Please check the Mudcats to Wilson thread. Some bittersweet news I just posted.

That Mudcats game last night. Still recovering. It was a back-and-forth crazy fest. LOL. Talk about two teams unwilling to lose.

You may be shocked but I did not watch!

Nah. We all have lives outside of our passions here. I thought the Mudcats were going to rollll. They jumped to that 3-0 lead early. Then Rivero melted down. Threw 33 pitches. Didn't record an out. And they headed to the 2nd frame down 5-3. LOL. I do highly recommend going to the timestamp and watching that late inning play at the plate after Morris Austin launched a pick-off throw to nearly the CF warning track. Yophery is such an incredible hustler when he knows a run is imminent. He just attacks that baseball. I've seen it on several occasions now. He certainly is a rollercoaster at the dish but his effort and will is undeniable. 40 K in 102 officially registered AB's is not a good look for Rodriguez - especially given how pretty his swing is when it is dialed in. Last night, it was the inability to see the pitch and take the swing. he had several pitches to hit in his K's looking. He just never got the bat off his shoulder.

Bayden Root with the errant pickoff.

19-year old RHP Daniel Corniel has been a breakout performer through 4 Low-A starts: 3.06 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 10.2 K/9 in 17.2 IP, just 5 walks. He leads Carolina tonight at Fayetteville (series tied 1-1). SS Cooper Pratt (.728 OPS in 75 PAs) reached base 5 times yesterday. 

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Chad Patrick had a terrific last outing (6.1 IP, 1 ER, 9 Ks) and looks to replicate that performance for the AAA Sounds at Durham (series tied 1-1). SS Yonny Hernandez has an 8-game on-base streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

High-A Wisconsin’s RHP Will Rudy just turned 23 years old and dazzled in his last start: 6 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 5 Ks. The team aims for a 3rd straight win at Quad Cities. CF Luis Lara has a 6-game hitting streak.

[Ro Mueller]

AA Biloxi has LHP Nate Peterson (4.37 ERA, 1.37 ERA, 9.5 K/9 in 22.2 IP) on the hill tonight at home against Montgomery with the series tied 1-1. DH/3B Mike Boeve (1.090 OPS in 127 PAs) has hit safely in 9 of his last 10 games. 

[sveumrules]

Chad Patrick is at it again with 6 IP | 4 H | 1 BB | 5 K and only 1 ER via solo HR.

Sounds scored their only run on a Yonny Hernandez single followed by a pair of Durham errors on batted balls by Owen Miller and Brewer Hicklen.

Tied at one heading to top of seven with Francisco Mejia due up.

[sveumrules]

Carolina leading 2-1 after six with Juan Baez and Miguel Briceno sac flies accounting for the runs.

Daniel Corniel gave up one unearned run over six strong with 4 H | 3 BB | 5 K.

Yophery has also reached all four times  with two walks. a HBP and now a one out single top of seven.

[sveumrules]

Wisco leading 1-0 on Luke Adams third long ball of the year.

Will Rudy has 1 H | 2 BB | 1 K through his first three frames.

[sveumrules]

Speaking of bombs, a Brock Wilken blast gave Biloxi a 2-1 lead bottom of the first.

And just now a two out double from Ethan Murray has pushed the lead to 3-1 bottom of two.

Mudcats ended up getting two more home top of seven with a Cooper Pratt walk, Juan Baez single/error, Luis Castillo walk and Yhoswar Garcia walk rounding out the sequence.

Those insurance runs might prove valuable as Jeferson Figueroa has given up a solo shot and walk after retiring his first batter faced here bottom of seven.

[sveumrules]

Nashville holds on for a 3-2 win in ten innings.

Ryan Middendorf (2 H | 1 K), Corbin Martin (2 BB | 1 K) and Darrell Thompson (1 BB) each threw a clean frame to get things to extras.

Sounds got two top of ten with a Noah Campbell walk, Chavez Young sac bunt, Nick Kahle single and Tyler Black single.

Nolan Blackwood gave up a pair of singles to make things 3-2 in the bottom half before going line out, wild pitch, K, IBB, K to seal the victory for Nashville.

[sveumrules]

Carolina poured it on late prevailing 11-2.

Lotsa standouts with Daniel Guilarte (1-5, 2B, BB), Yophery (1-2, BBx3, HBP), Cooper Pratt (1-4, BBx2), Juan Baez (1-4, SF), Luis Castillo (1-3, BBx2), Blayberg Diaz (2-4, 2B, BB) and Miguel Briceno (1-4, HR, SF, SB) leading the way.

[sveumrules]

Mike Boeve single, Wes Clarke single, Darrien Miller walk, Ernesto Martinez Jr. double, Zavier Warren double, Ethan Murray single was how Biloxi got five more runs bottom of three.

Nate Peterson worked around a bunch of traffic finishing with 5 IP | 1 ER | 5 H | 4 BB | 5 K.

Nick Merkel pitched a scoreless sixth but has run into trouble here in the seventh going walk, double, double, single, double.

Currently 8-4 with runners on 2nd/3rd and no outs as Russell Smith comes on to try and stop the bleeding.

So far so good for Henderson’s rehab start.

 Two innings, five Ks.

And that was after sitting through the top of the first when the AZ Crew busted out for six runs capped off by a Gery Holguin grand slam.

Two consecutive games the Shuckers bullpen has given up a seven-run inning? Yikes. At least they were leading 8-1 at the time. They sneak across a run in the bottom of the 9th and with 9-8. Rough stretch for that Pen.

[sveumrules]

Eric Bitonti went deep in the 4th inning with Luiyin Alastre on base to push the AZ Crew’s tally to eight.

And they might need them all as Caden Vire surrendered seven earned over 1.2 IP.

Reliever Samuel Valerio has recorded all four of his outs via K with a wild pitch and walk mixed in before giving way to Melvin Hernandez (still 17 for two more months) who went 1-2-3 in his stateside debut.
