As per absolute usual, Not a soul even mentions RHP Manuel Rodriguez? I know it's Single-A. BUT...even without astounding K numbers he had a ridiculous season. Third in the entire org in xFIP. If he's not injured in August and only pitching 2.0 inning stints in his two outings just off the IL, he pitches over 100 innings in his age 18 season. Sub 1.00 WHIP. Rarely walks a batter - 77:10 K:BB ratio in 94.0 IP is ludicrous for an 18-year-old (yes, I know he turned 19 on August 8th). In 10-of-17 regular season GS (I'm not counting his 2.0 IP in his first 'built it up' spot start off the IL) he pitched 5 2/3 innings or more. All of those as an 18-year-old. I continue to be shocked at how often he is overlooked. He is a 'just knows how to pitch' weapon who continually defies what one would expect given modern perspectives on what makes a starting pitcher successful. His extremely likely jump to High-A next year is definitively one of the most exciting bylines of the 2025 season for me. Given his age, that jump to the Midwest League can be extremely daunting for a hurler. Rodriguez will be a fascinating case study for this given his pitching style and tools. Anywho, carry on.

I can absolutely roll with a core of Areinamo, Pratt, Adams, and Ernesto Martinez Jr. I will go to battle with those young men and their collective skills and competitive fire 24/7 365. We have to keep EMJ in the system. No other option. Nope. None.

Absolutely true in that regard. No doubt about it. And it certainly deserves to be highlighted (and, obviously, I'm aware of this). However, when it doesn't work out and the moves backfire and, again, my opinion having watched and written about this team since Day 1, there were better options on the bench and in the bullpen...it deserves questioning and in the least discussion. I felt Game 1 was really just a series of bad luck bounces. Left Durow in too long, yes. But the game was there for the taking and if they get some better luck off the Fredericksburg bats and their seeing eye hits the result is likely more favorable. Anywho, my gripes are truly all for naught. The season is over and the team battled as best they could and came up short. Clearly, we have something in all of Payne, Molina, and Dinges. That's quite fun. I am SO SO ready for the upcoming stateside DSL wave! Bring on the Made/ Pena revolution!

When I post pre-game words in the Game Thread, the Brewers win. And so it is. This is the way.

I am still, hours removed, dumbfounded manager Nick Stanley didn't use red hot INF/OF Miguel Briceno in any way shape or form in this series. The over-investment in INF Fillipo Di Turi is awe-inspiring. Find someone who loves you like the Brewers org loves 2024 Carolina Mudcat Filippo Di Turi. He just hadn't shown any real signs of life for over two months. Going to Peina - a wildly inconsistent pitcher - to try and maintain a tie in a divisional Championship win or go home scenario over a guy like RHP Chandler Welch is beyond head scratching. You also have LHP Anthony Flores fresh at that point. Peina?!? That's your 'In Case of Emergency Innings' Break Glass guy. He isn't your 8th inning of a tie game 2 Divisional Series guy in any situation. In the end, I'm quite bummed the Muddies have exited early two years in a row. They certainly shot themselves in the foot in this two game set but I also feel their manager was not ready for the moment.

Oh man that Mehring/Lobner post-game pod is going to be lit tonight. How can you not absolutely LOVE Luke Adams. He is such a gem.
-
You know, what's wild is the Shuckers actually play the Biscuits fairly competitively.. Essentially, had they not absolutely blown their Saturday night game (?) their past series (and the 10-0ish blowout they then suffered in game 6 can just be tossed our the door) they were looking at consecutive 3-3 series splits in the second half. BUT, as we know, it just depends on which Shuckers team shows up.

^^ This is an AI edit. Fake news! Fake news! That was the Brewers' Jason Lane filling in during the ninth inning.😁
-
I will put down C Ramon Rodriguez as our best Catcher from Low-A to Double-A at present. This has nothing to do with what you wrote but I'm in the feels! 😅
-
Run faster, Luis!!!!
-
You quit soiling my sweet Prince! The crowned jewel! 😅
-
OmG!!!! T Rats WINNNNNNNNN!!!!0
-
My baseball gods the Rattlers tied the game and Adams has a two out chance to walk it off! Whewwwww. It's 6-6! Man on 2B.
-
With these ugly playoff developments in Carolina and Wisconsin, this may be a nice pick me up. Considering the outlet, kind of a huge deal:
-
Which version of RHP Bayden Root do we get? Lead-off single to RF followed by a WP. Ruh-roh Raggy! No bueno.
-
Eduardo Garcia trying to do too much strikes out on four pitches. Quite over-zealous on an inside pitch outside the zone to go down swinging. He strands Rodriguez at 2B. 4-4 and we head to the 9th.
-
Dub Dub to LF and Pratt crosses homeplate! It's a 4-4 game!
-
OMG Ramon Rodriguez!
-
Man, I love Pratt SO much. Just an absolute Gamer. Opens with a walk. He is not afraid of the moment in any way shape or form.
-
Rund escapes. Big money bats upcoming. Pratt, Adams, Areinamo.
-
And, just like that Rund Loses the tie. Two out walk. Two out double. Sigh. 4-3 River Bandits. And, yes indeed, it was ruled a dub but Vargas completely butchered his read. Man, we were seeing some brutal defense by the Mudcats and now Vargas throws his hat in the ring.
-
Just walked Roccaforte with two down in the 8th. The tension is palpable!
