Comets 2 at Whiz Kids 2 Game 1. Comets, 3-2 (10 innings). Dinelson Lamet threw eight hitless innings and struck out 12, but then hit the showers, as Archie Bradley relieved and gave up two runs in the 9th and another in the 10th for a blown save and loss. Strange game. Is there any way to force the Computer Manager to leave a starter in the game if he is pitching a no-hitter? Game 2. Whiz Kids, 4-2. Clayton Kershaw kept the Comet offense quiet, holding them hitless for five innings. He went 7-1/3 inning for the win, and Caleb Thielbar finished up for the save. The Kids led from the start, getting a home run from Fernando Tatis in the 1st inning. He hit another one in the 6th, which was followed by a Max Kepler homer. Game 3. Whiz Kids, 4-3. Kid starter Jordan Montgomery went seven innings for the win, his only mistake being a 3-run homer to Jose Ramirez. Kepler slapped another home run for the Kids in the first, and their other three runs oddly scored from third base on two GIDPs and a wild pitch. The wild pitch run came in the 6th and was the winner. Bradley pitched the 9th for the save. Game 4. Comets, 5-1. Comet starter Brad Keller gave up just six hits in eight innings– one a home run to Tatis – for the win. After a multi-game slump, Ron Acuna perked up with a homer and double. Of note, in the 5th, the Kids’ Isiah Kiner-Falefa and D. J. Stewart singled to lead off the 5th, but Gary Sanchez hit into a triple play. Rogues 2 at Larks 2 Exciting series where Sal Perez blasted 5 homeruns over 3 games. Gm1-Mitch Moreland cracked a pinch hit bases loaded double in the 8th to break open a 6-6 game that the Rogues held on to win 9-6. Cruz added 2 hits, 3 rbi and a homer. Bellinger hit one out and Engel had 3 hits. Gregorius had 3 hits in the loss. Perez and Schoop homer. Gm2-Maeda scattered 5 hits over 8 innings, striking out 8 in a 5-3 Larks win.

Nola 7 innings, 8 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts, 2 homeruns, Bassitt 8 innings, 5 hits, 3 runs, 4 walks, 7 strikeouts, 2 homeruns. However the game went 12 innings, as Corey Seager blasted a 2 run homer in a 6-5 Rogues win, despite a 3 homerun performance by Sal Perez. Rogues held a 3-2 lead in the 8th when Tony Wolters squeezed in a 4th run with a bunt base hit. He had 3 hits on the day. Rogues closer Liam Hendricks in the 9th gave up a hit and got 2 outs when Perez stepped to the plate with 2 outs in the 9th, trailing by 2. Tempted to walk him, and put the tying run on base, the Rogues opted to try their luck with Perez who had already smashed 2 long homeruns. Big mistake as Perez promptly tied the game to send it into extras. Seager had 2 hits, 3rbi, double to go with his game winning homer. Perez 3 for 5 3 homeruns, 4 rbi. Rizzo 3 hits.

 from the BASEBALL HALL OF FAME Start of a Fantasy |
WHY MOOSE? During the SBA one week trading window the Criers did one deal. We swapped out a 4th round pick + Aledmys Diaz for Mike Moustakis. The Moose is versatile, playing 1b, 2b, and 3b (but he's a 3 at 1b and 4 elsewhere) and has good on-base and power vs righties. The 3B plan had been for Edwin Rios, a LH'd power hitter, to face as many righties as he could. Asdrubal Cabrera would do the short half of the platoon and Aledmys, with a high power/low on base card would spell Rios especially against backwards righties. The kind of card Diaz has is susceptible to long hitless stretches. At the time of the trade he was batting .193 with a sub 650 OPS. This just won't fly. Since Rios is balanced we'll make him the 3Bman vs lefties and plug in Moustakis at 3B vs righties. Basically the Moose will be an upgrade over Aledmys and Asdrubal. With Rios out all year for the Dodgers Moustakis, also currently injured, will be some small part of a 3B tandem on the 2022 Criers. |
