    I can’t help but feel like Mark Attanasio would need to sell the team before we’d take on 4 years of a good-sized position player contract, but yeah I’d love to have as a cornerstone infielder for several more productive years.

    Should we claim/trade for him and retain on 26-man active MLB roster OR hope he scales through unclaimed so we can sign him to a minor league deal? Or maybe we claim, then re-DFA and hope he scales through, so we could then outright him to the minors. The games we play…

    RHP JB Bukauskaus couldn't quite earn a save, but he did deliver a 1-2-3 ninth inning to seal the 12-0 shutout victory. That 7-hour bus-ride (or maybe they grab a flight from Detroit?) back to Nashville will be loads more fun than if the Sounds had been on the other side of this shellacking.

    Make it 10! Make it 12! Watch Blackwood retire all 3 batters in an inning. Then Holub. Then LHP Nick Bennett. It's 12-0 going into the bottom of the 8th inning, all Sounds.

    For the second time in the game, a batter challenged a low strike 3 call and was incorrect - once for each team. Will MLB implement a similar system in 2025? 2026? 2060?

    The Sounds pour it on in the top of the 5th inning, adding 3 runs on 2 doubles (Collins' second of the game, Vinny Capra's first extra-base hit of the season). It's 9-0 and RHP Blake Holub comes in for his 2nd appearance of the season.

    Myers' control started to escape him in that 4th inning, then he issued a walk to Ryan Vilade to open the bottom of the 5th after getting ahead with an 0-2 count. So that's all for Myers today (4 innings, 0 runs but responsible for Vilade), yielding to newcomer 29-year old RHP Nolan Blackwood, who produced a 4.75 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 6.7 K/9 for Seattle's AAA squad last year in the hitter-friendly PCL and was Mexican League bound this offseason before inking a minor league contract with the Crew in late February.

    After Myers works around a walk and 2 singles to put up another Zero in the 3rd inning (aided by a GIDP and another ground ball out), the Sounds post a 4-run 4th inning, chasing Mud Hens' starter Brant Hurter via 2 walks and an RBI single (Patrick Dorrian), then greeting the reliever with consecutive RBI doubles (Isaac Collins and Nick Kahle). 6-0 Sounds, still in the 4th inning.
  9. Ro Mueller
    Myers worked himself out of 2-on, nobody out trouble in the 2nd inning: ground out, K on fastball up in the zone, ground out. Touched 95mph on the radar gun.
  10. Ro Mueller
    Tobias Myers off to a nice 3-up, 3-down start, needing only 12 pitches in the 1st inning.
  11. Ro Mueller
    Nashville grabs 2 runs in the top of the 1st inning; the first without needing a hit (2 walks, 2 groundouts), then RF Brewer Hicklen smashes a triple to center for the second run. Go Sounds!

    Sometimes we just want to throw a minor thought out here - imaginary trade, waiver claim, etc. Here’s one: assuming we lose C Eric Haase in the coming days and C Jeferson Quero for an extended period of time, we may wish to pick up C Ali Sanchez (now a free agent) on a minor league deal or claim switch-hitting OF/C Cooper Hummel off DFA waivers (with one option year remaining) for high minors catching depth.

    The manager is sitting one game, today.
  14. Ro Mueller
    25-year old RHP Tobias Myers makes his first AAA start since September 2022 after spending most of last season back in AA ball. He leads a Sounds team seeking to avoid a 3-game road sweep in Toledo. 2B Isaac Collins and C Nick Kahle make their first starts of 2024, while Tyler Black continues to mysteriously only DH.

    Hall was also a bit unlucky with some calls. Glad we held on for the win.

    Justin Wilson has made it all the way back. Congrats to him.
  17. Ro Mueller
    Here are 21-year old 6'4" RHP Josh Timmerman (16th round pick in 2023) and 19-year old 6'3" LHP Bjorn Johnson (12th round pick in 2023) getting starts in Minor League Spring Training. C Ramon Rodriguez's absence signals to me that he's probably headed to Nashville as additional depth.

    If the MILB pitch readings are correct, McKendry struggled with his cutter (HR, 2B, several balls, no whiffs), but was otherwise effective with his fastball (3 whiffs), sweeper (4 whiffs) and a lot of changeups (9 whiffs - many by Keston). There were also some sinkers mixed in.

    RHP Cameron Wagoner placed on High-A Wisconsin's full-season injured list RHP Tanner Shears placed on High-A Wisconsin's full-season injured list LHP Robert Gasser placed on AAA Nashville's 7-day injured list INF Christian Arroyo placed on AAA Nashville's 7-day injured list
  20. Ro Mueller
    26-year old RHP Evan McKendry (4.30 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 8.2 K/9 in 142.1 IP last season) starts Game 2 of Nashville's 3-game series in Toledo. In the field, the team sends out the same 9 position players as played most of yesterday's Opening Day loss, including LF Brewer Hicklen who reached base 3 times.

    Very rough way to start the MILB season: Quero and Shears both injured, potentially both of the significant variety. Praying for a full recovery for both players.
  23. Ro Mueller
    I think that that would essentially require Seattle to DFA Seby Zavala, which feels like too much effort. I believe we’re more likely to pair up with a club willing and able to option a catcher - e.g. Braves’ Chadwick Tromp (assuming he’s selected today to replace injured Sean Murphy) or Marlins’ Nick Fortes, I suspect we’ll have to accept whichever middling prospect either tosses at us or we’ll lose Haase on a straight waiver claim.

    These lineups are giving us some very strong, interesting clues regarding likely player placement (note: this is pure speculation), e.g.: 19-year old Luis Lara and 20-year old Dylan O'Rae likely starting the season at High-A Wisconsin(!?), leap-frogging 20-year old Luis Castillo in the process? 18-year old Yophery Rodriguez opening the season at Low-A Carolina, which could be viewed as a faster timetable (from DSL signing to full season debut) than Chourio or Lara did, although Chourio was technically younger Long-time SS Eduardo Garcia moving to outfield full-time and moving up to AA Biloxi despite his .605 OPS at High-A Wisconsin last year? 2023 second round-pick INF Mike Boeve likely opening the season at the same level he concluded last year: High-A Wisconsin 19-year old SS Gregory Barrios moving up to be the principal starting shortstop at High-A Wisconsin despite a .586 OPS at Low-A Carolina last year, with fellow 20-year INF Daniel Guilarte potentially (shockingly?) opening 2024 still at Low-A Carolina
