Ouch. Heal up. 
 

Down on the farm…. Considering how good Norfolk is, they have had their way with Nashville this series.

CF Rod is doing well thru 5 IP.  1ER, 1H. 1BB, 9K!!! At 93 pitches, so not sure if he goes out for the 6th.

[biedergb]

Middendorf in. Sounds up 3-1.  Rodriguez night complete. Encouraging start. I’m not watching so can’t report on his velocity or command, but something worked or clicked tonight.  I hope for more of this with Mr. Rodriguez.

[biedergb]

Biloxi down 6-3.  Rough start for Seminaris.  Offense ok - 9 hits, only a double not other XBH. It would be great to see them have a big inning or two at the plate.

Carolina, suspended - so resume tomorrow is what it sounded like.

[biedergb]

Middendorf strikes out the side - Norby, Mayo, Stowers 😳

on to the bottom of the 6th in Nashville 

Biloxi runner on base and two fly outs to end the inning.  Bottom 8, 6-3. Need a big inning with the bats

How/where do you guys watch minor league games, is it free/how much?

[biedergb]

Carlos D Rodriguez exited and was replaced.  Bunted in the top 1, played field bottom 1, He caught the third out. Then bottom of 2, he was replaced.  Can’t find any news to explain- with the way this year is going, I worry he got hurt.

 

in Nashville, Middendorf gave up double then single, now 3-2 game.

You can on MILB.com TV account. It costs. I didn’t sign up this year. I do ”watch” the Gameday play by play box scores. That’s free though on Milb.com scoreboards.

Others her must watch thru Milb.com, or some through local/team sites.  Some on free online periodically.

Wisconsin has a YouTube page to watch game recaps which are good.

[biedergb]

Yeah Gardner gave up hits to start the 8th, and tried to dance around, but a wild pitch moved them and a 2 out single got 2 runs across.  
‘Top 9 with a 5 run deficit.  Time for the bats to really break out

[duewizard]

2-on 2-out for Boeve in the top of the 9th...

AND HITS A 3-RUN BOMB

You can watch MiLB games through an MLB At Bat subscription. It's $29.99 for the season or $3.99 a month.

What a time for your first AA HR!

[duewizard]

Martínez flies out to RF and that is game. Biloxi loses 8-6.

[biedergb]

Rally falls short. 8-6 Biloxi loses. 12 H. Boeve’s first AA HR. That’s two positives.

[biedergb]

Back in Nashville.  Y. Hernandez doubles to score Kahle.  Sounds get a run back, now up 4-2

[biedergb]

Hicklen score Hernandez. 5-2 Sounds heading to the top of 8.

[biedergb]

Now Holub strikes out the side - Holliday, Norby, Mayo 😳😳😳

Middendorf and Holub with nice innings against essentially MLB caliber hitters there.

[biedergb]

Rob Z on to close it out for Nashville. Still 5-2

and scoreless in game7 after 2 in Boston vs Toronto — for hockey fans. 

[biedergb]

And fly out, strike out, and strike out.  A W in Nashville.

Solid pitching.  18 K, with only 2BB and 3 H. 
kahle, miller and Hernandez led with 2 H apiece.

What a beast, how many more weeks like this until he forces his way to AAA 4ish 100 more ab's? I know he doesn't have 100 ab's yet this year and has already moved but wow-ee. 

[biedergb]

Boeves homer

 

 

[Joseph Zarr]

Special Shout Out:

To one RHP Blake Holub for righting his leaky vessell and pitching his best 1 2/3rd innings as a 2024 Sound. Just went back and watched his work. By FAR and away his best bullpen stint of the season. Finally managed to harness his relatively violent motion into impactful movement near the zone.

I am very happy to say 'Really good stuff!':

 

[biedergb]

Any word on Carlos D Rodriguez exit from the game tonight??
