Did we mention Burke hit HR #30? So, first minor leaguers with 30 HR seasons in 25 years. Fischer and Burke. Amazing season even if somehow enhanced by something. But two 30-HR guys, same club, and it’s not even August. Yes EDIT: @RedStickBrew acknowledged it. Sorry I overlooked it.

Made 5-5, 2 HR with a grand slam. 7 RBIs. Thats good right? 😉

But you have the knowledge, and know the players, and help fill in the gaps for those of us who are so fanatic that we have to know the ins and outs of every 16-25 year old in the org. So, I guess, you are part therapist in that sense lol (at least to me 😬)

Right - I would suspect he new CBA will have something that messes up what the really well run organizations do (TB, MIL, CLE) to cater to the poorly run orgs (LAA, LV, PIT; heck NYM, SD even) to say that "everything is now fair". Let the really bad clubs have some extra benefits and penalize the well run clubs who have figured it out. Yup that is exactly the MLB that I have come to expect. So yes I plan to enjoy the next few seasons before baseball tries to ruin it for us again.

Bases loaded for Biloxi and it's Made and Burke up. Exactly who you want. Made a dribbler to the pitcher for the force at home. Burke with a K. Still tied, on to extras

Welp after grabbing a 2 run lead, Stiven Cruz comes in and gets 2 outs. Then Isaac hits a HR, then Simpson crushes it to center. 5-5 tie. Ugh

They walk Burke with 2 runners on 2nd/3rd after a Made double to pitch to Fischer. LOL. Fischer hit it hard but right at the RF. Sac Fly. Dinges grounds out - I have only seen 2-3 AB for Dinges in AA, and he doesn't look comfortable to me - either nagging thing or he is not seeing AA pitching, just not that stare he has and that swing I remember from last year.

Ortuno GIDP and it's a final. Wilson loses the game they tied up in the 9th. Meneses finishes out the shutout in Appleton for a 10-0. A generous high strike for the final out, and Rattlers win.

Meneses in now for T-Rats Wilson bases loaded with 1 out, and trying to come back down 7-3 in the 10th.

Yerlin in with a 10-0 lead. And I was expecting something wild. And man this was the best I've seen Yerlin in over a year. 95-97 mph and around the zone enough. Not too wild. But his offspeed pitch ( I assume slider or something like that but the screen says "Cutter" at about 88 mph) was sharp. Again he teases but that Yerlin is a prospect and a borderline MLB caliber reliever. But we see that Yerlin like a few times a year. So much potential. But so little execution.

Wilson gives up 3 runs in the 10th, with only 1 out. But man that last "double" was a high chopper over Ortuno and was fair by about 1 inch. Mercado left in to see if he can work out of the jam. This is education for you young man.

extras in Wilson. Biloxi after 5.2 solid innings by DeBerry now Garcia has himself in a jam and it's only a 4-2 Biloxi lead.

Antunez is a swinger/hacker. Man foul and just a big hack for strike 2. Then a nice oppo field single to drive in Frias. Antunez drives in Frias in Wilson (both were IFA in 2025 and in the DSL last year). Yeah 3-3 tied game, and Antunez steals the base.

Burke has angered the baseball gods with his HR barrage. 0-3 with 3Ks tonight

Harrison out after about 70 pitches, goes 5.2 IP of 1-hit and 3 BB with 5K. DeBerry struggling a bit here now at about 90 pitches, a run in and runners on the corners. Will he stay or come out?
