The honor of starting Carolina’s final 2021 game against Kannapolis goes to TJ Shook. Ashton McGee (left game after hit-by-pitch 2 days ago) and Ernesto Martinez (last played on August 4th) remain absent:

Je’Von Ward gets a crack at the leadoff spot, as the Timber Rattlers aim to end a 4-game skid:

 

1 - Ward - LF

2 - Cantrelle - DH

3 - Gray - CF

4 - Dillard - 1B

5 - Lujano - RF

6 - McClanahan - 3B

7 - Coca - 2B

8 - Rios - C

9 - Pinero - SS

X - F. Adames - P

[Lathund]

Je'von Ward needed just 5 innings to hit for the cycle.

 

Felix Valerio didn't hit for the cycle, but put up what I suspect is a fairly unusual line as well; 4 doubles, one against each of the 4 pitchers who pitched for Kannapolis.

[Ro Mueller]

Josh Lindblom makes his 12th start and 14th appearance for the Sounds, which should mean he’ll NOT be promoted in the coming days for an MLB spot start. He’s been dominant in AAA (1.37 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 9.3 K/9 in 59.1 innings):

The Shuckers need this win at home for a 3-3 series split with Pensacola. Garrett Mitchell’s not starting (available?) and Lucas Erceg is pitching, so we may have a 1-man position player bench! Go Team Resiliency!!:

 

1 - Hamilton - SS

2 - Longo - CF

3 - Fry - C

4 - Palma - DH

5 - Castro - LF

6 - Spanberger - RF

7 - G. Garcia - 3B

8 - Devanney - 2B

9 - Aguilar - 1B

X - Erceg - P

What’s a more rare feat for the Rattlers?

 

Ward with the cycle or Dillard with 5 walks?

[brewmann04]

Barker works out of a jam to get another save.

[wibadgers23]

Mitchell sure does miss a lot of games.

[SomewhereInTime]

John LaRossa now has a 12.03 ERA over 33.2 innings, as a 26 year old pitching for the Timber Rattlers.

AUDIO via the Sounds' "Rounding Third" Podcast: "Jeff Hem sits down with Sounds pitching coach and former Sounds pitcher Jim Henderson, who talks about his path into coach after his 14-year playing career, the winding path his player career took, memories and emotions of getting his first MLB call-up in '12 while pitching for the Sounds in the 10th season of his career, his mentality on the mound and how it serves him as a pitching coach, some entertaining questions he gets about his native Canada, and his upcoming journey into fatherhood."

Two Big Innings Help Shuckers Secure Win and Series Split

Fry Homers For Biloxi In Victory

By Garrett Greene

 

Fry continues to look intriguing. .355 OBP with some power, has played every position except shortstop and center field.
