    Yup another three batter inning for Rodriguez- another caught stealing, and inning ending grounder to Baez at 3B. Sounds big lead heading to bottom 10.
  2. biedergb
    Ugh. So Baez grounds out softly. But only the one out. Lead 6-3. Bitonti then flails on a pitch low, then tries to check on another pitch out of the zone and called as a swing. Bitonti- when he can make contact is a heckuva hitter with elite power. Pitch recognition is his to-do list.

    And two 4 pitch walks for the Mudcats and free swinging Baez So pitcher who hasn’t got in the strike zone vs a hitter who loves to swing at anything…..
  4. biedergb
    Mudcats trying for another rally. Base big then a balk (pitcher lost balance and just held on to the ball as opposed to throwing who knows where), then Mercado strikes out. New pitcher in for Delmarva.

    And Br. Rodriguez comes in get the first guy out. Then a walk. And an easy caught stealing - I mean out easily. Bad jump or just slow. Then a hard hit ball and nice backhand by Baez to end the inning. 3 up 3 down (via walk and CS). On to inning #8

    Ok. Ashby did a great job. Maybe short stint relief is his future? I was wondering about that earlier in the season when he was struggling so much - find out what he does best (slider) and build around it. Gularte Ks and Walling apparently made out - my video cut out but Mudcats up 5-3
  7. biedergb
    Sounds raising the white flag in a tie game? Ashby in…… And Baez gives the Mudcats the lead. edit : Baez a bleeder for a run . Then an error and Bitonti is on for Adamczewski

    Wilken gets rewarded for finally hitting it hard, by hitting directly to the SS and the force out at 2B ends it. 1-0 loss. Offense is drying up everywhere this week.
  9. biedergb
    While Boeve has come back and hit mostly, Wilken has been ice cold. Hopefully he figures it out again. His was hitting well in July. Just not great to watch Also - add Lara as one who is struggling. Outside his first few weeks in Wisconsin, he has had a good week here and there but just not consistent on the offensive side. I suspect he will repeat A+ next year.

    Does Clarke have much of a fit in the organization after this lost season? Devanney has done the same repeating AAA, and with the IF prospects not much of a loss. Ryan Brady is putting up good numbers in AA. Again he may have been lost in the organization’s depth. Was he ever on the 40 man roster? I doubt he gets protected, and have to check if he’s FA after the season.

    I am a big fan of Yoho. But he has exactly 1 year of professional pitching, and I love his talent, but that is a big jump to MLB hitters in playoffs. I am for trying to get him moving up, but we have very talented pitchers (Peguero, Megill, Payamps, Hudson, Koenig, D. Wililams) who would also make AA/AAA hitters look foolish. And Miz - if he is going to be a reliever long term, then sure. But if we want him to be a starter I would let him keep getting reps in the minors. But just my humble opinions. And that is what is great - we can all have different takes on these situations.

    EBJ with a big hit and web gem. Like it. Needs to see more from him. I'd love for him to get a big August in there to stay relevant as a prospect. He is precariously close to being relegated down the chain with Areinamo, Pratt and even DiTuri, Made, Pena at the lower levels. And Miz looked sharp. I keep seeing him in the pen (yeah I'm not 100% Keith Law here but start the career in the pen), with guys like Yoho, Megill, Hudson, and even Hall if he does not stick long term as a SP. That is a sick bullpen for a couple of years, and you can see why a guy like Devin Williams could be traded in the offseason.
  13. biedergb
    And in his first start in low A, Austin cruises thru 2 IP, then starts the 3rd with 4 straight hits allowed (including a 2B and a HR), and it’s 3-2 FredNats, with a runner still on..
  14. biedergb
    I could Imagine it’s inning management for Letson as a Midwest HS pitcher, he will slowly build up innings. But hopefully it’s only something like that. Birchard is coming back from an injury, so hopefully he’s ok as I’m sure they want him to get a lot of looks at live game action even if they will limit some innings. I wonder if Birchard or Woodward will be AFL candidates? And what other pitchers, a they have some candidates to get more action. And several who they likely don’t want to send (Henderson, Yoho, Hunt for example who have all jumped up multiple levels and pitched a fair bit).

    Quite a night. I’ll miss it tonight. Can’t wait to read up on it tomorrow.
  16. biedergb
    I agree - I think Kiley does a good job. But they often and still do appear to hear the chatter from bigger media outlets. He is good but if you hear 10x as much about a Yankee prospect it will still affect your view compared to prospect who gets little hype. That’s changing with BP, JustBaseball, and guys like our own Spencer etc. getting info on other markets. The other is we overvalue our prospects for similar reasons - we discuss it here frequently. And we also see the development and see the fit with the club. So I agree. I’m not ragging ESPN but they do get more info from national sources. And bigger name players or IFA signings get more hype. And also BA seems to have fallen out of favor for us as well so it’s not just an ESPN thing.
  17. biedergb
    ESPN historically has been awful for ranking anything in baseball - it’s LA, Boston, NY and Chicago with the hype those media outlets provide - ESPN then uses that to factor into who is good or not. And they clearly overlook smaller markets we don’t have as much media hype
  18. biedergb
    Yeah, I think I agree with the names on David Gasper's list but the order is up for a lot of debate. But truly 30-40 prospects deep, with a very solid top 20-25. Guys like Pratt, Yophery, J. Made will be top 100 prospects moving forward, and a lot of us can agree with Aram on Luke Adams. If he can replicate this at AA next year he is a sure fire top 100 prospect then. A big IF.
  19. biedergb
    Also to note a Paul Hoff outing on the island. He went a while without pitching but has made a few appearances recently. Jose Anderson HR watch still going on. None since July 15 😳😳😳 Finally the race for DSL Brew1 OPS lead will come down to,the wire between Made and Peña. Just unbelievable the season those two have had.
  20. biedergb
    Whoa. Did the Shuckers revert back to May? They got 1-hit in 2 games in a row? But at least Chad Patrick appears to be himself. Another evening of travel for me, and odd and off night for the affiliates. I did get to watch Miz from last night (well 2nd inning only as milb tv lost the first inning). And he looked good And Wichrowski also looked mostly solid, looking more in control and touched 97. Not a lot of pitching to review from tonight it seemed like. DSL boys were the entire offense as well.
  21. biedergb
    So I had to fly for a meeting, and with the delay just got down to read up on things about 10-15 minutes ago. Man after that offensively charged 7-1 night last night, this seems like a let down. Muddies came out hitting and Bitonti wow that kid can hit for power. Some good pitching - I’ll watch Miz and Wichrowski tomorrow morning. Some not great pitching. Not a lot of hits outside of the low A game. I guess I picked the right now to be glued to milb (last night) and the right night to have travel and travel delays 🙄 Anyway @Joseph Zarr - amazing effort in the play by play and thanks to @wiguy94 among others too. When I can’t watch it’s great to “see” these games play out in this forum/thread. What a treat!
  22. biedergb
    First WOW, that is so impressive. I have been a big fan of Yophery. And Baez too. We forget he is only 6 months older than Yophery, but had another year of action (DSL in '22, ACL in '23, and low A in '24). Yophery is cutting down on the K. I can't find a source that gives monthly splits with advanced metrics. But looking at raw data, his K rate (calculated as K/(AB+BB) since I can't find monthly splits on HBP or SF etc) has gone from 35% in April, to 26% in May, to 21-22% in June/July. It is 16% this month in only a handful of games. But he is trending in the acceptable 20-25% K rate range, for a guy with power that's something I can live with. But a trend down showing he has improved somewhat is nice to see for a guy that young.
  23. biedergb
    Yeah. Odd. As he pitched all season at low A. Maybe to help build innings and confidence, and maybe to help the Mudcats win games later in the season. Now this year he sprints past A+, the stops in Biloxi for a bit and off to Nashville. Good for him Thats 3-4 quality arms in AAA (Miz, CFRod, Henderson and the overlooked Patrick). To go with Gasser, Hall as young arms to work into the rotation next year along with Freddy, Colin, Tobias and Civale, along with the unknowns of Miley (retire?) and Woodruff (shoulder surgery). That’s a plethora of possible pitchers to pen in the rotation next year.

    Yeager goes ground out (off his leg) for a simple 1-3 put out for out #1. Then fools him with a nice ? curve. And then pure heat and it’s a K. 2 outs! Last man up and lines it heading to LF for a single but No Way Not Today say EBJ. Snares the last out. Sweet. Great come from behind win. its a 7-1 day/night for the affiliates. For those who love milb it’s days like today you dream of. Bigs wins. Promotions. Big hits. Comebacks. Blow outs. Nice pitching performances. All around. Oh yeah and Manuel Rodriguez. I mean he works around contact. And he *only* gets through 4 IP. I mean he must lead the organization in average IP per start or at least top 3-5 right? If Miz had the composure and efficiency he has, or if Manuel had some of Miz’s raw stuff…. ‘So how did the brewers do tonight? 😉
  25. biedergb
    And they break through. Hall singles, Sparks singles the Martin triples them home. Then Boeve with a high chopper that goes just over the drawn in but leaping 2B, and it’s 6-3 yay boy! Wilken GIDP - a tough 0-5 with 3K night for him. Then Miller strikes out and it’s off to the bottom of the ninth.
