Tue. 9/10 - Playoffs?! Best-of-3 Semifinal Series Commence for T-Rats, Mudcats

[Joseph Zarr]

Regardless of how Guilarte's AB ends up here: I LOVE his confidence right now. He is feeling it.

[Joseph Zarr]

That's my guy! He ties it baby! SIngle to LF. Absolute rocket liner. THAT is the Guilarte I've come to love over the past month. 3-3 game baby!

[Joseph Zarr]

103 mph dart to the LF grass. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Yhoswar to the dish. Bringing that vintage Yhoswar fire. He rips it down the 3B line on the second pitch. Runners at 2nd and 3rd. 4-3 MUDCATS BABY!!!!

LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!!!

[brooks_quichenick]

Couple of nasty sliders from Cornielle to get out of the jam in the 3rd. Got the left-handed batter flailing over the top of the ball on the inner half twice.

[Joseph Zarr]

Pitch count at 64 for Clemmey. 9th batter faced here in his 4th frame. Yophery to the dish. 

[Joseph Zarr]

YOPHERY!!!!

[Joseph Zarr]

Works the count 2-2. Bloops another oppo single to shallow LF. 6-3 Mudcats BABY!!!!

[Joseph Zarr]

Muddies drove Clemmey in the 4th. You. Have. To. LOVE. IT!

I very much appreciate the Nats leaving Clemmey in that long! 

[biedergb]

That’s a good inning. Baez up again against a new pitcher. Woo hoo hoo.

Man, those were sweet pokes. Every one of those was a beautiful piece of hitting. Guilarte and Yophery's AB's were so choice. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Baez grounds into a force out at 3B. On to the bottom half. Let's see if Corniel comes back aboard or Stanley dips into his relief corps. Gotta think he'll stay with Corniel and give him the opportunity to pitch one more.

Meanwhile zeros still in Quad Cities. 
‘And Nashville scores a run down 5-1.

More importantly, how do the Sounds score?

[Joseph Zarr]

My guy Navs. Cap'n Clutch. Like I say. Don't pay attention to the peripherals. He hits when it matters.

[Joseph Zarr]

Corniel starts his 4th K'ng the lead-off on a gorgeous heater on the outer black. Swinging K. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Cornielle with another free pass in the 4th. One down. Man on. That's three walks I've noticed on my second screen. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Corniel gets the ground out to 1B for the 2nd out. Nice smooth gather and step on the bag by Bitonti. 

[Joseph Zarr]

What. An. Inning. From Corniel. Your offense pumps out a six-run game-taking lead in the top half. You K 2 swinging and get a ground out to 1B? Heck yes, young man! LOVE it! Lift your team up baby!

[biedergb]

What an inning by D. Corniel- given a lead with a long half inning. Comes back and quickly mows them down, K, 3 unassisted, K.

Will he go out for the 5th at 71 pitches?

[biedergb]

lol. Almost exact posts Joseph.

[biedergb]

The other Cornielle gets out of inning after the free pass. Stil zeros in the R column there.

[Joseph Zarr]

Cornielle works around the walk, SB (and throwing error to put the runner at 3B) and gets the lazy pop out behind home plate. Four scoreless for Cornielle.

JADHER AREINAMO BOMB!
