was 3-for-3 with 3 runs, 2 RBI's, a homer, and 2 doubles.
