    Twins Get Swept in Toronto

    After a very successful series in Detroit, the Minnesota Twins fell flat on their face as they were handed a three-game sweep in Toronto by the Blue Jays.

    On Friday night, the Jays got a two-run walkoff homerun from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to win 3-2 to set the tone for the series. The Twins had scored two runs in the top of the ninth to take the lead, but it was short lived after Tyler Duffey failed to preserve the win. Chris Paddack went eight strong innings, allowing just an unearned run while striking out seven.

    Saturday night offered another low scoring affair as Toronto edged Minnesota again 3-1. Gio Urshela provided the lone offense for the Twins with a solo homer in the fourth. Drew Strotman (0-1) was the tough luck loser in his major league debut. He went five and two-thirds allowing all three runs.

    Guerrero Jr. provided all the offense the Jays would need as they completed the three-game sweep with a convincing 5-2 win on Sunday. Joe Ryan (3-6) continued his struggles as he went just five innings and allowed four runs. Byron Buxton homered in the first inning to give the Twins an early lead.

    After a much needed off-day on Monday, the Twins head back home for a tough six-game homestand against the Yankees and Rays. Both teams are battling back-and-forth for the lead in the American League East Division.

        I have been lazy lately with updating my franchise and offseason, as I'm actually about to start the 2023 season.

        Here is a recap of the offseason:

        Cardinals 2022-2023 offseason acquisitions recap


        RHP - Dellin Bettances
        RHP - Luis Medina (trade NYY)
        LHP - Justin Wilson
        LHP - Zach Britton
        LHP - Robbie Ray (trade SEA)
        1B - Anthony Rizzo
        OF - Magnerius Sierra


        2022-2023 offseason wrap up around the league


        ATL - SS - Carlos Correra
        WSH - RHP - Aaron Nola
        BOS - LHP - Sean Manea

          Cardinals 2023 Season Outlook


          The winter was actually uneventful for the Cardinals aside from the Goldy trade, the trade for Robbie Ray, and the acquisition of Anthony Rizzo. For the most part, the 2023 Cardinals will look just like the 2022 version, outside of Anthony Rizzo being at first and Robbie Ray in the rotation.

          The Cardinals tried to make additional acquisitions but nothing worked. They were spurned by a few free agents, so they decided to make what they have work with a few improvements.

          Tyler O'Neill, Harrison Bader, and Dylan Carlson expect to be the Opening Day/everyday outfielders. Nolan Arenado, Gio Urshela, Tommy Edman, and Anthony Rizzo figure to be the Opening Day everyday infielders. Yadier Molina and Andrew Knizner will likely again be the battery mates behind the dish.

          The rotation will have Jack Flaherty, Adam Wainwright, Miles Mikolas, Dakota Hudson from last year with Robbie Ray added. The bullpen is exactly the same aside from Zach Britton being in instead of TJ McFarland.

          The Cardinals are hopeful the rotation will be consistent and the injury bug will stay away (isn't everyone) as they look to bounce back from missing the playoffs in 2022 and play October baseball this year.

          For now, its time to report to Florida to gear up for another exciting season of baseball.

            Braves (21-11)(1st in NL East) win series at Mets (16-16)(4th in NL East)


            Game 1: W 7-2
            Albies had a great game in this one. Homered in both the 8th and 9th inning and earned a run in the 6th inning(RBI credited to Swanson)Braves scored 5 runs in the 8th. Ozuna homered in the 8th allowing Swanson and Riley to score. The Mets scored two runs, one from a solo HR by Escobar in the 2nd, the other an RBI Double from Davis in the 8th allowing Smith to score. This was the 6th win in a row for the Braves


            Game 2: L 2-3
            Mets started hot in this one. By the 5th the score was 3-0, including two HRs from Escobar, first in the 1st and then in the 4th. That made 3 HRs for Escobar in the first 2 games of the series. The Braves tried to make some noise but it wasn't enough. Ozuna picked up an RBI Single in the 6th allowing Fried to score. In the 7th Pina hit an RBI Single allowing Duvall to score. Max Fried takes the loss in this one


            Game 3: W 4-1
            The Braves bounce back to win the series. No HRs in this one but 2 RBIs for Rosario and 2 RBIs for Swanson. Swanson now leads the team with 20 RBIs on the season. Charlie Morton pitched a good game with 3 strikeouts in 6 innings. However, had had to leave in the top of the 7th with a bruised elbow. He could miss 1-6 days.

              Cardinals finish Spring Training 15-12


              The Cardinals finished Spring Training 15-12 and will now turn their attention to the regular season. The Cardinals get out of Spring Training healthy, although Paul DeJong spent time on the IL due to a sprained ligament in his knee.

              Cardinals got to see some positive things out of young players such as Nolan Gorman, Matthew Liberatore and Joshua Baez. All 3 will start the year in the minors, but Gorman and Liberatore could be called upon if needed. Baez will start at AA so its likely he won't reach the majors this year.

              Cardinals will look to get back into the postseason in 2023 with the first series coming in Chicago against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

                Cardinals take Opening Series from Cubs


                The Cardinals (2-1) took 2 games of a 3 game series as they began the season in Chicago against the Cubs in Wrigley Field.

                Opening Day the Cardinals gave the ball to their ace Jack Flaherty as he battled Marcus Stroman. Flaherty would go just 6 innings as he didn't have his best stuff, but he would earn the victory as the Cardinals took advantage of the wind blowing out hitting 4 homeruns in route to a 9-4 win. Anthony Rizzo, Gio Urshela, Tyler O'Neill and Harrison Bader would all go deep as the offense looked good. The bullpen was shaky again as Kodi Whitley would allow 3 runs in the 7th, but the bats and the back end of the bullpen closed things out. Alex Reyes pitched 2 innings to conclude the game striking out 5 of the 6 batters he faced.

                After an off day Friday, the teams squared off on Saturday afternoon with new acquired Robbie Ray getting the ball for the Cardinals. He would give up 2 runs over 7 innings and struck out 11, but after a day of hitting the ball like batting practice, Kyle Hendricks would shut down the Cards offense as they only managed 2 hits and zero runs. The Cubs would win 2-0.

                Sunday was the rubber match and was a good and horrible day for the Cardinals. They got the victory 4-1 with Giovanny Gallegos getting his first save of the season. They also got a Nolan Arenado to hit his first homerun of the season, a 2 run blast in the 5th. But trouble lied ahead.

                Dakota Hudson would last just 1.1 innings after leaving the game due to a strained pectoral. Hudson would be replaced by Ryan Helsley to got the win. In the bottom of the 6th, Harrison Bader would make a terrific running catch crashing into the ivy/brickwall. His throw would be way off line and you could tell there was discomfort. Bader would leave the game with what was later determined a torn labrum. But it gets worse, later in the game, Nolan Arenado would make a sensational stop and throw from his backside, but would come up in pain. Arenado would later be diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff.

                The Cardinals head home to St.Louis on Monday afternoon for a brief 2 game series with the Pirates before the Reds come to town for a 4 game weekend series.

                Let's see how the Cardinals handle this given their injuries.

                  Nolan Arenado and Harrison Bader out for the season


                  3B Nolan Arenado (torn rotator cuff) and CF Harrison Bader (torn labrum) are both out for the season no matter how long it lasts.

                  Both were injured Sunday against the Cubs in Chicago.

                  Paul DeJong was recalled from Memphis to fulfill the vacant spot left by Nolan Arenado. OF Justin Toerner was recalled from Memphis as well to fulfill spot of Harrison Bader.


                  Cardinals place Dakota Hudson on 15 Day IL


                  RHP Dakota Hudson has been placed on the 15 day IL due to a strained pectoral. Hudson left the game in the 2nd inning Sunday with the injury. He's expected to miss 2-3 weeks with the injury.

                  The Cardinals have yet to make a corresponding move.

                    That’s terrible news with the two shoulder injuries. Have you adjusted your injury sliders at all or is it out of the box settings?

                      Been a while since I've updated.

                      San Diego Padres

                      Game 54: (26-27) San Diego Padres @ St. Louis Cardinals (28-25)
                      Joe Musgrove vs Steven Matz
                      Padres brought the camo jersey to Busch Stadium for Memorial Day. Some will wonder if the ball was camouflaged though as neither team saw it well. A combined 7 hits lead to a 2-1 win for The Cardinals, snapping San Diego's 6 game win streak. Corey Dickerson went 3 for 4 with the winning home run in the 8th. NL saves leader Giovanny Gallegos (23) came in to save th egame against the 2, 3 and 4 hitter. 3 feet to the left and Gallegos would have blown the save on his 2nd pitch to Trent Grisham who sent a foul ball into the stands just narrowly missing the foul pole and becoming the hero. Jake Cronenworth's hitting streak also ended at 10.
                      W: Brandon Waddell 1.0 INN
                      L: Ryan Weathers 2.0 INN, 1 H, 3 K, 1 ER
                      Series: St. Louis sweep San Diego and move to 1.5 behind the Central leading Cubs while San Diego are 6 back of Colorado.

                      *******San Diego Ship Mackenzie Gore to Rebuilding Oakland
                      San Diego trade (RF) Nomar Mazara, (RP) Ryan Weathers, (CF) Robert Hassell and the prize piece (SP) Mackenzie Gore. In return Oakland send (RP) A.J Puk and (CF) Ramon Laureano.
                      San Diego improves the outfield and gets a power bat. Oakland being 15 games under .500 get Hassell who looks to be a dominant CF for years to come and highly rated pitching prospect Mackenzie Gore to add to the young arms in the farm system. Ryan Weathers also shows promise and fits the timeline. Puk and Laureano should be available for the trip to Milwaukee and the rumor is Tatis will be back to start his 2022 season after an IL stint against The Mets on Monday. What this will mean for C.J Abrams is unknown after a strong 1st month in the majors., hitting .310 with 8 RBI in 84 AB's and moving to the lead off spot last week. Tatis will play 3 with El Paso against Salt Lake in AAA this weekend before the inevitable call up from his injury in the off season.

                          San Diego Padres 2022
                          Game 57: (26-30) San Diego Padres @ Milwaukee Brewers ( 22-35)
                          Mike Clevinger vs Freddy Peralta
                          Brewers bats go wild and win 14-3. Nothing else to say really. Hunter Renfroe, Severino and McCutcheon all homered.
                          W: Freddy Peralta 6.2 INN, 6 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 1 ER

                          Series: A split, 2 each but both losses for SD were ugly blowouts. Ramon Laureano started his career with The Friars. So far after his suspension to start his 2022 season, 5 with Oakland and 4 with Milwaukee, he has yet to register a hit.

                          Game 61 (28-32) San Diego Padres vs New York Mets (28-33)
                          Yu Darvish vs Max Scherzer
                          The Mets teed of in San Diego 10-3. Yu Darvish was rocky from the start. The 2nd pitch of the game, Jeff McNeil left the yard, going 3 for 5 with 2 homeruns and a triple. Yu Darvish left the game with no outs in the 3rd and down 6-0. The Mets racked up 16 hits and San Diego will hope for a goldfish memory after the series opener.

                          Series: San Diego takes 2 of 3 afte rthe ugly opener. San Diego welcome The Rockies to San Diego for 3 games and the return of Fernando Tatis who will slot in at SS with rumors speculating a move to outfield still possible. C.J Abrams will move to 2nd and Cronenworth to 1st which puts the 20 million dollar contract of Eric Hosmer to the bench. Ha-Seong Kim .165 avg, .278 slg will head to El Paso to make room for Tatis.

                          Game 64: (34-29) Colorado Rockies @ San Diego Padres (30-33)
                          Kyle Freeland vs Joe Musgrove
                          San Diego opened the game with back to back homeruns from Abrams and Machado. A 6-6 game in the 9th, 2 outs bases loaded and Trent Grisham comes up to bat, a triple shy of the cycle and he strikes out. Colorado gets the win 7-6 in the 11th after scoring and then catching Cronenworth out at the plate after tagging up. A disappointing result and worse after Tatis goes hitless in 4 AB's although to his credit he had 2 walks.

                          Series: Padres take 2 of 3 despite a single hit from Tatis in his 1st series of the season.
                          ****Luis Campusano, the Padres top prospect heads to the IL for 4-6 months with a torn achilles. Many predicted he'd get his callup in the Summer. Now they just hope he comes back healthy with no setbacks.

                            2022 Arizona Diamondbacks All Star Break

                            Overall record:56-41 (2nd NL West 4.5 GB of LA Dodgers


                            Diamondbacks limp into All-Star break


                            Arizona lost two of three to the San Francisco Giants but managed to win two out of the three game set against San Diego to head into the All-Star break.

                            The Diamondbacks have been a big surprise in the NL West and the MLB as a whole through the first half of the season. The teams 56 wins has already surpassed their 52 total from 2021. So all in all, the team is happy to be where they are at but are struggling to stick with the Dodgers in the race for the division.

                            In no surprise, Ketel Marte is leading the way for Arizona on offense with his .302 AVG, 27 HR and 62 RBI. He leads the NL in homeruns and is tied for 12th in the league in RBI's.

                            Madison Bumgarner has had a resurgence of sorts as he sits at a 11-6 record, 3.85 ERA and 80 strikeouts.

                            The top pitcher of the staff, Zac Gallen missed two starts with a injury but is slated to return after the all star break.

                            Ketel Marte, Carson Kelly and Mark Melancon made the NL All star team. Kelly was the only starter and went 0-2 with a walk. Marte also went 0-2 and Melancon did not play.

                            Marte was also in the homerun derby but was knocked out in the first round by Josh Donaldson who hit six homeruns to Marte's five in the one minute swingoff after both had 10 in the original round.

                            Next, Arizona returns home for a three game series Vs. the Washington Nationals (45-53).

                            More big moves around MLB as Seattle continues to clean house

                            In July, Seattle traded away Kyle Lewis, Jesse Winker, Tom Murphy, Adam Frazier and Ty France. A somewhat surprising turn of events as they are third in their division and just two games below .500.

                            In some of the big trades of the month, Boston improved their already scary rotation as they traded for Zach Plesac from the Guardians. They also traded for Tyler Naquin from the Reds.

                            In another move, Minnesota and Atlanta exchanged pitchers with the Twins getting Max Fried in return for Tyler Duffey and Sonny Gray.

                                I doing a Red Sox franchise and currently on June 11, 2022 with a record of 40-24 and leading the division by 3 games over the Rays. This is my second franchise because I wasn't happy with my settings and sliders on the first.

                                To recap the season so far, we've been led by the offense leading the majors in average and home runs while being second in runs scored. The pitching staff has held their own with a 3.47 ERA, ninth in the majors. Major injuries have been Chris Sale, James Paxton, and Josh Taylor not yet playing this season( used real life injuries for my team but not the CPU) and losing Bobby Dalbec in yesterday's game to a shoulder injury for 2 to 3 months. We signed OF Michael Conforto after the draft to a one year deal.
