Suppose there are a few journeymen on the roster to shuffle through first, but Green has to be getting a serious look.

 

Zavolas has to be dying to pitch. Begins season in Biloxi, gets pushed back to make a start for Nashville instead, Nashville's game postponed, sent back to Biloxi to start tonight and now that gets postponed.

Pre-Game Media Notes

 

Redbirds Slug Past Sounds in Nashville's Home Opener

Memphis Launches Four Homers in Rout

 

Sounds reliever Hoby Milner was a bright spot out of the bullpen. The southpaw struck out all three batters he faced in the seventh.

 

Interesting aspect during Brewers road trips, as players will be pulled from the Sounds' roster.

 

Gee, the Brewers are desperate for a hot, right-handed hitting corner infielder, and the roster crunch strikes again as Zach Green is not on the 40-man roster.

Opening Night Postponed in Biloxi

Game Will Be Made Up as Part of Doubleheader on Friday

 

VIDEO via WXXV: Weather turned out fine, infield in particular was not. Plenty of grounds crew shots here. Darn shame for an Opening Night, actually.

Box: Down East (Rangers) 2, Carolina 1

 

Mudcats Trail From Start to Finish in 2-1 Loss

Carolina pitchers added 11 more Ks to their MiLB leading total of 102 in the loss

VIDEO via WNCT: Game highlights from the Wood Ducks perspective, but includes Gabe Holt's RBI single

 

18 K's by Mudcat batters -- Freddy Zamora and Joey Wiemer each 0-for-4 with golden sombrero's. Only Holt and Felix Valerio atop the order avoiding the strikeout curse.

 

Holt and his .966 OPS has fanned only once in 23 AB's.

Green with another homer for Nashville.

 

Brewers are in big need of a RH corner infielder with power. Sooner rather than later. Green checks a lot of boxes.

Well, RHP Noah Zavolas too, but that's Mother Nature and roster circumstances.
