After a brief first start on Sunday, RHP KC Hunt basically gets a second chance tonight, presumably bumping Nate Peterson to relief or a weekend start. 

 

[Ro Mueller]

The High-A Timber Rattlers seek a 3-1 series lead at Quad Cities, with exciting 20-year old RHP Bishop Letson (3.1 IP, 2 R , 1 H, 2 BB, 4 Ks last week) making his 2nd start of 2025. DH Tayden Hall (.856 OPS) gets a shot atop the lineup.

I'm attending some local D1 baseball tonight so won't be on the board. @Joseph Zarr, you better keep peeps up on the Muddies!

If anyone was wondering the D1 team, It's the NC State Wolfpack aka the #Pack9

[Ro Mueller]

AA Biloxi goes with RHP KC Hunt (faced just 6 batters last week) as today’s starter as they try to even their home series against Columbus. Eric Brown Jr. makes his first career MILB outfield appearance. 

[Ro Mueller]

SS Jesus Made returns to the field (DH’d yesterday) and 19-year old RHP Bryce Meccage (3.2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 2 Ks) makes his 2nd career start, as the Low-A Mudcats shoot for a 3-1 series lead at Myrtle Beach.  

[Ro Mueller]

28-year old RF Daz Cameron (acquired for Grant Wolfram) makes his Brewers’ organizational debut for AAA Nashville, who leads their home series over Memphis 2 games to 1. RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez (9 IP, 1 ER, 11 Ks) makes his 3rd start of the year.

Have to imagine that’s a typo on the graphic with Lara at SS (& Adams at 2B too)

You’re right! 

[biedergb]

And Carlos Rodriguez ask-how about that for the start of the game. 6 up, 6 down.  6 K 😳

[Ro Mueller]

 

[biedergb]

And KC Hunt who threw how many pitches last weekend? (30-40 in the first inning before being pulled)

44 pitches of 3 shutout innings, 2H, 1BB, 3 K

[CheeseheadInQC]

Cameron is off to quite the start in Nashville.

[Ro Mueller]

3 pitches into Daz Cameron’s first plate appearance as a AAA Sound, he goes oppo taco for a 1-0 lead. The team added 2 more runs in the 1st inning. 

 

[Ro Mueller]

I can’t keep up. 2 PAs, 2 HRs for Cameron. 4-0 Sounds thru 2 innings;

And in Myrtle Beach-Dinges with a solid double to score Made

A Dinges ate your baseball.  ;)

[biedergb]

Adamczewski with “double” - shallow pop to LF and LF couldn’t get to it and field it cleanly.

We will take it - improves his OPS, but was really a shallow pop up. See good things happen when you put the bat on the ball.

Muddies killing ‘em with a thousand bloops- bunch of weak hits and it’s 3-0.

Apparently a lot of the hits earlier in the series were of the bloop/soft contact - EV <75.

And Luis Peña steals home, very close play. Now 4-0 with small ball.

[Joseph Zarr]

The Muddies have now stolen home twice against these Pelicans. Pena just swiped home in a double steal while the suddenly red hot Demetrio Nadal (single) swiped second base. 4-0 Muddies top of One.

[Joseph Zarr]

Letson dealing through 3 1/3 IP - 3 H, 0 BB, 5 K, 0 R. T-Rats lead 1-0.

[biedergb]

I only have the Mudcats on now - milb glitched when I had two games on. 
‘but it looks like a missed a Brock Wilken HR. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Alastre just ripped a stand-up triple scoring Nadal. My goodness. 5-0. Nothing poorly hit in that liner.

[biedergb]

Alastre with a well hit triple. No cheap contact there. 5-0 Muddies.
