TRHL Owners,

Series 21 has been completed.

REMINDER - It's 25 IP minimium for pitchers, 75 PA for batters to be on the active roster, even with the replacement level system in use (for catchers now; all players in September).

The trade deadline has passed.

Catchers in August can now be used beyond 110%/150% but with the replacement level system enabled.

Any promotions by the file drone can be changed prior to the playing of the current series' games, and the re-farming does not acount toward the three farm limit. File drone promotes to players to ensure active roster is at mandatory minimum 25 (maximum 26) players.

Also, I'm not worrying about promoting a player if team drops to 25 active. I'll do something if active roster goes below 25 men.

Results attached.

First three games

Like a broken record, we win Wheeler's start and drop the other two.

After winning Game One I was so fixated on thinking about how this team just couldn't lose that I barely noticed us getting shutout in Game Two. I did notice getting shutout in Game Three.

For the first time in what feels like forever, Siskiyou drops the homestand 1-2.

Portland sweeps. For Portland @ Rogers let the computer manager pick the starting pitchers, please use the following lineups:

Degrom - RHP hurt RHB
Greinke, Wacha - RHP hurt LHB 240

We head to the land of the sleeping giant for the next three with the away side from Fort William taking two of three...

For the McCallions series. Ryan already got it in email but posting here anyhow.

Breakers salvage third game. MP ready.

Home squad gets all three.

Canons win first two

Game 1: The Whitecaps hit four homers, but Plesac only allows one other hit, as the McCallions are able to take an 8-5 win.

Game 2: Pablo Lopez has his good stuff, as he strikes out 12 over 6 innings, and the McCallions put in enough offense to make this feel fairly safe. McCallions 4, Whitecaps 1

Game 3: Close through 8, the Whitecaps rough up Loup in the 9th, to take a 5-2 win and avoid the sweep.

Please use the computer manager to select both starting pitchers and lineups.

G1 was one of the craziest DMB games I've played. Wichita got 4 solo HRs off of G. Cole in each of the first 4 frames. Wind chased Cole in the 4th and led 9-0 after T4. By the end of the 6th, it was all tied at 10. Chinook went on to win 12-10 and then games 2 and 3 as well.

Portland sweeps.

The Heroes cruise to a sweep in UCity. No injuries.

The Whitecaps ride their arms to a sweep of the McCallions, with 5-0, 5-0 and 5-4 wins, the last one a late comeback punctuated by Trevor Story's two-run triple.

In a pivotal series, Texas takes 4 out of 6 from the tough Siskiyou squad. Rattlers now 35 and 12 in last 47 games.

Canons win 5 of 6 vs. Newark

Firedogs sweep

An ugly series for Temple City. They lost the first game 5-4 in extra innings and got shutout 7-0 in game 2. In game 3 they jumped out to a 6-0 lead against the NRIs number one starter Dinelson Lamet. Smiley cruised through the first 5 innings allowing only 3 a base runners and no runs. By then the NRIs had pulled many of their best hitters against lefties to save precious at bats. Then the wheels fell off. Following two singles a homer, a walk and a single, Smyley was pulled in favor of a right hander who came in to face all of the hitters who came in to save at bats and who mash against righties. The NRIs put together four more singles to take the lead 7-6 before the inning was over. In the ninth to add injury to insult Victor Gonalalez hit Brando Nimmo with a pitch in the face injuring him for the game, plus 13 more games. Gonzalez then gave up a hit to put runners at the corners but then retired Betts to end the game.

For Portland at Temple City let the computer manager pick the starting pitchers. Please use the following lineups:

RHP hurt LHB - vs Fiers
RHP neutral - vs Singer, Turnbull
