Late SIM on Friday as I have a coaching clinic all day Fri/Sat.

Pawtucket 4-2. We slowly keep getting better.

Question: How the FU%@ does not fan interest increase from acquiring a VERY POPULAR players. Its happened to us a couple of times now the past few seasons.

Were stuck at 65. Oh the moment we lose a player fans leave in mass and we've been taking +5pt or more hits. I'm still very confused on this subject lately.

4-3, but the injury bug bit us hard.

Harmony looks like he might be done for the year. Colgate out a month and a half. Myatt out as well. Kane still on the shelf.

Going to be tough moving forward.

Wow. What a rough sim for Seattle. It appears the sim gods were not happy with my 24 UDFA signings.

-Rookie SP Ron Lensini (#26 prospect) is out for four weeks with an "undisclosed injury." He wasn't even pitching on that day. The news says players and coaches are denying any allegations of how it happened. "He will miss a couple weeks, and that's the best case scenario."

-The July Player Development report was harsh. My 1st, 2nd , 5th, 6th and 7th round picks all took potential ratings hits. SP Redford Jeralds getting hit the worst losing two potential ratings points on control and one on stuff.

I've noticed the same. I've gotten notices saying my fan interest has fallen after trading Morales and seeing Urmson and Lippert sign with others. But I got nothing about a positive bump for getting Yonke or Jaylen Mitchell, and my interest didn't go up then. Feels like it's not working as it should.

Bats went 4-3. I was hoping for a bit more, since they were all at home. But Yonke was Player of the Week so that's good to see. Pitching isn't doing as well though.

4-2 week was nice. Led by SS Johnny Skolfield we were able to keep pace in a tough division. Skolfield and Seibert have formed a very formidable left side of the infield.

Skolfield SS .317/.336/.475/.811 with 11 HR and 9 SB to only 1 CS. Decent glove has played well next to Seibert, who's ZR of +9.3 leads all BLB 3B, and his bat hasn't been too shabby either...he shit the bed last week, but overall he's been a very reliable hitter for us.

Rotationally, Big Jar Jarrod Syversten continues to climb the Millers' all time leaderboards, now 3rd all time in wins for the Millers with 99, and this sim passed former Miller A.J Hightower on the all time team strikeout leaderboard, with 1,386.

One week till Jamie O' gets back, and at the almost midway point - we're right where we want to be.

5-2 week for the Brawlers this week. Started and ended the week with losses but won 5 in a row in between. Mostly done with smoke and mirrors but Pat Brown had a two home run game including a grand slam against the Slobs, I mean Tobs in a 9-3 win.

[Carlos]

Denver goes 3-4 and moves .5 back of first. Sometimes you gotta find the light.

[Spectre]

5-1 sim, I like it. The pitching really stepped up this week, taking 2/3 from Batavia and sweeping DVS in a very closely fought series. Fernando Ortiz is coming off the DL which is great news so the offense should get another kick in the right direction.

[Hank]

Holy crap.
Nearly every player from this recent draft pick dropped in ratings according to my scout.
Awesome.

[Carlos]

Matt Healey leads the IL in hits and singles. He's second in doubles trailing his teammate by one, and is tied for first in triples with another teammate.

He can't hit home runs but the Stallion sure can smash the ball into the gaps.

[Delandis]

Damn. My AA manager suspended one of the pitchers for being 30 minutes late.

Same thing happens in California every year. Although, with the little bit of winning we've done this year, our fan interest has gone from 62 to a personal high of 70!

[PaulC]

A 5-2 week that felt like it could have been 7-0, if we could just hit anything other than singles and the odd double. Our pitching continues to carry us while our bats fiddle fart around!

A HUGE seven game road trip before the all-star break for the Kodiaks. Picking up three wins and staying in a playoff spot would feel like a solid win in the coming week.
