Should be interesting to watch Torres and Bonet tonight if I get a chance, and hoping Hardin can bounce back.

Last nights results (other than T-Rats) among other recent results with Nashville, Wilson have me in a little funk.  Hard to read the starts of these minor league seasons, as some prospects jump off the page early (and some of those cool off), and some really come on in May/June.

[Ro Mueller]

The AAA Sounds look to 25-year old LHP Tate Kuehner (9.2 IP, 6 R, 9 Ks thru 2 starts) to help lead them back from a 3-1 series deficit at Gwinnett. RF Greg Jones has 5 hits  over his past 2 games and an 11-game on-base streak.

[Ro Mueller]

21-year old LHP Wande Torres makes his first-ever High-A start (2nd appearance; 2.1 IP, 1 R, 3 Ks in first outing) as Wisconsin aims to clinch a 4-1 series win at Quad Cities. 19-year old DH/INF Luis Pena is off to a solid start in 2026 (5-for-13, 6 walks, 4 SB).

[Ro Mueller]

20-year old RHP Jarrette Bonet turned heads in his Minor League debut (2 IP, 1 R, 5 Ks) and Low-A Wilson need him to help halt their 4-game losing skid at Salem. 2B Juan Ortuno is the only hitter in the lineup with an average north of .200 through 7 games on the young season.

[Ro Mueller]

The AA Shuckers get a second chance to clinch a home series win over Pensacola, with 24-year old RHP Tyson Hardin seeking a bounce-back outing (3 IP, 5 R, 5 Ks). 18-year old SS Jesus Made has 12 hits (.375 AVG) in just 7 games played in 2026.

Gary is wilding 

[biedergb]

So while Denver now puts up 2 goals in the 3rd, I'm back to some MiLB.

Wilson up 2-0 despite being no hit so far lol. Wait 3-0 now on their first hit.

Hardin very good for 3 innings. noice

And Luis Lara still remains the offense of Nashville with Leonard and Jones.

[biedergb]

And the biedergb curse is in full effect. Grrrr. Hardin - double, walk single and error. 2-0 Shucker down.  Dang it

[biedergb]

so Shuckers and Warbirds are in a competition of who can score more with fewer hits 🤣

Shuckers with 5 runs on 3 hits (5 walks)
Warbirds with 6 runs on 3 hits (9 walks). Encarnacion and Anderson with most of the offense tonight, and all 3 hits (Anderson with a HR)

[biedergb]

The Warbirds close it out, with 6 runs on 4 hits (and 11 walks, and 4 errors by Salem). Niksch closes it out.

I went to watch the Shuckers game and the Biloxi feed cut after the top of 6 - man that team needs to figure a way to video and audio into this century.  And Biloxi extends the lead now on a sac fly.

[biedergb]

Wilson and Biloxi have 11 hits between them both, yet 13 runs. Biloxi looking to try to close out a win here

Nashville with 11 hits and only 3 meager runs, they let the ghost runner score to lose 4-3.

This format is probably better for viewing experience.

Comparing to last season, so far Hardin is whiffing more batters, but results have not been great so far partially because he got BABIP'd. I think the surface numbers will come around given some time.
