  1. That’s actually the usual schedule, ending the first half half-way through a random 6-game series. They play 132 games - 66 in each half. But the season-opening series is always 3 games (starting on a Friday), so it screws up the math and makes the schedule look funny.
  2. Yeah, T-Rats have clinched. Get your t-shirt!
  3. Down East lost 4-0 and Lynchburg fell 7-6 (despite scoring 5 runs late), so Carolina’s magic number drops to One Game. They’ve got 5 games from Tuesday-Thursday next week before the first half ends. Likely feeling good going into next week despite some hiccups this week.
  4. SS Eric Brown Jr. (exited Friday’s game early) is healthy and back in AA Biloxi’s lineup as they aim to even their home series against Tennessee 3-3. RHP Shane Smith (5 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 5 Ks on Tuesday) makes his 2nd start of the week.
  5. RHP Alexander Cornielle returns from injury for High-A Wisconsin, which can clinch the first half division title with a win at West Michigan or a Cedar Rapids loss.
  6. LHP DL Hall makes his 2nd rehab start of the week, as AAA Nashville tries to end a rough week at Gwinnett on a positive note.
  7. Low-A Carolina has dropped 3 straight at home against Fredericksburg, so needs a win behind spot starter RHP Cristofher Carrasco to salvage a series tie.
  8. It appears that 21–year old RHP Cristofher Carrasco is Carolina’s spot starter today. He’s only averaged 21 pitches per outing, so this is an interesting choice. I wish RHP Hayden Robinson had gotten the call from ACL ball, but he may be injured for all I know (last pitched June 6).
  9. That’s a real rough loss for Carolina, who’d finally grabbed the lead in the bottom of the 8th inning. Having entered Thursday’s games with a Magic Number of only 3, that number is unchanged 3 days later (though it’s unclear to me who would win a tiebreaker with Lynchburg). Manager Stanley’s choice of Harrison Durow for the 9th (last pitched June 12) wasn’t a surprise, though he might have preferred recently-reliable Aidan Maldonado (last pitched June 13). Complicating matters is the fact they’re essentially out of starting pitchers for the week. 18-year old Manuel Rodriguez threw 93 pitches on Tuesday. If he’s healthy, don’t be surprised if 18-year old Hayden Robinson (last pitched June 6 in the ACL) gets promoted and starts.
  10. A 2-out dumped single (69.8mph exit velo) was followed up by a 2-run opposite field blast to tie it up off Patrick in the bottom of the 6th inning. Nashville and Gwinnett are now in the 8th inning, still tied 2-2. What an outing by Hendo. My goodness.
  11. Recent signee INF Adam Hall (starting at shortstop; EBJ exited early yesterday) singled, stole a base and scored in the 2nd inning, then knocks in 2 more with a single in the 3rd inning. Biloxi is up 5-0!
  12. Low-A Fredericksburg brings in their 4th 24-year old pitcher of the night to try to close it out. SS Cooper Pratt has singled with 2 outs. We need a Luis Castillo bomb, trailing 6-4.
  13. RHP Harrison Durow was handed a 4-2 Mudcats’ lead in the top of the 9th inning. but couldn’t close it out. Two doubles and two HBPs tied the game and were followed by a back-breaking 2-run single. The Good Guys suddenly trail 6-4.
  14. After Yhoswar (K) and Briceno (fly out) were retired, a balk scores Reidy Mercado (running for D. Garcia) and then Jose Acosta singles home Walling. 4-2 Mudcats. To the 9th we go.
  15. 1B Mike Boeve gives Biloxi and Logan Henderson an early lead:
  16. Nashville still hasn’t gotten a runner in scoring position, but they’ve taken a 2-0 lead on C Eric Haase’s 108.2mph 2-run homer in the top of the 5th inning, scoring DH Wes Clarke (who’d singled).
  17. Now it’s the Mudcats’ turn to have 2-on, nobody out in the 8th inning (David Garcia single, Walling HBP). Yhoswar, Briceno or Acosta need to come through.
  18. Wow did the Nats blow that one! They try a sac bunt, but Figueroa gets the out at 2nd. And then C David Garcia guns down a steal attempt which didn’t trigger the runner at 3rd base breaking for home. And Figueroa gets an infield pop out to escape. To the bottom of the 8th we go, still 2-2.
  19. Carolina put 2 on (Yophery walk, Pratt single) with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th, so Fredericksburg brought in a 3rd 24-year old pitcher and he induced a Castillo groundout. Now resident old man RHP 23-year old Jeferson Figueroa gives up 2 singles to start the 8th inning. This is trouble. He’d retired 4 straight before this frame. Still a 2-2 game for now.
  20. Chad Patrick’s solid as usual (4 shutout IP thus far), but the Sounds have yet to even get a runner to 2nd base. 0-0 thru 4.
  21. …and the Nats replaced one 24-year old pitcher with another, who retired Castillo (pop out) and D. Garcia (K) to strand 2 baserunners, though only after a throwing error allowed Jose Acosta to scramble home and tie it up. 2-2 thru 5.
  22. Trailing 2-1, an error and a walk (Filippo Di Turi) to start the bottom of the 5th inning open the door for the Mudcats. Will the Nats pull their 24-year old starting pitcher now? Let’s go Carolina!
  23. Knoth exits at 74 pitches after 4 innings, so 20-year old LHP Anfernny Reyes enters in a rather big spot in his 2nd-ever Low-A game (poor first outing: 3 BB, 1 HBP among 6 batters faced).
  24. Trailing 2-0 and with just a lone single (from C David Garcia) thru 3 innings, RF Luis Castillo steps up to hit homer number 10. Mudcats still trail 2-1, but hopefully this sparks their bats. https://twitter.com/CarolinaMudcats/status/1802105068193550343
  25. 22-year old RHP Logan Henderson makes his 2nd AA start for AA Biloxi (5 IP, 0 R, 3 Ks last outing), as they try to get back into their home series against Tennessee, trailing 3 games to 1. A middle infield of SS Adam Hall and 2B Zavier Warren was not on anybody’s bingo card for 2024, but injuries have made it so.
