Absolutely. I've been thinking about this a bunch lately. Our best complete SS in the system is quite easily Cooper Pratt (barring unforeseen meteoric rises from Made and Pena). BUT, he's at least two years away from consideration by my eyes. EBJ just isn't ready - despite the plus defense his swing is an absolute quagmire at present that just does not play at the MLB level (let alone Double-A). It's going to have to be a group effort but you just can't replace his clutch power bat. It's a bit of a unicorn. Despite his ongoing defensive woes (which seem quite fixable and silly), his bat is so absolutely colossally huge for the offense. That just doesn't grow on trees. -
Agreed. Hence, patently insane. I can't make all that much sense of it. AND, yet, for the most part the results are there. It's been such a confounding season as a whole. And, yet, here we are.

The Brewers have allowed the third fewest runs in all of MLB baseball. I find that patently insane given the nature of this 2024 season. I mean, that's just incredible. The offense on the other hand? Teetering at Top 10. Still entirely too streaky for my liking. Tonight a prime example. Big five-run inning and then nothing. Man, I miss healthy Yelich so much. He was a rock in this line-up. He is sorely missed.
-
That's a shame. He writes some absolutely fantastic stuff. I can separate the two as he has deep roots with Baseball Prospectus - he's a Head. I just found that particular article and headline borderline hilarious. It was such a silly thing to proclaim.
-
Careful, you might get a Trueblood article tomorrow telling you how that was unquestionably and unequivocally the correct and only decision.🤭
-
Yeager goes 1,2,3 and the Shuckers hold on 4-2. With the M-Braves beating Pensacola the Shuckers hold on to their 2.5 G lead on the playoff berth. Big win.
-
Holub has not only not allowed a run in Double-A. BUT, he's also inherited 9 runners allowing only one to score. He's been a major cog for the Shuckers bullpen.
-
Smith went 1-2-3 in the 6th. Then gave up a complete goose snort oppo bloop to shallow LF over the infield and miraculously to the grass to start his 7th. Smith then misfires a throw to 1B as a pick-off. I can not tell you the number of times I've seen a Minor Leaguer misfire a quick turnaround throw to 1B. He got a line out to Sparks in RF - runner held. He then got the second out on a weak pop out to EMJ at 1B. In an 0-2 count to the next hitter he missed low and in the dirt. Then a foul down the 1B line into the stands. 1-2 count he elevated a slider to the upper corner and it was lofted enough for an RBI single to CF. It was 4-2. He then gave up another single to LF. Walked the next batter. Bases juiced with two down and that was when Holub got the call and shut it down.
-
Martinez Jr. absolutely scorched a 104 mph oppo jack off the building past the fence. Just a dart. AND, WIlken drew the walk before the AB. Love it.
-
Last night was nice. Tonight was really nice. The long ball and he has played absolutely fantastic defense at 3B. This really needs to become the norm. Obviously, he's not going to hit long balls every night. BUT, hard contact; good swing decisions; and plus defense is what we are looking for. We need to start stacking these into the playoffs. That's my hope. All the talent is there.
-
Castillo knows he was robbed of a two-run jack earlier. He shrugs it off in the 8th. He rips a no doubter over the RF wall well inside foul territory. A pure missile and a huge insurance run. 4-2 Mudcats.
-
Wilken is playing a fantastic 3B tonight. You love to see it. Clean glove in two key spots. Just threw out the lead-off in the 4th on a deep hard hit chopper. Got their quickly. Grabbed it cleanly. Turned and fired an accurate dart to grab the runner.
-
The Knights inexplicably bring in a lefty to face 1B Wes Clarke. He proceeds to rip a 1-0 line drive single into the left CF gap. Plates two more. 9-2 Sounds.
-
Sounds are adding on in the 6th. A HBP RBI for Arroyo and a Walk RBI from Black. 7-2 Sounds. Pitching change is coming. One down. Bases still juiced.
-
Sparks. Solo jack over the LF wall. Another Sparks rip. He's been the most consistent offensive presence for at least two months. 100 mph rocket 378 feet. 2-0 Shuckers.
-
Nava does it again. Just another clutch RBI poke. It's all he does. Love him. Just love him as a player. Rips a single up the middle infield with the infield in, one down, and Owen Miller standing at 3rd. 5-2 Sounds.
-
Wilken snags a hard hit liner to his glove hand side to flash leather just a half inning after his line drive HR. Fantastic early going for the young man!
-
Wilken turned on an inside slider that came back over. Solo rip. His 16th. That ball was scorched. You love to see it. 104 mph dart. 366 feet over that LF wall. 1-0 Shuckers. Two hard hit balls last night. HR today. Let's get away from August STAT! Woot woot!
-
He digs deep and gets the swinging K on a high inside heater that arm side runs above the zone. Fantastic pitch. He escapes and will look to bounce back in the next frame with a cleaner inning.
-
Kuehner is going to likely have to get this batter or risk being pulled. 1-2 count. Pitch count is approaching 30.
-
Kuehner is already running into trouble in his first frame. Just walked a batter in a long 3-2 count. Pitch count at 25. Bases juiced. Two down. Hopefully, he can dig deep here and escape. 0-0 game.
-
Another oppo rip from none other than muh man Isaac Collins. Hardest hit ball of the inning by muh ojos.
-
Miller and Dorrian hit consecutive bloop singles (RF and CF, respectively) and Hicklen crosses. 2-2 game in Charlotte. Runners on 1st and 2nd. One down.
-
Ground out to 1B. K swinging. Fly out to Garcia in LF in a 1-1 count.
-
He also said: "I think you know in my time as a Hillcat I don't get excited about foul balls. I definitely don't get excited by opponents' foul balls." 😅
