  1. This is a very interesting read from an outsider's perspective (Pittsburgh), and really brings home how lucky we are to have had Attanasio and the Stearns now Arnold GM guidance. In case you miss it, the Brewers play in a smaller market than Pittsburgh, not sure if the write mentions that 😉 https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/joe-starkey/2024/09/19/pirates-brewers-national-league-central-ben-cherington-derek-shelton/stories/202409170093 We are lucky fans to watch this team during a 18 year or so run of success with playoffs, division champs and some amazing all star / MVP (Braun, Fielder, Weeks leading to Yelich and Adames, then Burnes/Woodruff/Peralta, and now Contreras and Chourio). By the way the Brewers play in a smaller market than Pittsburgh 😅
  2. I like the first 4 innings that KC Hunt has provided. He has been a gamer so far this year, and this first half of this game needed that so far. He has definitely proven he is a prospect.
  3. Awesome job @Joseph Zarr Definitely a bummer for the TRats seasons, but what a team that was. My favorite overall team of the 2024 MILB season. Let's hope Biloxi can keep things going. I'll be around for a few more games this year, and then hopefully rejuvenated for another fantastic MILB run next year.
  4. Yeah. Sounded like a dud start. And a quiet finish. Not how any of us envisioned this game. But the TRats are such a good talented team, and hope that tomorrow they finish what they started. Amazing to think the core of this team was in the playoffs last year (Carolina's first playoff appearance in some time, right?) and now getting Wisconsin to the playoffs again, and this time to the finals. Adams, Areinamo, Lara, Estevez; and even T Hall, Chirinos, Perez, Vargas as well).
  5. Well getting after my youngest’s tennis match and then dinner. Oof. Good night to take a mulligan I guess. Crap. Let’s hope the TRats get that one post season loss out of the way tonight and get back to the winning formula tomorrow. And Biloxi - honestly I didn’t have high expectations, so I guess they met it so far tonight 😟 I will watch more of that game in a bit to see what kind of fight they have left.
  6. That was my initial thought. Or if cleared he could get reps without the caged helmet. So agree - not a lock, but of the higher end prospects, given that he had a disappointing season that started out with an injury (some missed time) I could see that being an option for him. Really I think this year rather than just a "finishing school in the AFL". the may use it as a make up for missed time, if healthy.
  7. Is Pratt a lock? Sometimes players who played the full season do get time off, but I know it also is a time for top prospects to go and play with other top prospects. I would imagine for the pitchers it comes down to health. For the lost seasons - Woodward, Birchard come to mind if healthy. But beyond that who knows? Other position players - Hedbert Perez who needs more playing time to figure out if he is a prospect or now, and I wonder if we send a catcher (Wood, Miller) to focus on the catching game.
  8. You know I would have - but compared the others (rapid ascension up multiple levels) it was hard to put him there yet. But next year.... Yes please next year 🤞 I hope he makes that conversation with a bunch of others like Letson, Woodward, Birchard and others who have the chance to move up quickly. And RE: Shane Smith. yeah I spaced on him too. He is so close to Hunt. It is amazing how good Hunt's peripherals are : a K:BB ratio of almost 6 for the season. And recency bias - his start last night has swayed me.
  9. And Hunt - errrr Yeager 😉 gets the GIDP And Mudcats exit the playoffs tonigh, but Biloxi enters it. And TRats extend it All way better than my NFL team (lowly Dolphins got nationally embarrassed 😞).
  10. Yeah and I missed the beginning of the inning. The TV feed had Hunts name and they look similarish enough I was fooled until they called Yeagers name and I was embarrassed I mixed that up.
  11. Hunt still in. Not sure why. You’ll meet him fresh next week. First runner gets on. And then EBJ who is so good defensively tries to make the catch in RF. Sparks does not call him off probably because how good EBJ normally is, but he flubs it. And Hunt to face the next batter and he walks him. Seems like they are saying ok how much of a bulldog are you and can you close the deal. But 98 pitches??/
  12. Ben Metzinger. Mostly on the development list, played at three levels. 21 plate appearances, 5 walk. 11 strike outs. 5 outs. 0 hits. That’s a very unique line for a season.. it is almost a walk or a K, and nothing else.
  13. Well they bring Hunt out for the 6th. Single (didn’t watch), then GIDP. Then 7 pitch walk. Then high fly ball that Warren almost muffs. At over 80,pitches and 6 strong innings. Hunt likely done. Shucker sup 8-0 and three outs from winning the second half title.
  14. Who had Ethan Murray with a 3 run HR to put the Shuckers up 8-0…. ? ‘was not on my bingo card that’s for sure. Wowza. MBraves have been struggling mightily and making Biloxi look like a competitive team - which they have not done in a month or two. Wonder if they pull Hunt after 5 masterful innings to keep him fresh?
  15. Yeah that ball was hit hard and not that deep. I heard the announcer say “they are sending Lara” and was surprised but when I saw that feed and how far he was from home. I was just thinking “ugh” but at least it tied and knew Luke Adams was on deck.
  16. And KC Hunt looks like he is pitching well. Real well. 5 IP. Only 1 hit and the Shuckers now lead 5-0. With Pensacola losing it’s a win and you’re in for Biloxi.
  17. Adams, Pratt and Areinamo- if I were to predict guys with a good chance at being productive MLBers I’d start with them. Then Estevez - he is nit perfect. But is one heckuva manager. I love this TRat team.
  18. And Adams walks it off. What a ninth! What a team!
  19. Holy wildness. H Perez gets on with a hit. Lara grounder but beats out the throw so only a FC at second. And it’s 6-5. PRATT! Huge hit but the throw gets Lara at home. Pratt at second. Tie game and Adams up
  20. Adams or Areinamo are likely hitters top two based upon stats and importance to the team. I agree outside the DSL, no one else comes close to production, outside of maybe Bitonti. Hunt, Henderson or Yoho top 3. Hunt is impressive rise but not as much pure stuff. Henderson with an equally impressive rise with struggles at AAA. Yoho is “just” a reliever, but man what incredible stuff and performances.
  21. Biloxi magic number is 2 (I think) with Pensacola loss. So if they can go 2-3, 2-4 (whatever number of games they play this week) then Biloxi will at minimum tie Pensacola, or lead if they play one less game. So get a couple of wins this week and Biloxi will make an appearance in the playoffs. What they do there is completely unknown as they have been wholly uninspiring for most of August and September, but there is talent there that just seems to have all struggled at the same time (bullpen aside). Promotions (to pitchers) and injuries (Scott and Boeve) have hampered them the past several weeks. Do teams ever "demote" players for playoffs? (ie CD Rodriguez, Zamora, Shane Smith who were prior Shuckers). I doubt it - but if the Sounds are out by this weekend there could be a player or two who may help the Shuckers out, but not sure it is worth the risk from a developmental standpoint if the player is not on board. Nashville's loss last night, puts their elimination number around 6-7, with 11 games left, they almost need to go undefeated, and hope Columbus goes 6-5 or worse, and still have Indy win less than 8. Theoretically possible, but so unlikely now.
  22. Yup. But it's 1-2-3 they go down. See you all tomorrow.
  23. Meanwhile - Pensacola is down 4-1. So that can help improve the Shuckers chances this week. Although not sure what that will mean given how full of malaise that team looks and feels right now. TRats big win. Muddies - learning experience right? But it will take an incredible effort tomorrow to force a game 3. We will see. Oh yeah, Zamora stuck out on a beautiful breaking ball to end the Sounds threat in the 8th. I may call it a night - after I see if the Muddies can find a pulse in the top of 9.
  24. Bryant Ks him. And TRats take game 1 Huge! Victor Estevez team is always ready. Muddies showed what they are - fast, young energetic, but sometimes undisciplined. The batter interference call exemplifies that
  25. Castillo looks at a 93 mph right down the middle. Leaves two runners on and Ks. Ugh FredNats still up Meanwhile Pratt with a great diving catch to save the run. 2outs and runner still on 3rd.
