2024 Minor League Transaction Thread
Joseph Zarr replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Dude. DUDE!!! -
The best part of tonight's debacle? BOTH Mississippi and Pensacola lost. 😂 SO, the Shuckers just go about their business as if they're actually trying to win baseball games and get into a post-season. Business as usual. Nothing to see here. 3.0 G lead over Mississippi and 3.5 G lead over Pensacola. Javik, bless his professional heart, will put lipstick on this pig. But, for those of us who watched that late-inning failed execution across the board? We know what's really going on in that Southern League South division playoff 'hunt'. It's OK to speak that truth. We're all adults here. These men are professionals. It just isn't pretty in any fashion. IF these Shuckers get into the playoffs they are going to have to find a magical potion to help them play fundamentally sound baseball. Because, we just haven't seen it but for a two-to-three week stretch to start the second half. It is what it is at this point.
-
Well, gents, have great rests of your nights! That one was, I don't even know. @biedergb nailed it spot on. There are no words for what I just witnessed. I've seen truly inept Shuckers baseball this season. That ending took the Blue Ribbon. It was...just...I would expect that in the DSL. In Double-A? In a playoff push? Just no. Absolutely no.
-
Fundamentals. Fundamentals. Fundamentals. You have to make the easy plays routine. You have to make the difficult ones look easy. This is why you are a professional. Big moments showcase big time players. The shuckers only big time player was pinch run for (inexplicably, I might add) in the 9th inning. Ugh.
-
Not only did Hall and Sparks just let that ball fall between them with not a single one of them taking initiative to own that play, Wilken and EBJ are just ball watching the misplay happen. SO, Wilken hasn't covered 3B. The runner took off, predictably, and Sparks panic throws a one hop rocket to 3B and Wilken can't get to it due to the runner. Ball sails into 3B foul territory. Walk-off. You literally couldn't write a more metaphoric and emblematic ending for this team. So much to digest from that unbelievable inning.
-
RF Lamar Sparks with his absolute cannon of an arm has to own that pop fly. He has the beat on the ball. He has the throwing angle. Just an unbelievable classic Shuckers loss. Here's the picture of the season for you:
-
OMG these Shuckers. Unbelievable botch job to lose this. UNBELIEVABLE. What is this a high school game? You can't make that loss up. Truly indefensible (pun intended).
-
I should add a run crossed. 3-2 Shuckers. One down. Execution matters in big moments gentlemen.
-
I'm back. Nothing he can do on that weak contact dribbler. Got back in the count. Got a swing on a low heater. Just a weak chopper that died and EBJ tried to make that bang-bang play. EBJ then sails a DP high to the diminutive O'Rae (who hesitated in his cover to boot - not playing solid D late). Runners on the corners. One down. Sheeesh. These Shuckers.
-
Fittingly, I have to go read my 6-year-old to sleep. Here's hoping the Shuckers pull this one out. Come on, men. You can do this.
-
Woessner buckles down. Falls behind 2-0. Gets a K looking and a K foul back to the netting. Gets the weak liner hit directly into a deep shift by O'Rae shadowing 1B (lefty bat). Easy flare line out. We are on to Extras.
-
O'Rae follow up his 0-for ongoing woes by getting absolutely eaten by a routine one-hop liner right to him at 2B. Have no idea what he was thinking in that misplay error but it was not a good look. Can't give free base runners, young man. No way not in these scenarios with a pitcher who has struggled all season. Give him confidence. Sigh.
-
Woessner with a filthy K for the second out. That may be the best pitch I've seen from him all season. Zesty!
-
Really don't understand the decision to pinch-run EMJ there after the stretch double. At all. He's 18-of-23 SB on his season. He is the hottest player on this team by a country mile. He gives you everything at 1B defensively. What, for a nominal speed advantage in Hall? Not a fan of that move at all.
-
I did not have an RHP Aaron Rund 2/3 IP, 7 H, 7 R eighth inning on the Bingo card tonight. No, I did not. Get this out of your system young man. This T-Rats team is going to need your sharper self in the playoffs. He has been extremely consistent all season that's a really odd one.
-
Kahle. Oh Kahle. Flails at a slider. Reaches at a high outside heater and oppo line grounds out to 2B. New pitcher young man. You can't be swinging at the first pitch. The previous pitcher just threw 8 consecutive balls and walked three straight. Classic. Undisciplined.
-
EMJ broke this puny closer. He broke him in two.
-
He gets ahead 2-0 laying off high inside and low inside. He takes well inside 3-0. Whewww baby. Come on Zavi. We have a TIE GAME FOLKS. And the bases are still juiced. 1-1 game.
-
He walks! Bases are JUICED. Whewwwwww. It's up to Zavi Warren. Can he find a clutch poke?!?
-
Takes it full high and outside.
-
2-2 count. Sparks just took a massive rip on a dead center cut 94 mph heater and missed. Whewwww. That was a pitch for Sparksy to mash.
-
Wow. Ump gives EBJ the benefit of the doubt on a possible K looking. He works an 0-2 count full and takes the free pass. Sparks up. Also, this just in: EBJ has changed his pre-swing set up. That is brand new as of tonight. Simple basic stance. I LOVE this. I sincerely hope he keeps this into the last week. Gotta simplify.
-
AND, they pinch run for EMJ. Fascinating choice.
-
EMJ delivers (of course he does!) with a gapper drive that is cut off in left CF but he stretches it into a double and is in scoring position. He is AMPED. Man, I love him so much. Up to EBJ for the biggest moment in his vastly disappointing offensive season.
-
Wilken with a very uncompetitive K looking. Sigh. It's up to EMJ.
