Jacob Stylin commented on the season: "We have struggled and not struggled. Our pitching has been garbage. Our hitting has been inconsistent. We suck. Just like expected.

That's the spirit Jacob!

We received a trade request from Florida:
FLA gets:
Kenny Cust 3B AAA
PWR: C 123
CON: E 7
Run Spd: E 6
PHX gets:
Scott Olsen
W-L 5-3
ERA 5.15
Top Spd: 93 MPH
CTRL: C 137
Stam: B 136

The trade is interesting because we need a starting pitcher. Cust is a great young third baseman, and when he develops, he will be the 3rd baseman of the future. We have the worst ERA in the division, Olsen wouldn't help that but we is better than what we got.

Trade declined. We think Cust is a better long term option than Olsen.

AL wins All Star Game 5-3. We had no guys on the AL roster.

Jacob Stylin may be suspended for the remainder of the year.

Jacob Stylin has been suspended for the rest of the season. He pushed and shoved Yankees manager Joe Torre due to Bobby Abreu bunting to break up Eric Reid's no hitter in the fourth. He refused to apologize and called the MLB "Stupid". Bench Coach Robin Ventura will take over managerial duties for the rest of the season.
