Big congrats are due for RHP Enoli Paredes:

 

Let's hope he runs with this opportunity and help solidify that greater Brewers bullpen depth. We all know another Sounds OF'er is quite deserving of a 40-Man opportunity as well. Let's hope our favorite 'Brewer' gets his chance to shine as well!

[Ro Mueller]

The Low-A Mudcats trail 2-1 in their home series against Myrtle Beach and have 18-year old RHP Josh Knoth (4.50 ERA with 26 Ks in 22 IP) toeing the rubber tonight. Speedy left fielder Yhoswar Garcia has 5 hits over his last 2 games, but (gasp!) no stolen bases in the last 12 days. 

[Ro Mueller]

Wisconsin’s also behind 2-1 in their road series at South Bend, but welcomes 22-year old RHP Logan Henderson (2.75 ERA with 106 Ks in 78.2 IP in Low-A last year) for his much-awaited High-A debut tonight. SS Gregory Barrios continues to leads the Midwest League in doubles (13 in 37 games), despite having only one extra-base hit in his last 11 games. 

[Ro Mueller]

AA Biloxi has dropped 3 in row at home against a tough Birmingham squad, but has the Matchup of the Evening, with 22-year RHP Jacob Misiorowski (2.32 ERA) ready to dual 23-year old Drew Thorpe (1.50 ERA). 1B Ernesto Martinez’s hitting streak is up to 9 games.

[Ro Mueller]

The AAA Sounds can clinch a home series win over Charlotte tonight, led by RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez (2.65 ERA with 21 Ks in his last 17 IP) and yesterday’s 2-homer man, RF Brewer Hicklen. 

[Ro Mueller]

Eesh. Josh Knoth gave up a double, triple and homer in the first 2 innings. Thankfully Carolina only trails 2-1 thus far. Yophery Rodriguez has 2 singles. C’mon men!

[Ro Mueller]

Wisconsin gets 3 consecutive singles in the 1st inning (Areinamo, O’Rae, Adams), but fails to score due to another out on the basepaths (this time Areinamo trying to get a double).

Logan Henderson works around a 2-out, 9th pitch double for a scoreless 1st inning in High-A ball. Go Wisconsin!

[duewizard]

Anyone with a clue of when Biloxi will fix their centerfield camera? 

[Ro Mueller]

The Mudcats grab their first lead as 6 straight hitters reach base with 2 outs in the 3rd inning, including 2 HBPs, a bases clearing single (thanks for the error) and Luis Castillo’s 2-run homer.

Just like that, it’s 7-2 Mudcats!

Even more important given the Fred Nats trail 4-0 in the 3rd. Gotta take this one and hope that score holds so we can get our deficit back to a 1.0 GB.

[Ro Mueller]

Knoth concluded his 4 innings of work by striking out the last 4 hitters he faced. Yophery has 3 singles through 4 innings. Mudcats atop 8-2.

[Ro Mueller]

Logan Henderson retired 7 of the 10 batters he faced, exiting after issuing a walk with 2 outs in the 3rd inning.

The Cubbies said “thank you” for leaving and promptly scored 5 runs off Tyler Wehrle - one charged to Henderson’s line, since baseball can be cruel that way.

T-Rats trail 5-0 thru 3 innings..

[Ro Mueller]

Jacob Misiorowski worked around a double and single in the 1st inning, but 3 singles and 2 walks in the 2nd frame have Biloxi in an early 2-0 hole. Ugh.

Hmmm. Maybe the Shuckers are more of a 2nd half team this year. Well, even that may depend on Blalock, Misio and Shook staying in AA, which might be unfair to them.

[Ro Mueller]

Egad! Nashville trails Charlotte 2-0 in the 3rd inning. We stranded 4 baserunners in the first 2 innings, while CF-Rod retired 6 straight, only for Charlotte’s 7 and 8 hitters to go single, 2-run jack.

Sorry, CF-Rod - there are no easy hitters. Let’s go Sounds!

[Ro Mueller]

An unthinkable 10 of 17 batters have reached base against Misiorowski: 6 singles, 2 doubles, 2 walks. He’s trying to escape the 3rd inning.

Darrien Miller threw out his 2nd baserunner of the inning to help Misio and Biloxi escape, somehow still only trailing 2-0 in the 3rd inning.

Hey, we got a hit off of Drew Thorpe. It was an infield single to the pitcher by CD-Rod, but we’ll take it.

[Joseph Zarr]

Mudcats now lead 11-2 while the Fred Nats trail 6-0.

Let's GO!

As a point of following the Mudcats quest for a second consecutive Playoff berth:

Upcoming series vs last place Delmarva, then @ Charleston ( tied with this Myrtle Beach team at 5 games under .500), then a HUGE Home series vs the Fred Nats before finishing the first half @ Columbia with the 2 Makeup games in an 8-game series.

 

[biedergb]

Misio- went 4+ innings - one bad inning. But gave up tons of hits. Although, maybe he will see the value of fewer pitches to go deeper.  You give a bunch of hits and only give up a couple of runs. Worth the trade off of maybe going 6+ innings.

Final now 12-4. Yophery with 3 hits. The team only had 9 hits, and only had 6 walks, but Myrtle Beach committed 5 errors 

[biedergb]

Wisconsin bows out. 6-1 with only 6 hits (2 by ORae and Areinamo) and no XBH, but 2.2 IP by a rehabbing Henderson is a good thing. 

[biedergb]

Nashville wins it. CF Rodriguez just couldn’t get out former MLB J Walsh, who homered twice - 2run and solo

Otherwise 6 IP and just those 3 runs off Walsh’s bat. 8K and 1Bb, 93 pitches. Zamora with 2 hits, Dunn and Collin’s with a hit and a walk apiece.

 

[biedergb]

Shuckers going to final inning. Only 4 meager hits. OK stats by Miz, but the bullpen gave up hits with some errors and now it is 7-1 Birmingham. Their offensive struggles are becoming offensive. Boeve has cooled. Wilken with a few XBH but little else recently. EBJ has gotten some hits to raise his average closer to .200. But boy it’s been tough to follow (or watch).

[Joseph Zarr]

How about the Sounds coming back to win 4-3? Gotta love it!
