Bryant struggling now. Walk, single and HBP and now 3-1 count. A lot of balls. Command not there tonight. Gotta keep it a 1-run game Tyler.

Sounds win. Jay pitched into 9th and got 2 outs but bases loaded. Liranzo in and gave up 2 run double but gets the last out. Shuckers in extras and Knoxville goes small ball with bunts to get a run in.

Childers come in for Yeager and keeps any more runs from scoring. Going to 9th tied 5-5. Sounds trying for more, as the former Sound Miz has another nice start huh?

Dang. Yeager gives up 2 singles after the ominous “lead off walk”. Tie game in Biloxi 5-5 and Knoxville threatening for more….

Nitolli in for the 8th for the Sounds. Going to try to protect that new lead. Yeager on for a second inning of relief Biloxi

Wild game…. Wild pitch. And Black scores 7 run in the 7th. Oh yeah !!

Didn’t watch but Yeager went 3up and 3 down. That’s 8 IP, 3 more outs from another huge win for Biloxi. i am watching Nashville - yeah don’t do that offense - but love me them comebacks and love me wins against any Cubs affiliate

Tyler Black comes through. A bases clearing triple !! It’s a 7-3 lead. Wow. Another big comeback.

And the Sounds take the lead now 4-3 on A. Vaughn single. Bases juiced and 1 out. Black up. Good time to break out of that slump.

And once down 4-0, the Shuckers tell Cornielle we got ya. Two scoreless innings of relief. And now Pratt singles home a run and it’s 5-4 lead now!! Pratt looking better the past 1-2 weeks.

And while I watch that I see Nashville ties it up on a Mitchell hit. 3-3 game in AAA.

Murray hit clutch hits the past couple of weeks. Woo hoo. Shuckers tie it up 4-4. Roped a double to left.

It’s not hard to confuse this years DSL clubs offense with last year. Last year was a generational season with Made, Peña, Anderson along with Ortuno among others. Even some of last year’s holdovers (Lafond, j. Martinez) aren’t having the same impact. Nice to see some good pitching lines. Dinges continues to rake. Another 2 run HR as the primary offense. Burke is in a little funk. I imagine he will break out. If Baez, Areinamo, Dinges, Burke and Garcia can get going again that offense will start to win games like they were a couple of weeks back. Dinges is on a tear, and Areinamo is still hitting. So need Burke to break out again. Bitonti -it seems like feast of famine with him. Good showing tonight. And what an outing by Hernandez again. Glad the Muddies are back in the win column again. Cornielle solid but unspectacular stat line. I mean 4 ER on 9 hits yikes, but 6K and 1 BB and 5 IP, 85 pitches with 59 strikes is good. He can be a fringe prospect. I will watch again but if he can command his stuff he can be really good. Still pulling for you Alexander 😀. He got good relied so far by Middendorf (finally a clean outing) and Bowman, shuckers only down 4-3. What a walk off win last night too! Mitchell with 2 hits - any statcast data? Or anyone watch? That’s good to see. Black stuck in neutral and going into reverse is not good to see. I Cubs still all over Nashville since that Tuesday night series opening win.

Bummer on Luke Adams. I was also confused as it seemed like he got the wind knocked out, and a few posters mentioned it didn't look like an arm injury. Kudo to Javik Blake (unfortunately this time) as he was the one mentioning it looked like an arm injury on the live feed - and it did with how Luke was holding that left arm. Still an odd collision. Hopefully it is a minor injury and he can get back on the field, as he was really heating up. Get better soon Luke.

Bravo indeed. Thanks Jim

Oh well. Miller walks and Restituyo grounds out. Dang. Still tie game going to 9. See you all tomorrow.

Crap. Boeve a hard hit single with bases loaded but Adams goes back to third unsure if it would be caught. And he barrels down. Throw easily gets him but the throw takes the catcher into him he’s out and down too. Looks hurt and hoping for the best. Man holding his left arm awkwardly. Yikes. Please let it be minor oh please. Murrays ties the game with a sac fly. Up to Miller. My last at bat I think as it’s getting late. Come on Darrien let’s get the lead and get me to bed happy.

If Shuckers can come back to win, it will be do to Zach Peek. 30 pitches to get through 3 IP of scoreless relief. And 25 strikes to 5 balls. Ends the top of 8 with a comebacker that starts the 1-6-3 DP. Yoho and Peek are among the top performers tonight along with Lara.

Just watching him right now but I like what I see from Peek tonight. Glancing at his stats it’s looking good with 18 pitches, 16 strikes, 3 K and a weak grounder to third as the only hit. He looked good and may be the peak performer of the Shuckers night. And Merceds navigates around his base runners with a double play, and then gives up a hit but the runner did not put on the brakes and was gunned down a third. The bottom of the 6th stalled out there. But the Brewers offense can’t ignite any rallies themselves, stuck in neutral most of the night.

This Mercedes Renz night is not driving home a victory it seems. As Mercedes concedes more hits and runs and Az Cubs extend to 6-0 in the 6th still with no outs.

Peek looked good there. 9,pitches, 7 strikes and gets two Ks freezing the last batter to keep it 4-3. AZ crew have a runner on 3rd and Fielder up with 2 outs. C’mon Jadyn

Lara hits it up the middle maybe off the pitchers leg and he is now 3-3 tonight and his OPS is over .700 Pratt needs a couple of hits to get his OPS back over .70- after his mini slump. But he hits it hard but right at the 3rd baseman and it’s a tailor made inning ending 5-4-3 DP. Dang it. But Lara is definitely hitting well lately. He needs to get his strength and get some power and with that defense and speed he becomes a real high end prospect. But his hit tool is good, just more contact and not gap power in AA yet.

Perkins is out in his rehab start. Ibarguen bats for him, and fitting walk. The 2 hole is now 0-0 with 3 BB.

Petersen gives up the double. Ugh. Gets another out. But it’s 4-3 Knoxville. Still only 2 outs ‘In the desert Mercedes getting hit and it’s 4 hits for 3runs and still only 2 outs. Yikes Petersen gets Stevens on a nice fastball. Inning over but lead is gone too. But I feel the shuckers have more…

The long half inning while the Shuckers took the lead may have affected Petersen. He gives up a walk and a double and will need some magic to preserve the lead. Mercedes is in for Renz. Renz gave up 2 hits and a walk in the first, but only a HBP and walk after, 4 K And Mercedes then gives up a walk and a SB and then a single and it’s now 3-0 Az Cubs.
