  1. Made as possible MVP in the DSL - Sweet! Yophery back in action - YES! Estevez magic back for the TRats - Double YES! Best winning % in all of MiLB - hot damn And Boeve is back - oh my goodness. Triple YES! Am I ready to watch some games tonight - welp if work allows me too, then yessiree. Oh what's that .... KC Hunt is pitching tonight. 😍
  2. Logan Henderson is a lock. Coleman Crow will be interesting - we may have to protect him to not let another team pick him up and let him rehab and keep him for free. Although I know there are rules about the # of games played and if on IL then they have to be active the next year? Shane Smith is one that I have close to a lock since he can be a reliever in the bigs right now. The others are a long shot - Patrick looks good so we will see. The others are unlikely to stay on a big league active roster for 1/2 season.
  3. I think how good the draft was last year set expectations super high. And factor in some good signings in 2021 and 2022 it seemed like something was going to happen this year. But most teams don't have amazing drafts multiple years in a row, you hope for a great class every few years, and surround it by some very good classes. This year was a lower year talent wise and the chips didn't fall. Levonas has high expectations on himself and good luck to him but the odds are not in his favor. Brewers took a gamble, and swung and missed. I think we were so enamored with how they got Bitonti and Pratt last year when the pundits said they wouldn't sign that we expected him to sign, or maybe the Brewers scouting department thought they would convince him too. The IFA class has been so good in it's first year - and you have to factor that in. 2021 was a game changing year - Chourio, G. Barrios, Areinamo (IFA), Frelick, Black, CF Rodriguez (Draft) and Shane Smith (UDFA) 2023 could be as well with Pratt, Bitonti, Wilken, Boeve, Yoho, Knoth, Letson etc (draft) Y. Rodriguez and DiTuri (IFA) and KC Hunt (UDFA)
  4. Wow Renz and Dubanewicz account for a lot of the remaining balance. But enough for one more right?
  5. Wow I thought he was already on campus and one of those in the definitely going to college category. Surprise. Still would love to see 2 more signings.
  6. As posted over at BCB - Levonas is not signing: https://www.baseballprospectjournal.com/chris-levonas-declines-brewers-offer-opts-for-college/ So that leaves Nunnalee, Malamazian, Wech and Brummel as unknowns I hope we can get two of those (Nunnalee and Brummel are my favorites, but I have historically had a very bad track history with the draft picks I get excited about, Dane Artman, Brent Brewer, Jake Gatewood among a few that I was so excited to see they signed... ooof)
  7. The #68 pick needs to be signed, so we can rest assured that will be used on an overslot player. But with a high compensation associated with that pick, and multiple high selections, like this year, the team will have a larger pool for signings again next year, so they can try to work the magic of getting as many higher ranked players, rather than all out for 1-2 top picks. Or maybe they pivot and next year go with 5 high end players and give them their slot or above slot deals. GBB
  8. Per baseball savant his fastball was 92.8 - 95.5, but mostly 93.x - 94.x range. He had 12 swinging strikes of his 74 pitches. So outside that first inning he was decent. Encouraging I think.
  9. Yeah DL Hall had a tough trip through the order the first time but mid second inning was pitching well The defense giveth (Black nice catch as mentioned in left) and taketh (brutal miss on the “single” in the first.)
  10. Mudcats walk off, Shuckers come from behind win and signing Broughton have made my day today.
  11. That “walk” was a swing called a check swing by the third base ump. Very close. Looks like he swung. But I’m also very biased
  12. Walk off win for the muddies. My feed went blank. But looks like ground out then sac fly scores Adamczewski. 9-8 shuckers trying to hold on with Yeager pitching the 9th. One out. Then a 12 pitch at bat results in a walk.
  13. Well. Interesting bottom of 9. After the Castillo double, and DiTuri fly out. Baez reaches on an error. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Bitonti hard hit ball to 1B, who apparently may have stepped on the bag, then threw home but no one running. Mudcats and Bitonti thought he reached on a FC, but umps agreed the first baseman stepped on the bag. Then Adamczewski grounds up the middle and nice play by their 2B to get him. On to extras….
  14. Looks like a less than stellar outing for young Eniel Cortez. Did anyone watch DL Hall - or data on his velocity and/or movement. Box stats are ok, but not awesome: 5 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks 5 K in 5 IP. If I don’t fall asleep too early I will try to rewatch his outing.
  15. Well that RusShane Smith pitched 7 strong innings tonight. i for one support the Smith piggyback
  16. Dang the lead doesn't last long. 2-1 Cubs back on top of TRats Not much going for the TRats but Lara 1-2 with the 2B, and Adams (HR) carrying all the offense. Line up misses Areinamo. But I guess this Pratt player who they had to call up may be an OK player ;)
  17. With the money saved I would hope a few players were enticed to sign. Quantity is the key - you want quality but since injuries, development etc can’t always be predicted it’s safe to go for a bunch of talented players and see who develops, stays healthy. if very few day 3 picks sigh then the draft is like the trade deadline - a dud.
  18. Yeah but Wiemer is an asset. Cost controlled, good defensive and has some chance of higher offensive ceiling. That is something many teams want. So Wiemer or Junis for Montas makes sense, but 2-for-1 and nothing else coming back (cash, or PTBNL, or a lower level prospect). Very very curious. DL Hall may come back as a 'pen arm (to replace Hudson) and Mears/Ross replaces Junis/AAAA call up innings I guess. Montas to join Freddie/Rea/Meyers/Civale as the starting 5. Wilson back as swing man. IDK Oh well. Let's see how this all ages.
  19. Estevez and the same core of players (Lara, Adams, Areinamo, Vargas) are why the TRats are the top team in the MWL. They play sound baseball, and the team has a very team first approach. Most teams want to be like that, but I tell you watch the TRats play this summer and you will see the little things - good defense, taking a pitch to get a walk or get extra pitches, put the ball in play, try to take the extra base. Aggressive but not crazy. And yes the talent is there, but the cohesion from playing two years together and from a solid manager is apparent with this club.
  20. That is 18 RBI for the month .... but 14 of those in the past three games WOW!
  21. Mudcats - nice - offense is alive today. TRats hold on. After building the 5-2 lead in the 10th, they had the bases loaded (a stolen base led to a IBB on Hall) with one out, and grounder to pitcher who goes home for the 2nd, then a fly out (or grounder now I can’t remember), and the bases are left loaded. Roots was not sharp, but Costello goes K and grounder and slams the door. big Win TRats!
  22. Bayden clearly struggling. First batter gapped into RF that Lara tracks down. Then a single to bring in the run. Then a walk. Winning run coming to the plate. Root already at 40 pitches. And Chase Costello enters. 2 on, 1 out winning run at the plate. Let’s go Chase.
  23. Root holds serve. Works around a Garcia error, and we are off to the 10th in Beloit.
  24. Castillo may be our second best power / HR hitter in the organization. Not overly big, but he does provide the Mudcats with that power element.
