Sat. 8/5 - The Dog Days Roll On, Full Slate On Tap

[Joseph Zarr]

With the Carolina victory they move back to 3 1/2 G ahead of the 2nd place Lynchburg Hillcats. Big 'W' tonight. 22-13 overall in the 2nd half.

Biloxi status has changed to “warmup” on the MiLB game day link so looks like they should be able to maybe get this one in.

[sveumrules]

Well, that didn’t take long, Isaac Collins goes deep for the 7th time this year.

1-0 Shuckers as the Blue Wahoos come to bat.

[sveumrules]

Back to back doubles from Jahmai Jones and Patrick Dorrian plated another run for the Sounds bottom of seven.

Only problem is Durham scored six runs twixt the two Dorrian RBIs so Nashville trails 7-2 with two sets of three outs remaining.

[sveumrules]

Carlos Rodriguez (the outfielder) with his first HR of the season top of third.

Tobias Myers with 1 H | 1 BB | 4 K through three scoreless frames.

A Chourio homer makes it 3-0 Shuckers

Yup. It was a historic blast:

Unpopular opinion maybe.. I think Jackson will be seeing the big league club in September, if not the end of August.

Not unpopular. I just don’t think the Brewers are going to do it. I do think he’ll be in Nashville shortly to finish out the year.

Definitely will be interesting to watch

[Joseph Zarr]

Vennaro just gave up a single, walk, walk, and single. It's now a tie ball game. 3-3. Two down. Men on 1st and 2nd for the Blue Wahoos.

CC was asked about it and didn’t give the impression it was likely.

This is some great company to be in though 

 

[Joseph Zarr]

RHP Ryan Middendorf is called to clean Vennaro's men on base. He does so inducing the grounder to Zamora at SS. On to the 7th. 3-3 ball game.

In the old days with expanded rosters I'd agree.  But now with only getting to add two players in September, I think they bring back Miller or Toro as right now they only have four guys who can play 2b/SS/3B.  Pitcher will likely be Lauer.

[Joseph Zarr]

Rodriguez K, Chourio fly out to CF, Collins BB, Clarke pop out to 3B. On to the bottom half of the 7th. 3-3.

[Joseph Zarr]

Middendorf will come back out for the bottom of the 7th.

[Joseph Zarr]

Middendorf just gave up a near 2-run jack to RF. Instead it was a two out rbi double. Wahoos lead 4-3. That ball was roped.

Just your weekly Biloxi bullpen choke tonight.

Was trying to be generous haha

[Joseph Zarr]

Middy gets away with the wild pitch and gets the groundout to Zamora at SS. On to the 8th. 4-3 Wahoos.

[Joseph Zarr]

Zavi Warren just missed a HR to RF by about 6-9'. That ball need a bit more launch. Fly out to the deep warning track of right CF. 

[Joseph Zarr]

After a sharp ground out to 3B off the bat of Freddy Zamora, Ethan Murray gets the classic weak dribbler infield single to 3B. Tristen Lutz to the dish. Two down. He strikes out on a 2-2 off-speed pitch. Shuckers lose 4-3. The bullpen fails to hold it late...the offense couldn't get another across.

What type of prospect is dorrian

This. I totally get the roster rule change as being allowed to go up to 40 was ridiculous. But I hate putting the cap at 28. Would much rather see thirty.

I feel it would take an OF injury epidemic (2 or 3 guys) for Chourio to see Milwaukee this year.
