May 10th-May 16th

Sidenote: This dynasty is going to take a little bit of a back seat to the Marlins one. I got really into that, and while I'm not forgetting this one, I'm hoping I can win the World Series this year and then retire it. I have a few interesting new ideas I want to test out as well, and to current MLB ones is a little repetitive

May 10th, 2019: We opened the series hosting the White Sox with Nathan Eovaldi (2-1, 5.52 ERA, 1.52 WHIP) taking on Scott Kazmir (1-0, 3.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP). We got three nice insurance runs in the 7th to win the opener 6-2.

Eovaldi went 6 innings with 6 hits, 2 runs, a walk, and 5 strikeouts. Pedro Araujo got the win, a perfect 7th with a strikeout. Boone Logan had the same stats with a hold.

Lewis Brinson was 2-for-4 with a solo homer. Jose Peraza was 2-for-3 with a solo homer and sacrafice fly. Yolmer Sanchez was 1-for-3 with a three run homer. Chance Sisco was 1-for-3 with a run scored.

May 11th, 2019: We looked to win the series a day early with Aaron Sanchez (1-3, 3.21 ERA, 0.83 WHIP) facing Josh Tomlin (3-2, 2.81 ERA, 0.84 WHIP). It was a nailbiter, but we hung onto a 5-4 win.

Sanchez pitched fine, 5.2 innings with 8 hits, 3 runs, a walk, and 4 strikeouts. Kelvin Herrera and Boone Logan earned holds while Zach Britton got his 5th save of the season. Herrera went 1.1 innings with a hit, run, walk, and 2 strikeouts.

Victor Reyes was 2-for-4 with a solo homer. Anthon Alford was 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Jose Peraza was 1-for-3 with a triple and two RBI's. Chance Sisco was 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored.

May 12th, 2019: The Tigers will be without young CL Joe Jimenez for the rest of the year. He tossed 13.2 scoreless innings with 7 saves and 12 strikeouts.

We looked to finish the sweep with Kevin Gausman (1-3, 6.82 ERA, 1.71 WHIP) facing Spencer Adams (3-1, 3.44 ERA, 1.32 WHIP). We got three in the first to finish the series with a 5-3 win.

Gausman went 6, allowing 9 hits, 3 runs, and he struck out 7. Jake Diekman and Mychal Givens got their 4th holds of the year, while Zach Britton earned save #6.

Michael A. Taylor was 2-for-3 with a solo homer. Lewis Brinson was 1-for-3 with a three run homer. Victor Reyes was 1-for-4 with a run scored and triple. Tim Beckham was 1-for-3 with a double. Jonathan Schoop was 1-for-4 with a run scored.

Kaleb Cowart increaesd his hit streak in a 4-2 Braves loss to the Nationals. Sean Manea tossed a 4-hit shutout as the A's beat the Rays 2-0.

May 13th, 2019: Alex Cobb is headed to AAA for a rehab assignment. He hasn't pitched since last year.

At 20-16, we moved up 1 spot to fifth in the Power Rankings.

Kaleb Cowart's hit streak was snapped at 20 games.

Looking ahead to the Red Sox series, we'd see Eduardo Rodriguez (1-4, 5.94 ERA), Rick PorcellO (3-1, 3.74 ERA), and Dallas Keuchel (4-1, 4.06 ERA).

May 14th, 2019: The Royals will be without SP Jesse Hahn for the year with a stretched elbow ligament. He was 1-3 with a 5.01 ERA in 7 starts.

Former Red Sock Drew Pomeranz (2-1, 4.06 ERA, 1.38 WHIP) opened the series against Eduardo Rodriguez (1-4, 5.94 ERA, 1.47 WHIP). Tied at 2 heading into the 9th, Victor Reyes hit a walkoff sinlge off Alex Colome and we won 3-2.

Pomeranz was 4.1 innings with 6 hits, 2 runs, 3 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Erasmo Ramirez tossed 2.2 innings with 3 strikeouts. Joakim Soria got the win, pitching the 9th with 2 strikeouts and a hit.

Reyes, the hero, was 2-for-5 with a run scored, double, and RBI. Chance Sisco was 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Lewis Brinson was 1-for-3 with a walk and RBI.

Alex Cobb is iehaded back to the DL for 2 weekswith back tightness.

Tigers Mark Reynolds hit his 300th career homer. The 35-year-old nicknamed "Sheriff of Swattingham" is a career .235/.326/.451 hitter with 865 RBI's in 1,675 games.

May 15th, 2019: We looked to keep rolling with Max Fried (1-1, 3.52 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) facing Rick PorcellO (3-1, 3.74 ERA, 1.22 WHIP). The Red Sox got two in the 9th, but we heald them off 6-4.

Fried pitched great, 6.2 innings with 5 hits, a run, 2 walks, and 10 strikeouts. Erasmo Ramirez went 1.1 innings with 3 hits, a run, and 2 strikeouts. Zach Britton tossed an inning with 3 hits, 2 runs, a walk, and a strikeout. Despite a respectable 2.35 ERA, he has a 2.09 WHIP.

Victor Reyes was 2-for-4 with a run scored, RBI, and a pair of steals. Chance Sisco was 2-for-4 with a solo homer. Anthony Alford was 1-for-5 with a two run homer. Michael A. Taylor was 3-for-4 with 2 doubles and 2 runs. Trey Mancini was 1-for-4 with a triple, run scored, and RBI.

May 16th, 2019: We looked to finish our second straight sweep with Aaron Sanchez (2-3, 3.40 ERA, 0.92 WHIP) taking on Dallas Keuchel (4-1, 4.06 ERA, 1.12 WHIP). Tied 3-3, Anthony Alford hit a walk-off single off Colome as we won the finale 4-3.

Sanchez went just 3.2 innings with 4 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Eovaldi went 2.1 innings with 2 hits, a walk, and 2 strikeouts. Not sure why he came out of the pen though. Herrera got the win, getting a strikeout in a perfect 9th.

Anthony Alford was 3-for-5 with a run scored, double, and 2 RBI's. Jose Peraza was 3-for-4 with 3 runs and was 2-for-3 stealing bases. Jonathan Schoop was 1-for-3 with a double, walk, and RBI.

We've got a nice 2.5 game lead over the Yankees, as we finish our homestand with three against the first place Athletics. We'll see Miguel Gonzalez (1-2, 3.79 ERA), Sean Manea (5-1, 2.47 ERA), and Daniel Mengden (1-4, 5.25 ERA).

We get tomorrow off before the Red Sox come to town for three.
