  1. And Guilarte pops out, and what should have been a foul but that wind keeps it in play and the 1B catches it, one down for TRats. And Vargas up - needing to redeem himself. Lets go Jheremy!
  2. Well after giving up the lead, and fly out to left that falls between Garcia and Vargas, and then an out. But Figueroa walks the next batter, and former 2024 1st rounder Tommy White up. And a line drive right to SS E. Garcia right place and right time. Only a 1 run deficit. Down 4-3 going to bottom 9.
  3. That wind to left field giveth and taketh away. Inning after Jadher launches a homer into that wind, Garcia just could not launch it enough. The Lugnut hitter gets to left and Vargas can't get to it and it's a triple. Dang, then a BALK! The lead is back to the Lugnuts. Yup - ready for it .... Lansing gets the lead back, oh nuts! EDIT- dang it - I can't get the LF right. First I thought it was Hedbert, then said Garcia, but it was Vargas. Ugh I'm fielding as well as the TRats OF right now. 😩
  4. And Garcia gets away with strike 3 call that is called a ball, with new life he launches it to left, but just gets under it too much and a deep fly out. With Wood on base, Hedbert GIDP to end the inning and rally. Dang, what a chance at a big inning. But Jadher gets the TRats new life.
  5. And Areinamo homers to tie it up for TRats - alright Jadher! EDIT: Watched it. He just smoked a mistake. Pitch was belt high and a no doubter, 105 EV off the bat. Two pitches earlier he had a pop up to the left foul line that just went into the seats, and he had new life. Then a ball low by Breault (pronounced "Bro" and the announcer is having fun with that), and the pitch after that just smoked. Huge hit. Tie game 3-3
  6. I give credit to Wilken and his approach, and he rewards me with a bad K looking last night, and a 0-3 evening with 2 more Ks. OK Brock, you are relegating back to the 'no prospect' list again for me. Apparently that's true for most of the Shuckers - looking at you Luke Adams, and well Lara has 2 hits tonight per the box score. And EBJ - you lost prospect status .... well about the time you joined Biloxi. Biloxi - its the black hole where prospect status gets sucked in and lost forever, unless you have the shear force of a Chourio to escape it's gravity. And what is going on with KC Hunt - I will watch his performance tomorrow probably, but he has not looked like the pitcher we saw last year in terms of outcomes/performance so far this year. Maybe too much expectations. Sigh
  7. After retiring 10 straight, Meccage hangs a breaking pitch that was hit deep to left center and Payne cannnot catch up to it - it was very well hit. Runner on 2nd, and they take Meccage out as he is approaching 60 pitches (55 pitches). Still nice to get to the 4th inning, ties his career high (3.2 IP)
  8. Who had DiTuri out-OPSing and out-slugging Bitonti after the first 2 weeks of the season, and with more HRs too? And Bitonti ain't hitting too bad (way way too many Ks this season so far) but still hitting well and he had a double in the 1st inning.
  9. Dinges is definitely athletic and looks good behind the plate, and I only caught a few times where he had to throw (attempted pickoffs, and the opening night caught stealing), but the arm looks good. His glove work and blocking is lagging, but not surprising since he was not catching as much. I think with time he can definitely develop, and his bat is potential plus.
  10. There is truth and humor in that statement. From a ceiling, athleticism and raw tools standpoint, yes. Enough mixture of raw stuff and productivity at a young age to be optimistic. I suspect a few of these young kids will make it, and while I want all of them to, realistically 2-3 max.
  11. So this does bring up a question I have wondered - projection and velo gains. A guy like Rodriguez who can pitch so well, probably doesn't need the 95 mph to be successful, but I can't imagine he gets past AA/AAA jump without some velo in the 91-92 range. How likely is someone who is still a teenager to get that type of a bump? I know going from 88-89 to 95-96 is highly unlikely, but is 88-89 to a 91-92 jump possible? Common? we hear of guys who have these types of things happen in college, and not sure if is purely from growth spurts, and I don't know that there is much more growth on this kid as he is not a skinny kid, but could add some muscle possibly.
  12. Some time last August he seemed to click and has continued this into this year. I hope this is not the super fast hot start (like last year in Carolina) and more of a sign of his progression. His struggle at high A last year was real until about late July through late August when he found his stride and seemed to approach each at bat with more purpose. He can swing, and should have the power as he teased in the 23-24 Australian Winter League. If those homers start to come he will put himself on the prospect sheet for sure. With regard to the pitching side - can you imagine a Manuel Rodriguez-Wande Torres piggyback start some day in the future? Talk about contrasting styles. Both very talented in different ways.
  13. What was said about that infield defense. Ball up the middle and a nice play that looked routine, but was not for Pratt. Ranges to second base and good throw to get the runner. Good defense tonight. Not a ton of offense, but walks and few timely hits and two big errors by the Barons. So its the Sebuckers tonight, right???
  14. Big Strikeout by Yeager. Out #1. That's 27 K in the first 2 games for Biloxi pitchers 😳, with 2 outs left here in the 9th. And EBJ with a catch of a pop up, out #2 in the inning and #26 in the game. So that's 27 K of the 53 outs so far. One more to go ...
  15. Wilken Ks on a pretty breaking ball looking. He knew he missed it (EDIT: meaning he knew he should have swung) Then Miller grounds out. And up to Adams, big spot Luke c'mon Luke and he hits it HARD but right at the CF. Dang Well it's a 4-0 lead going to bottom of 9.
  16. See put the ball in play. That is not Brock Wilken at 3rd. Is it fair to say that Barons 3B got "eaten up" by that 😉? The error scores two. Nothing crazy, but Pratt puts it in play and good things happen. Alright 4-0 Shuckers.
  17. Big spot for Cooper with bases loaded. And he has 2K now on a big cut and whiff. No need to do too much Cooper just get the ball in play.
  18. Wow. Schweitzer who shut down Biloxi for 5 innings, exits and we have a dribbler that becomes a infield single, and Spain then walks, and now a WP. Shuckers have something brewing her (see what I did there). And it's now ball 4 to Lara, and bases are juiced.
  19. OK. I watched it as I was going through the earlier innings, and it looked like a bad hop he misplayed. I didn't rewatch it, but on the first watch looked like something he could have handled, but if it was a bad hop then that's mea culpa, sorry Brock. Either way he had a heckuva play to save that last half inning, and possibly the game.
  20. It is a good defensive infield with Adams who is athletic and handled 3rd, and then EBJ at 2nd base that is a very good defensive infield overall.
  21. Wow. Wilken was eaten up earlier this game on a "single" in an earlier inning. (edited) But just redeemed himself with a great stab on a ball up the line and a good throw to get Gladney who has speed. What a play. He is a third baseman.
  22. Manfredi losing his command. Get the first out. Then walks a batter, and the 3 straight balls to the next batter. And he walks him on 4 straight. Ugh. Not what was needed. Barons had 8 straight retired between Kuehner and Maciejewski, and now 2 men walked. Need to buckle down young man.
  23. And Ball Game! Zamora a cleanly fielded ball up the 3rd base line and a long throw to the splits machine, Mr. Ernesto Martinez Jr. No problem. Out #3. And Sounds are 9-7. Nice come from behind win there. Team effort.
  24. Seigler with a nice play at 2nd to get the force out. Odd that he plays 2B and catcher. I haven't seen him catch much, but he looked good at 2nd the few times I caught him It's Manfredi time in Birmingham for the Shuckers trying to get the last 6 outs before the Barons get back into this game.
