July 9th, 2018: Gabriel Ynoa has suffered a setback in his rehab, and will miss 2 weeks.

The Power Rankings have dropped us to 17th.

We've got a busy today, with a double header against the 45-43 Yankees. Game 1 saw Wade Miley (4-3, 3.51 ERA, 1.44 WHIP) face Chris Simth (2-4, 5.15 ERA, 1.42 WHIP) who beat us earlier in the year. We got to host the Yanks, but got no home field advantage, dropping the first game 9-2.

Miley went 5, allowing 5 hits, 4 runs, a walk, and he recorded 4 strikeouts. Enny Romero allowed 3 hits and 3 runs while getting just 1 out. Darren O'Day allowed 2 in 1.1 innings with 2 hits, 2 walks, and a strikeout.

Max Stassi was 1-for-3 with a solo homer. Mason Williams was 1-for-3 with an RBI double. Mark Trumbo was 0-for-2, but walked and scored.

Before game two, I designated Romero for assignment and recalled Brad Brach. I'd work on trading Romero (if possible) after the game.

Game two saw Andrew Cashner (3-8, 5.38 ERA, 1.59 WHIP) face Luis Severino (7-5, 3.23 ERA, 0.98 WHIP). The outcome was much different, and we shut them out 8-0.

Cashner went 8.2 innings, allowing 5 hits, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Jeremy Jeffress got the last out, a ground out to end the game.

Trey mancini went 3-for-4 with a three run homer, hit by pitch, and two total runs scored. Jonathan Schoop was 3-for-5 with 2 doubles and 3 runs scored. Tim Beckham was 3-for-5 with a run scored and driven in. Adam Jones was 2-for-4 with a walk.

July 10th, 2018: I signed the power hitting lefty Sergio Villegas to a $2,240,000 bonus. The 16-year-old Venezuelan is rated a 4.5 potetnial, but it's all due to his power. He strikes out a lot and doesn't make much contact, but he won't chase and when he makes contact, it's a homer. He's a great student of the game and always gives 100%.

The Twins traded SS Ehire Adrianza to the Marlins for LHP Justin Nicolino and RHP Joel Kuhnel. It's an even enough deal.

Game three took place between Kevin Gausman (7-4, 3.86 ERA, 1.31 WHIP) and Mashiaro Tanaka (9-4, 3.74 ERA, 1.08 WHIP). Tied at three, both teams scored a run in the 7th, but we got one more in the 8th and edged New York 5-4.

Gausman went 5 innings, allowing 5 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, and getting 9 strikeouts. Jeremy Jeffress allowed 3 hits, a walk, and a run, in an inning of work. Brad Brach got the win and Zach Britton got the save. Both got 2 strikeouts, although Brach allowed a hit.

Manny Mahcado was 2-for-3 with a walk and pair of solo homers. Mark Trumbo went 2-for-4 with a solo homer. Max Stassi was 1-for-3 with a double and sac-fly. Jonathan Schoop was 2-for-3 with a walk. Craig Gentry was 1-for-3 with a run scored and walk.

July 11th, 2018: I made my last international signing, grabbing 16-year-old C Rogelio Negrete for just $294,720. The Dominican is rated a 1.5 potential, and has a decent enough bat to got with an okay glove behind the plate.

More trading, as the Angels traded RHP Garrett Richards and RHP Juan Contreras to the Mets for C Kevin Plawecki and RHP Jamie Callahan. It's an even deal, although I like how the Angels got Callahan.

We looked to win the four game series with Mike Wright (6-2, 2.75 ERA, 1.08 WHIP) taking on Sonny Gray (5-8, 4.24 ERA, 1.28 WHIP). Down 3-0, we scored 3 in the bottom of the 7th and eventually got the game into extras. With the bases loaded, Aroldis Chapman walked Gorkys Hernandez with the bases loaded, and we "walked" off.

Wright went 8, allowing 8 huts, 3 runs, and he struck out 4. Brach got another win, pitching a perfect 10th with a strikeout.

Trey Mancini was 3-for-4 with a three run homer, and he also scored the winning run. Manny Machado was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Hernandez was 0-for-4, but drove in the winning run with the previously mentioned walk.

We got tomorrow off, and can't fall below .500 before the All-Star break, so I might end up making moves to help us get a Wild Card spot this season. We have 46 losses, while the real-life Oriole sgot their 45th loss on June 10th, more then a month earlier.

July 12th, 2018: The Angels replaced Richards in the rotation with RHP Miguel Gonzalez. They sent the White Sox RHP Marc Brakeman. I like this deal for the Angels.

The Marlins sent RHP Brad Ziegler to the Red Sox for RHP Travis Lakins and SS C.J. Chatham. Getting anything for Ziegler is a win, although he's still a better player then both of the guys recieved.

Josh Donaldson hit three homers in a 7-2 win over the Red Sox.

The Rangers will come to town for three as we sit just 3.5 games out of a playoff spot. We'll see Jesse Chavez (2-7, 7.11 ERA), Martin Perez (3-6, 4.88 ERA), and Stolmy Pimentel (0-3, 8.10 ERA).

July 13th, 2018: The Rangers sent Jesse Chavez (2-7, 7.11 ERA, 1.75 WHIP) to the mound to face Alex Cobb (4-4, 3.53 ERA, 1.24 WHIP) in the opener in the final series of the first half. The pitching was great, and we beat the Rangers 3-1.

Cobb went 5 innings, allowing 4 hits, a run, 2 walks, and getting 2 strikeouts. Bruce Rondon, Mychal Givens, Nick Hagadone, and Brad Brach earned holds, while Shawn Armstrong got the save. THose five combined for 4 innings, 2 hits, a walk, and 5 strikeouts.

Craig Gentry was 2-for-4 with 2 runs scored and a solo homer. Adam Jones was 2-for-4 with 2 RBI's. Gorkys Hernandez was 1-for-3 with a steal and walk. Jonathan Schoop was 1-for-2 with 2 walks.

July 14th, 2018: Tampa traded RHP J.D. Martin and LHP Hunter Schryver to the Angels for RHP Stiward Aquino and RHP Eduardo Paredes. I like this deal for the Rays, but I love how many moves Billy Eppler is making to try to get to the playoffs, although he's basically in the same spot as me.

I outrighted Enny Romero to AA.

Game two saw Wade Miley (4-4, 3.80 ERA, 1.42 WHIP) battle Martin Perez (3-6, 4.88 ERA, 1.26 WHIP) as we looked to stay hot. We scored early and often, 5 runs in the first 3 innings and 3 more in the 5th, and won this one 9-7.

Miley went 5, allowing 8 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and he got 6 strikeouts. Darren O'Day was charged with 3 runs and 3 hits in 0.1 innings. Nick Hagadone got a hold, getting the final out in the 8th before Zach Britton got the save in the 9th.

Adam Joens was 2-for-4 with a walk, homer, 2 runs, and 2 RBI's. Tim Beckham was 2-for-4 with a walk, solo homer, and two RBI's. Trey Mancini was 3-for-5 with a double, run scored, and 2 RBI's. Gorkys Hernandez was 2-for-4 with a walk, 2 runs, and 2 RBI's. Jonathan Schoop was 1-for-4 with a double and walk.

July 15th, 2018: Mike Wright and Trey Mancini were both named to their first All-Star games.

The Yankees lost RHP David Sosebee for the year with a ruptured finger tendon. The rookie had a 1.29 ERA in 7 innings with 5 strikeouts and a win.

The final game of the second half saw Andrew Cashner (4-8, 4.93 ERA, 1.52 WHIP) battle Stormy Pimentel (0-3, 8.10 ERA, 1.90 WHIP). Texas got 5 in the 7th and won the finale 10-2 to avoid the sweep.

Cashner went 5, allowing 8 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and getting 1 strikeout. Rondon was charged with a run, walk, hit, and he got a strikeout in the 6th. Shawn Armstrong allowed 3 runs and 3 hits while getting just 1 strikeout. O'Day allowed 2 in 1.2 innings with 2 hits and 3 strikeouts.

Craig Gentry was 1-for-3 with a two run homer. Trey mancini was 1-for-4 with his 3rd triple of the year. Jonathan Schoop was 1-for-4 with a run scored.

I earned the achievemnt "On a Roll" for the end of my five game win streak.

Well, I'm definitely surprised I have 51 wins about half way through the season not at the end of September. Are the real life Orioles really that bad, or am I just really good?

Anyways, next is the All-Star break and a series against the Blue Jays.
