The AAA Sounds are to resume the first game of yesterday’s attempted doubleheader at Norfolk with rehabbing RF Sal Frelick in a 3-1 count in the top of the first inning. Nashville trail the series 2 games to 1 and send RHP Brandon Sproat (5 IP, 0 R, 8 Ks last week) out to start.

Was curious how they’d get Adams/Burke/Wilken/Quero all in the same lineup and now Quero is back catching again finally so I have my answer

I think Luke Adams can play 3B

LHP Andrew Healy took a tough loss on Tuesday (4 IP, 1 R, 7 Ks, but gets another shot at home against Lake County. High-A Wisconsin have dropped 4 of 5 games in the series. CF Sawyer Strosnider (.926 OPS in 47 PAs) has hit safely in 9 of 10 games.

Flip over to the Sounds game if you like good pitching 

[Tedaldtada]

Tyler Black just made a great play to save the no-no! Very nice!

[SF70]

Great to see Kuehner pitching again — and pitching so well to boot.

Are they limiting Sproats innings or converting him to relief?

After capturing the first game of today’s doubleheader in Norfolk, the Sounds can snatch a 3-2 series win behind RHP Tyson Hardin (5.14 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 in 75.1 AAA IP). SS Ethan Murray has homered in 2 of his last 3 games. Jihwan Bae is playing second base.

Innings shouldn't be too big of a concern at 116 IP in 2024, 141 IP last year, and 107 IP so far this year after today.

Maybe seeing if the stuff plays up a little bit in shorter outings, or maybe just a function of the doubleheader today?

[Ro Mueller]

LHP JD Thompson gets a second crack at Rocket City after losing Tuesday’s contest (4 IP, 3 R, 8 Ks). Biloxi have lost 4 of 5 in the series. Luis Pena has a 6-game hitting streak and gets his first AA start at shortstop.

The Eric Bitonti game is unfolding: RBI single, solo homer, another solo homer. 6-5 Wisconsin thus far:

Brewers top pitching prospects pitching well today. Kuehner-Hardin-Morrison all with excellent outings.

Hopefully Thompson can join them.

Thompson with an uneven performance today. Too many baserunners with 5 hits/4 BB’s but limited runs with 2 and did K 7.
