April 2nd, 2029: Happy Opening Day! The preseason predictions rank us first in the NL East at 100-62. We're followed by the Phillies (95-67), Nationals (90-72), Braves (83-79), Mets (83-79), and then the brand new Doves (61-101), who we have the pleasure of playing today in Boston.

The top 100 prospect list was published, with our Rogelo Maldonado ranked #1. Him and Juan Toledo (95th) are our only top 100 prospects, which gives us the 13th ranked system. Omari Tetteh, who was just returned to us, is ranked 130th.

A few roster moves, the Tigers signed Corey Knebel to a 1-year, $17.8 million deal, the Nationals signed Jay Groome to a 1-year, $4,270,000 contract, and the Yankees signed Joe LaBrie to a 1-year, $8,200,000 contract.

We're in Boston to face the Doves for their inagural game. Pat Saitta will make his Marlins debut against former Marlin Leonel Olvera. Our lineup will be RF Kelenic, CF Simental, LF Ramirez, 3B Reid, 1B Horvath, C Miller, SS Nunez, 2B Smith, P Saitta. We didn't let the home fans get too happy, and we topped the Doves 5-2 in their first game in team history.

Saitta tossed 7 innings with 7 hits, 2 runs, and 8 strikeouts. Luis Alcantra and Gene Hall split the 8th for holds and Chad Scoles struck out 2 in the 9th for the save.

Juan Simental was 2-for-5 with a steal, double, run scored, and RBI. Jarred Kelenic was 1-for-3 with 2 runs, 2 walks, and a double. Chris Reid and Juan Ramirez were both 1-for-4 with two homers. Jackson Miller was 1-for-3 with a walk.

April 3rd, 2029: Five free agents signed and it's not worth writing them all out.

C.J. Jorgensen took on Carlos Leandro as we looked to win the second of the three game series. Tied at 1 after 9, Austin Gardner hit a pinch-hit three run homer, and the Doves walked off 4-1 for their first win and walkoff in franchise history.

Jorgensen pitched well, 6.2 innings wih 4 hits, a run, a walk, and 7 strikeouts. Jake Yearick made his Marlins debut, 1.1 innings with a strikeout. Scoles got the loss, 2 hits, a walk, and 3 runs.

Juan Ramirez was 3-for-5 with a double, steal, and RBI. Jarred Kelenic was 2-for-4 with a walk and steal. Noah Smith was 1-for-3. Juan Simental was 1-for-5 with a steal and run scored.

Tampa LF Ernie Frye was 5-for-5 in a 19-0 win over the Twins.

April 4th, 2029: We looked to with the series with Devon Peterson taking on former Marlin Yonny Chirinos. We didn't even give them a chance today, and absolutely destroyed them 10-1.

Peterson went 6 innings with 4 hits, an uearned run, 3 walks, and 5 strikeouts. C.J. LaFever got a 3 innings save, allowing 2 hits and getting 3 strikeouts.

Juan Simental was 3-for-5 with a walk and 2 solo homers. Juan Ramirez was 3-for-5 with 2 run, 2 RBI's, a walk, double, and homer. Jarred Kelenic was 3-for-6 with 2 runs, and an RBI. Noah Smith was 3-for-5 with 2 runs and a solo homer. Chris Reid was 2-for-3 with a hit by pitch, 2 RBI's, and a walk. Jackson Miller was 2-for-5 with a solo homer. Gregorio Alvarenga was 1-for-5 with a walk. Isaac Nunez was 1-for-5 with a run scored.

After a semi-successful opening series, we're headed to Maimi for a three game series with the Padres. We'll see Rayn Wimbush, Kinnon Linfoot, and Josh Hearn (0-1, 7.50 ERA).

April 5th, 2029: Our home opener took place against the Padres, as Steve Paustian squared off with Ryan Winbush. We got three in the 8th to give us a 4-2 win.

Paustian went 8 innings with 3 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 8 strikeouts. Scoles got the save, 2 strikeouts in the 9th.

Paustian was also 2-for-3 with a run scored. Mac Horvath was 1-for-4 with 2 RBI's. Gregorio Alvarenga was 1-for-3 with a walk, steal, and run scored. Juan Simental was 1-for-3 with a steal and run scored.

Down in AAA, Juan Maya tossed a 1-hit shutout in a 14-0 New Orleans win over the Memphis Redbirds. He walked 2 and struck out 5.

Indians SS Zack Prajzner was 5-for-5 in a 7-2 win over the Rangers.

April 6th, 2029: Detroit signed RHP Pedro Araujo to a 1-year, $4.4 million contract.

Luis Ardon took on Cole Ayers as we finish our first trip through the rotation. The pitching wasn't good, and the Padres got their first win of the year, 6-2.

Ardon went 4.2 innings with 5 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts. Ignacio Hinojos allowed 2 runs in 1.2 innings with a hit, walk, and 2 strikeouts. Jamie Priest tossed 2 innings with a hit, walk, and 3 strikeouts.

Juan Ramirez was 2-for-4 with a double. Jon Reid was 1-for-2 with 2 RBI's and a walk. Both Mac Horvath and Daylen Lile had pinch hit singles.

Another New Orleans pitcher, Cho-yeong Hyoun, tossed a shutout. He allowed just 5 hits and struck out 4 in a 3-0 win over the Redbirds.

Oakland starter Sean Geise did one better, tossing a no-hitter in a 1-0 edging of the Blue Jays. He struck out 12 and walked 4.

April 7th, 2029: We looked to win the series and hopefully take first with Pat Saitta (1-0, 2.57 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) taking on Josh Hearn (0-1, 7.50 ERA, 1.67 WHIP). Tied at three in the 9th, Gregorio Alvarenga had a walk-off ground out, and we won the finale 4-3.

Saitta tossed 5.2 innings with 8 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. The pen went 3.1 innings with a hit, 2 walks, and 4 strikeouts.

Jackson Miller was 2-for-4 with a double, triple, and 2 RBI's. Juan Ramirez was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Alvarenga was 2-for-5 with a run scored, RBI, and steal. Isaac Nunez was 1-for-3 with a run scored and RBI. Noah Smith was 1-for-4.

Yankees LF Riley Greene hit for the cycle in a 12-3 win over the Orioles.

Obviously, a 4-2 start isn't as good as last year, but we also had the same amount of postseason wins last year as we do now. We're off to three with the Rockies, and we'd see Ty Madden (1-0, 3.60 ERA), Juan Coira (1-0, 5.14 ERA), and Walker Buehler (0-0, 7.36 ERA).
