June 7th, 2027: We were bumped up to third in the Power Rankings, although the Phillies are the current #1. At 36-21, we are 3 games behind them.

We started a three game series with them as Devon Peterson (5-3, 5.37 ERA, 1.54 WHIP) took on Francisco Morales (3-2, 4.26 ERA, 1.42 WHIP). Both teams put up runs, but in the end, it was the late runs that pushed us in front for a 7-4 victory.

Peterson tossed 6 innings with 8 hits, 4 runs, 4 walks, and 2 strikeouts. Luis Alcantra and Riley Ferrell got holds before Alpha Quivers struck out the side in the 9th to get the save.

Mac Horvath was 2-for-4 with a run scored, a walk, and 3 RBI's. Matt Hogan was 1-for-3 with a pair of steals and walks as well as three runs scored. Chris Reid was 1-for-4 with a double and RBI. Thomas Dillard hit a pinch-hit two run homer in the 8th. Peterson was 1-for-2 with a double. Deshawn Hardamon was 1-for-4 with a run scored.

June 8th, 2027: Greg Jalpa, my 1st Round Pick, decided he'd attend college instead of signing for a bit more then $4 million with me. I'd get a compensation pick for him next year that would be 30th Overall.

The White Sox lost LHP Jorge Rivera for the year with shoulder inflammation. The 23-year-old was 2-0 with a 4.32 ERA and he struck out 28 in 25 innings.

Game two saw Ignacio Hinojos (1-0, 3.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP) who struggled against the Phillies earlier this season, take on Bobby Stiles (3-5, 7.33 ERA, 1.57 WHIP) who has had a tough season so far. He owns a 4.0 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9, both extremely concerning numbers. With help from a 4 run 5th, we cut the division deficit to just a single game with an 8-5 win.

Hinojos went 5 innings with 5 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Matt Hogan allowed a walk and two run homer without getting an out. Marc Bjork allowed a run in the 9th with 2 hits, a walk, and a strikeout. Joseph Jarneski tossed 2 innings with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts.

Deshawn Hardamon was 1-for-4 with a grand slam in the 5th. Thomas Dillard was 2-for-4 with 2 runs and a walk. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-2 with a run scored, steal, hit by pitch, and 2 walks. Isaac Nunez was 1-for-3 with a run, 2 RBI's, and a walk. Mac Horvath was 1-for-4 with a run scored and hit by pitch. Chris Reid was 1-for-3 with 2 walks and a run scored.

June 9th, 2027: 2nd Rounder Andy White agreed to a $510,000 bonus.

Cardinals rookie Juan Ochoa ruptured his ulnar collateral ligament, and will miss the rest of the season. In 12 starts, he was 4-1 with a 2.91 ERA and 101 strikeouts in 68 innings.

The Mets acquired SP Mashiaro Tanaka from the Giants for 3B Amed Rosario. I like this deal for the Mets, and Tanaka is still a solid pitcher at 38.

We looked to finish the sweep and tie the Phillies for first with an ace-off: Jake Florence (5-3, 3.27 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) taking on Jim Gilbert (5-3, 3.06 ERA, 0.97 WHIP). A road sweep against the best team seemed impossible, and they edged us 2-1 to salvage the finale.

Florence went 5.2 innings with 7 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Jarneski and Niewald combined for 2.1 innings with 4 strikeouts.

Deshawn Hardamon was 2-for-3 with a solo homer. Thomas Dillard was 1-for-4 with a doule. Mac Horvath was 1-for-3 with a walk.

We got today off before heading to New York.

June 10th, 2027: 1st Rounder Eric Richer agreed to a $650,000 signing bonus. 3rd Rounder Jim Davis agreed to a $350,000 signing bonus.

We're off to the Big Apple for three with the Mets. We'll see the newly acquired Mashiaro Tanaka (5-3, 4.31 ERA), Eric Walker (4-2, 5.13 ERA), and Brady Singer (4-6, 4.32 ERA).

June 11th, 2027: 5th Rounder Mike Reece agreed to a $200,000 bonus.

The Nationals acquired RHP's Steve Vincent and Pat Langridge for RF Rogelio Valenzuela. I really like this deal for the Nationals.

We opened the series in New York with Steve Paustian (5-3, 3.63 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) taking on Mashiaro Tanaka (5-3, 4.31 ERA, 1.36 WHIP). Paustian tossed a gem last time against the Mets, and in two starts he has a 0.67 ERA with 9 strikeotus compared to 3 walks. Tanaka tossed the gem today, and they shut us out 6-0.

Paustian tossed 6.2 innings with 8 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and 7 strikeouts. Joseph Jarneski allowed 2 runs and 3 hits in 0.2 innings.

Juan Ramirez was 1-for-4 with a double. Isaac Nunez was 1-for-3 with a walk and steal. Jarred Kelenic was 1-for-3 with a walk.

June 12th, 2027: We looked to even up the series with Luis Ardon (4-2, 3.03 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) facing Eric Walker (4-2, 5.13 ERA, 1.42 WHIP). Neither guy pitched well in their first start against the opposing team. It was another shutout, but we came on top, winning the middle game 2-0.

Ardon tossed 7.1 innings with 4 hits, a walk, and 4 strikeouts. Riley Ferrell got the hold, finishing the 8th with a pair of fly outs. Alpha Quivers got the save, an inning with a hit and strikeout.

Jarred Kelenic was 1-for-4 with a two run homer. Daylen Lile was 1-for-4 with a steal, double, and run scored. Mac Horvath was 2-for-4.

June 13th, 2027: Fan vote update: Dillard 2nd. Kelenic 2nd. Quivers 3rd.

We looked to finish the series with a win, as the struggling Devon Peterson (6-3, 5.43 ERA, 1.58 WHIP) took on Brady Singer (4-6, 4.32 ERA, 1.35 WHIP). Peterson's struggles continued, and the Mets won the rubber match 7-2.

Peterson allowed 6 hits and 4 runs in 4.2 innings with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts. Marc Bjork allowed 3 hits and 2 runs in 0.2 innings with a walk and strikeout. Joseph Jarneski allowed a run off 2 hits and a walk in 1.1 innings with a strikeout.

Chris Reid was 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Mac Horvath was 2-for-4. Juan Ramirez was 1-for-4 with a double. Matt Hogan had a pinch hit single in the 6th, and also stole second.

Blue Jays CF Ron Burk extended his hit streak to 20 games.

I optioned Joseph Jarneski to AAA and recalled Jared Taylor.

We're headed back home for three against the Brewers, who are currently tied for 1st with the Reds and the 1st Wild Card with us as well. We'll see Rodolfo Espinoza (4-0, 2.01 ERA), Blake Bivens (5-2, 2.76 ERA), and Alfredo Rivera (5-3, 5.17 ERA).
