If you have the patience for extended (spring training) pitch-by-pitch behind-the-plate views of Jesus Made at the plate and RHP Bishop Letson on the mound, then Fangraphs has you covered with just-released videos this AM:

Made's hit on that up and in fastball at 1:23 was impressive. Lightning quick hands

Letson's slider looks vicious as well

I think I might love Josh Norris. Man what a listen thanks for the link Jim! Goosebumps, chills, etc.

The AA Shuckers have a big home doubleheader against Pensacola tonight, trailing 1-0 in the series. RHP Coleman Crow (maximum 3 IP, 57 pitches over last 3 stats) gets the opening game nod. C Ramon Rodriguez (.887 OPS in 66 PAs with only 3 Ks) gets his first action since Saturday. 

[Ro Mueller]

After two close victories, the Low-A Mudcats can claim a 3-0 series lead at Kannapolis, behind RHP Travis Smith (3.60 ERA, 11 Ks in 15 IP) as he makes his 6th start.  3B Luis Pena is 3rd in the Carolina League in batting average, 4th in OPS and 4th in stolen bases. 

[Ro Mueller]

DH/1B Ernesto Martinez Jr. (.874 OPS in 77 PAs) returns after a 16-day absence (thumb) and rehabbing RHP Aaron Civale makes is his first appearance since March 30, as the AAA Sounds shoot for a 2-1 home series lead over Norfolk. 

[Ro Mueller]

20-year old RHP Bishop Letson (1.27 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, 11.0 K/9 in 21.1 IP) gets his turn to carve up Peoria (series tied 1-1) in a road start for High-A Wisconsin. 1B Blake Burke has hit safely in 9 of his last 10 games.

Shuckers strike for 5 in the first

 

[Ro Mueller]

What a start for Biloxi! Coleman Crow strikes out the side on 12 pitches, then Adams and Boeve walk before Luis Lara drives them both in with a 2-out double and Zavier Warren follows later in the same inning with a 3-run blast.

5-0 Shuckers after 1 inning! 

[Ro Mueller]

Travis Smith allowed a leadoff double and later walked in a run in the 1st inning.

They’re halfway through the 2nd frame in Kannapolis, Carolina trailing 1-0.

Game delayed for lightning.

[markedman5]

4 shutout innings for Crow with 7 ks

another homer for Wilken

MILB Game Day says the Mudcats’ game is now suspended. I’d imagine they’ll play the remaining 7.5 innings tomorrow, plus a 7-inning game, but we’ll wait for official word.

[Ro Mueller]

Coleman Crow comes out after season highs of 63 pitches, 4.2 shutout innings and 8 Ks. And that’s against a 19-9 Pensacola team. Whew! Biloxi up 8-0!

[MilwaukeeBeers]

EMJ with an RBI rocket single. I am convinced if he was on the ML roster he'd be one of the team leaders in good swing decisions and average exit velocity

[sveumrules]

Aaron Civale went four scoreless of 1 H | 1 BB | 3 K work in his rehab start with Logan Henderson taking the mound for the fifth.

Jared Oliva had a two RBI triple and scored on an errant throw to make it 4-0 NASH.

& Ethan Murray walks to load the bases for Garrett Spain, prompting a mound visit & pitching change.

[sveumrules]

Spain fouls off a trio of two strike pitches before notching the RBI single, 3-1 Biloxi.
