    So Bitonti and Nicasia go a combined 2-10 with 8K, but Nicasia had the HR, and Bitonti with the early double. Adamczewski and B. Diaz both 2-3. And Adamczewski with a triple and 2 walks.
  2. biedergb
    Mr. Nicasia with a no doubter to RF. HR # 1 for his young season. Muddies extend the lead to 6-3 in the 8th.

    Dang the Sounds bats came alive as they plated 10 runs. CRod with an effective start 4IP, 2R (1ER), and 4K with 6 H and only 1 BB. Then later Miz came in - and threw 3.2 of the last 4 IP - he had 66 pitches to get through those innings and 4K, 4B but no hits and no runs allowed. Nice tandem there with Mears throwing the middle inning and Easton McGee getting the final out.

    Hodges did not look sharp in his next inning and gave up some walks and a big well hit double that led to 2 runs, and then Reyes comes in and balks in a run. Tanner Gillis has looked sharp but bailed out by defense (nice throw Mr. Walling) and has himself in a pickle in the 8th with bases loaded, and he gets the K. Heck yeah! Nice debut by Mr. Gillis. 3 IP and pitched scoreless and got himself out of a jam with the help of Reece Walling. Bitonti doubled in his first at bat then 3 straight Ks. Oof. Back up again in the 8th with a runner on.... EDIT: and he watches strike 3, his 4th strike out. Man not a good night after his first at bat.

    The Meccage tonight - Bryce looked good. In command. A hitless 45 pitches to get through 4.2 IP, with 2K and 1BB, and several ground outs. Definitely looked like he belonged. His FB was 92-95, and max was reported at 96. Offense got going early with Pena and Bitonti get some big hits in the first. Hodges came in for Meccage tonight and got out of the 4th inning.

    And Peek gets a grounder - force out at home, and then a long at bat getting the K looking. Peek did a good job to keep it close. Nice debut by him. Now the O has to get going. I am hopping off and will catch the box score later. Nice start by Letson and some key hits by the O, but so far not enough, but got a couple more opportunities to get the lead back. CHeers

    Sanchez's day is over. He got an out on a grounder to Burke (nice play by him) which scores a run. But the next batter walks the bases loaded again. Down 6-4, and Dikember had 30 pitches with only 8 strikes Peek is in making his organization debut. Let's see what he can do being put in a tough spot, bases juiced and only 1 our and the top of the order.
  8. biedergb
    Offense goes quietly again. This is a theme. Sanchez up and starts out promising getting to a 1-2 count. Then 7 straight balls and two walks. Ooof. Gotta get dialed back in Dikember. We need out, no more runs please. And a mound visit (no surprise) to get Sanchez back on track I hope. But nope 3 straight balls and a gimme strike then a HBP, and bases loaded. 16 pitches and only 4 strikes. Bases juiced no outs. Oh boy EDIT: another wild at bat. Wild pitch and a walk. Another run in. 21 pitches and only 5 strikes. And a ball to the next batter on the first pitch. Dikember has absolutely no command today. This could get ugly very quickly. They need to get an out and maybe get another reliever in soon to keep this respectable.

    Not a lot in the bottom of 6 - Yophery did leg out an infield "hit" - not sure if he would have beaten it out, but the 1B did not field the throw cleanly, so error vs hit? Generously called a hit, but good for Yophery to leg it out and make it close. FLores back out for his 3rd inning of work, and gives up a single. Need to keep them off the score board. Will probably see more bullpen arms soon. Flores gets the next out with a 7 pitch K. His pitch count is now 39, gotta figure his last batter or two - with the top of the line up now back up again. Gives up a single, and a mound visit and Flores given the chance to get out of the inning with Dikember Sanchez ready. WP and runners on 2nd and 3rd. Let's get this out .... which we did but it went to the second baseman a runner scores. But 2 outs, so a chance to keep it tied at least. Man that wild pitch cost a run otherwise that would be a DP. And then a wild play - a snap throw by the catcher to third, and gets away, runner would have score except it was called batter interference on the throw, so the runner is back to 3rd base. Flores completed the inning with a K. Phew. Unfortunately it is tied, but at least they did not give up the lead. So the hitters need to get their bats going here. C'mon TRats.
  10. biedergb
    Flores in for another inning. A quick out - nice play by Baez whose D at 3rd has been good. Then a long at bat and a walk. A 3 pitch K. Then a dribbler up the 3rd base line that never curved foul, so an infield hit, but the next batter hits is deep and Y. Garcia with a good read and it there in plenty of time. On to bottom of 6, still up 4-3. Flores has done his job, now the BP needs to find 9 more outs, and the offense could make their life easier with another rally or two please?
  11. biedergb
    Grounder to 1st by Baez, and Areinamo scores, and Burke to 2nd. Tie game. Yes.. And Garcia time - with Eduardo up and he hits a double that just misses a homer by a few feet (wind blowing in). Either way, the lead is here, now 4-3. Yes. Luis Castillo is now up and he has not looked great today, so let's see if he can change that. Of note the 3XBH by repeat T-Rats (E. Garcia x2, Areinamo).
  12. biedergb
    Let's go T-Rats Areinamo with a double. The a 10 pitch at bat by Burke, and a WP gets Areinamo to 3rd, Burke draws a walk. Now it is up to Baez to see if we can get a tying run across. C'mon boys
  13. biedergb
    Flores in, and after a 9 pitch battle with the #9 hitter, he gets him out. Then two quick outs (one was a well hit ball that Yhoswar makes a nice run to get at the warning track). So on to bottom of 5, and a new pitcher for Cedar Rapids. First pitch Yophery grounds out.
  14. biedergb
    A Garcia rally - Eduardo with a double (first XBH for the TRats this season), then after Castillo grounds out, Yhoswar with a single up the middle for an RBI. Then Yhoswar steals 2nd and 3rd. But Guilarte strikes out. And David (the 3rd Garcia up this inning) is up and then .... strikes out. OK well, They got a run back, TRats down 3-2 still.
  15. biedergb
    OK, after a couple of hits allowed, Root finally gets the ground out for a force to end the inning. Disappointing half inning there as Letson just lost command, and Root gave up some hard contact (and soft contact too). Needs to offense to work through the April Wisconsin cold here, and get something going.
  16. biedergb
    Welp. Root gets 2 strikes quickly, but then a couple of pitches later and Doncon just crushed it. A no doubt HR to left center. 3-1 for Cedar Rapids. Letson with 2 ER, after cruising through the first 3 innings. Need to limit the damage here. One more out on a grounder to Baez. Need to get another out here. ..... And then offense needs to get going.
  17. biedergb
    Oof. Given a lead, Letson is losing his command in the 4th. Sruggling. Now at 60 pitches with back to back walks and a few pitches missed badly. EDIT: and after the second walk, he is out, with 1 out and 2 runners (both via walks) on base, and Root is in.
  18. biedergb
    HBP, bloop single by Yophery, walk by Areinamo, and then another HBP to Burke and it's 1-0, but Baez grounds out to pitcher. On to the 4th.
  19. biedergb
    Letson was solid through 3 IP. 4 K, 1 H. 43 pitches. And it is "Garcia Day" for the T-Rats as Eduardo, David and Yhoswar all in the line up. But nothing going for the TRats offense still. Really nothing since 1st inning last night. Let's get some hits and base runners please?
  20. biedergb
    Will defer to others who can recall. I thought he was up to 90-91 mph max last year. If he can get to 92, with that poise, command, spin and off speed stuff he can play in upper levels for sure. EDIT: I reviewed BA prospect report on M. Rodriguez, and to paraphrase (info for subscribers) is that he pitches 88-90 and max was 92, which is what I recalled, but has high spin, and has slider, cutter and change up, with the slider being a very good pitch. And you will get the same info from the post game report for 4/4: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/timberrattlersreview/episodes/Manuel-Rodriguez-Announces-His-Presence-With-Authority-e314mki So IF he can get his velo up a few ticks (think 92-93 with a max of 95) then you have a solid mid to back of rotation pitcher. But that's a lot of IF in that sentence. He is 19 years old by the way, in high A. EDIT#2: OK, as I'm reading these reports again, it makes me feel so old that when I see a lot of the Brewers pitchers with fastball velo of 91-95 as average or below average, boy I remember the late 90s and early 00s when our pitchers (not named Sheets) were all 89-91, and those who hit 95+ were high end. Now its 95 average, and 98+ as high end.
  21. biedergb
    I hope he doesn't but that is for good reasons, and hear me out. First off - he hasn't had much consistency or pitched deep into games, Out of 44 career starts I counted about 10 total where he went 5 IP or more. Several were of the back to back variety with multiple inconsistent or shorter starts in-between. So that should be his primary focus if he were to be a MLB starter. A call up in the next few weeks would likely be for bullpen role. But the bigger reason I hope note is since he is not on the 40-man right now, then the main reason we would bring him up so soon in the season would be for multiple injuries, so I hope that does not happen. I would rather the Milwaukee pitching staff get some health back (Mears, Quintana could hopefully return in the next couple of weeks for example, with Woodruff, Ashby, Civale all on the 15-day IL as opposed to Hall). If he can take a step forward in the next several starts, and maintain it, I would absolutely love for Miz to force his way for a call-up, but right now an April/May call up would seem like it would occur out of need and I hope the big league club doesn't create more holes/needs and gets guys back healthy.

    First of all - awesome job it is so nice to see a Full Minor League Report. Baseball is back :) So I read this - and with a full week of Nashville vs Gwinnett, the Stripers were on your mind 😂, but I went to look up Pensacola's team name and found some interesting info in the Wikipedia page including that this franchise is essentially the same as the Carolina Mudcats (complicated business deals in the Wikipedia link), and that a Wahoo is a fish, which is all I was trying to learn, but check this out for the team's complex history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pensacola_Blue_Wahoos This doesn't completely explain it - as the double was in the gap but I think could have been caught by the RF (Nicasia) who looked like he took a bad angle and the ball went right over his glove. Not sure how hard some of the hits were as the camera angles were pretty poor for some of these hits, but it seems a couple of his infield hits allowed were either not fielded well or solidly hit. He did have the batters off balance once he settled in during the 2nd/3rd inning. And thanks for the shout out on Dinges comments - he did look good - and boy I hope he is OK after that HBP on the hand.
  23. biedergb
    Wow. I guess I didn’t factor that in - pretty talented arms there.
  24. biedergb
    Looks like a solid win in Zebulon by the Muddies. But that may be it for the minors tonight. Biloxi went quietly - Pratt and Wilken at least had hits. Didnt' watch any of that yet. The TRats looked good with Rodriguez and the offense had traffic in the first 2 innings with the chances to strike, but did not and then essentially went down 1-2-3 most every inning from the 3rd on and have the last chances now in the 8th inning down 4-0. Nashville seems like they just somehow let that game slip away, and the winning pitcher was our old friend Enoli Paredes.
  25. biedergb
    Manuel Rodriguez was what he is, very composed, in command mostly (had a long 4th inning), but outmatched the hitters who are no slouches (a lot of high '23 and '24 picks for the Twins). His offspeed seemed to fool the hitters, and his fastball was effective even if only 87-88. He is young and it is early April in Wisconsin, so I hope that he may have more velo in him. He could survive with 91-93 mph with his offspeed stuff and command and poise. Very impressive as he looks like a starter - except for that velo on the FB.
