April 22nd, 2022: Jameson Taillon (1-1, 1.29 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) pitched the opener as we looked to beat Eric Carter (0-1, 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) and the D'Backs. We got the upperhand today, winning 5-2.

Taillon allowed 8 hits and 2 rnus in 6 innings with just 4 strikeouts as he continued his solid start to the season. Joe Jimenez and Victor Arano earned holds and Yasukazu Shiotani got the save.

Cole Brannen was 2-for-5 was a run and a steal. Keston Hiura was 2-for-4 with a run driven in and a walk. Scott Kingery was 3-for-4 with 2 runs scored. Dustin Fowler was 1-for-2 with 2 walks, a run scored, 2 driven in, and a triple.

April 23rd, 2022: We looked to win the series a day early with A.J. Puckett (1-0, 3.31 ERA, 1.29 WHIP) taking on Taijuan Walker (2-2, 2.81 ERA, 0.97 WHIP). Marwin Gonzalez made his first start of the year, starting at 1B and hitting 7th. We allowed 4 in the 9th and dropped the middle game 9-7.

Koda Glover allowed a grand slam to Andrew Toles as the Diamondbacks walked us off. Puckett allowed 3 in 5 innings with 7 hits, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Tanner Rainey allowed 2 more in the 6th while recording just 2 outs.

Dustin Fowler had a great offensive game, 3-for-4 with a run scored, 4 driven in, a steal, and was a triple away from the cycle. Gonzalez was 2-for-3 with a home run, 2 walks, and 3 RBI's. Scott Kingery was 2-for-4 with a walk and run scored.

The Nationals ended Trammel's streak at 21 games win a 9-4 loss.

April 24th, 2022: We looked to win the series with Tyler Mahle (0-1, 3.75 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) taking on Jhoan Duran (1-1, 5.32 ERA, 1.55 WHIP) in the finale. 13 hits and 10 runs were enough to win 10-6 and taken another series on the raod.

Mahle struggled, 4 runs in 3.1 innings with 4 hits and strikeouts. Drew Steckenrider allowed 2 more in 1.2 innings off 3 hits and 2 strikeouts, as his ERA increased to 9.53. I'd likely option him if he keeps up his struggles.

Lewis Brinson was 1-for-6, but came up big with a grand slam in the 8th. Cole Brannen stole his 10th base in a 2-for-6 outing. He scored twice and drove in two. Keston Hiura doubled twice in 6 at bats with a run scored and a run driven in. Scott Kingery was 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Ryan Mountcastle was 2-for-4 with a walk and an RBI.

Austin Hays was 5-for-6 as the Orioles fell 8-7 to the Red Sox.

Tomorrow was an off day we'd used to travel to Chicago for three with the White Sox.

April 25th, 2022: The Cardinals signed RP Trevor Rosenthal to a 1-year, $10,000,000 contract. He's returning to where he started his career, after pitching with the Yankees, Marlins, Orioles, and Rockies.

We're back up to 8th in the Power Rankings.

AT 12-9, we're 2.5 back of Philadelphia, but tied for the 2nd Wild Card with the Mets. In Chicago, we'd face the 6-15 Sox and look to take the sweep on the road. We'd see Ian Clarkin (0-1, 4.76 ERA), former Marlin Marcus Stroman (0-3, 7.88 ERA), and Jose Gregorio Castillo (0-0, 1.93 ERA).

April 26th, 2022: Walker Buehler (1-2, 6.06 ERA, 1.53 WHIP) looked to bounce back against Ian Clarkin (0-1, 4.76 ERA, 0.88 WHIP) as we opened the interleague matchup. Carlos Soler played DH as we had the benefit of the DH. The inept Whtie Sox bested us 6-3...

Bueher allowed 3 runs in 5 innings off 5 hits, a walk, and 4 strikeouts. Steckenrider allowed a run in the 6rh, with a hit, 2 walks, and 2 strikeouts, and he'd be optioned. Joe Jimenez allowed 2 hits and 2 runs off a walk and 2 strikeouts in the 7th and 8th.

Andrelton Simmons was 2-for-4 with a run scored, a steal, and a double. Cole Brannen was 2-for-5 with 3 RBI's. Dustin Fowler was 2-for-4 with a solo homer.

We needed to win the next two, but before that, I optioned Steck to AAA and recalled James Farris. Farris tossed 5 scorless innings down in New Orleans and spent all of 2021 in the majors.

April 27th, 2022: Jordan Montgoemry (2-1, 2.05 ERA, 1.14 WHIP) looked to secure the win against former Marlin Marcus Stroman (0-3, 7.88 ERA, 1.50 WHIP). We battled back and won 9-3.

Montgomery went the distance, allowing 3 runs off just 4 hits with 4 strikeouts. He improved to 3-1 on the year.

Lewis Brinson picked up 2 steals and was 2-for-4 with a run scored and driven in. Dustin Fowler was 2-for-5 with a run driven in and two scored. Keston hiura was a perfect 3-for-3 with a 2 run double and then later scored. Andrelton Simmons was 2-for-3 with a walk and scored twice. Cole Brannen scored twice as well, and was 2-for-5. Victor Caratini was 1-for-5 with a three run homer off Stroman. It was a nice way to split the series.

April 28th, 2022: The Angels lossed LHP Dalla Keuchel for the rest of the year with a torn flexor tendon in his elbow. He had a rough 13 games out of the pen, with a 10.19 ERA and 2.04 WHIP.

We looked to win the series with Jameson Taillon (2-1, 1.67 ERA, 1.07 WHIP taking on Jose Gregorio Castillo (0-0, 1.93 ERA, 0.64 WHIP). It was an embarassing 6-2 loss as we turned what should have been a sweep into a series loss.

Taillon allowed 5 runs in 4.2 innings with 8 hits, a walk, and 2 strikeouts. James Farris was charged with the last run, just a single run in 2 innings off 2 hits, 2 walks, and a srikeout.

Scott Kingery was 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Dustin Fowler and Marwin Gonzalez both went 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Delino DeShields was 5-for-5 as the Astros beat the A's 8-0.

Up next is another bad, team the 9-16 Natoinals in Miami, but we couldn't beat the Sox, so who says we can beat the Nats? At 13-11, we're 2.5 games out of first adn 0.5 a game behind Atlanta for the 2nd Wild Card. We'd see Frecier Perez (0-4, 5.54 ERA), Sonny Warner (0-3, 6.08 ERA), Miguel Almonte (0-2, 4.91 ERA), and Erling Moreno (2-2, 6.52 ERA). Let's finish April strong!
