September 17th, 2024: We opened the home series against the Nationals with Mike Soroka (8-5, 4.82 ERA, 1.32 WHIP) taking on Jay Groome (7-7, 4.14 ERA, 1.23 WHIP). We scored 4 in the 7th to win the opener 8-3.

Soroka went 6 with 6 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Garrett McDaniels got a hold in 1.2 innings with a hit, walk, and 3 strikeouts.

Shoehi Ohtani was 2-for-4 with a double, homer, 2 runs, and 3 RBI's. Mickey Moniak was 2-for-5 with a double and run scored. Seth Beer was 1-for-2 with a double, run scored, and RBI. Thomas Dillard was 2-for-3 with a run scored, 2 RBI's, and a sac fly. Lazaro Armenteros was 1-for-2 with 3 runs scored, a double, and 2 walks. Max Marusak was 1-for-4 with an RBI and his first big league hit in his first career start.

Brewers' SP Bobby Nicholson tossed a 3-hit shutout in a 5-0 win over the Reds.

September 18th, 2024: The Minnesota Twins clinched the AL Central today. At 90-57, they will return to the playoffs for the third straight year.

We looked to take the series a day early with Walker Buehler (6-8, 4.42 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) taking on Erling Moreno (5-5, 3.97 ERA, 1.27 WHIP). They evened it up with a 4-3 win off a bases loaded walk by Jorge Moya.

Buehler allowed 3 in 4.1 off 6 hits and 6 strikeouts. Moya allowed an unearned run in the 9th with a hit and 2 walks. Ohtani made the error in the 9th.

Mickey Moniak was 2-for-4 with 2 RBI's. Seth Beer was 1-for-4 with a double and run scored. Nick Gordon was 1-for-3 with a run scored and a walk.

September 19th, 2024: The San Francisco Giants have been eliminated from postseason contention. At 66-81, they trail LA by 15 games. They haven't made the playoffs since 2016.

We looked to win the rubber match with A.J. Puckett (8-6, 4.14 ERA, 1.21 WHIP) taking on Breiling Eusebio (5-5, 4.60 ERA, 1.32 WHIP). We got 4 in the 7th to take the finale 5-1.

Puck tossed a great game, 5.2 innings with 4 hits, a run, 2 walks, and 2 strikeouts. Michael Feliz got the win, 1.1 innings with a hit and 2 strikeouts. Alpha Quivers finished the final 2 innings with a strikeout.

Puck was 1-for-2 with a double. Lazaro Armenteros was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Mickey Moniak was 1-for-3 with a run scored, RBI, and walk. Vlad Jr. was 1-for-3 with a sacrafice fly. Nick Gordon was 2-for-4 with a run scored and driven in.

Rockies LF Sean Foote went 5-for-5 in a 5-4 win over the Padres.

Tomorrow is a day off.

September 20th, 2024: I purchased the contract of P/1B J.P. Gates from AA Jacksnoville. The former 2018 2nd Rounder got the call because I didn't want him to file for minor league free agency. Here's what I wrote about him when I drafted him:

"2nd Round, 70th Overall: SP J.P. Gates (3) Said he'd sign for slot too. With no SP in the minors worth much, he's got a lot of promise. His fall back is 1B, but he's got great stuff and control, and is a real draftee."

Well, he's not that guy, now just a 1.5 potential, but he's got four nice pitches and can be a decent longman who can eat a few innings in the pen.

Atlanta C Chi-Seong Pak was 5-for-5 in a 10-8 win loss to the Phillies.

We're 1.5 games out of first, but have a 2.5 game lead over Atlanta and Washington for the 1st Wild Card. The Padres would come to town, and send Chris Rodriguez (10-11, 3.61 ERA), Zach Lovvorn (5-12, 3.77 ERA), and MacKenzie Gore (5-12, 3.77 ERA) to the mound. The defending champs are just 77-73, and probably won't make the playoffs.

September 21st, 2024: We opened the series with the Padres in front of a crowded Marlins Park as every game means so much more with the season winding down. Jordan Montgomery (!0-7, 3.09 ERA, 1.12 WHIP) battled Chris Rodriguez (10-11, 3.61 ERA, 1.17 WHIP) who not only shut us out earlier this year, but in the playoffs last year. The Padres bested us in the opener 6-2.

Montgomery allowed 6 (4 earned) in 5.1 innings with 4 hits, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. The rest of the pen combined for 3.2 innings with a hit and 5 strikeouts.

Scott Kingery was 2-for-3 with a double and run scored. Adam Haseley was 1-for-4 with a RBI triple. Seth Beer was 2-for-4 with a run scored.

September 22nd, 2024: We looked to get back on track with Jake Florence (12-8, 3.76 ERA, 1.37 WHIP) taking on Zack Lovvorn (9-11, 4.14 ERA, 1.22 WHIP). We scored 5 in the 6th to even the series with an 8-2 win.

Florence went 6 and allowed 3 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and he struck out 6. Aplha Quivers, Chasen Shreve, and Ernesto Estrella got holds before we took the big leads.

Thomas Dillard was 1-for-3 with 2 runs, 2 RBIs, a hit by pitch, and a homer. Lazarito was 1-for-4 with a 3-run homer in the 8th. Seth Beer was 2-for-3 with a walk, double, 2 runs scored, and an RBI. Shoehi Ohtani was 1-for-4 with a double, run scored, and RBI.

Noah Syndergaard tossed a no-hitter in a 2-0 win over the Nationals. Washington is now not in position to make the playoffs, and 6 games out of first.

September 23rd, 2024: I activated Ben Heller from the DL, and recalled Josh Weske from AAA after the Baby Cakes won their second consecutive title.

Weske, the former 12th Overall pick, will be set to make his debut. Here's what I wrote about him:

"1st Round, 12th Overall: SP Josh Weske (4.5): The 18-year-old demanded just $1.1 million for a bonus and he easily projects to be a front of the rotation starter. Is stuff is nasty, and his change up is extremely nasty and he can put it where he wants it. He's extremely durable, and the lefty will be one of the best in the league."

He's a star potential lower, so one of the best in the league might be a stretch, but Weske looks like a future #2 for sure. His fastball is overpowering and his cutter has nice movement. He keeps the ball on the ground, and can pitch alot of innings. He's also kept his durability.

White Sox RHP Zack Burdi has announced that after tearning his rotator cuff, his career is over. Injuries have hurt him a lot, and his career line consists of a 5.22 ERA, 1.47 WHIP, 393 strikeouts, and 164 walks in 362.1 innings.

We're up to 6th in the Power Rankings.

We looked to take the series with Walker Buehler (6-8, 4.50 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) taking on MacKenzie Gore (5-12, 3.77 ERA, 1.16 WHIP). We lost the slugfest 11-9 and had to use a ton of pitchers.

Buehler went 5 innings, allowing 3 runs and 4 hits with a walk and 7 strikeouts. Micahel Feliz couldn't get an out, and allowed 3 runs and 2 hits with 2 walks. Ben Heller went 0.1 innings wtih a run, walk, and strikeout. Ernesto Estreaa and Yasukazu Shiotani couldn't get outs either, a hit and run a peice. Shoehi Ohtani allowed 2 (1 earned) in 0.2 innings with 2 walks and 2 strikeotus

Thomas Dillard was 3-for-4 with a solo homer, steal, double, and a walk. Lazaro Armenteros was 1-for-5 with a 2 run homer, although he did strikeout all 4 other times. Deshawn Hardamon was 2-for-5 with 2 doubles and 2 runs scored. Vlad Jr. was 2-for-5 with a walk, double, 2 runs, and 2 RBI's. Brendan Rodgers was 2-for-4 with a run scored, RBI, walk, and steal. Cole Roederer was 3-for-5.

Arizona's Jhoan Duran tossed a 3-hit shutout in a 5-0 win over the Rockies.

With just 10 games left, we sit 3 games out of first, and have a 2 game lead over the Braves. We're off to New York to face Michael Wacha (7-9, 4.21 ERA), Chris Sale (10-4, 4.15 ERA), and Rafael Montero (8-5, 3.05 ERA) in a crucial series that could change the landscape of the NL postseason.
