Thurs. 4/10 - Opening Night Starters Cycle Back (All Evening Action)

[MudcatsfaninBrunsCO]

Mudcats fall for the first time in the 2025 season 6-2. Record goes to 5-1

[sveumrules]

Hey now, Luis Lara walked, went to third on a pair of ground outs and just scored on a Luke Adams single to put Biloxi on the board.

[CheeseheadInQC]

Nothing to do with the game, but you know you’re a Brewer fan if the seventh inning stretch feels incomplete without Roll Out the Barrel.

Miz with a bounceback inning. He gives up a walk, but I like it. He had 2 balls called balls that were borderline and one was ball 3 which could have been strike 3. Miz looked at home like what's up and then focused and got two outs. That is what I like to see. His command is pretty good tonight, he has not had a ton of non-competitive pitches, just let 2 batters in the 3rd draw walks - but also a lot of fouled off pitches. The hit he allowed would have been an out if EMJ was playing 3rd instead of Durbin ;)

Miz is out for the 5th.

[sveumrules]

Manny Rodriguez gave up a solo shot in the sixth but a Jadher Areinamo triple and Blake Burke sac fly have tied it up in the eighth.

Extra innings for @CheeseheadInQC ??

[biedergb]

And miz got 2 outs. looked good. Durbin with a very nice play at 3rd - don't think EMJ makes that play ;)

And next batter down to 2 strikes and pokes one between 2nd and 1st base.
Bullpen getting close as Miz is over 80 pitches. 2 balls but Seigeler gets the caught stealing, and Miz gets through 5 IP with 86 pitches. So 31 in the 3rd alone, but only 55 in the other 4 innings combined (14 per inning not bad)

[biedergb]

Manny Rodriguez with 5.2 IP and 80 pitches. He is efficient and gets through innings - he was an innings eater last year. If only, if only his fastball can get up to 91-94 mph range I can dream on a stud starter. But 88-90 is not going to cut it long term, but he is a special pitcher and I think his command and spin will allow him to move up despite the lack of velo.

[sveumrules]

Zavier Warren double and a Bladimir Restituyo single scored the second Shuckers run, now trailing 4-2 bottom of seven.

With as chilly as it is, I don’t think either team wants that

Looks like QC was definitely hacking on Bayden Root - four up, four strikeouts swinging.

[CheeseheadInQC]

They also got the good Yerlin so far, a big change from the time I saw him pitch last year.

[biedergb]

Yerlin is in now - a nice strike out

Then a grounder and a very nice play by Arienamo - always good defensively.

And he then gets Werner (the guy with the big HR). Strike out on a nice breaking ball

 

ANd Holub in for Nashville and a walk and a double. 2-2 game

[biedergb]

Not great inning by Holub - as a wild pitch moves the runner to 3rd, then allows a free pass. Runners at the corners and no outs.

[biedergb]

Big DP by Holub. They concede the run but get two. And then he gets the last out. Unfortunately he gave up 2 runs total and the lead.

[sveumrules]

Wilken and Adams walk to lead off the Biloxi eighth trying to kick start a comeback.

[biedergb]

Yerlin in some trouble early with a double on the next batter. But also getting squeezed a little. 8 pitches and a huge huge K on the curveball. 2 out. 

[CheeseheadInQC]

Areinamo has had three absolutely amazing plays, including a game-saving stab right now

[biedergb]

Looks like extras in Quad City after all. nice play by Areinamo. He can play defensive in case you were not aware of that. Just timed that jump perfectly

[biedergb]

Baez with his second hit tonight and an error by the LF and TRats grab the lead as the ghost runner scores 4-3 TRats and still top of the order.

K, fly out, fly out = no runs.

[biedergb]

Areinamo with a grounder to 3rd that moves Baez to 3rd base. The ump squeezing the QC pitcher on the first pitch, burke now ahead in the count 3-0 and a walk, and Burke on base. But now the DP is in order. And countering that future MLB manager of the year Estevez puts in the pinch runner for Burke.

[biedergb]

Easton McGee on in Nashville and gets a quick out. Then a grounder to Monasterio in the hole who can't get the throw over in time despite a classic EMJ splits. And then McGee walks the next batter....

 

Meanwhile in QC, a double down the 3rd base line and one run in and Guilarte tries to make it home and is just thrown out at the plate, but Garcia moves to 3rd base. 2 outs. 2 run lead, and Wood up

[CheeseheadInQC]

Wow, Nicasia with a grand slam.

[sveumrules]

Kay Lan Grand Slam !!

[biedergb]

Kay Lan!!!!

Grand slam in Quad Cities

A quad run hit ;)
