Tue. 9/2 - Can the Mudcats Win 5 of 7 This Week to Likely Stave Off Franchise Extinction?

Luis Pena is just completely lost at the plate right now.  Is he just running out of steam at this point?  Made, on the other hand, continues to get his hits.

Ebel played 3rd in high school watched many games he has the arm for third but  is a ss  and ofc  u know why he didn't play ss  right .

I heard there was some kid who played SS ahead of him. Seemed like a decent ball player. I think his dad forced the coach play him at SS, but lost track of him ... what's he doing these days 😉

Likely that, and the better level and some issues of pressing a bit. He made it look so easy in DSL and low A this year, this is his first real taste. Made had his struggles to end July and I think he responded OK.

Have to think Pena will be OK, would love to see him end the season on a high note, but I would expect him to start out well next year. His bat is electric and he has shown the eyes at the plate.

Luke Adams pitch goes over his head and hits his bat. He goes down and may have thought the ball hit is helmet and was down for a few seconds. But all is well and draws the walk.  He has 3  walks, HBP and a single tonight. Yup That's Luke Adams.

Made with a sac fly. And then Fischer with a hard hit single to right. He is 3-4 tonight. Then Baez with a sac fly and it's 6-2 T-Rats over the Cubs affiliate. Any loss by a Cubs team is a joyous occasion. Need three outs to close the door here, let's do it!!

Uh oh. Cruz walks the first batter in the 9th -what's that rule again (never walk the first batter).

Then a single and runners at the corners.

But he gets a K. One down. Then a sac fly to RF. 6-3 game

One more out to go.

[biedergb]

Made with the catch and throw. And it's a 6-3 win

That is a 3 win night for the affiliates. And 4-0 start to the week. Alright

Now if we can get that big league club back on a winning streak 😬

Liranzo continues to impress as a reliever in Nashville

His last 17 appearances have been really solid.

He had an ERA of over 5, and 31 K to 13 BB, since his ERA is now down to 3.31 and he has 27 K to 7 BB.

Well, just had a 13 hour day. Including a mid-day three hour jaunt into Sandpoint, ID to get my kiddo situated for her first day of school tomorrow. Taught her how to ride her bike after training wheels were taken off (much success!) and came back home to do some fire mitigation work and then squash harvest with a bevy of farm animal duties in 100F heat. Yeah, I'm ready for Fall. 

Great Scotts! It's a 4-0 beginning to the week!! First half time machine! Let's GO!

Ok. Time to write a report. 🙃

Welcome back @Joseph Zarr  don’t worry you didn’t miss anything 😉

Hey finally my turn to write the nights play-by-play so you can catch up

The last time the four full-season affiliates swept their Tuesday four-game slate (we'll throw Biloxi's Labor Day 'W' in here) was August 12th. It's a beautiful thing. Huge 'W' for the Mudcats tonight.
