Here's the link to the Major League Forum thread where this is being discussed -

So while this topic will impact Link Reports and other Minor League threads throughout the season, for now, please direct your comments to the linked thread above, rather than this forum.

[Jim Goulart]

Just a moderator note, as seen on the Major League Forum --

For now, for archival reaction to this trade, we have directed visitors of the Minor League Forum to the Major League Forum thread to discuss all aspects of the Priester - Yophery deal. So don't be surprised if some posts appear discussing impact on the Timber Rattlers or overall minor league outfield depth. Within a day or so (by the time Wednesday AM's Link Report rolls out), the minor league aspects and implications will have made their way more fully to the Minor League Forum.

Thanks for reading!

Mudcats in Myrtle Beach this week! 

 

[wibadgers23]

Hopefully we see Made back tonight!

[Joseph Zarr]

I get to watch Tyler Rodriguez play full-season baseball. Baseball gods be good. Nicasia to the T-Rats? My clubhouse is rocking!

[CheeseheadInQC]

Looks like from the matchups the rest of the week and who hasn’t pitched, the remaining Carolina tandems for the next two days are likely Hernandez/Rivera and Torres/Holobetz.

Lemme tell you of the many ways I have daydreamed of the Torres/Holobetz duo. Lemmmmmmme tell ya, my Quad Cities Bandit!

Nicasia to Trats! Yay!

Wisconsin (1-2) plays 6 games at Royals’ affiliate Quad Cities (3-0) this week, with 23-year old RHP Tyson Hardin (2024 12th round pick) making his High-A debut in Game One. 

[Joseph Zarr]

There's a lot of Hot/Cold rally kill strikeout potential in that 5-through-9 of the T-Rats current order. They're going to need to hope to see disciplined AB's from that group. Hopefully, Tayden Hall can continue his solid start and help that group so prone to the boom/bust tendencies at the dish.

[Ro Mueller]

AA Biloxi’s home opener pits them against the Columbus Clingstones (Braves’ affiliate - from Georgia). 26–year old RHP Abdiel Mendoza makes his organizational debut, as both clubs seek their first 2025 victory. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Ohhhhhh RHP Tobias Myers Rehab outing tonight. Big Deal for the Big Club. Fingers crossed we see a healthy outing.

[Ro Mueller]

Rehabbing RHP Tobias Myers gets the home series-opening start for AAA Nashville (3-5) against Memphis (5-2). 3B Caleb Durbin has a 5-game hitting streak. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Speaking of which. These moves are relevant:

 

[Ro Mueller]

Low-A Carolina (3-0) hits the road for 6 games against Cubs’ affiliate Myrtle Beach (3-0). 18-year old RHP Melvin Hernandez gets his first 2025 start. 2B Josh Adamczewski, SS Luis Pena and CF Braylon Payne have hit safely in all 3 games. 

[Joseph Zarr]

The Made 'Ankle Gate' continues into the second week. Sigh.

As we know, still plenty of top tier young gun action atop that line-up.

[Jim Goulart]

Lest anyone tied to the Minor League Forum has lost sight of the Major League entries tonight, feel free to catch up on the Shane Smith thread.

If you comment, please do so there.

We return to your regularly scheduled Sounds - Shuckers - Timber Rattlers - Mudcats coverage.

Was bummed about Sam Weiderhaft leaving MB's broadcast but Luke Mohlie is great on the pregame show for Myrtle!

[Joseph Zarr]

Adamczewski just missed a first AB oppo (lefty on lefty) XBH by a matter of feet as his deep fly went just foul off the wall. AND, now the video feed cut out in his AB. Lovely.

[Joseph Zarr]

AND, no worries I was able to quickly scan over and see Wilken and Pratt nearly collide in shallow LF for a routine pop up and Pratt called it off, stumbled, and dropped the catch. Meanwhile, the Biloxi CF camera is leaning on a nice awkward angle for a slanted view of homeplate and the mound. Mendoza follows the Pratt error by beaning the next batter on the first pitch.

This is absolutely Shuckers baseball in a nutshell. So much pain.

[Joseph Zarr]

I mean you tell me that is a natural angle for a camera view? Is that not wildly tilted?! It is literally always something in Biloxi.

[Joseph Zarr]

So, we miss the Muddies putting up two quick runs. Adamczewski singled Pena to 3B. Bitonti singled him home. Di Turi ground out scores Josh. 2-0 Muddies. Nadal pops out as his early season struggles continue.

[Joseph Zarr]

We are in the bottom of the first frame, 2-0 Muddies and we still have no video feed in Myrtle Beach after it cut out during Adamczewski's AB. Talk about a Monday Report night, baby. 

[Joseph Zarr]

First runner aboard on a recorded SS Luis Pena throwing error.
