The Low-A Warbirds have dropped 2 close home games to Hill City, but have RHP Jacob Morrison (7 IP, 0 ER, 6 Ks) ready to dominate them tonight. 2B Luis Lameda has hit safely in 9 of his last 11 games.

AAA Nashville shoot for a 3-0 home series lead over Iowa, with rehabbing LHP Rob Zastryzny making his first appearance since March 31. CF Luis Lara leads the 20-team International League in runs (36), is 2nd in hits (50) and 3rd in stolen bases (15).

22-year old LHP JD Thompson (5 IP, 4 R, 6 Ks) makes his 3rd start for High-A Wisconsin, which seek to grab a 2-1 home series lead over South Bend. LF Josh Adamczewski is 5th in the Midwest League in AVG (.319) and OPS (1.016). C Marco Dinges is absent from the lineup for a 3rd straight game.

[Ro Mueller]

The AA Shuckers can take a commanding 3-0 series lead at Montgomery tonight behind RHP Tanner Gillis (3.20 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 8.2 K/9 in 19.2 IP). LF Eric Brown Jr. (.714 OPS in 43 PAs) has returned to the lineup after a 4-week injury absence.

Made gets a much needed day off.  He's been struggling a bit.

Want to see one of the worst interference calls you’ll ever see?

That's all sorts of 'Huh?!?'

[Joseph Zarr]

Man, Adamczewski is an absolute machine right now.

2-for-2 early with a triple.

JD Thompson went 4.0 IP scattering 2 H, 2 BB, allowing 1 ER with 5 K. Got up to 56 pitches. You love to see it.

[Joseph Zarr]

I see Rivera came aboard after JD walked his lead off man in the 5th. He proceeded to give up a double. Men on 2nd and 3rd.

Nobody out. T-Rats cling to a 3-1 lead.

[wiguy94]

Payne with a no doubter 110 EV HR to CF off a 94mph FB

 

[wiguy94]

What they are doing with Jose Nova is criminal. They are just going to destroy this kid by keep throwing out there to get shelled. ERA is up to 28 after giving up a 3-run HR just now 

[Joseph Zarr]

Stop the presses.

RHP Ryan Birchard has two scoreless relief outings in May with zero walks. This includes tonight's clean 1.0 IP 3 K effort.

 Despite the modest (but climbing) numbers Cooper Pratt is one of these guys that has hit the ball hard to all fields. Sharp single to RF tonite followed by a double to the gap in LC. And like Lara he draws his walks & just doesn't strike out much. He's gettin' there.

A couple more Xbase hits for Jett Williams.

Our old buddy Owen Miller pinch ran for Iowa tonite.

Just left the TRats game. Highlight was a couple of decent hot dogs. Lowlight was the TRats game.

At least you got to see Payne hit a nuke

[Joseph Zarr]

25-6 ?!? LOL. I see Alastre fit right into that beleaguered T-Rats staff. My goodness. They have some guys on that staff that are sticks of dynamite on that mound. My word. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Welp, there was that T-Rats game. Whatever that was. AND, then there was this Sounds game-sealing play in the top of the 9th to Save the Win. What a play by Adams!

 

[Ro Mueller]

There was an injury delay when Jacob Morrison exited in the 3rd inning of Wilson’s win. Did anyone catch what happened?

[brewmann04]

What has happened to C Rodriguez?

[Tedaldtada]

ACL Crew are electric

Yeah it just feels like both Pratt and Jett are really close to taking off. I like what I’ve seen from them the past couple weeks.

I hope so, finding just a league average bat between SS or 3rd really would go along way towards rounding out the team.
