I love this for Wes. Good on the org. He had suddenly fallen way down the org depth chart. He goes to an org needing 1B depth. This is a win-win regardless of the compensation. Tho, I am obviously curious to see the comp.
Words can not describe how impressive this T-Rats game has been.
NOR Brock Wilken's 18th HR as I type over the LF wall. 106 mph. Shuckers back in front 4-3.
Peña with his second fielding error at SS tonight. That's his 8th and 9th errors? Both slow rollers. Error one far 'worse' by my eyes. This second error in the 8th was a classic 'I got eaten up by the bounce and my eyes on a slow roller off the base of my webbing'.
And Kuehner gave up a squibber for a bunt RBI single. He gets the K. He then hits a batter on the lead ankle. Ooof. 3-3 game. Bases still juiced. Two down.
Braylon works a 3-2 count for an oppo single. Love his work tonight. Yes, he has a K. BUT, on a filthy inside breaker. He has a triple. A single. And a walk. This is the best Braylon game in weeks. Love it.
Kuehner gives up a deep gapper triple to the left CF wall (maybe a 2B with advance). Beautiful gather by Lara and a gorgeous relay from Pratt but the base runner slid just under the tag - the relay from Pratt was collected 1B side. Maybe if it is 3 feet toward 3B line it succeeds. Either way, 2-1 Shuckers headed to their half of the second.
Dorchies is trying to work around a two out goose snort into very shallow RF. Bitonti was just charged with a fielding error on a pick-off throw to 1B. man on 2B. Two down. 3-0 Mudcats. Top of 7.
We will know this as 'The Yhoswar Game'. My goodness. 7-2 T-Rats after he turns a gapper (failed throw home) into a three-bagger. After that incredible diving grab in deep right CF. They'll rule that a 2B. He advances on the throw home. My goodness. Best T-Rats 5 1/2 innings ALL season. And it really isn't close considering the team they are playing.
Dinges got the memo: Hit it hard and high to RF tonight in West Michigan. Just absolutely ripped a sky high double to the warning track. Murr came in and then just got eaten up as the ball almost hit the wall. Amazing.
Meanwhile, the Shuckers are up 2-0 on a balk and a Lara single. Pratt doubled to the deep left CF gap earlier.
DeBerry after that early hiccup to lefties has been dynamite. He struck out his last batter of the 5th twice. Ump blew a K looking on an inside breaker. Gets the swinging K on a slider. Gorgeous work.
Jadher!!!! Two-Run BOMB over the LF wall. After Baez expertly worked an 0-2 count for a very patient impressive walk. Man, the T-Rats through 4 2/3 innings are sublime tonight. What a game.
Eduardo!!! Amazing diving grab in deep right CF. WHoaaaaaa! Holy cow. Eduardo!!!!
EDIT: I have a case of the Garcia's. That was very much Yhoswar. HECK of a grab. Truly. Worth the look. 1:51:10.
Catcher has his foot directly on the plate. Come on man. Ahhhhhhhhh. Man, tough luck. He slid right into that foot. I don't begrudge the call having seen it though I do not like it. LOL.
