    Going to start moving players up as we stay in the WC conversation.

    RF Al Briody (1.9 WAR) & C/1B Jon Fullem (1.8 WAR) made their debuts last season and played well. Briody is injured and Fullem is returning from injury but both figure to be in the mix going forward.

    SS/2B Dave Flatland (1.1 WAR) got better as last season went on eventually taking over at SS. He's struggled early this season but his defense is an asset while his hitting develops.

    SP Dave Hopkins (2.5 WAR) is off to a slow start but was a nice surprise last season. He'll continue to grow as a starter and will maintain his spot in the middle of our rotation.

    MR/SU Tom Bruce (3.15 ERA) continues to get better in his sophomore season and leads a much improved bullpen.

    MR Ron Sawyer (2.78 ERA) has earned his spot in our bullpen in his second full season.

    LF/RF Erik Byrd (.286) was playing well starting 24 games this season before his 3 week injury. LF/RF Nate Martin is back with the BLB club after going just 1 for 24 to start the season. Hopefully his Reno stint helps.

    OF Dave Tibbs (2022 1.6) makes his BLB debut this week as our 4th OF due to all the injuries in our OF.

    IF Ron Morgan (2021 2nd) becomes our new utility IF as Patrick Burchfield (2020 1.20) and AJ Brask (2017 3rd) have really struggled this season.

    C Ian James (2023 1.1), SS Dave Finlay (2023 1.18), and RF Micah Foglia (2020 2nd) have all made the jump to AAA Reno and are on track for September call-ups. James could debut after the Allstar break.

    CL Kevin Hurley (2018 3rd), CL Phineas Rich (2021 2nd), SP Jimmy Knutson (2019 1.9) and SP Francis Duarte (2022 3rd) could all be called up for extended stints this season.

      How about an 11 game losing streak? We're so bad and it just keeps getting worse. I thought we had a shot to at least finish with a .500 record but it has been abysmal. Doesn't help we lost our #2 pitcher in ST and then just recently lost our leadoff hitter. Pitching is very mediocre and hitting is beyond bad. I'm trying to not go crazy with changes, but I've tried to mix it up several different ways but nothing is working. Going to give it a couple more weeks with what I'm currently doing and then we'll switch it up again if needed. I'm sure I'll post a trade block at some point, but feel free to contact me with offers.
