August 22nd-August 28th
August 22nd, 2025: We got tomorrow off, and will head home to face the Nationals. We'll see Cole Ragans (13-7, 3.61 ERA) and Jay Groome (6-10, 5.20 ERA) in a quick two game series before another off day.
August 23rd, 2025: We opened the series with Shoehi Ohtani (3-3, 4.15 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) facing Cole Ragans (13-7, 3.61 ERA, 1.30 WHIP). The Nationals got 5 in the 5th and 4 in the 9th to win 9-7. Two bad innings...
Ohtani had a rough outing, 4.2 innings with 6 hits, 5 runs, 5 walks, and a strikeout. Jorge Moya blew the save, 0.2 innings with 4 hits, 4 runs, and a strikeout.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was 3-for-4 with a double, homer, walk, and 4 RBI's. Seth Beer was 2-for-5 with a double, run scored, and 2 RBI's. Max Marusak was 1-for-3 with 2 runs scored, a steal, and he was hit by a pitch. Isaac Nunez was 2-for-4 with 3 runs, an RBI, and walk.
August 24th, 2025: The Yankees will be without veteran reliever Yimi Garcia with radial nerve compression. He was 2-0 with a 4.09 ERA.
We looked to escpae with the split with Jake Florence (7-8, 4.10 ERA, 1.43 WHIP) facing Jay Groome (6-10, 5.20 ERA, 1.42 WHIP). It was a beautiful pitching matchip, and we shut them out 1-0.
Florence was amazing, looking like the #1 pick he was, going 8 innings with 4 hits, a walk, and 9 strikeouts. Moya made up for it, getting the save with a perfect 9th.
Thomas Dillard was 1-for-3 with a solo homer. Austin Hendrick was 1-for-2 with a hit by pitch.
Tomorrow was another day off, before we welcome the AL Central Indians to town.
August 25th, 2025: Juan Ramirez hasn't recovered as planned, and there is no update to when he'll return. He was hitting .397/.457/.770 with 9 homers, 33 RBI's, and 9 steals in 32 games.
At 75-51, we rank #1 in the power rankings.
The Indians come to town, and we'll see Kyle Molnar (6-10, 4.32 ERA), Jim Voyles (3-2, 5.81 ERA), and Yonny Chirinos (9-10, 4.92 ERA). We're just 1.5 games out of first, and we could take the division again with a solid series here before we host the Braves.
Aufust 26th, 2025: Walker Buehler (7-6, 2.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP) opened the series against Kyle Molnar (6-10, 4.32 ERA, 1.29 WHIP). It was another great pitching duel, and we took the opener 2-1.
Buehler went 5.2 innings with 4 hits, a run, and 10 strikeouts. Greg Walston got the win, going 1.1 innings wiht a strikeout. Alpha Quivers and Jorge Moya got holds before Hyo-jin Taung got the save. Moya allowed a hit and a walk with 2 strikeouts before Yaung got a strikeout to end the game.
Seth Beer was 1-for-3 with a walk and solo homer. Vlad Jr. was 1-for-3 with a walk and solo homer. Jeison Guzman was 2-for-3 with a double. Isaac Nunez was 1-for-4 with a double.
August 27th, 2025: Game two saw Mike Soroka (8-7, 3.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP) face Jim Voyles (3-2, 5.81 ERA, 1.55 WHIP). A third straight pitching duel, but this time we lost 2-1.
Soroka went 8, allowing 4 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 9 strikeouts. Chasen Shreve and Alpha Quivers got the 9th with 2 walks and a strikeout.
Thomas Dillard was 1-for-3 with a triple, sac-fly, and RBI. Shoehi Ohtani was 1-for-4 with a double. Vladmir Guerrero Jr. was 1-for-4 with a double and run scored.
August 28th, 2025: Will D. Smith is out for the year with a fractured ankle. He was hitting .240 with 3 homers and 10 RBI's.
Nationals SP Jhon Vergara will also miss the rest of the year with shoulder inflammation. The 25-year-old was in his first season with the Nationals, and was 4-7 with a 5.32 ERA and 74 strikeouts in 116.2 innings.
We looked to walk away with a split with Steve Paustian (7-5, 4.23 ERA, 1.45 WHIP) taking on former Marlin Yonny Chirinos (9-10, 4.82 ERA, 1.33 WHIP). We got some offense today, and won the finale 8-3.
Greg Walston, however, left with a herniated disc, and will hit the deal for hopefully just 10 days.
Paustian went 5.2 innings with 5 hits, 3 runs, 5 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Walston and Hyo-jin Yaung got holds before we broke away in the 8th.
Cole Roederer was 3-for-5 and a triple away from the cycle. He also scored twice. Thomas Dillard was 2-for-4 with a two run homer. Seth Beer was 2-for-5 with a double, homer, 2 runs, and 2 RBI's. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was 2-for-4 with a double and RBI. Max Marusak was 2-for-4 with two RBI's.
Up next is the first place Braves, who have a 2.5 game lead over us. We'll see Tyler Glasnow (8-6, 4.11 ERA), Cole Winn (10-9, 3.73 ERA), Lucas Sims (6-7, 4.72 ERA), and Ian Bedell (3-1, 2.91 ERA) in a clash of the best two teams in the league.
