Thurs. 6/12 - Sounds at 11:00 AM CT; Full Slate as Complex Kids Return to Action

Holy heck, I just saw the ACL game and now 13-0 top of 3 😳.  They have allowed 13 runs on 10 hits with 3 errors, and the offense has only 1 hit. Yikes.

 

And it is Stiven Cruz on for Aquino to try to close out a 9-2 game.

[biedergb]

A 1-2-3 inning for the Shuckers 1-2-3 hitters. Dang it. Adams pops up, Lara with a grounder and just a step away from an infield hit, and Pratt pops out. Let's hope for extras with a scoreless 9th please?

And Stiven Cruz with 2 quick outs.. and he closes it out. Final 9-2 TRats with a win.

[biedergb]

On to extras in Chattanooga. Childers makes you sweat with 2-out single and walk. But he gets the out.

Now for that Shuckers offense to get a run .... or two would be nice.

 

I see Aaron Ashby has his first save of the year tonight - which is obviously the "Story" of the big league game 🤣

[biedergb]

Shuckers get exactly what they want, a base hit on the first batter. Wilken hits his 16th single of the year, but Pratt gets to 3rd base. Then an infield pop up, and a fly to shallow RF and it's 2 outs, and unable to get a run across. 

Ugh. Up to Vargas and he gets a hit. How Spain doesn't score, but the throw gets away and he heads for home but they tag Vargas going to 2nd a split second before Spain scores, and it's only a 1 run single??

At least they got a run, really should have had 2, or even more. That inning was weird. I'll have to look at the base running again, but with 2 outs Spain (who pinch ran for Wilken) should have scored easily on that hit I would have thought, but maybe it wasn't as deep as I remembered when watching it live.

[biedergb]

Bo Bowman on to close it out. Please Bo get these last few outs.

[biedergb]

Just your classic 1-2-3 GIDP to end the game after 2 HBP load the bases.

Alright Shuckers win 6-5. Nice come back win. 

 

That's a good end to the evening with TRats and Shuckers atoning for the walk off loss by Nashville and the complete domination by Lynchburg.

 

OH wait - Complex Crew still playing and it's now 13-4, they may try to claw back.

 

I don't think there were any other great performances by and Brewers prospects tonight, were there ? 😉

A random news a week ago for y'all. So basically Brewers scouts were seen in high school baseball tournaments in Taiwan, my hometown. A little surprising to me cause Latin America was the main focus in international signings for the past few years. The last time they sign Asian talents traced back to 2018.

So Luke Adams turned 21 a month and a half ago and has like a 180 wRC+ in AA. Feels like he isn’t getting enough recognition for the season he’s having 

Gotta be a top 5-6 non pitching prospect in the system now, no?

Baez and Alastre have been very good the last few weeks for the Rattlers. No power, but holding their own as 19 year olds in A+.

Both started off absolutely terrible so the stats won’t look good, but they are fueling this turnaround just as much as the big bats.
