I'm telling you prospect 'experts' really don't know what they're talking about a lot of the time when it comes to the Brewers prospects. I find this year-in and year-out. Dykstra just undersold Areinamo's defense again in the T-Rats pod today. AND, I overwhelmingly hear Blake Burke can't play defense. Hogwash. That man has hands. He's made tow very good plays in four games I was told he shouldn't be able to make. He's a much better and more nimble athlete at first base than given credit for. This much is clear early. 

I've got Nash and Trats now

[Joseph Zarr]

AND, I swear to you, just as I typed that Burke picks off a liner toward 1B and doubles off the runner off 1B. I'm just saying: this young man is more than a power bat. It's abundantly obvious. He is very clearly a baseball player.

@MudcatsfaninBrunsCO: Feel free to post those Mudcats updates as they roll in. I'm going to focus in on the games I can watch. Any and all updates are appreciated so have at it if you feel so inclined!

Should also be noted that this single A Cubs team that Carolina is playing has one player born in 2005 on the entire roster.

Carolina has 10. Along with 6 in 2006, and Made in 2007.

Will do, I'm disappointed over here in NC. The TV app says "no feed available " now

[Joseph Zarr]

I'm loathe to speak so soon, but I do tend to be out in front of these things as a general rule on our board:

I think we may absolutely have a diamond in the rough in Mendoza. He has tools to work with here that if harnessed and evolved could really turn into something. I see the vision. Really nice off-speed stuff to work off his sinker. Where I'm not quite sold in this early early outing and first time seeing him is the four-seamer. That's where the work seems to need to be picked up. He has 6 K through 2 1/3 IP. And these are swings and misses, folks.

[Joseph Zarr]

Oliva with a gorgeous charging diving catch to get Tobes his first out on a bloop top of 2. Tobes K's the next batter up and just off the corner of the zone. Two down.

[Joseph Zarr]

Goodness it's nice to see a smiling Tobias Myers. Like a salve on my wounds of the past month. Need more medicine! LOL.

Looks like BRef has the Cubs hitters as the 2nd oldest (21.3 avg age) in the Carolina League and the Brewers hitters as the 2nd youngest (19.8 avg age).

RHP Tyson Hardin looks filthy in Year 2. My goodness. He is flashing some filth in this Quad Cities outing.

[MudcatsfaninBrunsCO]

Josh Adamczewski singles on a sharp ground ball to right fielder Alexey Lumpuy. Luiyin Alastre scores. Braylon Payne scores. Luis Peña to 3rd. Josh Adamczewski to 2nd.

 

6-0 Muddies, top 4, 1 out

[Joseph Zarr]

What do I mean? Watch his first AB in the bottom of the 2nd inning. 

I just watched Luke Adams strike out and I'm unsure if he took his bat off his shoulders. A classic Luke Adams AB. 😅

[Joseph Zarr]

Jared Oliva with a glorious diving catch earlier. How about a two-run jack over the LF wall for homers in back-to-back games!? 2-0 Sounds baby.

I doubt anyone has pitchers as young as ours. Think every game has been started by teenagers so far.

[MudcatsfaninBrunsCO]

Eric Bitonti singles on a sharp line drive to right fielder Alexey Lumpuy. Luis Peña scores. Josh Adamczewski scores.

 

8-0 Mudcats, Top 4, 1 out, Pitching change for MB

 

[Jastro]

EBJ 2rbi single through the left side. 101 off the bat

[Joseph Zarr]

EBJ with his second RISP opportunity of his night. He lined out to 2B earlier. He swings and misses on two early sliders. Massive hacks. Works the count 2-2. Rips a gorgeous RBI single into LF through the 3B/SS gap. 3-0 Shuckers. Atta boy!!

Areinamo just hit a screaming double to the RF wall. That ball was absolutely ripped. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Clarke just ripped a double down the RF wall. Now we have men on the corners (missed what happened there). Spain goes down looking. Two down. 2-0 Sounds.

[Joseph Zarr]

Matt Wood follows suit and crushes a ball off the RF wall and it's 1-0 T-Rats baby!

[Joseph Zarr]

MoAR OfFense!!! Mahahahahahahahah
