August 10th, 2021: Our series hosting Phiadelphia opened with A.J. Puckett (1-2, 2.17 ERA, 1.12 WHIP) hosting JoJo Romero (3-7, 3.57 ERA, 1.25 WHIP). Coming into the game, Andrelton Simmons is a perfect 4-for-4 against Romero. Make that 5-for-6 as we won the opener 5-1.

Puckett tossed a gem, going 8.1 innings with just 1 walk, 1 run, 4 hits, and 5 strikeouts to lower his Marlins ERA to 1.83. Tanner Rainey got the final 2 outs of the game.

Simmons was 2-for-3 with a double and one of our four stolen bases. Lewis Brinson was 2-for-4 with a three run homer and a stolen base, his 20th of the year. Cole Brannen was 0-for-2, but walked twice, drove in a run, scored, and of course, stole a base.

August 11th, 2021: The Angels are going to be without left handed reliever Holby Milner for the duration of the season. He tore his flexor tendon.

Game two saw Marcos Molina (10-6, 3.49 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) who is currently day to day with a strained abdominal muscle. He'd face Danny Duffy (7-5, 3.23 ERA, 1.12 WHIP) as we looked to take the series a day early. The Phillies started strong, scoring 5 in the 1st, but we battled back for 8 in the 4th. Both teams scored 1 more in the 5th, and that was all in the 9-6 win.

Duffy didn't have his best game, allowing 6 hits, 5 runs, a walk, but he struck out 4 in 3 innings. James Farris, now 6-1, got the win, tossing 2 innings while allowing just 1 run. Kenyan Middleton, Tyler Jay, and Tanner Rainey earned holds, and Yasukzau Shiotani picked up the save. Rainey struck out the side in the 8th, and he's really blossomed since leaving Colorado.

Andrelton Simmons was 1-for-4 with a walk, a double, and 3 RBI's. Brian Anderson went 2-for-4 with a run scored and 2 RBI's. Keston Hiura tripled home a run to record his 10th RBI in 10 games. Lewis Brinson and Dustin Fowler both went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. The only difference is Brinson scored once and Fowler scored twice.

The win also gave us a 5 game cushion over the 2nd Wild Card, but we're still 4 games out of first.

August 12th, 2021: We lost 4th Rounder Josh Windom to the year with radial nerve compression. Hopefully, it won't hamper the 19-year-old's future potential too much, especially considering his start to pro ball hasn't exactly gone as plan. He'll finish 2021 1-7 with a 7.26 ERA, 1.82 WHIP, and 23 walks compared to 13 strikeouts.

We looked to finish off the sweep with Jordan Montgomery (5-4, 4.03 ERA, 1.27 WHIP) taking on Mike Clevinger (6-9, 4.38 ERA, 1.26 WHIP). The Phillies Rhys Hoskins has really had Monty's number, 11-for-21 with 2 homers. We scored three in the 8th to edge out a 8-7 win and the sweep.

It was a rough start for Montgomery, allowing 6 runs off 7 hits in 2.2 innings. Ironically, he got all 5 of the outs via the strikeout. Max Povse allowed the last run in his 2.1 innings of mop up, allowing 5 hits, but striking out three. Corbin Clouse got the win, pitching a scorless 8th and Shiotani got the save, despite walking two and needing 25 pitches to finish the side.

Andrelton Simmons had a monster game, goign 3-for-3 with a walk, a three-run homer, and 5 total RBI's. Cole Brannen was 2-for-5 with 2 RBI's, but was caught stealing. Dustin Fowler was 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. Scott Kingery scored three times and went 1-for-2 with a walk and hit by pitch. Former Marlin Hunter Harvey was charged with the loss, allowing the 3 runs in the 8th.

Garrett Hampson is up to 25 games with his hit streak. When rosters expand, he's going to be a nice spark to add back to the big league club.

August 13th, 2021: Today was an off day that we could spend in beautiful Miami.

The Braves lost LHP Max Fried for the year with shoulder inflammation. He was 5-4 with a 4.58 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with 68 strikeouts and 30 walks in 77 innings.

Now just 3.5 back from the Mets with a 70-47 record, we'd host the 74-43 first place Dodgers. They'd send Alex Wood (3-7, 3.95 ERA), Clayton Kershaw (3-2, 3.53 ERA), and Danny Salazar (11-2, 3.09 ERA). Let's get revenge for the earlier sweep!

August 14th, 2021: Wood (3-7, 3.95 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) and Jameson Taillon (6-7, 3.65 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) swaured off in today's matchup. LA got the best of us, winning 3-1.

Taillon allowed all 3, allowing 4 hits in his 5 innings. He walked 1 and struck out 6. Koda Glover pitched 2 innings of relief effort, striking out 4.

Dustin Fowler was 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles. Andrelton Simmons was 2-for-4 with an RBI, but also committed an error. Scott Kingery was 2-for-4 as well.

Guess who just tossed a 2-hit shutout? None other then Angels SP Alex Balog, in a 3-0 win over the A's. He's now 5-9 with a 5.21 ERA on the season.

August 15th, 2021: Zach Davies (6-6, 3.81 ERA, 1.31 WHIP) took on Clayton Kershaw (3-2, 3.53 ERA, 1.08 WHIP) as we looked to bounce back. Nolan Arrenado loves facing Davies, 7-for-10 with a homer. Leading off for the Dodgers happened to be CF Anthony Alford. Well, there were no homers hit today, as it took 14 innings for a run to be scored. KestoN Hiura hit a walk off single off Kenley Jansen as we shut out the Dodgers 1-0.

Let's start with the bad: Dustin Fowler was injured in a collision at a base, suffering a herniated disc in his neck and will head to the DL for just 1-2 weeks.

Davies was amazing, going 8.1 innings, allowing just 5 hits and a walk, while stirking out 3. Tanner Rainey pitched the 10th and 11th and struck out 4. Tyler Jay allowed 3 hits in the 12th and 13th, but struck out 4 as well. Corbin Clouse earned the win, now 6-1, striking out 2 and walking 1 in the 14th.

We had 15 hits, and just 1 of them was not a single. Charlie Tilson, who replaced Fowler, went 2-for-5 with a steal, a run scored, and a double. Keston Hiura, who won the game, was 4-for-6 with a walk. Lewis Brinson was 3-for-5 with a walk.

Garrett Hampson's streak was ended today, but I considered calling him up to replace Fowler.

August 16th, 2021: Despite my better judgement, Hampson earned the callup. I only had three natural outfielders on the roster, Brinson, Tilson, and Brannen, but Dubon, Anderson, and Hampson can all play a little outfield. Kingery can too, but he's still starting at second.

August 16th, 2021: We jumped the Mets in the Power Rankings, now 5th and they are 6th. We're also just 2.5 games out!

We looked to win the LA series with A.J. Puckett (2-2, 2.05 ERA, 1.06 WHIP) facing Danny Salazar (11-2, 3.09 ERA, 1.06 WHIP). Hampson was in the lineup and played SS. We almost shut the Dodgers out again, but they scored 1 in the 9th to make it 7-1.

Puckett was brilliant, and what a steal he' been off waivers. He tossed 7.1 scorless innings with just 1 walk, 5 htis, and he struck out 5. The former Royals 2nd Rounder seems to have found his spot in Miami after moving around a bit earlier in his career.

Ryan Mountcastle was great, 3-for-5 with a homer, a steal, 3 runs scored, and 2 RBI's. Keston Hiura doubled and tripled in 5 at bats, scoring once, and driving in two. Cole Brannen was 2-for-5 and scored twice. Both Scott Kingery and Charlie Tilson were 2-for-4, with the latter also picking up a stolen base.

We'd hit the road to play the last place Nationals as we started a long road trip. We'd see Randall Delgado (3-7, 3.27 ERA), Jerad Eickhoff (5-5, 7.13 ERA), and Freicer Perez (1-6, 4.50 ERA).
