AA Biloxi conclude their season with a chance to salvage a 3-3 series tie at home against Montgomery. LHP Adam Seminaris makes his 2nd start of the week (4.2 IP, 3 R, 4 Ks on Tuesday). Will this be free agency-bound 1B Ernesto Martinez's final game in the organization?

6'5" 1B Pinch-Running Ernesto Martinez at that! Even more appeal to add to his fantastic second half...🤭

Wouldn’t surprise me if Chourio is headed to Nashville to finish out his season there.

Shuckers got off to a nice start, with Adam Seminaris throwing 3 shutout innings and Brock Wilken hitting a 2-run double.

Then rehabbing Aaron Ashby came in to throw 31 pitches. 5 earned runs later…yeah, that’ll sap the enthusiasm.

Not surprising in the least. Ashby is currently a distant shell of his former self. Going to be a long road back. I just hope we see different results in 2024.

Nashville finishes off its last road trip of the year with chance to seal a 5-1 series win in Charlotte. RHP Evan McKendry looks for his third straight win (13.1 IP, 3 ER, 10 Ks in last 2 starts). INF/OF Owen Miller is 5-for-12 with a homer and double in 3 games since being optioned to AAA, as he tries to make his way back to the MLB roster.

Sounds loaded the bases on 3 walks in the 1st inning, but didn't score. Then McKendry gave up a solo homer on his 2nd pitch of the game. Nashville trails 1-0 through one inning, but they will win this thing.

Well that was entirely misplaced optimism on my part. McKendry conceded two more homers, exiting down 6-1 after 4 innings. It's now 8-1 in the 6th inning. Not a great baseball day. Or football day. The Cubs had better lose to at least attempt to balance the day.

Pretty barren boxes besides the aforementioned Seminaris innings and Wilken double.

Russell Smith threw two scoreless frames for Biloxi with 1 H | 2 K.

Pretty small sample, but after surrendering 6 ER on 0703, he closed out the season throwing 19.1 IP of 25 K | 6 BB over his final 13 appearances with a 1.40 ERA.

Ryan Brady put up a zero too over 1.1 IP with 1 H | 1 K. Wraps up an impressive first full season with 72 K | 19 BB and only 2 HR allowed over 77 IP of 2.69 ERA between Wisco and Biloxi after skipping over Carolina completely.

Garrett Mitchell singled, walked, got plunked and stole a bag. Tyler Black hit a bomb. JBB K’d two in a clean IP.
