We all about ready for some baseball in a loud, rowdy, and hot Five County!!

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Evan McKendry had a terrific bounce-back outing last time out (5.2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 7 Ks). AAA Nashville will be hoping he delivers again as they seek to forge a 1-1 series tie at Jacksonville. 

[Ro Mueller]

LHP Tate Keuhner has been on a roll for High-A Wisconsin (1.85 ERA in last 34 IP), who need a home win over South Bend to tie their series.

YUCK. And I certainly don't imagine it's going to have a low Relative Humidity. That sounds extremely uncomfortable! Stay hydrated out there!

I've had an absurdly weird start to the summer out here. We had hard frosts (ie 29 F and below) for 3 consecutive nights June 15th-thru-June 18th 😳 50 degree F swings are extremely common in our valley and on my farm. BUT, the low Highs is what has been ridiculously weird this season. We've maybe had 5-6 days in the 80's all year long. Looking like another year where we may have frosts in every month. What a colossal pain. LOL.

Nope! The humidity is about 70%. I am not in Zebulon, I stayed home!! Odd weather out there for you for sure!!

I was shocked they did not move it back to 6:30 or even 7 in this case!!

Let's just get him in the Milwaukee clubhouse sooner than later. He has looked fantastic. Too many skilled OF'ers deserving of PT at the MLB level is a great problem to have.

[Joseph Zarr]

Looks at McKendry's outing...

[Joseph Zarr]

Ummm Wes Clarke - aka 'The Clarke Bar' - just smacked a go-ahead 2-out Grand Salami!!! Boooo Ya!

8-7 Sounds baby.

[Joseph Zarr]

RHP Dikember Sanchez with his best outing as a Mudcat in the Muddies 6-3 loss to Lynchburg.2 2/3 IP. 1 H, 0 BB, 3 K, 0 R. 

You gotta love it. With Durow in a bit of a rough patch this is a great development.

 

[Joseph Zarr]

LHP Tate Kuehner in the midst of another fantastic start. You have to absolutely love what he's been putting out there over the past month. 4 scoreless, 1 H/1 BB/4K innings so far at just 56 pitches. He continues to ascend. I saw this potential from his first outing despite the results - I'm on record stating as such. Love it for him!

Wood just knocked Adams home with a dub after Admiral Adams had walked. 1-0 good guys.

[MudcatsfaninBrunsCO]

Just a weather update here in NC.....

It is 96 with a real feel of 103 in Zebulon..........

 

[Ro Mueller]

While Jake Bauers hits his grand slam, Nashville and Jacksonville enter the 9th inning tied 10-10, with the Sounds having Mitchell, Wiemer and Collins up.

[Ro Mueller]

Jeez. Nashville had 1st and 3rd with nobody out in the top of the 9th inning and didn’t score. Game still 10-10. They’re 4-for-21 with RISP, having stranded 13.

Mitchell was substituted. Not sure if it’s a bubble wrap move.

[Ro Mueller]

 

[MudcatsfaninBrunsCO]

It is 12-10 NASH heading to the Bot 10th in JVille!!

This is unfortunate but not surprising. Been almost two years now since he played in a big league game other than the short stint late last season.

Doh! Aquino and Childers combined to lose the T-Rats lead and ultimately the game. Childers gave up 5 H and 3 ER in the 9th. T-Rats lose 5-4. This immediately after the T-Rats had plated three go-ahead runs in the bottom of the 8th. Yowch!

[Ro Mueller]

Who’s ready for one more nail-biter of a game? AA Biloxi shoots for a 2-0 series lead at home over Pensacola behind RHP Bradley Blalock (4.24 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, 7.2 K/9 in 51 AA IP). SS Eric Brown Jr. has a 7-game hitting streak and 12-game on-base streak, though his OPS in the 12 games is just .698.

RHP Evan McKendry's last two June long relief appearances (6/8 & 6/20):

9 2/3 IP, 5 H, 0 BB, 13 K, 0 R

RHP Evan McKendry's last two Starts (6/14 & 6/26):

8 2/3 IP, 13 H, 6 BB, 7 K, 1 HB, 4 HR, 16 ER

😬

[Joseph Zarr]

Blalock leads the game off with a ten pitch walk. Not what the young hurler is looking for to get things started. Let's hope he picks it up! He walked a lead-off who was 25-of-27 SB on the season. He proceeded to make that 26-of-28. He's now 3-2 on the next batter. Homeplate ump blew strike 3. Gorgeous slider.
