AAA Nashville hosts Marlins’ affiliate Jacksonville for their final series of the season, with a lineup of interesting names: Winker-Wiemer-Black-Toro-Ruf-Roller-Junk. This is RF Joey Wiemer’s first minor league game of 2023 and likely RHP Janson Junk’s (4.26 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 6.0 K/9 in 131 IP) final appearance of the season.

No Chourio is a little bit of a let down

[markedman5]

Updated…..he is now DHing 

 

[Joseph Zarr]

Navarreto just drove a LF 2-run jack - well hit liner scoring Dorrian from 1st. His 7th of the year. RBI's 39 and 40. It's 2-2, now, in the 5th. Ol' Diamondback 2011 1st Rdr had just come on in relief. Struck out Roller. Gave up the long ball. 

[Joseph Zarr]

AND, I have no clue what happened after that. While rounding the bases the Sounds feed cut to a commercial break. There were only two down. And now the Jumbo Shrimp are batting in the 6th. LOL.

[Joseph Zarr]

Wiemer hit a 111 mph rope line out the inning prior. That was nice. Mitchell with a K and a groundout to 2B. Chourio with a groundout to 3B and a fly out to deep left CF - not quite the warning track. Just got under it.

Mitchell hit a 107 EV liner for an out at least according to baseball savant that is what happened.

[Joseph Zarr]

AND LHP Darrell Thompson is greeted by a weak as hyeck flare to shallow LF and Dorrian races back and short arms the attempt - it ricochets off his webbing. That ball had to be Roller's but with Dorrian charging he let up. That was his ball. Has to call him off. Not a generous play to your new reliever.

[Joseph Zarr]

Trivia Time:

CF Jackson Chourio is the youngest Sound since 3B Aramis Ramirez played for the Sounds back in 1998 as a 19 yo. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Thompson has walked two after that unfortunate flare single to open the inning. Bases juiced. Two down. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Thompson is now full not getting the chase on a high heater. BUT he pitched his absolute best pitch of his 31 pitch inning with a gorgeous sweeping slider that touches the bottom of the zone. Noice, Darrell! Real noice. Bottom of the 7th we go and it is still 2-2.

[Joseph Zarr]

Lead-off triple for Tyler Black. Well hit liner to the LF wall.

[Joseph Zarr]

AND, just like that AGAIN this time with Black at 3B and Toro to the dish the Sounds feed goes zero dark and Dorrian is now to the plate leading 3-2. What the hyeck is going on with their live feed tonight. Yuck-a-roo!

[Joseph Zarr]

Small pitches a clean 8th working around another weak dribbler Black couldn't barehand (don't know if there was a play regardless) getting a K swinging on a change-up in the dirt. On to the bottom half and the Sounds lead 3-2.

[Joseph Zarr]

Chourio oppo line drive double. Into 2nd standing up. That was his first Triple-A hit.

[Joseph Zarr]

Wiemer did hit a hard 111 mph rope to LF for an out earlier. He is now 0-for-4 carrying over his AB work from Milwaukee gloriously into his stint with the Sounds after hitting a chopper to the 1B side. He strands two in the 8th. And we're into the big money inning. I believe we'll see LHP Clayton Andrews who was warming up in the 8th.

[Joseph Zarr]

Andrews missed a 3-2 inside heater by an inch on the ABS screen. He does not miss on the next 3-2 pitch - a gorgeous change-up that tailed to the low part of the zone. One down. Man on first. 3-2 Sounds. Top of the 9th.

[Joseph Zarr]

Andrews follows the K with a gorgeous piece of fielding from the pitcher's mound. Weak dribbler to the 3B side. He read it instantly. Pounced off the mound. Scooted and turned and ripped to 1B. With two down he hung a slider to Austin Allen who had ripped several balls for outs tonight and it is ripped 428 feet over the wall in RF. It's now 4-3 Shrimp. Ugh.

[Joseph Zarr]

Letting out some frustration off that mistake pitch, Andrews touched 97 mph on his heater. You don't see that all that often. He gets the final out on a fly out to Wiemer in RF. Man. Tough one there. AND, that ball was absolutely crushed. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Black flies out to the LF warning track. Toro is up to try and extend his 33 game on base streak.

[Joseph Zarr]

Toro walks and extends to 34 games. Dorrian rips a 105 mph liner to RF. We have Sounds on the corners and one down.

[Joseph Zarr]

Roller has taken the count full. Roller K's swinging. Dorrian takes 2nd. Winning run is now in scoring position. Navarreto is up to try and win this. Whewwwwwwww.

The Sounds have a dozen walk-offs in 2023 and Navs has the most recent one. Let's go, big fella!

[Joseph Zarr]

HE DOES IT AGAIN!~!!!!!!! MY MAN!!!!! Goodness I love that man.

[Joseph Zarr]

Beautiful clutch rip down the 3B line drives in 2. That's a 4 RBI game for the underrated, underappreciated, undereverything catcher. That's two walk-offs off his bat of late. 

Who, cough, also caught a base stealer on the evening. Muh MAN!
