September 20th, 2019: A little playoff action: The Red Sox are officilaly in the playoffs and the Padres have been eliminated. Boston is 91-56 and 5.5 games ahead of the Yankees while San Diego is 65-82 and 41 games out of 1st.

Jordan Montgomery (5-2, 3.07 ERA, 1.15 WHIP) was back on the mound for the first time in months to open the series in Philadelphia against JoJo Romero (4-4, 2.87 ERA, 1.21 WHIP). It took 12 innings, but we pulled off the upset and won 7-5.

Montgomery was on a low pitch count, and went only 3 innings. He allowed 5 hits and a walk while allowing 3 runs. He struck out ust 1 batter. Gsellman wasn't perfect in long relief, but allowed just a solo shot and a walk in 3 innings, while recording 3 strike outs. Nick Rumbelow earned the win, pitching scorless 11th and 12th.

We had 14 hits including three homers courtesy of Teoscar Hernandez, Lewis Brinson, and Nicky Delmonico. Brandon Lowe and Anthony Alford andded doubles of their own, Lowe's in the 12th off former Marlin Nick Wittgren. Lowe was 2-for-6, scoring the iwnning run and driving in 2. Adeiny Hechavarraia was 3-for-5, but committed an erorr. Brinson and Hernandez droce in 2 runs a piece.

September 21st, 2019: D.J. Peters rejoined the active roster, bringing the total to a full 40.

The Mariners will be without 26-year-old rookie Matt Festa for 16 months! 16! He tore his rotator cuff. He's not the best reliever out there, but he's definitely a solid middle inning guy, so it's a big blow.

Peters was in the lineup in right and hit 5th as Zack Wheeler (8-11, 3.63 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) met up with Ben Lively (7-5, 4.30 ERA, 1.20 WHIP).

The hometown Philies secured game 2 with an 8-4 win. Peters did homer in the 1st, his first at bast since coming off the DL. He finished 2-for-4.

Wheeler allowed 4 in 5 innings off just 3 hits, but he walked 3 while striking otu 4. Mychael Givens got the loss, allowing 3 in 0.2 innings. He struck out both batters he got out.

Despite the 4 runs, we had just 4 hits. Brinson doubled, Alford hoemred, and Luis Torrens singled to go with Peters' homer and single. Brinson and Alford drove in the other two runs, and the latter stole base number 28.

September 22nd, 2019: Heath Hembree cleared waivers and was outrighted to AAA New Orleans.

The rubber match saw Adalberto Mejia (6-9, 3.76 ERA, 1.25 WHIP) face Ranger Suarez (4-1, 4.80 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) in a battle of southpaws. We were curshed, as the Phillies scored 11 runs despite just 9 hits. Rhys Hoskins hit 3 homers, driving in 8 runs, giving him 134 on the season. He's on pace for 146.

Mejia was hit hard, 7 runs in 4.2 innings with 2 walks, 5 hits, and 6 strikeouts. In relief, Cody Anderson struggled, 3 runs in the last 1.1 innings of the game. Eshleman pitched out of the pen as well, 1 hit and a run in 0.2 innings.

Wehad just 6 hits, 2 of them came from Brian Anderson. Lewis Brinson and Tyler Saladino doubled, while the only run came from a Jett Bandy solo homer in the 5th. We were off to New York for two before a day off.

Looking ahead, we'd just see Noah Syndergaard (8-10, 3.02 ERA) and Marcos Molina (9-4, 3.24 ERA).

September 23rd, 2019: We're down to 22nd in the Power Rankings...

The quick series opened with Thor (8-10, 3.02 ERA, 0.98 WHIP) on the mound against Colin McHugh (8-12, 4.89 ERA, 1.46 WHIP). We scored 4 in the 7th and 4 in the 9th to take the opener 10-7.

McHugh didn't last long, allowing 2 in 4.2 innings off 4 hits, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Dillon Peters struggled in an inning of work, allowing 3 of 2 hits and 3 walks. Drew Steckenrider had trouble as well, allowing 2 runs of a homer, while only recording 1 out. Brad Brach picked up the save, his 31st by tossing a hitless 9th.

We managed 12 hits, as Lewis Brinson lead the way with a monster outing. He was 4-for-5 with two homers, 5 runs driven in, and he scored 3 times as well. Nicky Delmonico hit a 3-run shot in the 7th, and Teoscar Hernandez a 2-out solo homer in the 6th. D.J. Peters had a pinch hit double and score in the 9th on one of Brinson's homers. We could pick up the quick sweep tommorow.

September 24th, 2019: Jeff Hoffman (3-2, 3.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) took on Marcos Molina (9-4, 3.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) in the final game of the series as Citi Field.

Hoffman pitched just 4 innings, allowing 3 hits and a run, but he walked 4. He also struck out 5. Tom Eshelman allowed a run in the 5th, but was lucky enough to get the win as we were up 3-2. We put up 2 in the 6th, and earned the sweep with a 5-2 victory. Brach pitcked up save 32, while Givens, Jake Diekman, and John Curtiss earned holds.

Brian Anderson was a perfect 4-for-4 with 2 runs scored and driven in. He was a triple away from the cycle, with 2 doubles and a homer. Lewis Brinson added in 3 singles, while Jett Bandy and Brandon Lowe had doubles of their own. Lowe had a single as well, and sored a run.

We got tommorow off!

September 25th, 2019: Welp, we were eliminated from the playoffs today, as were the Royals and Giants, while Philadelphia clinched a postseason spot. At 73-79, a huge improvement from last year, we were set to finish back at mediocirty, but I was confident for much improvement next year. We've got a lot of young talnet and salary space to use for upgrades that I'll mention once the season ends.

Looking ahead we'd return home for 7 (4 agasint Atlanta, 3 against the Mets), have a day off, and then finish the season in San Frnacisco for three. The end of the season would be October 6th.

Fousing on the Braves series, we'd see Patrick Weigel (1-0, 6.23 ERA), Sean Newcomb (8-6, 2.92 ERA), Mike Soroka (12-9, 4.41 ERA), and Luiz Gohara (6-7, 3.33 ERA). The Braves are an impressive 89-63, 3 games behind Philly and 5.5 up over Arizona for the 1st Wild Card spot. They had an extra 3.5 games ahead of the Mets, who trailed the D'Backs. They needed these wins, but we wouldn't make it easy on them!
