About 40 games into my Mets franchise and was feeling great. Was a couple games over .500 on a 5 game winning streak. Thought maybe I should adjust sliders to make it a little more difficult and before I did, The Braves came to town and humbled me in a 3 game set taking 2 of 3 and outscoring me 22-12.....
This game man, 1 game to the next can be so different. This is the only sports game where I get such varying results. I love it. Onto Philadelphia for 4 games now.

Cardinals drop series to Rangers to end July

The Cardinals (58-51) lost 2 games of a 3 game series with the Rangers in St.Louis to begin the week and close out the month of July. The Cardinals are now a half game back of the Brewers in the NL Central. The Cubs are 3.5 back while the Reds are 4.5 back as the season turns to final two months.

The Cardinals just couldn't hit this series. They were shutout on Monday, had 1 run on Tuesday, and won Wednesday when they put up 8 runs, but on only 4 hits. Walks, errors and two timely homeruns were the driving force instead of consistent offense.

The Cardinals will begin the month of August in Chicago with a 4 game series against the Cubs. Its the final time these two will meet this year, which begs to question, what are the schedule makers doing?

August 5-7, 2024: COLORADO SPRINGS (51-65) @ FLAGSTAFF (52-65)
Stadium: AutoZone Park (Capacity: 13,406)

August 5: Snow Sox 3, Hops 1
August 6: Hops 7, Snow Sox 5
August 7: Hops 8, Snow Sox 1

Flagstaff, AZ (AP) - The Flagstaff Hops took two of three from Colorado Springs to close out the quick home stand as they moved out of last place in the ML West.

In the opener, the Snow Sox got a solid start from Chip Wolf and helped him with some timely offense in a 3-1 victory over the Hops. Wolf (8-6) went seven innings, allowing one run on five hits, while striking out eight and walking two.

The Snow Sox would grab the lead in the top of the first as Donnie Samuels led off the game with a solo home run to right off of Geraldo Rodriguez. It was Samuels eighth on the year.

Colorado Springs would increase that lead to 2-0 in the sixth on a bases loaded RBI single from Todd Austin. They would add a run in the seventh on a Donnie Samuels sac fly that scored Jacob Myers to make it 3-0.

Flagstaff would finally get on the board in the bottom of the seventh on an RBI single from Forrest Owen, scoring Roberto Geronimo. Geronimo went 3 for 4 with a double and had three of the five hits for the Hops on Monday evening.

Geraldo Rodriguez (4-9) took the loss, but he was solid, throwing 5.1 innings and allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits. He struck out four and walked two. Oliver Benedict pitched the eighth and came out to pitch the ninth, but had to leave the game with a finger injury. Trainers said the injury was not serious and he would likely only miss a day or two.

On Tuesday evening, the Hops used the long ball to even the series, hitting four home runs in a 7-5 victory. Emmitt Hampton blasted two home runs for the second straight game and drove in five runs to help lead the Hops to the win.

Flagstaff got off to an impressive start, hitting three first inning solo home runs. Thomas Sanders led off with a home run to open the inning, his third. After David Benitez grounded out, Emnitt Hampton homered to right to make it 2-0. One out later, Robbie Westbrook homered off of the foul pole in right to make it 3-0.

Colorado Springs would get in on the action too. In the top of the second Juan Primo (15) and Mike Rock (19) each hit solo home runs off of Ryan Pressley.

Emmitt Hampton ended an epic fifteen pitch at-bat in the bottom of the second with a long three-run home run to make it 6-2, his 20th on the season and the Hops were rolling. Hampton would add an RBI double in the fourth to put the Hops up 7-3.

The Snow Sox would make it interesting in themninth as Jacob Myer hit a two-run home run off of Sam Varela, but he managed to work his way out of it, getting James Dudeck to ground out to first to end the ball game.

Ryan Pressley (10-10) picked up the win, tossing 7.1 innings and allowing three runs on six hits, while striking out 11 without issuing a walk. Elmer Santos (0-6) took the loss for the Springs. He only lasted three innings, allowing seven runs on nine hits, including four home runs.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Hops used the long ball again, blasting five home runs in an 8-1 victory to take two of three from the Snow Sox. Richie Jackson hit two home runs and drove in four, his first two home runs in the big leagues, to help pace Flagstaff to the win.

Flagstaff would take the lead in the third on a Forrest Owen two run home run, his 13th on the year.

Colorado Springs would get one back in the third in an unusual way. Alex Farmer walked the bases loaded, then gave up a sac fly to Jacob Myers to get the Snow Sox on the scoreboard.

Back-to-back home runs from Thomas Sanders (4) and Richie Jackson in the fifth increased the Hops lead to 4-1. Jackson would hit his second home run of the game, a three-run shot, in the seventh to make it 6-1. Emmitt Hampton followed that up with a solo home run, the second back-to-back home runs in the game for the Hops. It was Hampton's 21st on the season and fifth in the last four games!

Alex Farmer (15-4) picked up the win, pitching six innings and allowing one run on just one hit. He struck out three and walked three, all in that fourth inning. Kenneth Valdez and Samuel Espinoza got the final nine outs.

Colorado Springs managed just two hits in the game. The win moved the Hops from fifth up to third in the ML West, tied with Prescott.

The Hops will have tomorrow off as they head to Texas to take on Fort Worth (65-52) and San Antonio (66-49), the two teams fighting for the ML East lead.

Around the League: Mesa hit eight home runs on Monday evening as they crushed Salt River 11-0. Garrett Matthews (12,13) and Damon Martin (8,9) each hit two home runs for the Solar Sox. Vincent Suarez (4-4) was spectacular on the mound as he scattered two hits over seven innings, striking out 12 and walking two to pick up the win.

Scottsdale's Tanner Bell went 4 for 5 with three doubles, a triple and five RBIs to lead the Scorpions to a 12-1 victory over Glendale to extend their lead in the DL Central. Lee Lim blasted two home runs (26,27) and also drove in five for Scottsdale as they moved a game and a half up on Surprise.

Salt Lake's David Hernandez hit for the cycle, going 5 for 5 with a double, two triples and a home run, driving in two in the Chukars extra innings victory over Rio Rancho, 8-7. His leadoff triple led to a Rafael Geronimo sac fly that won the ballgame in the bottom of the 11th inning.

St George won in walk-off fashion on Wednesday afternoon as Jamaal McCormack blasted a solo home run with two-outs in the bottom of the ninth as the Archers defeated Santa Fe 2-1 to take two of three from the Jays. It was McCormack's league leading 33rd home run on the season and moved St George 3.5 games clear of Salt Lake in the ML West.

Emmitt Hampton hit three home runs in the series and has five in this last four games.

Well we(Braves) swept through the Windy City! We took the 3-game set vs. CWS! 6-5, 6-1 and 11-5. It looks like on our getaway day our bats really unload on our opponents. It's early though. I had scare in Game 2 of the series, Fried strained his oblique in the bttm 2nd. Luckily for us it is not a long term injury, 1-6 days. He should be ready for his home season premier vs. the Mets. This is our debut at home. 3 game set vs. D-backs and 4 games vs. the Mets. We're looking to extend our 4-game winning streak. We called up 1B/DH/3B Evan Longoria and added him to our 40-man roster. He will bat as the DH vs lefties. If Olson durability gets low he will start at 1B.

A's drop four game series in Minnesota, 1-3.

The Oakland Athletics' series win streak ended at just two as they lost their series to the AL Central leading Minnesota Twins, 1-3.

The only game the Twins won was the third game of the series. J.P. Sears started and completed that game giving up just two runs on a 9th inning two run HR by Royce Lewis (#15).

Beyond that win, Minnesota really controlled each game in the series. Game one ended 3-2 in favor of the Twins but they had a 3-0 lead through five innings before Oakland scored two in the sixth.

The A's will now have a much needed day off before they return home to face off with the Royals (28-46/4th AL Central), a team they beat 2-1 in a series amonst exactly a month ago.

Oakland selling early?
The A's were offered a trade by the Miami Marlins after their third game against Minnesota. That trade was to send Brent Rooker (29 YO 78 OVR RF) to Miami in exchange for the MLB's #12 overall prospect, RHP SP Noble Meyer (19 YO RHP 66 ovr A POt).

Rooker was an all-star for Oakland in 2023 during his 30 HR campaign but he had struggled in 2024. He was still hitting for decent power (11 HR) but the rest left a lot to be desired as he led the MLB in strikeouts (97) and had an average below .200.

For those reasons, Oakland accepted the trade. Rooker will take over as the Marlins starting right fielder and Meyer has become the A's #1 prospect.

Lawrence Butler has taken over the starting RF role for Oakland and the A's #2 prospect, Jacob Wilson (utility player/22 years old 66 OVR A Pot) was called up and singled in his first at bat (game three win VS. Minnesota).
