July 21st, 2020: I have to keep reworking the Shaw-Duffy trade. They want too much to add, but I still need salary help.

On to the first game after the break, Jordan Montgomery (3-5, 3.47 ERA, 1.10 WHIP) was on the mound as we took on the Brewers and Brandon Woodruff (5-5, 4.90 ERA, 1.38 WHIP). New faces in the lineup, with Almora in center and Brannen in right. We did not get off on the right first, dropping the away opener 7-2.

The previously hot Montgomery allowed 5 off 6 hits in 3.2 innings while walking 1 and striking out 3. Ian Gardeck allowed 2 off 5 hits in 1.2 innings of relief.

We had just 6 hits, including Brannen's first career hit, and RBI double in the 6th off Adrian Houser. Newcomer Albert Almora had a pair of hits and his former teammate Victor Caratini doubled and scored off the Brannen double. Both Brannen and Almora stole bases.

July 22nd, 2020: The Brewers lost 3B Brett Lawrie for the year with a torn ACL. We did not see him yesterday.

Zach Davies (7-5, 4.63 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) faced his former team and Carson Fulmer (4-8, 4.76 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) in game two. Revenge is best served in a shutout, this time a 3-0 version.

Davies went 8, allowed just 3 hits and a walk, while striking out 3. He got a lot of fly outs, 14 during the game. Brach finished it off with his 19th save as every game he pitches could be the last in a Marlin uniform.

We only had 5 hits, the biggest a three run homer by D.J. Peters. Marcus Semien had two hits and stole a base, and Ryan Mountcastle doubled in the 9th.

July 23rd, 2020: I finalized the Danny Duffy deal, acquiring him from the Royals for 1B Chris Shaw and 3B Lucas Erceg. 65% of Duffy's salary will be retained, meaning next year he will cost just $5.4 million. He should make his debut for us in September after making a full recovery. If he does, this is a definite steal, and our rotation will be dangerous next season if everything goes right.

We looked to pick up the series win with Zack Wheeler (4-10, 4.95 ERA, 1.53 WHIP) taking on Corbin Burnes (2-5, 4.63 ERA, 1.34 WHIP). A solid pitching outing from Wheeler was enough for a 5-2 win.

Wheeler went 5, allowing 9 hits, but just 2 runs, a walk, and he struck out 7. David Phelps, Drew Steckenrider, and Yasukauz Shiotani got holds, with Brach another save.

We had 10 hits in today's victory, including three from Nicky Delmonico. He doubled, singled, and hit a two run shot, just a triple shy of the cycle. Lewis Brinson homered as well in a two hit trip and added a stolen base, while Marcus Semien had a pair of singles. Cole Brannen hit his first career homer off Burnes to leadoff the game.

The Rockies Cubs game had a few nice hitting performances. Javy Baez had a 5 hit game and David Dahl hit for the cycle. Dahl and the Rox won the game 10-8. The Rockies, in fact, are our next opponent.

We'd be at Coors Field for four, featuring Hunter Williams (3-3, 4.37 ERA), former Marlin Adam Conley (3-7, 5.53 ERA), Jon Gray (6-10, 5.27 ERA), and German Marquez (5-11, 5.21 ERA).

July 24th, 2020: Yonny Chirinos (1-1, 5.79 ERA, 1.55 WHIP) got the start against Hunter Williams (3-3, 4.37 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) and the Rockies to open the four game set. The bats were working, and we pulled off a 8-3 win.

Chirinos kept himself in the rotation with 6 innings of solid work. He allowed 6 hits, 2 walks, 3 runs, and struck out 5 while earning the win.

We had 11 hits as a team, and the young Brannen had three of them and scored once. Albert Almora and Marcus Semine hit homers, and Victor Caratini and Lewis Brinson doubled. Semien, Caraini, and Almora drove in two a piece. Nicky Delmonico had a pair of singles and a walk, while scoring twice.

After the game I shopped a few players around, but nothing really sounded right.

July 25th, 2020: Game two saw Ty Blach (3-7, 5.83 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) face former Marlin Adam Conley (3-7, 5.53 ERA, 1.66 WHIP). Today's outcome was different, as we fell 4-3.

Blach allowed 3 (2 earned) with 8 hits, 2 walks, and 3 stirke outs. Kevin Chapman allowed the final run in the 7th, but we were already down 3-1 at that point.

We had 7 hits, including two from D.J. Peters. He doubled and hit a 2-run homer off Jake McGee. Garrett Hampson had a single, walked twice, and stole a base.

It finally happened, I traded Brad Brach and Shelby Miller to the Angels for CL Cam Bedrosian and RF Brandon Marsh.

This is a big risk, but I rather get something then nothing for Brach. Bedrosian is heading into his final year of arbitration, but it will be about 9 months before he can pitch again as he tore his flexor tendon. The son of a former big leaguer, Bedrosian is ranked as a 4.5* reliever, and if he can heal, will be a dominate closer. Marsh is good too, a very good defensive RF with nice contact and gap power. He's got great speed as is rated as a 1.5/3* at just 22. I will miss Brach, but I can always resign him in the offseason, and he gets to pitch in a pennant race.

July 26th, 2020:The Rockies traded CF Billy Hamilton and LF Samir Lara to the Dodgers for RHP Kenta Maeda. I'm a little shocked, but based on my scout, the Rockies got the much better end of the deal.

Anyways, we'd face them and send Jordan Montgomery (3-6, 3.77 ERA, 1.13 WHIP) to the mound against Jon Gray (6-10, 5.27 ERA, 1.55 WHIP). I recalled former Rockie Antonio Senzatela from his rehab assignment, but he wouldn't pitch this series. We took this one 4-2, and ensured at least a split in the series.

Montgomery allowed 7 hits in 5.2 innings and both runs, but he didn't walk a hitter and struck out 10. David Phelps finished the 6th and got a hold, but left with an injury. Nick Rumbelow, Drew Steckenrider, and Brian Duensing got holds, and new closer Shiotani got his 2nd save. His ERA is 1.01 on the year.

We had just 8 hits, 7 singles and a Delmonico double. Albert Almora scored and drove in a run in the only two hit game for us. We didn't do much with the bats, but it was enough for the win.

Matt Carpenter got 5 hits in a 17-3 Royals win over the Orioles.

July 27th, 2020: SS Luis Verdugo was named NYP Player of the week. Acquired from the Cubs with Caratini in an offseason deal, he went 14-for-27 with 4 RBI's for A- Batavia.

I recalled RHP James Farris from AAA and optioned LHP Ty Blach. Farris tossed 9.2 innings in AAA New Orleans and worked to a 1.86 ERA and 1.03 WHIP.

Zach Davies (8-5, 4.30 ERA, 1.33 WHIP) was on the mound against German Marquez (5-11, 5.21 ERA, 1.45 WHIP) as we looked to win the series. Instead, we were shutout 1-0 and had to settle for a split.

Davies walked 2 and struck out 6 in his 6 innings of work. He allowed the one run and 6 hits in the loss.

We had 5 hits, 4 singles and an Albert Almora double. Cole Brannen singled, walked, and stole a base, but we didn't have any kind of offense, despite the altitude of Coors Field.

Sitting at a 44-56 record, we headed home to face the 45-56 Pirates for three. We'd see Steven Brault (2-8, 5.56 ERA), Charlie Morton (3-2, 5.02 ERA), and Brandon Waddell (4-5, 5.96 ERA). It'd be an interesting series, and we'd hopefully make a few more moves before the upcoming deadline.
