The lineup is for Game 1 in Kinston with newly added Victor Torres from ACL in the 9th spot at DH. The first pitch is in less than 35 min on MILB Gameday! 

I will be doing PxP for myself unless y'all want a Zoom, Google Meet...

Nah. I'm simply going by the Game Feed. Claimed a HR to RF. Could be a bunch of nonsense. BUT, I'm telling this story regardless.

I am watching it too, I wish the Mudcats could have just sent Chris Edwards down there......

[MudcatsfaninBrunsCO]

I have been meaning to put this in here, This vid is of Chris Hooks, A broadcaster for ACC Network and backup for NC State Baseball. Tell me if you think this guy needs to be in Zebulon!!!

LOVE me some Walling. Work to do in recognizing and learning how to sit on off-speed pitches. But he has a very fluid swing and is quite smooth and methodically athletic (if that makes sense). Easy player to root for. @wiguy94 and I were keenly aware of his late summer hot streak to close the 2023 ACL campaign. He was popping in those Game Logs and Box Scores for weeks if not over a month.

I mean it's fine. Passionate, obviously. I'm not going to judge a guy on a single 'walk-off' call. Love the enthusiasm tho. Really have enjoyed Edwards. Still really miss Greg Young Jr. It's pretty clear Carolina is in 'stay above water' mode in 2024. We haven't had a single Pre-Game Media Notes. We haven't had a post-game article posted direct to their twitter or website in what feels like weeks.

Tyler Black late scratched from the Sounds lineup. I don't believe he's eligible to be recalled until 5/18 so hopefully this isn't something injury related.

Brewer Hicklen was late scratched as well.

Injury delay as Durow had two down and was in a 1-2 count. Hopefully, he's OK! He's been a stalwart in that Mudcats pen. Muddies hold a very precarious 0.5 G lead over Fredericksburg. They need their horses. Still 3-1. Two down. Bottom of the 6th.

Yeah, He can get pretty rowdy. The no Game Notes is not fun at all. I am going to miss Greg for who knows how long. I hope Chris Edwards is on the call Tuesday. I just checked the Mudcats Front Office page and there is nothing):

Whenever I see an injury delay after a foul ball I assume it's from a foul ball off the foot/ankle/knee.

Dunn debuting for the Sounds at 3B. Wiemer in LF (rehabbing, apparently). Interesting. Especially with what @wiguy94shared above.

Yep): Hope his is okay

[wiguy94]

Though this seems to be a lengthy injury delay. This is why having even a radio feed would be nice by Down East doesn't even have that.

[wiguy94]

Could be an ump injury. Foul ball off the ump.

[wiguy94]

Looks like Nicasia got injured in the OF. Hopefully it wasn't a bad wall crash like Mendez in 2022.
