Tue. 9/17 - T-Rats Hope to pop Champagne; Shuckers Open Best-of-Three Semifinal at Home

[Joseph Zarr]

Pratt absolutely blasts a ball to straightaway CF. Heck of a skyscraping play to stab that ball at the right CF dead center fence. Heck of a grab. 

[wiguy94]

Pratt hits a blast to deep center field and the Lake County CF makes a jumping catch at the wall. Wasn't going to be a HR, but that's likely a triple if he doesn't make that grab.

[Joseph Zarr]

That ball was hit 400 feet. CF just made an incredible play. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Adams leans into another one. LOL. 42nd plunk on the season. Amazing. 

[wiguy94]

As we have gotten deeper into this game, I have to say the more frustrated I've gotten with the quality of the Lake County broadcast in comparison to the Wisconsin broadcast which is one of the best in all of the minors. The CF camera angle is really low. The score bug is too big and disrupts the view a bit. The camera quality isn't great. They don't show the at bat count, velo, pitch count, pitcher/hitter names.

[Joseph Zarr]

Adams quickly swipes 2nd. That's now 5 SB in the series. The man is getting on base and causing problems. You have to love it. 

Areinamo flies out to deep RF. Adams successfully tags. AND, Yophery up for his 2nd AB. Gotta have a better AB. This is such a crucial spot in the order. Let's see some better swing choices.

[Joseph Zarr]

Much better approach in Yophery's second AB. Much better. Love it. 2-0 he gets ahead.

[Joseph Zarr]

Lays off a high heater and works it 3-0. This is just such a better approach. Gotta love it.

And I'm getting repetitive ads that are way louder than the PBP audio.

[Joseph Zarr]

AND he gets the RBI poke single liner past a lunging infielder into shallow CF. THAT was an incredible AB. 2-1 T-Rats.

[wiguy94]

YOPHERY! Much better AB from him and he lines a single through the IF for an RBI to make the score 2-1.

I've had it on mute all game, so I haven't noticed that. Just really low quality stuff.

[Joseph Zarr]

Rodriguez and Garcia have to settle down their approach. Both young men are swinging aggressively outside the zone. Rodriguez pops up to shallow RF to end the frame. 

[wiguy94]

I think Estevez needs to have a reliever up for Bazzana if he comes up this inning. Cornielle should not see the order a 3rd time.

[Joseph Zarr]

2 1/3 IP for Cornielle. He's thrown 64 pitches. Bullpen has to be up. Man on first. Hard hit liner out to LF. He is laboring through nearly every AB. Current batter has fouled off several in a row. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Ninth pitch of this AB. 10 on the way. Pitch count will hit 68. 

[Joseph Zarr]

He gets the swing and the miss for Cornielle's second K. A 10-pitch K. Whewwwww.  Two down.

[Joseph Zarr]

Runner swipes 2B. Runner now in scoring position. Runner beat the throw by a step regardless of the ball popping out on the slide. A ND on the next pich, Cornielle hangs another off-speed dead center for a two run jack over the RF wall.

PLEASE get him the heck out of here. He's been brutal all game. 106 mph launch. 

[wiguy94]

Cornielle gives up a 2-run bomb to LF off what looked to be a hanging breaking ball. 3-2 Lake County.

LF huh? Interesting take. 🤭

[Joseph Zarr]

We're delayed at Biloxi in their divisional Game 1.

Oh man I wish I could say I did that intentionally to poke fun at you but it was just me somehow getting the LHH mixed up in my head with RF for LF.

[Joseph Zarr]

And, the In-Laws just pulled up. LOL. Amazing. Time to put this game on pause and return when I can. Take it home, gents!

[wiguy94]

Eduardo Garcia strike out on 3 pitches. Wilkinson has made him look very bad in his 2 strikeouts.

Garcia swings and misses with the best of them. Just a very undisciplined hitter.
