June 5th, 2018: The Dodgers will be without SP Walker Buehler for the year with a stretched elbow ligament. He started the season 2-3 with a 6.11 ERA and has struck out 37 in 35.1 innings.

Alex Cobb (1-2, 4.13 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) took on Zack Wheeler (2-3, 2.67 ERA, 1.43 WHIP) in the first at two in Citi Field, where our pitchers would have to hit for themselves. Our hitters didn't hit for themselves, however, and we were shut out 3-0.

Cobb went 5 with 4 hits, 2 runs, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Richard Bleier was charged with a hit and run in 0.1 innings. Miguel Castro tossed 2 innings with a hit.

Manny Machado was 1-for-4 with a double. Mason Williams was 0-for-2 with 2 walks in his Orioles debut. Chris Davis had a pinch hit single in the 9th.

Phillies RF Aaron Altherr hit three homers in an 11-5 win over the Cubs.

June 6th, 2018: Craig Gentry was sent to AAA to begin a rehab assignment. I'd stash him in AAA for awhile.

1st Rounder Cole Wilcox signed a $1 million signing bonus.

The White Sox sent RHP Gregory Infante to the Diamondbacks for 2B Raymel Flores. I don't know what the Sox were thinking...

We looked to split the two game set with Andrew Cashner (2-5, 5.07 ERA, 1.62 WHIP) facing Noah Syndergaard (4-3, 3.12 ERA, 1.00 WHIP). The Mets got three in the fourth and finished the sweep with a 6-2 win.

Cashner allowed 4 in 5 innings with 8 hits, 4 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Bruce Rondon allowed a run and hit in the 6th with a strikeout. Enny Romero allowed a run and two hits with a walk and strikeout in the 9th.

Trey Mancini was 2-for-4 with a stolen base. Manny Machado was 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Chris Davis hit a pinch hit solo home run the 8th. Maybe someone would claim him because of this?

Scott Kingery hit three homers against the Cubs, the second straight day a Phillie hitter as done so. They won this one 10-8.

And just like that, we leave New York and head to Toronto for four. We'd see J.A. Happ (7-2, 3.88 ERA), Jaime Garcia (4-4, 3.80 ERA), Marco Estrada (3-5, 5.00 ERA), and Marcus Stroman (5-3, 3.65 ERA).

June 7th, 2018: Davis cleared waivers, so I'd have to find a trade partner. I also outrighted Jhan Marinez to AAA.

We opened the series in Toronto with Dylan Bundy (2-2, 5.31 ERA, 1.21 WHIP) facing J.A. Happ (7-2, 3.88 ERA, 1.29 WHIP). It wasn't even close, and we were crushed 17-0 as our record dropped below .500, where I think it may stay the rest of the year...

Bundy lasted just 2.1 innings, with 6 hits, 7 runs, a walk, and 3 strikeouts. Miguel Castro allowed 3 in 1 innings with a hit, 2 walks, and 2 strikeouts. Rondon allowed 2 in 2 innings with a hit, 2 walks, and 2 strikeouts. Enny Romero allowed 2 runs off a hit and 2 walks with just a strikeout. Jeremy Jeffress was tagged for three runs in an inning with 2 walks and a strikeout. Mychal Givens was the only Oriole to not allow a run, 1.1 innings with a hit, 3 walks, and a strikeout.

Davis is boosting his trade value, going 3-for-4. Tim Beckham was 1-for-4 with a double. Trey Mancini was 1-for-3 with a walk.

Derek Fisher went 5-for-6 in an Astros 13-5 win over Texas.

June 8th, 2018: We looked to suck a little less with Kevin Gausman (5-3, 4.50 ERA, 1.47 WHIP) facing Jaime Garcia (4-4, 3.80 ERA, 1.25 WHIP). We decided to score today, and a 5 run 7th helped propel us to a 10-3 win.

Gasuman was great, 7 innings with 4 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, and 7 strikeouts. Givens allowed runs today, 2 in 1 inning with a hit, walk, and strikeout. Brad Brach pitched the 9th, allowing 2 hits and he got a strikeout.

Trey Mancini was 2-for-4 with a walk and two solo homers. Machado was 2-for-5 with a grand slam. Jonathan Schoop was 1-for-5 with a solo homer. Max Stassi was 2-for-3 with a hit by pitch, homer, 2 runs, and an RBI. Mike Yastrzemski was 1-for-3 with a walk, double, and 2 runs scored. Adam Jones was 2-for-5 with a run scored and two driven in.

Alex Bregman hit for the cycle in a 6-1 win over Texas.

June 9th, 2018: The Nationals lost SP Ricky Nolasco for the year with a ruptured ulnar collateral ligament. Every time I type that it sends a pain through my elbow... He made just 1 start in the big leagues this year, going 4 innings with 6 hits, 2 runs, 3 strikeouts, and 0 walks.

Game three saw Mike Wright (4-2, 3.09 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) and Marco Estrada (3-5, 5.00 ERA, 1.48 WHIP). After scoring 2 in the top of the 8th to tie it, we allowed 2 more in the bottom half and the Jays took the game 5-3.

Wright went 6, allowing 4 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and he struck out an impressive 8. Richard Bleier allowed 2 runs off 2 hits without getting an out.

Mike Yastrzemski was 1-for-3 with a double and run scored. Max Stassi was 1-for-3 with a double, run scored, and RBI. Both doubles came in the 8th off starter Marco Estrada. Trey Mancini was 1-for-3 with a walk.

Brandon Crawford hit for the cycle as the Giants still lost to Washington 7-6. Phillies 2B Cesar Hernandez went 5-for-6 in an 8-4 win over the Brewers.

I optioned Bleier to AAA to recall CL Zach Britton from his rehab assingment.

June 10th, 2018: In a busy day for trades, I managed to dump Davis on the Cubs, although I have to pay 65% of the contract. It frees up a decent amount of salary this year and a lot in the future. I recieved SS Andruw Monasterio, but he's more of a foramilty then anything.

Replacing Davis on the active roster will be LHP Donnie Hart, who's done great in AAA since his demotion. He, however, will not be available for today's game.

More trade news, the Padres sent LF Hunter Renfroe and RHP Trey Wingenter to the Phillies for RF Aaron Altherr. I like this deal for the Phillies, although Renfroe is extremely underrated.

The Cardinals sent LF Tommy Pham to the Rays in exchange for CF Mallex Smith and RHP Yonny Chirinos. It's an even trade, although it's a bit perplexing.

We looked to leave Canada with a split, as Alex Cobb (1-3, 4.05 ERA, 1.26 WHIP) took on Marcus Stroman (5-3, 3.65 ERA, 1.20 WHIP). The Jays got three quick runs in the first, and coasted to a 6-1 victory in the series finale.

Cobb went 4 innings, allowing 9 hits, 5 runs, and he struck out 5. Romero was charged with a run off 2 hits, without getting an out. Miguel Castro pitched the 5th and 6th and struck out 4. Caleb Joseph was 1-for-3 with a double. Mark Trumbo was 1-for-3 with a double and RBI. Tim Beckham was 1-for-4 with a double.

Josh Tomlin tossed a 2-hit shutout as the Indians beat Detroit 5-0. Anthony Rizzo was 5-for-5 in an 11-3 Cubs win over the Pirates.

We're back home for three with the Red Sox, who lead the division by half a game over the Jays. We'd see David Price (4-2, 2.24 ERA), Rick PorcellO (3-3, 4.54 ERA), and Eduardo Rodriguez (7-1, 4.30 ERA).
