May 4th, 2018: We opened the series in Oakland with Dylan Bundy (1-1, 3.03 ERA, 0.98 WHIP) taking on Kendall Graveman (2-2, 3.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP). We allowed 3 in the 8th, and dropped the opener 6-5.

Bundy was solid, 6 innings with 4 hits, 3 runs, a walk, and 6 strikeouts. Mychal Givens and Darren O'Day got holds, although O'Day didn't deserve it. He allowed 2 runs and 2 hits with 2 strikeouts. Richard Bleier got the loss, allowing a hit that later scored to the only batter he faced.

Tim Beckham was 2-for-5 with a 2-run homer and a steal. Chris Davis was 2-for-4 with a homer, 2 runs, an RBI, and a walk. Mark Trumbo was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Manny Machado was 1-for-5 with his 5th double.

Craig Kimbrel got his 300th save win the Red Sox beat the Rangers 5-3. He earned it in his 494th career game. He's got a nice 1.86 ERA and 0.91 WHIP for his career.

May 5th, 2018: The draft pool was announced today, and this is the top 10 occording to OSA (My Scout/OSA):

1. RF Jarred Kelenic (2.5/4)
2. RHP Joe McDonagh (1/4)
3. RHP Casey Mize (4/4.5)
4. 3B Jonathan India (2.5/3.5): Selected in the 26th Round by Milwaukee in 2015
5. RHP Carter Stewart (2/4)
6. SS Brice Turang (2.5/3.5)
7. SS Nolan Gorman (1.5/3)
8. LHP Dwain Adamic (4/5)
9. RHP Ethan Hankins (3.5/4): He'll actually sign in this universe...
10. RHP Joe Weems (2.5/4.5)

My scout likes this pool, and there are a few standout players. The guys I want would be 5* C Will Banfield, SP Dan Hixson, or SS Brendan Pfeiffer. The next level includes SP Cole Wilcox (4.5) and 6 4* who are C or SP. This draft is actually really deep in C and SP, as well as a few solid middle infielders.

We're selecting 11th, so I don't know if we're going to get one of my top guys, but worst case I get a 4* or a solid 3.5.

Game two in Oakland took place between Kevin Gausman (4-1, 4.37 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) and Andrew Triggs (1-3, 4.85 ERA, 1.42 WHIP). We scored 2 runs in the 7th, and eventually finished the game with a 4-2 win to even the series.

Gausman had a strong start, 6 innings with 4 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. Enny Romero, Miguel Csatro, Richard Bleier, and Hector Rondon earned holds, while Brad Brach struck out 2 in the 9th to get a save.

Tim Beckham was 3-for-4 with a double, steal, and a solo homer. Austin Hays was 1-for-4 with a solo shot. Jonathan Schoop was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Chris Davis was 1-for-4 with 2 homers. Caleb Joseph was 1-for-4 with a double.

During a rehab start, Gabriel Ynoa tossed a 5-hit shutout as Norfolk beat Louisville. Ynoa is rated a 1/2 and is out of options, so eventually I'll have to make room for him.

May 6th, 2018: We looked to take the series with Mike Wright (2-0, 2.34 ERA, 1.18 WHIP) taking on Sean Manaea (2-3, 4.75 ERA, 1.44 WHIP). We got 2 in the 1st, and it was enough for the 6-1 win.

Wright was brillinat, 7 shutout innings with 6 hits, a walk, and 6 strikeouts and he's really beomce a pleasent surprise. Marinez pitched the last two innings, alloiwng 2 hits, a walk, a run, and he recorded a strikeout.

Trey Mancini was a perfect 4-for-4 and just a triple away from the cycle. He launced 2 homers, walked, and drove in 4. Craig Gentry was 2-for-5 with a double, run scored, 2 RBI's, and a steal. Max Stassi was 1-for-3 with a run scored and a walk. Manny Machado was 1-for-4 with a walk and run scored.

We got tomorrow off before heading home.

May 7th, 2018: To shed salary, I waived Danny Valencia and Colorado shockingly claimed him. I'm actually happy, although I wish I traded him instead. Either way, no loss.

The Tigers will be without LHP Matt Boyd for the year with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament. Part of the David Price blockbuster, he's 0-3 with a 4.46 ERA to start the season.

We dropped down to 13th in the Power Rankings, but are still 18-18.

We're home to host the Royals who are just 12-23 to start the year. We'd see Danny Duffy (3-1, 2.97 ERA), Jason Hammel (1-4, 5.68 ERA), and Ian Kennedy (3-3, 4.85 ERA).

May 8th, 2018: The Twins will be without LF Eddie Rosario for the year with a broken kneecap. He was hitting .248 with 3 homers, 10 RBI's, and 13 runs scored in 109 at bats.

I activated CF Adam Jones from the DL and optioned RF Austin Hays to AAA. He hit leadoff and manned center as Alex Cobb (1-1, 3.68 ERA, 1.18 WHIP) took on Danny Duffy (3-1, 2.97 ERA, 1.09 WHIP). We scored 6 in the 8th to finish a 9-1 win.

Cobb went just 4.1 innings with 3 hits, a run, a walk, and 5 strikeouts. Jhan Marinez got the win, 1.2 innings with a walk and strikeout. Mychal Givens tossed 2 innings and earned a hold, with 2 walks and a strikeout.

Mancini was 2-for-4 with a walk, solo homer, and 2 total RBI's. Jones was 1-for-3 with a run scored and a walk in his return to the lineup. Gentry came off the bench to replace Jones, and was 1-for-1 with a double, run scored, and RBI. Tim Beckham was 1-for-5 with a triple. Manny Machado was 2-for-4 with a double, walk, and 3 RBI's.

I earend the achievement "Team Effort" for the 6 run 8th.

May 9th, 2018: Andrew Cashner (1-4, 4.89 ERA, 1.66 WHIP) took on Jason Hammel (1-4, 5.68 ERA, 1.45 WHIP) in game two. It was a slugfest that lasted 14 innings, but the Royals edged us 12-10.

Cashner allowed 6 (5 earned) in 4.2 with 9 hits, a walk, and 4 strikeouts. Defense cost us again, and Marinez allowed 3 (2 earned) in 0.1 innings with 2 hits and a strikeout. Mychal Givens also allowed an unearned run, and walked the only hitter he faced. Before Bleier, the rest of the pen tossed 6 innings with 4 hits, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts. Bleier tossed 3 innings, allowing 8 hits, 2 runs, a walk, and 2 strikeouts.

Chris Davsi was 2-for-5 with a homer, 2 runs, 3 RBI's, and a wlak. Adam Jones was 2-for-7 with a homer, steal, run scored, and 2 RBI's. Jonathan Schoop was 2-for-7 with 2 doubles, a run, and 2 RBI's. Craig Gentry was 2-for-5 with a run scored, walk, steal, and double. Mark Trumbo was 1-for-5 with a 2 run homer and a walk. Tim Beckham was 1-for-7, but hit a solo shot.

May 10th, 2018: We looked to win the series with Dylan Bundy (1-1, 3.26 ERA, 0.96 WHIP) taking on Ian Kennedy (3-3, 4.85 ERA, 1.26 WHIP). It took 11 innings tonight, and Chris Davis hit a walk-off 2 run homer in the 12-10 victory.

Bundy had a rough outing, 4.1 innings with 10 hits, 8 runs, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Brad Brach allowed 2 hits and 2 runs without getting an out. Miguel Castro got the win, 3 innings with a hit, walk, and strikeout.

Davis hit 2 homers to increase his total to 12. He was 4-for-6 with 3 runs and 6 RBI's, and may actually be a decent trade candidate. He's hitting .197/.303/.492, so if you overlook average, he's a stud. Adam Jones was 2-for-5 with a two run homer. Manny Machado was 4-for-5 with 3 runs scored and a walk.

For Davis' performance, I earned the achievement "Knock Them In" for the 6 RBI's.

Well, can't say I expected to be 20-19 to start the year, and we'd host Tampa for three more. At 11-24, it should be an easy matchup. We'd see Ryan Yarbrough (0-2, 7.71 ERA), Blake Snell (1-3, 3.41 ERA), and Yonny Chirinos (1-1, 7.04 ERA).
