RHP Cam Robinson's first outing for Nashville went...well...just like you'd expect: dominanced. No meaningful contact. An eclectic mix of speed and off-speed. Ahead in all counts. Three up. Three down. Closing strikeout on a beautiful off-speed pitch. Victory. Sounds win 9-2. 

That final pitch of the game did look like nasty off-speed, it was however 96 MPH, so... yeah that's a disgusting cutter ?

[Joseph Zarr]

Carolina facing some adversity here in the bottom of the ninth. They lead 5-1 but Vassalotti just walked a batter and the bases are now juiced with only one down. Let's hope he can sneak his way out of this. ?

RIght?! His cutter is dirty. It gets me near every time. ?

Whewwww. A flare to CF and Avina can't corral it. One run crosses. The bullpen is active. Bases juiced. Still one down. 5-2.

[Joseph Zarr]

Vassalotti gets a weak dribbler to the mound and gets the second out at home. BUT, he then walks in the 3rd run. 5-3 Mudcats and we get tantalizing young LHP Leoni De La Cruz to try and shut this threat down before things get out of hand. Whewwwwww. Bases still juiced.

[Joseph Zarr]

Oh my word...Fernandez makes an incredible sprinting and leaping catch on the warning track in deep right field. Whewww. That ball had a charge in it. We'll take it! Let's get off this diamond, men! Mudcats win it 5-3.

From those videos it looks like Wiemer has toned down the moving parts to his swing just a little. Or am I just seeing what I want to see?
