Sat. 5/24 - Grooving Into the Three-Day Weekend

[Joseph Zarr]

I see RHP Christian Welch has already surrendered five pokes and a walk in 2 IP. Truly a nightmare of a young season for this young man. He is very much giving me shades of a low-velo guy who is going to struggle sticking in affiliated ball. His stuff just hasn't played.

Exit velocity looked good on his 2run double.

103 per Javik on the call.

Good to know. He’s having himself a ballgame so far

KC Hunt having an outing that so far looks a lot like ‘24 KC Hunt

5 IP, 4H, 1R, 0BB, 8K!

Bitonti with another long ball - a two run jack - gets the Midcats out in front 2-1. Let's see which version of LHP Anfernny Reyes we get today. Come on, young gun let's shut it down!

Welcome back Mr. Mike Boeve!

Have a game Mr. Freddy Zamora

Cooper Pratt is having a rough game defensively today. Has cost the Shuckers potentially 4 outs in the 7th inning as the Smokies continue to cut into the lead.

Wow Made is having a heck of a game defensively today. @Spencer Michaelis Twitter thread is a must view today. He’s been a clipping machine.

That was such a massive scoop and turn. His D this past week has been so much better. Very very encouraging.

The other Jesus (Flores) walks the tight rope to secure the 4-3 Mudcats win.

After Bitonti, Di Turi, and Nadal singles plated two in the top half of the eleventh, Jesus went single, line out, walk, wild pitch, intentional walk before striking out the last two with the bases juiced.

[Joseph Zarr]

What a gutsy win by those Mudcats baby! Bases juiced one down for Flores and he K's two. Whewwww. Might be my favorite win of their season. Grittttty.

Ernesto just hit an absolute bomb. 107 EV, 418ft blast off the batters eye in dead center field. Also looks like he started cramping as he got to home lol.

Awesome crowd in Nashville tonight. You LOVE  to see it.With Lehigh Valley sweeping their DH vs Buffalo this likely Sounds dub will keep them within 4.0 G. Going to be tough for the Sounds to make up ground w the easy breezy current LHV schedule.

This explains why rehabbing Jaison Chourio (of the Guardians) left the ACL game early:

I’m thrilled at the resiliency shown on the farm:

- Nashville winning without a starting pitcher
- Carolina winning with only 26 active rostered players (25 when you exclude Adamczewski)
- The ACL squad scoring 6 in the 9th inning, which they entered trailing 10-5
