AA Biloxi is tied 1-1 in their home series against Knoxville and has 22-year old RHP Brett Wichrowski (3.60 ERA, 6 Ks in 10 IP) making his 4th start tonight. 3B Brock Wilken leads the Southern League in homers (11) and walks (39) and is 2nd in total bases (73).

[Joseph Zarr]

Well, we have no line-up card posted at the Mudcats twitter feed. They are showing Meccage on the Scoreboard Team feed. In the Box/Game Logs they are showing Hostetler starting. Nice.

🙃

 

 

[Ro Mueller]

Carolina is down 1-0 in their series at Fredericksburg and MILB is showing RHP Jack Hostetler (6.75 ERA, 8 Ks in 8 IP) as the Game 1 starter after a 6-week injury absence:

1 - Made - SS
2 - Anderson - CF
3 - Bitonti - 1B
4 - Di Turi - 3B
5 - Walling - RF
6 - Nadal - LF
7 - Lameda - 2B
8 - T. Rodriguez - RF
9 - E, Martinez - C
X - Hostetler - P

[Ro Mueller]

High-A Wisconsin leads their series at South Bend 2-0 and has stellar RHP Tyson Hardin (1.16 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, 9.3 K/9 in 38.2 IP) on the bump tonight. 1B Blake Burke has hit safely in 16 of his last 17 games. 

[Ro Mueller]

Jadher Areinamo oppo-taco leadoff homer for Wisconsin. Eduardo, Burke and Dinges followed with back-to-back-to-back singles, but a pickoff (Burke) and GIDP (Baez) limited us to one more run.

2-0 Timber Rattlers before Hardin throws his first pitch. 

 

[Ro Mueller]

And Tyson Hardin strikes out the side swinging in his first frame. Keep it up!

[biedergb]

SO it was Hostetler to start in Carolina, and relieved by Melvin Hernandez. No Meccage still.

[snoogans8056]

The Rattlers game made me notice that the Cubs ACL (1-13), A (10-31), and A+ (16-24) teams all stink.

Thanks. Just saw my error too. Sigh.

[biedergb]

Melvin Hernandez doing Melvin things 3 up 3 down on 7 pitches. No K, but I love the efficiency.

[Ro Mueller]

Made’s gotten on base twice in the first 3 innings (single, walk) and Di Turi has singled him home both times. That’ll play. 2-1 Mudcats thus far.

[biedergb]

I know it's been mentioned before, but compared to opening week, that Mudcat lineup is diluted down, with no Dinges (promotion), Pena (IL stint), Payne, Adamczewski it has much less teeth, and add Bitonti's immense struggles you went from a team that was essentially all high wRC+/OPS guys throughout the lineup, to having  Walling, Nadal, Lameda, Rodriguez and Martinez in the 5-9 spots.

[Ro Mueller]

Juan Baez now has 8 errors in 231 innings at 3rd base this year.

He has Zero errors in 80 innings at 2nd base this year.

I know he has struggled at high-A, but you can toss Alastre in there too for his Carolina production.

[sveumrules]

Seigler must be feeling alright.

102 MPH single, stole second, to third on an error, and scored the first Sounds run on a Nick Kahle RBI single to make it a 2-1 ballgame after two innings.

[biedergb]

Eric Martinez with 3 errors that have led to one run directly and another indirectly (catchers interference). Drop off it seems from Dinges to him. Both those runs under Hernandez’s watch who was less efficient but ok given the defense lapses.

Muddies tie it up 3-3.

 

T-Rats are still up.  Hardin with 1-run ball through 5 IP with 8 K.

hedbert with an RBI and it’s now 5-1 TRats.

 

[biedergb]

Hardin is out. Pitches 6 innings, 8K, 6 H, 1R, but 0BB. Tanner Shears on to try to help preserve the 5-1 lead.

Muddies give up a couple and get one back.  Made on all 4PA (2H, 2BB)

Shuckers trying to start a rally with Boeve single, Wilken walk. Let’s go Shuckers 

[biedergb]

Rally started but no finish to it as Biloxi goes next 3 up and 3 down after the single-walk start. Still down 1-0. Wichrowski out after 4 IP but with 6K.

Shears trying to close the door on the inning after giving 3 free passes in a row (one runner picked off), and gets the out. Still 5-1

Melvin Hernandez allowed to finish the 7th inning (his 5th), and team still trails 5-4.

[biedergb]

Mudcats just can’t get a tying run home. Lose 5-4. The FredNats have a lots of 22+ year olds on their low A roster just sayin’

TRats have Rund in and he walks the bases loaded but a huge DP and a run in but only 1 on and 2 outs. 5-2 TRats lead still in the 8th.  And he gets the K. On to the 9th.

Billxi still trying to get some offense going. C’mon Biloxi

[biedergb]

Rena was the Brewers starter in Arizona. He got through the first without a run - 1H, 1BB and 1K

[biedergb]

Line drive up the middle and Boeve has a 2 run single. Shuckers now lead
