Muddies lead 9-0. Corniel walks consecutive batters in 3-2 counts. One down. Just pepper the zone young man. No need to nibble anything here. We have a mound convention. -
9-0 Muddies after two complete. Nice playoff tune up in Game 1 here. We had a final RBI there via WP and then a PB. The Shorebirds have broken out the DSL Orioles uniforms tonight.
-
Three errors for the Shorebirds to pair with their zesty first inning. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear Delmarva is chasing a Southern League South division playoff berth with this zesty ball they are playing!
-
Down 7-0, bases juiced. Two down. Garcia back picks the runner at 3B. You might ask: How does that happen? I have no answer for you.
-
3-2 swinging K by EBJ. K looking by Hall. Two down. Sparks to the dish. Strike one looking. K's swinging. Nice inning by those hot Shuckers bats.
-
My favorite part of the inning were Bitonti's walks. Was down in each count. Laid off everything to earn two free passes.
-
Muddies drove the starter at 35 pitches in the first. Garcia walked. Yoshwar walked. It's 4-0 as they greet the next pitcher with another walked in run. Yophery is back up to the dish. That's the 10th Mudcat. Yophery walks in another Mudcat run. Wow. 5-0 Muddies.
-
O'Rae walked with one down (Martin K'd to lead off frame). EMJ grounded out to 2B. Wilken K'd looking. 6-4 deficit headed to the top of the 7th.
-
Catillo K's on a high heater above the zone. Guilarte rips a 3-1 line drive single into LF scoring Dinges. 3-0 Mudcats. 106 mph off the bat. He continues swinging a hot bat.
-
Kuehner escapes by getting the inside check swing chopper down the 1B side. He sells out with a full front dive into the grass and throws the runner out from his knees. Heck of a play. On to the 7th. Regardless of how this game goes, you tip your cap to the young lefty for working into the 7th even though he certainly didn't have his best stuff. A 2-2 WP inside and in the dirt caroms off the catcher's glove. Bitonti scores. Runners advance. DP ball eliminated. 3-2 count. 2-0 Muddies.
-
Kuehner has re-discovered his ability to paint the zone here in the 6th. Pitch count is at 92. Just gave up an 0-2 two down single into RF through the 1B/2B gap. Next batter executes a masterful first pitch bunt down the 3B line and Warren, surprisingly, handles it cleanly with the bare hand with no plays at any base. Two on with two down yet again.
-
Di Turi walks in a run. 1-0 Muddies. Bases still juiced. One down. Three consecutive free passes. Pitch count for the Shorebirds' starter is 22. We have an early mound visit from the pitching coach.
-
If we could get EBJ's bat (and swing, that swing) just a percentage of what his defense is we're cooking with gas. His defense is an absolute premium.
-
Dinges walks on a pitch clock violation to make it a four-pitch free pass. Bases juiced. One down. Di Turi will try to do some damage.
-
Warren swings and K's on an inside heater. His roller coaster game continues. 6-4 deficit we head to the bottom of the 6th.
-
Baez reached on an error to SS. Takes second via balk. Bitonti works an 0-2 count for a walk. Men on the corners. One down. Yophery opened yet again in lead-off with a swinging K. Way too many K's for a lead-off hitter yet the org remains committed to the process.
-
Kahle sac fly to deep RF. 6-4. All runners advance. Men on 2nd and 3rd. Two down now.
-
Sparks walks em full on five pitches. Really patient eye. Several close pitches.
-
EBJ lined out to the left CF gap (just before the warning track) nice catch. Hall walks. Men on 1st and 2nd yet again. One down. Let's see if the Shuckers can make something happen. Sparks will get the first opportunity here.
-
Corniel has come out razor sharp. After the ground out he gets a swinging K. And, then the next batter sneaks a grounder inside the 1B line but Castillo charges the bounce off the foul wall and throws a dart to 2B to grab the runner. That's a non-routine three-up and three-down inning with a K. Wilken opened the Shuckers 5th with a line drive single into shallow LF. EBJ to the dish.
-
We are underway back at Five County Stadium. Corniel begins his evening with a weak ground out to the mound. Warren is in the current paradox of make the routine play look ungodly difficult. Make the difficult play look smooth and easy. He ends the frame with a really nice diving stab of a ball to his throwing side. Slides to stab it. Gets up out of the dirt and dives to tag third base before the runner. He's 2-for-4 and it is something.
-
All I can say watching these Shuckers over the past three some weeks: there is nothing clean about their collective baseball at present. It is so rife with sloppy and low energy. Very little clean crisp action. There are definitely bright spots - Eric Brown Jr.'s defense definitively one of them. (oh please, young man, fix that swing this off-season. PLEASE) and Ernesto Martinez's trending bat - and some occasional wins. But, this is a team with playoffs right in front of them. And, they just are not rising to the occasion. AND, just like that Zavi Warren butchers another ground ball to 3B. Just another routine play butchered. This after Kuehner walked a batter on four straight pitches with two down. It's really just a painful watch. So reminiscent of the first half.
-
And that's back-to-back swinging K's on off-speed to O'Rae and now EMJ. Shuckers will take their 6-3 deficit into the 5th frame.
-
Runners on 1st and 2nd O'Rae K's swinging on an inside change-up. Absolutely fooled on that pitch. Nice pitch. That's Klassen's 5th K already in the 4th. EMJ will try to go 3-for-3 and get this game competitive again. Two down.
-
Change-up inside off the plate. He wants these calls. They are all balls. Finally locates dead center on a heater and EBJ saves him snaring another absolute rocket to SS. Heck of a clean handle. That ball was absolutely smoked. They mercifully get the DP to end the frame. Needless to say, this is not the quality you are looking for in a supposed playoff push.
