Thanks Matt!

5-1 week for the Pilots. Swept Wilmington (sorry, Ryan) and then went 2-1 against New Orleans, with the loss by a single run. Seattle is now 5.5 games up in the Bock and that seems like a lot to make up with such a strong IL field.

The saga in CF continues: New development report shows a decline in CF Riley Thomas, who is still out three weeks. On the roster, neither Elisha Ziegler or Lance Burns did anything of note this week. Out of desperation, we signed 33-year-old veteran Dusty Vitone to a minor league deal. He had been sitting at home since being cut in May. He might get some run against lefties. Who knows.

Down in Rookie League, we had a chance to clinch the West Division as we were tied going into the week with Mobile (DEN). Instead, we lost every single game, losing the division by four and then dropping the first game of the playoffs. I didn't expect to make much noise as we moved a lot of talent up to Single-A but damn. Rough week for the Cleveland Bobcats.

A much needed quality sim in California!

The Austin Rustlers snuck into the playoffs, but are now down 1-0 to Mobile after wasting a great start by Quinton Scacceri in a hard fought 2-1 game.

5-1 for the Bats. We lost a close game against former Bat minor leaguer Lyonya Horujev, but managed to win all the other games. We're closing in on 100 wins and could potentially lock up the Stout division next sim, officially.

We didn't have Zuniga until the last game of this sim, and Nunes is still slumping so it's been some lesser players making contributions lately. Jaylin Richardson and new call-up Hunter Jeffries both filled in and hit .500 with 2 HRs apiece. Ever since I mentioned Blake Hartman was nearing the team HR record, he's gone cold. Hopefully he's got a few more homers in him to finally break that record - I've had several guys come close only to fall short. My stars are suddenly not really playing that well (or at all, in Zuniga's case), but hopefully that'll change in the 3 remaining weeks.

In the minors, RL Omaha missed the playoffs after a late season swoon. But, the three other teams won their division, so hopefully one of them can make some noise in the postseason.
