Sun. 5/15: Do It for Dad, Guys!

And lost in all of this is Brock Wilken with another HR.

His 17th this season along with 15 doubles, which is exactly what he did last year in about 60% of the games/ABs. Next HR will set his personal records for HRs in a season.

And look at that - Luke Adams 11th HR, ties his season high which has done exactly twice, 11 HR in 2023 at Carolina, and 11 HR in 2024 at Wisconsin.

Boeve is at 4 HR, and he had 5 HR in '23 and 6 in '24.

Trust @Spencer Michaelis to be on the case:

Lara with a lead off double then scores on an errant pick off attempt. 13-8. But 3 Ks to Wilken/Warren/Miller. On to the bottom of 8 - let's just get some outs here and no craziness please!

 

Thanks for linking that post @Ro Mueller and thanks for the insight @Spencer Michaelis

Odd if they were angry at 1B Ibarra and chirping at him, they "throw" at the guy before him (2B PItelli) in the line up, give up a HR to Ibarra, and then 2 batters later (C Hunter). Would have to see if the 2B or C were involved in the hoopla around the Shuckers homers.

And Tyler Bryant answers the bell. Ground out, 4-pitch walk, then K and a 3 pitch strike!

On to the 9th, Shuck Yeah!

[biedergb]

Add on run in the top of the 9th, and a 1-2-3 for Childers in the 9th, and a 14-8 final!

Laughably it is Mark Manfredi as the winning pitcher.

Gonna throw it out again - any one see/hear anything to explain Bitonti’s absence the past 4 games?

Wilken and Adams now tied for the Southern League lead in OPS.

Wilken now has six more HRs than anyone else in the Southern League.

The lack of response gives you your answer: afraid not.

AAA, either one. I know 1B is extra loaded at Nahville but 3B could use some help. Burke is ready for AA. Probably some options like Tayden Hall to play Appleton 1B.

Adams really fleshing out his #s. On a pace for his best year by far, while still only a couple months past his 21st birthday & in his first taste of AA. Good stuff.
