Sun. 8/17: Early Evening Action Aplenty

[biedergb]

Wow Nick Kahle is in pitching for the Sounds. That pitching staff is depleted. It’s a 4-3 game, welp 4-4 game now as he gives up a HR

[markedman5]

Just a beautiful lefty on left swing by Burke for an oppo double off the wall.

[biedergb]

Restituyo HR give the Shuckers the lead. Burke with a double. But is stranded.

[wibadgers23]

Adamczewski with three more hits today including a double and RBI and the Mudcats hang on (barely) for the win.

[biedergb]

Manfredi got a couple of runners on and exits to Middendorf who had been decent in a couple outings, but he had a rough inning of relief work. And Merkel gives up a couple more. It's 7-2 Clingstones now.

Bottom of 8th.

[biedergb]

Blake Burke with a single to left, and it's 7-3 now. Burke is 2-3 today. He is liking the Southern league as well for this southern boy.

[biedergb]

Heck of a catch by the Clingstone left fielder who ran into their bullpen and caught a foul of Garcia's bat that looked a sure foul ball to the seat, but just inside the netting. He held on and that's the third out. 7-3. Off to the 9th, I will check back again in a little bit to see if some Shuckers magic can happen.

[biedergb]

Nope no magic. The Mudcats your only winners today.

A double dip of DSL Brewers vs Royals (Gold vs Ventura, and Blue vs Fortuna) tomorrow, otherwise back at it Tuesday night.

Went back and watched Tyler Renz's outing. He worked efficiently and got a lot of grounders. Struck out a few his curveball was his main weapon, but good to see him get through 3 innings. And an error by Lameda that he booted that got a runner, on who stole then went to  third and scored on a wild pitch that Walther could have maybe blocked, but didn't matter as the next batter got on a infield hit that Holguin did not field well and a bad throw. But Renz K'd his last batter.  Nice outing by the youngster. Watching Letson' start from earlier now.

[biedergb]

Letson looked good overall. 95 on his first pitch, but was 93-94 mph, and his breaking ball was great when he located, a few were erratic.  Good outing back.

But boy that Loons team - George, DePaula, Quintero, Hope all 19-20 years old and very very talented players.

Well - I guess the T-Rats have the same with Pena/Made (18) as well Dinges/Fischer (21).

Bad Payne is back, and I am sad. 

Made and Burke are BABIPing like crazy since their promotions, but they’re also ISOing like crazy, which in theory shouldn’t correlate too strongly.

I think it’s correlated. They are both hitting the ball really hard. Typically speaking the harder you hit the ball in the air the more likely it is to be a hit. In small samples when you’re really hitting the ball hard, you’re probably going to run really high BABIP and ISO numbers

We got some big Newz gents. Confirming w peeps stateside but suffice to say even if I can't break this one we are all going to be extremely excited this week and likely as soon as tomorrow (or, heck, tonight). The whispers are strong on this One.

I had a hunch the news was going to be about Adamczewski! Much deserved!
