May 31st-June 5th: We entered the Big Apple, with Brad Peacock (4-3, 2.56 ERA, 1.22 WHIP) taking the mound against the deGrominator Jacob deGrom (2-3, 4.87 ERA, 1.11 WHIP). Now 30, he's not as scary as last season.

Well, it didn't really work out well in the opener, and we fell 9-2. Peacock didn't have his best stuff, allowing 6 hits and 4 runs in 2.2 innings. He struck out 3 and didn't walk a batter. Luis D. Pedromo struggled, allowing 4 tuns off 4 hits in 1.1 innings, so he may be out of a job soon.

We didn't hit too well, jsut 6 hits, with only the vet Ian Kinsler recording more then 1. He tripled and singled. Ryon Healy and Tyler Saladino doubled, but there really wasn't anything else worth reporting on.

June 1st, 2019: Lewis Brinson was named the NL Rookie of the Month. He hit .292 with 6 doubles, 2 triples, and 5 homers. He drove in 25 tuns and scored 12 times.

The Jays took a big hit, losing Osuna for the rest of the year with a torn rotator cuff. The 24-year-old has racked up 131 saves already in his young career.

Game two took place between Colin McHugh (4-3, 4.40 ERA, 1.37 WHIP) and Matt Harvey (1-0, 4.15 ERA, 1.26 WHIP).

Let's just say it's hard to win a game when you allow 6 unearned runs in the 5th inning. Charlie Tilson made his first error of the year, which ruined McHugh's afternoon. In 4.2 innings, he gave up 6 hits and a walk, but who knows how much better his statline would be without the error. He struck out 3 in the 8-2 loss.

And we only had 2 hits, Tilson and Kinsler. Kinsler hit a solo shot off Matt Harvey in the 4th, and Brinson hit a sac fly in the 1st to drive in Tilson. Now, we're 26-26 and .500, as the Mets passed us for 3rd in the division.

June 2nd, 2019: Michael Pineda will miss 4-5 months with a sore shoulder. Then Twins righty missed all of last year with an injury, and he could miss the rest of this seaosn.

We had to salvage one victory in this series, but had to face the tough lefty Chris Sale (2-1, 1.74 ERA, 0.90 WHIP). We have a lefty of our own, Adalberto Mejia (2-5, 3.55 ERA, 1.25 WHIP). I gave the struggling Adeiny Hechavarria a day off in favor of Tyler Saladino. Saladino would hit 2nd and play short.

The game went 11 innings, where Peter Alonso hit a pinch hit, walk off, three run home run off Kevin Chapman to finish the sweep. This. Series. Sucked.

Mejia pitched alright, allowing 3 hits and 2 runs in 5 innings. He struck out 3, but walked 6. Jake Diekkman struck out the side in the 6th, but also walked 2 and allowed a hit. Phelps was charged with one of the three runs, the other two to Chapman, who threw 1 pitch (he intentionally walked Yoenis Cespedes) which was a first pitch homer as mentioned.

Lewis Brinson hit his 11th homer off Sale in the 6th. Miguel Rojas had a 3-for-4 game and walked once and stole a base. Ian Kinsler and Jett Bandy doubled. But none of it mattered, we were swept.

Mark Reynolds, now a Philly, hiy his 300th career home run in an 11-10 loss to the Red Sox at historical Fenway Park.

We were on to Baltimore, but I was far too upset to enjoy the trip. We wre swept by the Mets and now fell back under .500. Maybe this is more of what we're like as a team, and more losses could be in the future. We'd see Paul Fry (2-3, 4.50 EAR), Jesus Liranzo (0-0, 2.45 ERA), and Tanner Scott (3-3, 5.93 ERA). None of these names scared me, so we could possibly sweep the 21-33 O's and break even for the road trip before finishing it with 4 in Philly. The Draft is also almost here, taking place on the last day of the Orioles series.

June 3rd, 2019: The Jays took another pitching hit, losing Marcus Stroman for the year with a bone spur in his elbow. OOTP is not too kind to Stroman, as he hasn't had much success and has dealt with two rough injuries. He left his first start after a compete game loss to the Orioles after finishing rehab from a torn UCL.

Ouch, back down to 20th in the Power Rankings, more familiar territory.

Zack Wheeler (3-2, 3.05 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) was greeted by Paul Fry (2-3, 4.50 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) at Camden Yards.

We were shut down, dropping 2-1 after former Oriole Brad Brach was walked off of in the 11th after pitching a perfect 10th.

Wheeler went 5.2 innings with 4 hits, 1 walk, 6 strike outs and an unearned run. So you're telling me we should have won 1-0? Not loset 2-1 in 11 innings? Man...

The worst part is we had 11 hits, and only managed 1 run. Charlie Tilson came off the bench and went 2-for-2 after pinch hitting for DH Ryon Healy. Anthony Alford doubled twice in 6 at bats. Ian Kinsler drove in the lone run and was 2-for-4. Teoscar Hernandez doubled and scored, while Tyler Saladino tripled in the 7th inning in a 2-for-5 day.

June 4th, 2019: The Brewers were next in line to make a bad offer for Drew Steckenrider. I know we've lost a bunch in a row, but I'm not moving him for a teenager with no potential.

Okay, we had to win this one. Jordan Montomgery (4-2, 2.98 ERA, 1.11 WHIP) was taking on Tanner Scott (3-3, 5.93 ERA, 2.12 WHIP). If we lost this one, I honestly don't know what I'd do...

Luckily, we don't have to find out...

Montgomery didn't earn the win, but allowed just 2 in 6 innings. He allowed 5 hits, 3 walks, and then struck out 8. He left with a no decision, but we were down 2-0 when he left. We scored 1 in the 7th and then 3 in the 8th, and secured the 4-2 win. Barraclough got the win, Blevins the hold, and shockinlgy Pedromo the save. All three pitchers were perfect, no hits or walks allowed. Barraclough struch out 1, the only one between them. Brach was too tired to close, so shockingly Pedromo did.

Ryon Healy was responsible for the 7th inning run, a solo shot. Jett Bandy scored and drove in a run with his 8th inning double. He walked as well. Saladino had a pair of hits and scored, and Hernandez walked twice and scored.

Phew, we finally won a game. It felt really, really nice. And tommorow is the Amateur Draft!

June 4th, 2019: Brad Peacock (4-4, 3.09 ERA, 1.27 WHIP) took on Jesus Liranzo (0-0, 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) in the rubber match.

Today was nice, we picked up 2 in the 1st and then a whopping 6 in the 5th. I think that's more then the whole Mets series...

Peacock allowed just 2 in 7 innings (both runs in the 7th), which is longer then he usually goes. He allowed 5 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 7. Pedromo finished the game. It wasn't pretty, he allowed 3 hits and 2 walks, but we still won 8-2. And we're back to .500.

Shockingly, we had just 9 hits, considering we've had 10+ with just a single run. We really made the most of those 9 hits. Alford had 3 of them, in cluding a pair of doubles, a run scored, and 3 RBI's, with a walk. Joe Mauer doubled home arun and scored twice. Lewis Brinson and Ian Kinsler both hit two run homers for their only hits of the game.

Another vet hit his 300th homer, this time the Mets Jay Bruce in a 5-3 win.

So we were able to salvage the series before heading to Philly for four. If we sweep, we can narrow the gap between us from five to one. Sadly, Atlanta (0.5) and the Mets (4.5) are still ahead, so they'd probably hop the Phils if we sweep.

On to the draft, which will be a special, Amateur Draft edition post!
