September 10th, 2018: At 70-73, we fell to 18th in the Power Rankings.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been eliminated from the playoffs. At 57-86, they are 23 games behind the Cubs.

I used my day off to make roster callups. RHP David Hess, RHP Pedro Aruajo, and RF Austin Hays were the first round of callups. I have four guys left in AAA that will recieve a callup as soon as the 14th, when our next series starts.

Alex Bregman went 6-for-6 in a 10-3 Astros win over the Tigers. Justin Verlander won his 200th career game against his former team. Ozzie Albies was 5-for-5 in a 6-2 Braves win over the Giants. Zack Wheeler tossed a 5-hit shutout as the Mets destroyed the Marlins 11-0.

We host the A's for three, and will see Kendall Graveman (8-10, 4.84 ERA), Andrew Triggs (6-10, 4.78 ERA), and Sean Manea (6-14, 5.23 ERA).

September 11th, 2018: The Chicago White Sox were elimnated from playoff contention. At 60-85, they were 25.5 games out of first.

Our game against the A's got postponed, and we'll play a double header tomorrow.

Steven Matz tossed a 4-hit shutout in an 11-0 Mets win over the Marlins. Yes, this is a different game with basically the same result.

September 12th, 2018: I promoted Aaron Bummer from AAA to grab an extra arm.

The Red Sox will be without RHP Hector Rondon for the year and most likely next year with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. They just claimed him off waivers from Houston.

Game 1 saw Kevin Gausman (10-7, 3.69 ERA, 1.26 WHIP) take on Kendall Graveman (8-10, 4.84 ERA, 1.35 WHIP). It was a tight one, but we edged them 2-1 to open the doubleheader.

Gausman allowed an unearned run in 5 innings with 2 hits, 2 walks, and 7 strikeouts. Will Harris got the win, 1.2 innings with 2 strikeouts. Britton got the hold, allowing 2 hits in 0.2 innings before Brad Brach got a save and strikeout to end the game.

Jonathan Schoop was 2-for-4 with a solo homer. Anthony Alford was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Tim Beckham was 0-for-3, but walked and scored.

Game two saw Tanner Scott (1-2, 9.88 ERA, 2.05 WHIP) and Andrew Triggs (6-10, 4.78 ERA, 1.31 WHIP) battle. The offense came for part 2, and we won 9-2 to sweep the double header.

Lewis Brinson and Gabriel Ynoa both left with injuries. Brinson is pending, with Ynoa just minor wrist soreness.

Scott went 5, allowing 2 hits, 2 runs, 6 walks, and he struck out 3. Shawn Armstrong did get a hold, 1.1 innings with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts.

Jonathan Schoop was 1-for-3 with a solo homer and sac-fly. Caleb Joseph was 1-for-4 with a two run homer. Austin Hays was 1-for-4 with a double and run scored. Craig Gentry, who replaced Brinson, was 2-for-4 with 2 RBI's and a double. Anthony Alofrd was 1-for-5 with 3 runs and 2 steals. Tim Beckham was 2-for-4 with an RBI double.

September 13th, 2018: Lewis Brinson tore his hip flexor tendon, and will be placed on the 60-Day DL. He'll miss at least 5-6 weeks.

I used David Hess (0-1, 2.31 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) for a spot start against Colin McHugh (9-1, 2.85 ERA, 1.20 WHIP). We couldn't finish the sweep, and we lost 6-1 in the finale.

Hess went 4.1 innings, allowing 8 hits, 5 runs, and he struck out 4. Ynoa went 3 innings with 2 hits, a run, and 3 strikeouts. Nick Hagadone tossed the final 1.2 innings, walking 1 and striking out 2.

Trey Mancini was 2-for-4 with a double. Anthony Santander was 1-for-3 with a walk and double. Erick Gonzalez was 1-for-3 with a run scored and triple. Tim Beckham was 2-for-4.

We've got three more at home against the White Sox against former Oriole Chris Tillman (5-17, 7.21 ERA), Lucas Giolito (3-3, 3.98 ERA), and Hector Santiago (6-9, 4.36 ERA).

September 14th, 2018: I finished my callups, recalling Nestor Cortes, Richard Bleier, Miguel Castro, and Chance Sisco. I also purchased the contract of LF D.J. Stewar, LHP Chris Lee, and RHP Ryan Meisinger.

We opened the series against the Chi Sox with Aaron Sanchez (10-7, 4.15 ERA, 1.27 WHIP) taking on Chris Tillman (5-17, 7.21 ERA, 1.72 WHIP). Tillman got his revenge, and we fell 8-1.

Sanchez had a rough outing, 1.2 innings with 7 hits, 5 runs, a walk, and 2 strikeouts. Former White Sock Bruce Rondon went 3.1 innings with just a wal kand 2 strikeouts. Mychal Givens went 1.2 innings with 3 hits, 3 runs, and 2 strikeouts. Nick Hagadone struck out all 5 batters he faced.

Anthony Santander was 1-for-3 with a double. Max Stassi was 1-for-3 with a run scored.

September 15th, 2018: Former White Sox lefty Carlos Rodon (1-6, 7.92 ERA, 1.92 WHIP) took on Lucas Giolito (3-3, 3.98 ERA, 1.29 WHIP). It was a close one, but we dropped game two 4-3 and will look to avoid the sweep tomorrow...

Rodon went 3.2 innings with 5 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Chris Lee got the loss in his big league debut, 3.1 innings with a run, hit, 2 walks, and 2 strikeouts.

Chance Sisco made his season debut, and went 2-for-3 with 2 RBI's and a double. Austin Hays was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Jonatah Schoop was 1-for-4 with a double and RBI. Delino DeShileds Jr. was 1-for-4 with a run scored. Tim Beckham was 1-for-3 with a run scored, walk, and steal.

September 16th, 2018: Mike Wright (6-6, 4.24 ERA, 1.21 WHIP) took on Hector Santiago (6-9, 4.36 ERA, 1.37 WHIP) as we looked to avoid the sweep. We couldn't, and we lost 4-2.

Wright went 6 innings with 8 hits, 2 runs, and 7 strikeouts. Will Harris got the loss, 0.2 innings with 2 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 1 strikeout. Shawn Armstrong struck out the side in the 9th.

AustiN Hays was 2-for-3 with a triple, run scored, and walk. Erick Aybar was 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Well, we got swept by one of the worst teams in baseball at home...

Toronto comes to town, and we'll see Marco Estrada (10-10, 4.74 ERA), Marcus Stroman (9-7, 4.28 ERA), and Joe Biagni (1-1, 4.80 ERA). The season is winding down, so we just got to make the best of it.
