OK. I saw that Miller was in on my phone and panicked, so sounds like all was well with Woody, and maybe he won't have an extra off day (with the double header next Monday), give him a little rest given pitch count and the score I hope 🤞
The shuckers season turn around coincided with his demotion to join them. He has not been as productive as his first few weeks but yes he can be a spark plug and has solid defense. Not to mention some slick moves at the plate 😀
I have to admit I have been sleeping on Broca (well the TRats for a month or two now).
Is this velocity real - solid lefty reliever and spot starter material
Not an expert but I think many are higher on Made because of the tools- he has some serious exit velocity and power potential and plays a very good if not great defense. He has adjusted to better pitching but has had some issues with Ks this year but not more than any young player and he is so young. So the ceiling is higher.
Pena is a good defender but prone to more gaffes, and has a better hit tool with a great swing but maybe not the power potential, but he has wheels .
I love both for those reasons. If they do progress and stay healthy and make it to Milwaukee I see Made at SS or 3B if he has to move for a Pratt (or Ortiz/Turang who can potentially play elite SS defense). Peña I see at 2B, or maybe even 3B but he can cover SS and I suspect even CF but that’s a projection since I’m not sure he’s done that.
Man in 2023 I remember dreaming on Miz and Chourio and hoping they succeed. Both on the IL right now but yeah they are ok. I would love to dream on these two young players in 2-3 years from now.
It is Broca back out to close it.
Gelof just missed a HR just under it a little. Broca went to his knees thinking it was out. Nicasia at the warning track and it’s a huge out #1.
Broca gets his 4 th K. Solid outing for him. Nice job
Now if we can get some insurance runs.
(The line up will look much much different with Fischer, Dinges, Made and Pena, and maybe a call up, and of Hedbert can get on one of his patented heaters)
That’s 5 straight Ks by Mexican high A hurlers (J. Broca get Hope last out, then Ibarra Ks all 3, and Broca gets the first man swinging).
Streak broken with a pop out.
Not many can make Made look like that. This Ibarra has some heat for high A and has movement. Struck out the side. 23 year old in first taste of high A. His stats are not that great but not a lot of innings past 2 seasons maybe coming back from injury but he had some stuff.
All domestic affiliates (ie non-DSL clubs) so far have won, pending Wisconsin to try to keep it undefeated.
Yikes Dinges throws to second better but not great and Pena couldn’t get in front of it.
Runner at 3rd. 4-3 TRats lead. 2 outs. Need to keep the runner at 3rd. Let’s go Broca.
Not dominant lines. But solid starts by DeBerry and Travis Smith, nice for ‘24 draftees who move up, giving solid innings. Both could be inning eaters with K potential, nice to have that depth.
Houdini act by Peek. Kept it ties after 4 straight hits. 6-6. Shuckers up to try to walk it off.
i didn’t watch but grounder with force out at home, pop out and then I saw the liner out to LF. Nice job. Wish it was only 1 run, but just makes it more dramatic with a walk off right?!?
Peek gives up a hit and it’s 6-6. Still no one out. Yikes. Not a great outing for Peek who has been good,
But Nova gets two outs for Carolina to try to close it out.
Heading to top of ninth in Biloxi. Leading 6-4. Gotta get three outs
Mudacts trying to add more - but not yet - a called strike three on DiTiru it was a borderline call and it’s 2 outs now.
Awful call. Peña goes home on Dinges grounder and he seemed to beat the throw not sure if the hands touched the plate but wow another close call and not sure if I agree. Chris Mehring is now convinced so maybe he got him but still very close. 4-2 TRats still. Perez up and Dinges on first
Cooper Pratt with a HR. I didn’t see but 2 run shot.
Hot dang. Peña with a nice night (just stole 2nd and going to 3rd yessir), Dinges and Payne back. Burke hitting and Fischer debuting tomorrow
‘AND if (just IF) Pratt can get hot oh boy wow that would be so so nice
Made with a big walk. Then Peña up and first pitch is a balk.. not sure I saw anything but makes up for the questionable call earlier and in other games too. Run in 2-2
Two pitches later and Pena singles home two. Nice high A start for Luis.
