Real Life Sidenote: I'm heading to Miami in real life today, and I'm going to catch a Marlins game tomorrow. It'll be fun to see the difference between what the real life Marlins and my Marlins did on May 10th, 2018. It'll also be fun to see a game in a new park.

Setpember 14th, 2021: The Los Angeles Angels have been eliminated from postseason contetion. They are currently 60-86 and a whopping 40 games out of first.

Jhonathan Diaz (0-0, 7.71 ERA, 1.71 WHIP) will make his first career major league start against Jordan Montgomery (7-4, 4.05 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) as we host the Philadelphia Phillies. Montgomery is just 3 years older, but has made 124 major league starts before today. Diaz was brilliant in his debut, as the Phillies won 6-1.

Montgomery allowed 4 runs in 4.2 innings with 8 hits, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Both Max Povse and James Farris allowed single runs as well.

We only had 4 hits and the were all singles. Cole Brannen was 1-for-3 with a walk and scored the only run on a Victor Caratini single. He also picked up 2 more steals. He has 12 more steals then any other big leaguer, as well as the Red Sox, Yankees, Indians, Mariners, Mets, Phillies, Cardinals, and Rockies.

September 15th, 2021: The Detroit Tigers were eliminated from the playoffs today.

I designated the last healthy player not in the majors Manuel De Jesus Rodriguez. The 25-year-old spent his season down at the A and A+ levels, but pitched extremely well. I did that to purchase the contract of Jairo Labourt, a 2.5/3* 27-year-old with nasty stuff and great movement.

Jameson Taillon (6-10, 3.85 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) took on Mike Clevinger (7-11, 4.50 ERA, 1.32 WHIP) in game two. Seth Beer looked to make his first at bat, this time at first and hitting third. Beer was 2-for-4 with a solo homer in his first big league at bat in an 11-5 victory.

Taillon allowed 5 in 5.2 innings off 6 hits, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. A.J. Puckett, now in the pen, got the win after striking out the last hitter in the 7th. Victor Arano got a hold in the 8th, but we after scoring 4 in the 7th, we scored 4 more in the 8th.

Cole Brannen was 1-for-3 with 4 RBI's, 2 runs scored, and 2 walks. He hit a three run homer off ector Neris in the 8th. Nick Feight took Hunter Harvey deep in the 7th, and was 2-for-4 with 2 runs scored and 2 driven in. Dustin Fowler swiped two bags and was 1-for-3 with 2 runs scored and a walk.

24-year-old Rafael Devers boosted his hit streak to 20 with a pair of hits in an 8-7 Red Sox loss to the rival Yankees. Devers already has 827 hits in his young career, and won the AL Batting Title last season.

September 16th, 2021: Jairo Solis was activated from the DL and was added to the big league roster. The 21-year-old made 1 start in the majors this season, recording a loss with 5 runs and 5 innings.

The A's and Padres were both eliminated from the playoffs.

We looked to win the series with Walker Buehler (2-2, 3.66 ERA, 1.47 WHIP) taking on JoJo Romero (6-9, 3.56 ERA, 1.22 WHIP). D.J. Wilson hit 8th and made his major league debut in CF. He was 1-for-3 with a walk, but we fell 6-2.

Buehler allowed half the runs in 6 innings. He walked 3, struck out 8, and allowed 5 hits. Jairo Labourt allowed a run and just got 1 out, while Victor Arano allowed 2 more finishing the 8th against his former team.

Cole Brannen was 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles. Andrelton Simmons was 2-for-4 with a double and a run driven in. Scott Kingery, Lewis Brinson, and Victor Caratini also had doubles, their only hits of the contest.

I was extremely dissapointed to lose the series, but we had to keep playing ball. We'd host the 58-91 Natoinals for three. At 87-62, we still have a 6.5 game cushion on the 2nd Wild Card, but the Mets have a 8 game lead, and officially clinched a playoff birth with their win today.

Looking ahead to the Nats series, we'd see Miguel Almonte (3-3, 3.61 ERA), Randall Delgado (4-8, 3.19 ERA), and Freicer Perez (1-9, 5.20 ERA).

Septemebr 17th, 2021: The Indians clinched a playoff birth today.

The Tigers lost Michael Bacica, a 21-year-old, for the season with a ruptured finger tendon. The 4th Rounder back in 2018 was 2-7 with a 6.46 ERA in his rookie season.

Zach Davies (9-7, 3.67 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) got the ball in the opener against Miguel Almonte (3-3, 3.61 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) as we hosted Washington. It was a nice easy one, winning 7-1 with a 6 run 3rd.

Davies was great, 1 run in 7 innings with a walk, 5 hits, and 3 strikeouts. Puckett and Clouse both pitched an inning with 1 walk and 2 strikeouts.

Scott Kingery doubled twice and drove in three in four at bats, while also scoring once. Andrelton Simmons had a pair of singles in 4 at bats, and drove in a run. Victor Caratini was 1-for-2 with 2 wakls, a run scored, and another driven in.

Chris DeVito, a player I tried acquiring earlier in the year, hit 3 homers in a 9-2 Royals win over the White Sox. That's more homers in one game the Hiura has had in a Marlins uniform.

September 17th, 2021: The Indians clinched the AL Central, and both the Reds and Mariners will have to go another year without reaching the postseason.

We looked to get closer to clinching a spot, with Danny Duffy (9-7, 3.82 ERA, 1.16 WHIP) battling Randall Delgado (4-8, 3.19 ERA, 1.25 WHIP) as Duffy looked to become the first Marlin starter to win double digit games this year. It took 10 innings, but we edged the last place Nationals 5-4.

Duffy went just 5, allowing 3 runs off 6 hits, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts. 5 pitchers pitched the 6th, 7th, and 8th, before Yasukazu Shiotani blew the save in the 9th. Drew Steckenrider pitched a scorless 10th, and was rewareded with his 4th win of the season.

Ryan Mountcastle walked it off with an RBI single after starting the game 0-for-4 with 3 strikeouts. Dustin Fowler had a monster game, 4-for-5 with 2 runs scored, 3 driven in, and a 2-run homer. He also stole his 36th base of the year. Garrett Hampson was 2-for-2 with 2 runs scored, a walk, and a steal. Ti'Quan Forbes was 1-for-4 with a double, a steal, and a run scored.

September 19th, 2021: We looked to finish off the sweep with Jordan Montgomery (7-5, 4.17 ERA, 4.17 WHIP) battling Frecier Perez (1-9, 5.20 ERA, 1.61 WHIP). We tired to battle back with 3 in the 7th and 1 in the 8th, but we dropped the contest 6-5.

We recieved a scare when Montgomery left the game after 2.1 perfect innings with a hamstring injury. Luckily, it's minor, and he'll be able to make his next start. But actually, not like the real life Mets and Jacob deGrom...

A.J. Puckett was charged with the loss, allowing 4 runs in 2.1 innings off 3 hits, a walk, and 3 strikeouts. In his defense, he had no idea he would have to entter the game. Max Povse allowed 2 more in 2.1 innings of mop up work. He has no excuse...

Andrelton Simmons went 2-for-3 with a two run homer off Matt Wisler in the 7th. Seth Beer was 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI on a sac fly. Cole Brannen (59) and Dustin Fowler (37) both swiped bags in the loss.

Here's a shocking one, the Tampa Bay Rays are headed to the postseason. At 89-62, they have clinched a spot, and shockingly both Florida teams (we're 89-63) look like they can make noise in the playoffs. What's most shocking is just recently they had 77 wins, and have won 12-6 in September at 17-10 in August.

I also outrighted Manuel De Jesus Rodriguez down to Class A Greensborro.

Just a game below 90 wins and the season ticking down, we'd host the Braves in our last home series. We'd face Luiz Gohara (8-11, 4.64 ERA), Mike Soroka (9-12, 4.54 ERA), and Lucas Sims (9-7, 3.83 ERA). Atlanta is 4.5 games out of the 2nd Wild Card, so they really needed these wins. Our magic number for the playoffs was just 3, so get ready to start buying tickets for the Wild Card game in beautiful Marlins Park!
