Is there a suggested way to do the training? I’ve left it on auto but have never figured out if I should micro manage that.

I would break down my question into these categories:

Young players
In between players
Old players

Position Players
Pitchers

How long to focus on any one group of attributes?

Good question my Pirates have pretty poor hitting stats so I basically moved all of them to batting cages or whatever is the hitting training. I dont know if I should keep it there or change it up.

I just set it to auto. I don't think it matters all that much.

A's Upset Astros in Game 1 Rout

The A's took game 1 of the AL Wild Card series over the heavily favored Astros 10-0.

Jack Flaherty proved to be the ace the A's were hoping for after his trade, giving up just 2 hits over 7 innings while striking out 12 in a dominant performance.

The A's showed off their muscle, slugging 5 home runs. Brent Rooker started off the scoring with a massive 2 run blast off Cristian Javier in the 1st that cleared the stands at Minute Made Park, traveling an estimated 445 ft.

Veteran Max Muncy added two of his own and rookie Clark Elliot hit two of his own, plus two more singles to go 4-4 in his playoff debut.

Game 2 is tomorrow in Houston at 7:05 with Oakland's Griffin Canning taking on Houston's Framber Valdez.

Pirates end July with series loss versus Phillies

The Pittsburgh Pirates end July with a 15-9 record in the month. Which was much better than their 10-16 record in June. Overall they were 5-1-1 in their series in the month.

After the all star break, Pittsburgh finished the month with sereies vs. the Giants, Guardians, Angles, Padres and Phillies. Each series saw Pittsburgh face off against teams with a better record than them. Yet despite the hower tiered opponents, Pittsburgh went 9-6 to end the month.

Game one versus the Phillies saw Pittsburgh give up the early 2-0 lead to eventually lose 4-3.

Game two saw Pittsburgh nearly spoil a solid first start for Domingo German but they were able to take the victory in extras thanks to a multi inning clinic that was put on David Bednar.

Game three was a back and fourth affair as the game saw the Pirates come back from down an early 2-0 deficit. Despite their efforts, they were unable to take the victory as the game went to extra innings yet again that eventually saw JT Realmuto's 10th inning rbi be the deciding factor.

The Pirates head into August with a slim (but important) 1.5 lead over the Brewers. The lead is important as it seems that the only one to make the playoffs out of the division will be the winner.

Pittsburgh will start the month of August with a three game set Vs. The Detroit Tigers (48-58/3rd AL Central).

The rich get richer

The Padres were obviously upset after their late July sweep by the hands of the Pirates. As with the trade deadline closing in, they made one of the biggest acquisitions of the year. San Diego acquired the services of Joey Votto (39 YO 73 OVR A POT) in exchange for a potential prospect in Korry Howell (24 YO CF 68 OVR C POT). Votto leaves behind a sixteen year career in Cincinnati in hopes of getting a ring to end his career.

2023 Washington Nationals







The start of September means two additional roster spots, and the Nationals have elected to call up RP Sean Doolittle for veteran and left handed relief in the bullpen, and OF Donovan Casey, who played over 100 games in 2022 at the MLB level and showed some positive signs, but lost his role due to the free agent signings in the offseason. There will be further moves in the coming days, as both SP Jackson Rutledge and 1B Drew Mendoza will be coming off the IL in a week or so.

Game One: Aaron Nola (14-6, 2.46) vs Stephen Strasburg (12-7, 2.21)
The Nationals took the lead in the first following a single from Yadiel Hernandez and a double off the wall by Joey Meneses. Brandon Nimmo and Keibert Ruiz would repeat this situation in the second to make it 2-0, but Atlanta responded in the third with a sac fly from Ronald Acuña Jr and back to back home runs by Dansby Swanson and Ozzie Albies in the fifth to take a 3-2 lead. Albies would be the game-changer in this one, killing a rally in the seventh with a fantastic double play and then breaking the game open in the eighth with a two run double. The Nationals had no answers against Raisel Iglesias and AJ Minter and lose the first game of the series.

Game Two: Spencer Strider (11-8, 3.48) vs MacKenzie Gore (9-9, 3.82)
The Braves scored in the first when Wil Myers doubled to drive in Ronald Acuna Jr. They then got home runs from Matt Olson in the sixth and Ronald Acuna Jr in the seventh, as well as an RBI double from Acuna in the eighth. Colin Poche would give up a two run home run to Austin Riley in the ninth, in his second inning of work. The Nationals would get two runs in the bottom of the ninth when Andrew Vaughn hit a home run, but that was all the offense they could put together and Atlanta took another one from Washington.

Game Three: Kyle Wright (11-8, 3.94) vs Josiah Gray (8-12, 2.84)
Atlanta once again jumped on the Nationals when William Contreras hit a two run single in the first, but Washington responded by scoring four in the bottom half: Brady House walked, Andrew Vaughn doubled, and then Yadiel Hernandez and Joey Meneses walked to bring in House, Gleyber Torres hit a two run single, Brandon Nimmo singled, and Keibert Ruiz bounced into a double play but a fourth run would score. Kyle Wright would need 32 pitches to get through the first; but the Braves offense would give him extra support by putting up a four spot in the top of the second, three runs scoring on a home run from Ronald Acuna. Michael Harris continued the scoring with a home run to start the third, and he would homer again, this time a two run shot, in the fifth. Harris would hit his third home run, another two run bomb, in the seventh, and Matt Olson added a two run homer of his own in the ninth to make this game a laugher. Washington finally got their fifth run in the ninth, but it was way too little too late.

The Nationals are back to .500, and will have a day off before heading out west to face the Angels, A’s and Padres.

Astros Tie Series at 1-1

The Astros recovered from their 10-0 loss by shutting down the A's offense in a 5-2 win.

Framber Valdez was scattered 8 hits across his 8 innings with the only runs against him coming on a 2 run homer in the 6th from Oakland's Gleyber Torres.

The A's Griffin Canning shut down the Astros for 3 innings before giving up a 2 run shot to Eugenio Suarez in the 4th.

Canning was shaky in the 5th giving up another run and only getting one more out before being replaced by Zach Jackson.

Jackson struggled with command, walking two and allowing both to score.

The winner-take-all game 3 is tomorrow with the A's Michael Lorenzen taking on Houston's Luis Garcia at 7:05.
