Swinging K to end the threat. 2-0 deficit. Could have been worse. Should have been better. -
Yup. Gotta know the limits. That ball was an absolutely covered inning--ending groundout. Trying to do way too much and in every situation it is backfiring.
-
Chopper to the mound. Deflects off Corniel's glove over Guilarte and past Di Turi and into CF. Man. Just let that ball go. Young mistakes early. Ugh.
-
Hey now! K looking! Let's GO! Pitch count still very manageable. Now the Nats bring the Carolina League RBI leader to the dish.
-
Come on Daniel. DP ball here and the damage is minimal.
-
Yup. Bad throw home. He has the arm there but likely doesn't have the play. Gotta go to 2B and prevent further damage. Mudcats giving two free bases early is not a recipe for game one success. Hangs another. Single to CF. These are all just really poor pitches. If I'm Stanley, I'm already considering pulling Corniel. When you don't have it. You don't have it. They already have a seven-run on your starter in the past month. He's hanging pitches.
-
He put the runner at 2B with a ridiculously lazy inaccurate throw to 1B. Proceeds to hang a dead center cut lazy breaker over the heart of the plate. Another 108 mph smack up the middle. 1-0 Nats. This is ugly early.
-
Welp, bad Corniel early. Just hanging everything. Dang.
-
Corniel's heater catching a whole lot of plate here early. 103 mph fly out to CF. Corniel then throws the ball into the RF foul wall on a ridiculously bad pick-off attempt. Jeeeeze.
-
Lead-off man is aboard for the Nats - line drive single to RF. 108 mph smack. Belt high. Dead center.
-
Hey, giving Clemmey an elevated pitch count early is a small victory. 21 pitches. Dinges goes down on a very weak lunge whiff on a low outside heater. 2 swinging K's.
-
I mean, you know I thought that ball went into the RF corner so I wouldn't trust my eyes on the tag there at 2B 🤭
-
Yeah, the throw was really good. Obviously he got a favorable bounce. That was a rope of a toss.
-
Baez reached with a misplay on the gather by the Nats' 2B on a slow roller. Bitonti works the count 3-1. Upper zone strike. 3-2. Bitonti K's on a gorgeous inside upper zone 97 mph heater. Come and get it or don't.
-
LOL. Yeah. AND, I think he thought there's no way he gets to that poke. AND, I would politely opine even tho the throw clearly beat him Yophery's slide beat the tag.
-
Yophery rockets a 2-2 liner down the LF line. Tried to stretch a double (looked like it should have been given where that ball went). Vaquero threw a very accurate bullet, however, and the ball beat him. THO, it certainly looked he beat the tag with via the slide. Ump was shielded behind 2B, however. Momentum right back to the Nats. AND, the ump is giving Clemmey pitches off the low zone to boot. One down. 1-2 to Baez.

A trumpet is blaring the Natty Anthem in Fredericksburg. We are approaching first pitch. Let's GO Mudcats!!!

Couldn't agree more. As the weekend wore on and this week began I felt pretty good about where the Packers landed after that debacle. There were plenty of positive signs despite the ugliness as a whole. That field was an absolute abomination (seriously, how many times are we going to see this in professional sports - it's truly unbelievable what these organizations get away with when it comes to playing surfaces). There were all sorts of miscommunications goings on in the headsets, apparently. The referee and broadcast crews were some of the worst in the entire League. And, all that being said, that result was absolutely toe-to-toe. Could have gone either way. Honestly, I probably came away most disappointed with the collective play of the D-Line. They are supposed to be a big strength of the defense. I felt they were largely a let down.

Honestly, I'd personally start Briceno over Di Turi but that's just me. Di Turi has not been good with the stick for some time. Let's hope he is sharp tonight and throws his 1-for-19 September line in the dumpster. For reference, Briceno is not only one of the more versatile players on the Mudcats team but he is also 10-for-20 in September. Just a better player at this juncture. AND, this after hitting 0.290 with a 9:7 K:BB ratio in 62 August AB's. Di Turi, in August: 0.177 with 20:14 K:BB ratio in 79 AB. And, this isn't me just stat pulling game logs. I watch these games. Di Turi isn't playing confident and he looks timid at the dish. Briceno is confident, sure of himself, and executing while playing smart but aggressive. Regardless, the decision is made. Here's hoping for the absolute best result for All.
-
Dinges being back in the line-up is just awesome. Dodged a bullet there. Let's hope he rips some bullets off that bat! Let's get some of that vintage Dinges 100 mph + rocket launch.

IF we eliminate RHP Daniel Corniel's silly 7-run blow-up inning back on August 7th @ Fredericksburg - if any of you recall, he took a comebacker off his arm and remained in the game. Entered that fourth frame up 7-1. Finished that frame but left with zero outs and the Muddies trailed 8-7. It was such a weird inning and a total meltdown after that come-backer. ANYWHO, that's really not the point here. IF we eliminate that outing, since the calendar flipped to August Corniel has actually been quite good: 5 GS, 24 1/3 IP, 18 H, 10 BB, 21 K, 4 ER. That's really solid especially considering he became the #1 after RHP Manuel Rodriguez suffered an IL stint. I imagine manager Nick Stanley is hoping he can get a solid 4 IP tonight and then he'd hope to have all options at his disposal - leave a humming Corniel in for an inning or two more or tap into his better bullpen arms. Either way, the outing back on the 7th was truly more an anomaly than anything else. We can only hope there's no lingering psychological cobwebs given Corniel is returning to that same park and that same mound.

Misc. Minor League Alumni News & Notes
Joseph Zarr replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Who could forget? I believe we saw the best hybrid Alvarez work of any ball club: -
The scheduled starter for the Quad Cities River Bandits is talented RHP Ryan Ramsey. Ramsey has faced the T-Rats offense four times this season before today - all as a River Bandit. How has he fared? Game 1: 4.0 IP, 1 H, 2 HB, 1 BB, 3 K, 0 R Game 2: 5.0 IP, 3 H, 4 BB, 4 K, 1 ER Game 3: 5.0 IP, 3 H, 1 HB, 1 BB, 6 K Game 4: 2 2/3 IP, 5 H, 2 BB, 4 K, 5 ER - the only runs scroed vs. Ramsey over the past 6 starts 😬 Needless to say, RHP Alexander Cornielle and the T-Rats offense will need to bring their 'A-Game' to Quad Cities tonight. The River Bandits have played the Rattlers extremely tough of late. This is going to be a very challenging series for manager Victor Estevez and his squad.
