The real market inefficiency we are taking advantage of is the Polish.

How many Poles does it take to fill a starting rotation?

Couple two tree should do 'er.

But all jokes aside, it beats working at the submarine screen door factory.

Island Updates...

DSL Gold trailing 8-4 top nine. Francis Sosa has provided most of the offense with a single and three run homer. Matthew Moses has also doubled. Christopher Peralta went 4 IP | 2 R | 3 H | 1 BB | 7 K.

DSL Blue tied 2-2 bottom seven. Diustin Mayorquin started things off with 5 IP | 1 ER | 5 H | 1 BB | 6 K and Steve Duran has followed with 1.2 scoreless IP of 1 H | 3 K work. Frandy Lafond has a double and RBI while three batters (Brailyn Antunez, Jefer Lista, and Joan Gutierrez) have each walked twice with Gutierrez stealing a pair of bags too.

That slider (sweeper?) sure does slide (sweep?).

I like that all the kids are ground ballers with the potential for velocity gains.

Love to see it.

Fun coincidence that Tobias has 1 walk out of 137 batters faced so far and 1/137 is apparently known as the Fine-Structure Constant in physics, quantifying the strength of electromagnetic interaction between elementary charged particles....so he's got that going for him.

Honestly kind of shocked he doesn't have better K numbers with that wicked breaking ball.

CF Blake Perkins (after 7 games in the ACL) joins AAA Nashville to advance his rehab, while LHP Josh Maciejewski looks to replicate his last start (4 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 4 Ks), as the AAA Sounds aim for a 3-1 series lead at Jacksonville. 

[Ro Mueller]

22-year old RHP Travis Smith (3.57 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 6.2 K/9 in 45.1 IP) is making his 14th start for Low-A Carolina, still looking for his first professional Win and a 3-1 series lead at Delmarva. Newly-promoted 18-year old LF Pedro Ibarguen (.876 OPS in 106 ACL PAs) makes his full season affiliate debut. 

[Ro Mueller]

Also 22 years old, RHP Brett Wichrowski (2.88 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 7.6 K/9 in 34.1 IP) is making his 10th start of 2025, still looking for his first Win of the season. AA Biloxi needs a win at Columbus to even the series 2-2. 3B Zavier Warren has a 5-game hitting streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

High-A Wisconsin hosts Quad Cities, but trails this highly-competitive series 2 games to 1. RHP Ryan Birchard (4.22 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 10.8 K/9 in 53.1 IP) gets the start and SS Jadher Areinamo looks to extend his hitting streak to 15 games. We hope that Manager Estevez is feeling better.

A reference to the Fine Structure Constant, Brewerfan always aiming to raise the bar.

Jesus Made had a game-opening opposite field single, later scoring on a Filippo Di Turi sac fly. 1-0 Mudcats in the 1st. 

 

[Ro Mueller]

Blake Perkins K’d on 3 pitches to start the game and Josh Maciejewski gave up 3 straight singles and a homer, but one out on the bases (Jared Oliva assist) means it was only a 3-run blast. Nashville trails 3-0.

[Ro Mueller]

Biloxi needs to convert the chances they get:

- 1st inning Boeve double and Pratt single with 1-out produce nothing
- 2nd inning Miller and Adam Hall singles give them 2-on, nobody out

CONVERT! - Nope. K, K, groundout

[snoogans8056]

Ibarguen has some huge legs on him. Absolute unit.

[Ro Mueller]

Doubles from Matt Wood and Adam Hall have Biloxi ahead 2-0 in the 4th inning.

Watching this Shuckers game...the moustache epidemic has to end, they aren't for everyone.  When will the mutton chop have its day in the sun?   

[Guest]

Man the Sounds are taking a vicious beating.  Down 10 nothing being no hit with 10 k's through 5.

[Joseph Zarr]

Nashville and The Muddies getting smoked. Yowza. Nash still No Hit in the 7th trailing 12-0. Outhit 14-0. I do believe we would classify this as a 'walloping'.

[biedergb]

Shuckers win again.  Not a lot of runs, but did get some hits. And pitching looked great based on stats. Wichrowski went effective and efficient 6 IP with 2H, 1BB, 6K and 0 runs on 72 pitches.

Then Fitzpatrick, Peek and Bowman look good getting the last 9 out. Only a walk by Peek, but they all looked good. Biloxi continues to do well despite massive injury hits the past 2 weeks.

Nashville gettin no-hit. No. 

[biedergb]

After a triple by Nicasia, Hedbert gets a hit through the drawn in infield.

Areinamo walks, and Dinges goes down 0-2 and gets a flair to shallow left and it's 3-1, Areinamo thrown out trying to go to third, but nice hustle by Hedbert to score.

Let's go T-Rats!

Is it me or has Quero not caught in 2 weeks?  Mildly concerning.
