    The economics of baseball were way different in 1992, but still yes, the organization has generally been one that acts like a small market, but the current owner and the organization in general is much more likely to at least invest money into drafts, draft picks, complex amenities etc as those are investments that can pay off in spades much later. The 1990s did not see real investment into player development, etc and such there was such a black hole from 1992 - 2007

    Wow! Great memory, it was in fact June 25th, and from your Link Report write up: Since that time he is slashing .233/.305/.380, which is not great but respectable, and he was at .158/.252/.297 at the time.

    He is adjusting fine early on to AA. He was in a slump before the promotion (from ASG break until his call up really), but this is what we were expecting. Hoping to more of this this last month of affiliated ball. I would love for Blake to force his way into the AAA/MLB picture next year. His Shuckers mates are not so hot recently - Lara not hitting well and has drawn only a few walks recently. Pratt who has been streaky (good April, poor May, great June, poor July) is due for a good month, but not showing it. I really feel he needs to repeat AA, which seems like such a let down for a guy who was talked about (OK not seriously, but mentioned) as the next 20 year old to make the team a year after Chourio, and much of that was hyperbole and writers going with early impressions and Pat Murphy hot-takes, but a AA/AAA year and maybe MLB next year seemed like a possibility, but he does need a bit more time. I don't know if I will watch Wichrowski start tonight - maybe - but seems every bit the typical has talent but walks, pitch counts and too many hits that has plagued him most of the year.

    After a miserable few games in May, and awful June, Anderson has been respectable in July and now August. When was that at bat @Joseph Zarr - I mean you may have nailed it on when his season started to turn around. He still has a lot of swing and miss particularly on the offspeed stuff, but he is also so young, can't expect every 18 year to hit the ground running in low A 😉 Yes. He is on a little heater recently with XBH. Still Ks too much, and is 19 still - will be 20 in the offseason, so has time. But he just misses some pitches that he should hit, and the hole needs to be closed and we have a stud in our midst. Both of these two guys have a lot of potential - Bitonti can absolutely be a 3TO player if he could mash in the strike zone which would lead to more pitches away and he has gone stretches without chasing too much. His is not the chase from what I've seen but the swing in miss in zone. Anderson has enough power to go along with speed, and solid defense where he can be CF or RF. He chases, but that can also be improved with time.

    Joseph was lamenting on Stanley’s managing of pitchers in late/tight games, and it was brought up that a lot of that is pre-determined, well to which this reply was meant (I think) for Joseph to say yeah but we still are in the moment during the game thread and look at every player, manager not through the development lens but through the “let’s win tonight” perspective, and this a-plies to us fans too. Probably because you are the most notable fan and have been at the Mudcats games he referenced you, I’m guessing. That’s how I took it. Bullpen management yesterday was the tipping point, with Reyes struggling and left in, and Bjorn Johnson being left in too long, it nearly cost the first game, and did cost the second game

    Not going to watch the T-Rats right now. May come back to see what happens later. Shuckers win was clutch. The Muddies late lose was difficult. Overall some nice outings by several Mudcats either pitching, defense of clutch hits.
  7. biedergb
    And after that Bitonti takes a borderline pitch (looked low given he is 6' 5") as strike 3 The Anderson misses and Ks swinging to end the game. Shoot so close to a comeback win.
  8. biedergb
    Aaron Rund has completely invited Peoria back into this game. Both runners of Birchard score and he has the bases loaded with only 1 out. Yikes. 4-3 TRats lead still.
  9. biedergb
    Encarnacion just hit that ball into the right field corner, and man how did the RF track it down, that had double or triple off the bat written all over it, but hung up some I guess. Nice running catch to rob Handelfry of an XBH. Dang it. Bitonti up now.
  10. biedergb
    OK. well after those two hiccups. He strikes out the next two on 3-2 counts. OK then. It's a 2 run deficit. Do the Cardiac Cats have it in them to make a comeback with a 7th inning rally?
  11. biedergb
    Birchard was throwing a no-hitter through 5 IP. Wow, but the 4 walks and a run allowed seem very Birchard-like. He gives up a hit and a walk in the 6th, and he is out making way for Aaron Rund
  12. biedergb
    Ummm. Not quite. Two wild pitches (although one is at least on Garcia the catcher). But it's 8-6. Dang it.
  13. biedergb
    FredNats come back to win their game tonight. So a lot on the line here. If the Mudcats can somehow complete the comeback. Johnson still in, maybe last batter as the pitch count goes to upper 60s. Let's go Bjorn!
  14. biedergb
    Bjorn Johnson in his fourth inning of work, and giving up base runners. He may exit the game soon. Still tied amazingly after the Mudcats have rallied from 6-1 down
  15. biedergb
    Grounder to Burke. Out #3, and Bowman closes it out. Shuckers beat Smokies, and a Cub affiliates loses!
  16. biedergb
    Is it just me or has Tyler been the creator of runs recently.....
  17. biedergb
    Bo Bowman on to try to keep the game close after Manfredi conceding a run in the 8th. 4-2 Shuckers still lead. Did someone ask for a great KC Hunt outing?? Well you would not be disappointed. He gave up a hit (finally) but 6 1-hit scoreless innings for the 2024 co-pitcher of the minor leagues.
  18. biedergb
    stepping away for a bit. Will check in later
  19. biedergb
    After a wild pitch it's a bloop hit Hillcats get 2 runs. Mercedes is pitching well. Not bad for his low A debut. Not sure how much longer he will stay in.
  20. biedergb
    Tyler Rodriguez had a beautiful catch in the 2nd or 3rd of the first game to help out his pitcher Torres. Unfortunately Ibarguen doesn't have the same left field magic and can't corral it. Two men on in the 2nd.
  21. biedergb
    Bitonti Bomb!! That is #17 for Eric. When he makes contact good things usually happen. But a huge 1-0 lead.
  22. biedergb
    OH look another DSL starter for Mudcats. Mercado an eventful start yesterday. Torres with a beautfiul gem today. Now Miqueas Mercedes making his debut for low A.
  23. biedergb
    High chopper in front of home plate and KC Hunt makes a nice play and throw. Next batter just got under it and a high fly out to left center. Phew. On to the 2nd. 3-0 Shuckers.
  24. biedergb
    Sure. Can we give a shout out to Walther. Nova has a 0-2 count, non-competitive pitch and then a foul, and he has a quick word with him. You can imagine him saying just throw it in the zone as he can’t hit you. Gets the K in that pitch. I may be wrong but feel Yannic just willed that pitch out of him. Maybe I’m just partial to a fellow German 😂
  25. biedergb
    Up the middle through the drawn in infield. Walk off win. Nice And it’s Reyes who gets the win 😂 and Torres not factored in 🙄
