  1. After 4 walks and an HBP in their first 8 batters (but alas, no runs), it’s C Nick Kahle who delivers the first big hit! 2-0 Shuckers early:
  2. 20-year old SS Cooper Pratt makes his AA debut as Biloxi aims to stave off elimination in its Best-of-3 Division Series at Montgomery. RHP KC Hunt (quite possibly the Brewers’ Minor League Starting Pitcher of the Year - 2.12 ERA with 139 Ks in 102 IP) gets the critical start. Go Shuckers!!
  3. To the offense's credit, they pushed across 4 runs in the middle innings to take leads of 3-1 and 4-3 on a homer (Roller), 2 doubles (Arroyo, Clarke) and 2 singles (Mejia, Black). However, Arroyo had an error to lead off the bottom of the 6th inning, when CF Rodriguez really needed the defense's support to get through his final inning of the season. Two hits followed to tie the game 3-3 before Roller's 7th inning shot. Then MLB 40-man rosterees RHP Elvis Peguero and LHP Tyler Jay combined to allow 5 runs in 2 innings on 4 hits and 4 walks, so the Sounds fell 8-4 to drop their third straight game of this week's series. I would guess we won't see Peguero until 2025 Spring Training and Jay's hold on that 40-man MLB roster spot may be tenuous given the pressure to protect other players from free agency or the Rule 5 draft. Of course, we traded respectable 5th year RHP TJ Shook for the 30-year old Jay, who'd been outrighted before, so we probably acquired him with the intent to transform him in the pitching lab this offseason. I assume we've tasked him with throwing harder than he had in Syracuse (6.5 K/9 with a 30 K / 4 BB ratio) given the spike in strikeouts in a short Nashville sample (11.2 K/9 with a 19 K / 8 BB ratio). His velocity peaked at 95.2mph today.
  4. SS Cooper Pratt promoted to AA Biloxi from High-A Wisconsin SS Eric Brown Jr. placed on AA Biloxi's 7-day injured list
  5. - INF Owen Miller activated by AAA Nashville from temporarily inactive list - C Andy Yerzy activated by AAA Nashville from Development List - C Brian Navarreto placed on AAA Nashville’s 7-day injured list - RHP Logan Henderson placed on Development List by AAA Nashville
  6. After 2 walk-off defeats in Norfolk yesterday evening, AAA Nashville is right back at it this afternoon, led by 22-year old RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez (4.58 ERA with 125 Ks in 123.2 IP). SS Vinny Capra has a 7-game hitting streak and is hitting .381 in his last 63 PAs.
  7. It’s an interesting decision. In 2018, Tyrone Taylor and Dylan Moore were eligible for free agency and the Brewers added Taylor to the 40-man MLB roster but not Moore (and thus lost him to Seattle). This feels similar to me. If we don’t add EMJ to the 40-man MLB roster, he may well scan the market in search of an MLB contract this winter. He’s about 7 months older than Taylor was in 2018 and has yet to play in AAA, but the plus defense and top-notch exit velocities make this a tough decision.
  8. Phenomenal job as always Joseph. We really appreciate your knowledge and passion. Hopefully Biloxi grabs two shocking wins at Montgomery, which could put you write back to writing a report or two next week. It all starts with KC Hunt tonight!
  9. Tough to win a series against left-handed hitting Lake County if you only have Manfredi available for one game and Molina (first appearance in High-A) as the only other LHP on the roster. Needed Brian Fitzpatrick. Good night all.
  10. Navarreto and Roller knocked in 3 runs as Nashville comes back to take a 4-3 lead in the 4th.
  11. Atta boy Lara! 2-run single with Pratt up to the dish next. Will Lara steal here?
  12. We’re 1-for-13 with RISP, with Yophery getting the only such hit. Down 6-2 after letting Hall bat (and K) then pinch hitting Chirinos for a fly out. Garcia hit by pitch for the 2nd time. Can Lara knock in some runs please?
  13. 6-2, 2 on, nobody out against a LHP. C’mon Tayden.
  14. Areinamo with another double. That’s why we needed Pratt or Adams to get on last inning by any means necessary with 2 base runners already on. Perhaps a tough lesson as Pratt swung for the fence and Adams swung at the first pitch.
  15. Nice to see Cruz eventually adapting to effective relief. It was not easy for him early in the year. Now that his role is more clear, I guess he’ll work to add velocity by next spring if possible.
  16. Really need Adams and Areinamo to come through here.
  17. The homer came after an injury time-out for the batter and pitch clock re-set which may have also thrown off Sanchez’s timing, with Wood showing the whole world that he wanted a high strike. Felt ominous and may have then ruined the whole frame from there. Wish Sanchez had just fired a ball intentionally to let the weird moment pass.
  18. Maybe Manfredi’s not available, but that seems odd as he’s been pitching every 3-4 days with regularity. Dang it
  19. You’d think someone might whisper to the announcer that Birchard is a RHP and definitely NOT the lefty struggling on the mound. Although I guess it would explain the struggles…
  20. With so many left-handed hitters in the Lake County lineup, I’m hoping LHPs Molina and Manfredi can cover the next 4 innings or more if necessary.
  21. After going 0-for-5 with RISP and stranding 7 in a tough 2-1 loss in the first game of their doubleheader at Norfolk, AAA Nashville calls on RHP Taylor Clarke (4.71 ERA with 51 Ks in 65 IP) to handle Game 2. Campbell, Navarreto and Dorrian enter for Rodriguez, Mejia and Arroyo.
  22. Things are going poorly now. 3-up, 3-down in the 8th for our Timber Rattlers. Eduardo, Tayden and Jheremy are due up in the 9th, trailing at least 4-2. Biloxi got O’Rae (walk) and Miller (error) aboard to start the bottom of the 1st, but a Wilken K and Martinez GIDP left there with nothing except their 5-0 deficit.
