Just played a 15-inning game against the Angels. Mike Zunino hit a two-run walk-off homerun to win 3-1.

We are now 8-1
AL West:
M's (8-1) -
Rangers (5-4) 3GB
A's (5-5) 3.5GB
Astros (4-6) 4.5GB
Angels (3-6) 5GB

Hitting leaders:
Despite the small sample sizes, Kyle Seager has hit .353 in 9 games this far. Cano has hit .316 and are the only everyday players. There are no standouts in any other hitting categories.

Hitting losers:
Kendrys Morales (.147), Mike Zunino (.156), and Austin Jackson (.179) are all under .200 as everyday players. Not too far behind is Brad Miller (.214) and Dustin Ackley (.219)

Others:
Chris Denorfia (.280)

Our bullpen has been ELECTRIC, as no one in the bullpen has even given up a run. Although that could be due to Felix pitching two CG's, Felix going 7/8 IP in his two starts, and Paxton going 7 in both his. Elias went 6/7 in his and Chris Young is about to make his second start agains Texas.

We lost Michael Saunders to a abdominal strain, so we called up Endy Chavez to take the 4th OF spot.

Here's the new lineup (for about a week)
1. CF Austin Jackson
2. LF Dustin Ackley
3. 2B Robinson Cano
4. DH Kendrys Morales
5. 3B Kyle Seager
6. 1B Logan Morrison vs. RHP/Corey Hart vs. LHP
7. C Mike Zunino
8. RF Chris Denorfia
9. SS Brad Miller

Bench:
UTL Willie Bloomquist
C Humberto Quintero
OF Endy Chavez

Rotation/Bullpen is the same as before.

Also: I use Authentic's sliders, and Mizzou's roster. go check them out.

Also, I will be doing random updates. I either watch/play every game, I also switch from playing/watching in the middle of games. I'd say it's about 75 playing/25 watching. I can't wait to get towards the draft, as that will have it's own post. At the end of each season, I'll post league leaders and award winners and stuff.
