Tue. 8/20 - DSL Season Ends; Nashville and Carolina Home, Others Hit the Road

[Joseph Zarr]

Good god, Great Lakes. What in the heck is this?!?

[Joseph Zarr]

Corniel buckles down with a 13 pitch 2nd frame. 2 K's (4 K through 2 IP - off-speed on outer black vs a righty-heavy line-up is the difference). A CS by Diaz in there. Let's get those bats humming!

[Joseph Zarr]

Dinges swings very hard.I was unaware (tho, I was aware) how small he actually is.

[Joseph Zarr]

Marco Dinges will go down as a first AB 110 mph ripped line drive single past the diving 1B to begin his Brewers career. Really nice piece of hitting. 

Di Turi follow with an infield single past a diving 3B - SS rushed the throw and it went to the dugout rails and Dinges advanced to 3B. Men on corners. Nobody out. Castillo to the dish.

[Joseph Zarr]

Castillo swings and misses on consecutive high inside heaters - both clearly balls. Undisciplined approach. First out is a K. Can Guilarte do differently?

[Joseph Zarr]

Guilarte rips a 1-2 oppo single into RF. Nice poke. 2-1 Mudcats trail. Runners on 1st and 2nd. One down for Briceno. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Briceno comes through in a big way with an oppo line drive double deep into the RF corner. Carolina suddenly leads 3-2 on their fourth hit of the frame. Briceno continues to come through. That's his 12th double of his season.

[Joseph Zarr]

Cooper Pratt tried a surprise first AB bunt to the 3B side. It did not go well. Would very much like to see Cooper not to that. 😅

[Joseph Zarr]

Eduardo Garcia extends his hitting streak to six games by smacking an off-speed outer black pitch down the 3B line for a first AB double. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Matt Wood works the count full and walks. Areinamo pokes a single through the right-side of the infield scoring Garcia. 1-0 T-Rats in the top of the first. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Corniel has really buckled down through 4 IP - pitch count at 71 despite his 31 pitch first frame. Hasn't allowed a single run since the two in the first frame. Just worked around a one out single and WP to get a ground out to 2B and a pop up to SS. Mudcats to the dish. They lead 3-2.

[Joseph Zarr]

Pratt just ripped a come backer that may have hit the Loons' starting pitcher in the face. Oh man. That ball was roped. Yikes.

[Joseph Zarr]

T-Rats have runners on 1st and 2nd and we are going to an extended Timeout here. That was a scary moment. Let's hope he's ok!

Meanwhile, in Nashville Patrick has runners on first and 2nd with 1 down (swinging foul tip K). He has his fourth batter in a 2-2 count. Pitch count at 20.

[Joseph Zarr]

AND, for the second consecutive outing he's allowed runs in the first inning. That batter rips a 2-2 oppo single into RF. 1-0 Jump Shrimp. Men on 1st and 2nd. Still one down. This is two consecutive outings with an elevated pitch count in the first frame and the opponent putting multiple runners aboard. Let's hope he can limit the damage.

[Joseph Zarr]

Patrick does indeed limit the damage. K looking. Fly out to LF. On to the Sounds' half.

Are you watching? For some reason it's not showing an available feed for me.

[Joseph Zarr]

LHP Anthony Flores has such a nice bender. He can absolutely paint that inner corner with such beauty to lefty bats. That's 3 consecutive K's as he grabs the first out in his second inning of work. His off-speed stuff is really filthy. I would love to see him develop a cutter.

I am watching, yes. THO, they are in a prolonged timeout after their starter took that line drive off his face. That was a scary moment. Since they cut away, they've been in a prolonged commercial loop.

[Joseph Zarr]

Flores has 4 K through 2 IP in two consecutive 3-up, 3-down frames. He has these Augusta batters all sorts of off-balance.

Weird. I don't know why the feed isn't showing up for me. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Castillo two run bomb over the RF wall. 5-2 Cats. Let's go!

I think we have a really scary injury going on, friend. That game is still in a commercial loop. He got absolutely rocked by that liner. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Wisconsin's feed is now back. New pitcher. Let's hope that young man is OK.

No I'm saying it's not even showing up on MiLB TV as an option to watch not that the feed is blank.
