    As posted over at BCB - Levonas is not signing: https://www.baseballprospectjournal.com/chris-levonas-declines-brewers-offer-opts-for-college/ So that leaves Nunnalee, Malamazian, Wech and Brummel as unknowns I hope we can get two of those (Nunnalee and Brummel are my favorites, but I have historically had a very bad track history with the draft picks I get excited about, Dane Artman, Brent Brewer, Jake Gatewood among a few that I was so excited to see they signed... ooof)

    The #68 pick needs to be signed, so we can rest assured that will be used on an overslot player. But with a high compensation associated with that pick, and multiple high selections, like this year, the team will have a larger pool for signings again next year, so they can try to work the magic of getting as many higher ranked players, rather than all out for 1-2 top picks. Or maybe they pivot and next year go with 5 high end players and give them their slot or above slot deals. GBB

    Per baseball savant his fastball was 92.8 - 95.5, but mostly 93.x - 94.x range. He had 12 swinging strikes of his 74 pitches. So outside that first inning he was decent. Encouraging I think.
  4. biedergb
    Yeah DL Hall had a tough trip through the order the first time but mid second inning was pitching well The defense giveth (Black nice catch as mentioned in left) and taketh (brutal miss on the “single” in the first.)

    Mudcats walk off, Shuckers come from behind win and signing Broughton have made my day today.
  6. biedergb
    That “walk” was a swing called a check swing by the third base ump. Very close. Looks like he swung. But I’m also very biased
  7. biedergb
    Walk off win for the muddies. My feed went blank. But looks like ground out then sac fly scores Adamczewski. 9-8 shuckers trying to hold on with Yeager pitching the 9th. One out. Then a 12 pitch at bat results in a walk.
  8. biedergb
    Well. Interesting bottom of 9. After the Castillo double, and DiTuri fly out. Baez reaches on an error. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Bitonti hard hit ball to 1B, who apparently may have stepped on the bag, then threw home but no one running. Mudcats and Bitonti thought he reached on a FC, but umps agreed the first baseman stepped on the bag. Then Adamczewski grounds up the middle and nice play by their 2B to get him. On to extras….

    Looks like a less than stellar outing for young Eniel Cortez. Did anyone watch DL Hall - or data on his velocity and/or movement. Box stats are ok, but not awesome: 5 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks 5 K in 5 IP. If I don’t fall asleep too early I will try to rewatch his outing.
  10. biedergb
    Well that RusShane Smith pitched 7 strong innings tonight. i for one support the Smith piggyback
  11. biedergb
    Dang the lead doesn't last long. 2-1 Cubs back on top of TRats Not much going for the TRats but Lara 1-2 with the 2B, and Adams (HR) carrying all the offense. Line up misses Areinamo. But I guess this Pratt player who they had to call up may be an OK player ;)
  12. biedergb
    He has a 70 grade laugh

    With the money saved I would hope a few players were enticed to sign. Quantity is the key - you want quality but since injuries, development etc can’t always be predicted it’s safe to go for a bunch of talented players and see who develops, stays healthy. if very few day 3 picks sigh then the draft is like the trade deadline - a dud.
  14. biedergb
    Yeah but Wiemer is an asset. Cost controlled, good defensive and has some chance of higher offensive ceiling. That is something many teams want. So Wiemer or Junis for Montas makes sense, but 2-for-1 and nothing else coming back (cash, or PTBNL, or a lower level prospect). Very very curious. DL Hall may come back as a 'pen arm (to replace Hudson) and Mears/Ross replaces Junis/AAAA call up innings I guess. Montas to join Freddie/Rea/Meyers/Civale as the starting 5. Wilson back as swing man. IDK Oh well. Let's see how this all ages.
  15. biedergb
    Estevez and the same core of players (Lara, Adams, Areinamo, Vargas) are why the TRats are the top team in the MWL. They play sound baseball, and the team has a very team first approach. Most teams want to be like that, but I tell you watch the TRats play this summer and you will see the little things - good defense, taking a pitch to get a walk or get extra pitches, put the ball in play, try to take the extra base. Aggressive but not crazy. And yes the talent is there, but the cohesion from playing two years together and from a solid manager is apparent with this club.
  16. biedergb
    That is 18 RBI for the month .... but 14 of those in the past three games WOW!
  17. biedergb
    Mudcats - nice - offense is alive today. TRats hold on. After building the 5-2 lead in the 10th, they had the bases loaded (a stolen base led to a IBB on Hall) with one out, and grounder to pitcher who goes home for the 2nd, then a fly out (or grounder now I can’t remember), and the bases are left loaded. Roots was not sharp, but Costello goes K and grounder and slams the door. big Win TRats!
  18. biedergb
    Bayden clearly struggling. First batter gapped into RF that Lara tracks down. Then a single to bring in the run. Then a walk. Winning run coming to the plate. Root already at 40 pitches. And Chase Costello enters. 2 on, 1 out winning run at the plate. Let’s go Chase.
  19. biedergb
    Root holds serve. Works around a Garcia error, and we are off to the 10th in Beloit.
  20. biedergb
    Castillo may be our second best power / HR hitter in the organization. Not overly big, but he does provide the Mudcats with that power element.
  21. biedergb
    A hit and a walk. Then the TRats do some atypical things for this club. First Vargas- who is usually so fundamentally sound - flails with a bunt attempt at the first pitch, then foul bunts the next. And strikes out. A wild pitch moves the runners and Edaurqui with a big hit but for some reason on a shallow single to RF then send Hall (who is not particularly speedy) and the Beloit announcer puzzled that he was sent, and he out by 10 feet. Another wild pitch then Lara skies it to LF but under it enough that the LF hauls it in in the corner. Tied game but could have been much more. Mudcats have tacked on more and were up 7-1 with Burchard pitching in the second.
  22. biedergb
    They got two singles (Fernandez, Garcia) and a HBP (who else but Adams), and get a run on a Wood grounder (FC 3-6), but strand a couple of runners, it’s 2-1 deficit- on to the bottom of the 8th.
  23. biedergb
    Mogollon lost all control this year. As a now 20 year old who struggled first in low A, and then in the ACL The 165 player rule having an effect. He should hopefully find a team willing to take a chance on him as there is talent, and maybe a change of scenery, or a different voice can help him with consistency/location/control. Good luck to him and the others. The leashes will be much shorter for players in the ACL/A clubs with the roster limits and the influx of 30-50 players each year (indy signing, MLB draft, DSL promotions) being added to the organizational depth charts. Quick question - do the signed draft picks count to the 165 limit if they are not assigned to a club yet?

    For some kids they also want that college experience. Minors is not glamorous life and it is professional work from day 1. colege they can be the stud, party a little, and maybe hone their craft and try to win college championships (tournaments, league titles, and CWS). Obviously the money now is the key, and getting 1-2M now is always the safest decision, as most don’t improve their stock (or at least not as much) in college to come out as a $3-6M draft pick in 3 years. Odds are slim. So it may be an emotional decision to enjoy college, and some belief they will buck the trend and become the next Skenes. Wish Levonas well , maybe he will be the next Rodon (or Dylan Covey but his case was different), but odds are he will be a mid round pick in 3 years. Still stinks as I had high hopes for Meccage and Levonas being best years Knoth/Letson.
