June 18th, 2031: 1st Round Pick Joe Alwine signed a $950,000 signing bonus.

We had today off before returning home where we'd host the Padres for three. We'd see Josh Ferland (6-3, 4.27 ERA), Joe Leithner (0-2, 6.52 ERA), and Sergio Andrade (3-3, 4.43 ERA).

June 19th, 2031: The Padres were in town as Dursun Erbakan (4-1, 5.12 ERA, 1.46 WHIP) took on Josh Ferland (6-3, 4.27 ERA, 1.20 WHIP). Up 4-3 headed to the 9th, Cletus Gilberds tied the game up with a solo homer off Chad Scoles. In the bottom half, Sergio Tello hit a pinch-hit, two-run walkoff homer off Brad Montgomery.

Erbakan went 5.2 innings with 5 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, and 7 strikeouts. Chad Scoles blew the save, but got the win, pitching an inning with 2 hits, a run, and a strikeout.

Jarred Kelenic was 2-for-4 with a double, homer, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 3 RBI's. Juan Ramirez was 2-for-4 with a double and run scored. Gregorio Alvarenga was 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored. Jackson Miller was 1-for-4 with an RBI. Jon Reid was 1-for-4 with a run scored. Erbakan was 1-for-2.

June 20th, 2031: The Dodgers will be without RHP Kevin Jalbert for the year with shoulder inflammation. In 16 games (9 starts), he's 5-4 with a 4.47 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and he's struck out 46 in 54.1 innings.

Yankees righty Mitch Hart will miss the rest of the year with a torn labrum in his shoulder. He was having an awful year, just 3-6 with a 5.13 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.

The middle game took place between Steve Paustian (5-4, 5.04 ERA, 1.47 WHIP) and Sergio Andrade (3-3, 4.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP). The pitching was excellent, and we shut the Padres out 2-0.

Paustian went 8 innings with 3 hits, 2 walks, and 10 strikeouts. Chad Scoles got the save, a hit and 2 strikeouts in the 9th.

Luis Mora was 2-for-3 with a run scored, double, and RBI. Ernie Frye was 2-for-4 with a double and run scored. Jackson Miller was 1-for-3 with a steal and RBI. Gregorio Alvarenga was 1-for-3 with a walk and double. Paustian was 1-for-3.

Orioles SS Jorge Alanis extended his hit streak to 20 games.

June 21st, 2031: I convinced 6th Round Pick CF Rogelio Fletes to skip his commitment to TCU and extend sign a $4.1 million bonus. He's a 3* potential with great power and speed. He can also play everywhere except catcher and pitcher.

We looked to pull off the sweep with C.J. Jorgensen (4-4, 4.82 ERA, 1.48 WHIP) facing Joe leithner (0-2, 6.52 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) in his third start of the season. We exploded offensively, and swept past the Padres with a 15-7 win.

C.J. Jorgensen allowed a hit (that later scored) to the only batter he faced after leaving with an oblique strain. He will not miss his next start.

Rodolfo Esquilin tossed 3 innings with 6 hits, 2 runs, a walk, and 2 strikeouts. Danny Dempsey went 2 innings with 4 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, and a strikeout. Shiro Hiraki imporved to a perfect 7-0, pitching 2 innings with 3 hits, a run, walk, and 2 strikeouts.

Rodolfo Solorzano was 4-for-5 with a double, 2 homers, 4 runs, 6 RBI's, and a walk. Juan Simental was 3-for-5 wiht 3 runs, 2 RBI's, a double, and walk. Juan Ramirez was 2-for-4 with a solo homer, hit by pitch, and 2 runs scored. Jon Reid was 2-for-5 with a double, steal, and 2 RBI's. Pat Hughes was 2-for-5 with 2 runs scored. Mac Horvath was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Ken Adeniran had a pinch hit double and later scored in the 8th. Jarred Kelenic had a pinch hit RBI single in the 3rd. Luis Mora hand a pinch hit single and scored in the 7th.

Cardinals starter Juan Sevilla tossed a 5-hit shutout in a 10-0 win over the Expos. He struck out 7 and walked just 1.

Michael Conforto hit his 500th career home run. The 38-year-old veteran has a .266/.361/.521 career line with 1,360 RBI's in 2,131 games with the Mets, Rangers, and Diamondbacks.

Isaac Rodriguez's streak was ended at 23 and Jorge Alanis' at 20.

We'll look to ride our momentum all the way to Seattle for three with the Pilots. We'll face Juan Quintana (7-1, 3.50 ERA), Jaquan Pimpton (4-5, 4.50 ERA), and Shamar Colar (1-1, 3.94 ERA).

June 22nd, 2031: Fan Vote Update: Horvath 3rd for 1B. Ramirez 3rd for LF. Simental 1st for CF. Frye 3rd for RF. Esteban Aguirre 1st for SP. Chad Scoles 1st for RP.

The Rockies will be without RF/P Shoehi Ohtani for the rest of the year with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. Ohtani announced he was already planning on retiring once this year ended, ending his career as a 36-year-old. As a hitter, he'll end with a .255/.320/.481 line with 211 homers and 583 RBI's. As as pitcher, he was 67-81 with a 4.86 ERA in 291 games (224 starts). He struck out 1,205, had a 1.47 WHIP, and even recorded 2 saves.

Esteban Aguirre (11-0, 1.49 ERA, 0.74 WHIP) was given the nod in the opener against Juan Quintana (7-1, 3.50 ERA, 1.18 WHIP). who had a great start to the year, but is beginning to cool up. Up 1-0 in the 9th, Kellum Clark tied the game with a pinch-hit solo homer off Chad Scoles to force extras. In the 10th, we scored 4 and won the opener 5-1.

Juan Simental left with an injury...

Aguirre tossed 6 shutout with 5 hits, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts. C.J. LaFever got the hold, 2 innings wiht 2 strikeouts. Scoles was charged with 2 hits, a run, and he got a strikeout.

Jackson Miller was 2-for-4 with a double, 2 RBI's, and a walk. Jon Reid was 1-for-4 with a walk and RBI. Aguirre was 1-for-2 with a walk. Juan Simental was 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Gregorio Alvarenga was 1-for-6 with a triple.

June 23rd, 2031: We remained 1st in the Power Rankings. At 57-18, we have a 13 game lead over the Phillies.

Prospect Watch: SP Bubba Brown (AA Jacksonville):

Claimed off waivers from the Tigers, Bubba Brown currently ranks 17th on out list of top 30 prospects. A 23-year-old lefty from Brooklyn, New York, Brown was selected by the Tigers with the 25th Overall Pick in 2026. While his prospect stock has dropped, he still flashes signs of why he was a 1st rounder. Rated a 1.5/2.5, Brown has plus control and movement and does a good job keeping the ball on the ground. He has a plus-plus forkball, plus sinker, plus curve, and average changeup. In 9 starts with the Jumbo Shrimp this year, he's been amazing, going 4-3 with a 1.80 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. He's struck out 48 in 45 innings, but he does have 22 walks. He also tossed 7.2 innings out of the pen in New Orleans, working a 2.35 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 6 strikeouts and 5 walks. Brown has big league upside, and will likely seem himself protected in the Rule-5 Draft.

We'd look for win number 7 in a row as Juan Maya (8-0, 3.76 ERA, 1.22 WHIP) looks to stay perfect against southpaw Jaquan Pimpton (4-5, 4.50 ERA, 1.32 WHIP). The pitching was great, and we topped the hosts 8-2.

Jon Reid left with a bruised forearm, but he will likely miss just a few days.

Maya went the distance, allowing 5 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and he struck out 5 in his first career complete game. Honestly, can't even remember my last complete game...

Mac Horvath was 3-for-5 with a double, run scored, and RBI. Jackson Miller was 3-for-4 with 2 doubles and 2 RBI's. Takeshi Kino****a was 2-for-5 with 2 runs scored. Rodolfo Solorzano was 1-for-1 with a run scored, sac-fly, and 3 walks. Gregorio Alvarenga was 1-for-4 with a double, 2 runs, walk, and RBI. Ernie Frye was 1-for-5 with a double and run scored.

After the game ended, I had to cut my GCL roster from 73 to 40. I sent 5 prospects to the Cardinals for RHP Sergio Garza. I sent 5 prospects to the Red Sox for CF Sergio Burgos. I sent 5 prospects to the Rockies for RHP Gregorio Arrieta. Finally, 5 more to the Mets for SS Juan Salinas.

June 24th, 2031: We looked to finish the sweep off with Dursun Erbakan (4-1, 5.09 ERA, 1.46 WHIP) facing Shamar Colar (1-1, 3.94 ERA, 1.44 WHIP). We couldn't finish off the hosts, and they took the finale 9-4.

Erbakan allowed 5 runs in 4 innings off 7 hits with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts. Rodolfo Esquilin allowed 2 hits, 3 runs, and a walk in 1.1 innings. Ken Adeniran allowed 2 hits, a run, 2 walks, and struck out 3 in 2.2 innings.

Jackson Miller was 2-for-3 with a run scored, double, and walk. Mac Horvath was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Juan Ramirez was 2-for-5 with a double. Rodolfo Solorzano was 1-for-4 with a solo homer. Takeshi Kino****a was 1-for-4 with a run scored and walk. Ernie Frye was 1-for-4 with a run scored, RBI, walk, and double. Adeniran was 1-for-2.

Astros starter Juan Placencia tossed a 4-hit shutout in a 5-0 win over the White Sox. He struck out 9 hitters.

Off to Chicago for three with the first team in the NL Central. We'll face Jake Florence (8-4, 2.42 ERA), Seth Halvorsen (6-5, 3.68 ERA), and Sergio Barreto (9-5, 3.17 ERA).
