Middendorf on to start the 9th and the sloppy Sounds play keeps a coming. He gives up a flare bloop single to LF. He then walks the next batter on a toss to the backstop. Yikes. He gets the DP but then proceeds to walk the next batter on four pitches and hits the next batter to load the bases. This is ugly Sounds baseball, folks. No getting around it. Ugly game tonight. -
Hudson. What can you say? He is hung out to dry by the shoddy defense of his SS and he doesn't flinch. Strikes out three straight to escape without any damage. Amazing. Nobody down. Men on 2nd and 3rd. Zero flinch. Almost threw 30 pitches for a guy supposed to be taking a break. Touched 92 mph several times.
-
The scorers ruled that a double? Amazing. 😅 I have so many contentions with the scoring the past two nights it isn't even funny. That was an egregious error by Zamora zero ?'s asked. He misread the ball initially. He misplayed the situation. Went to back up a roller that was clearly his responsibility. So over runs it and then falls on his kiester and misses the grounder trying to reach back and it's a double? Just capital NO.

LHP Bryan Hudson is on the bump. He gives up a bloop parachute single to RF to start his evening. He maxed out at 89 mph in his first AB on the lone heater he tossed. Again, I opine: not what the Brewers are looking for. He opens up the second AB with an 88 mph ball inside. Ball 2 outside at 80 mph. Touches 92 on a straight four-seamer. Strike 2. Touches 92 mph again on another heater in an identical location. Misses another slider outside - count is full. 85 mph delivery on the outer black and it's fouled off down the 1B line. 92 mph yet again and it's fouled back in the same location. Mixing speeds. Not getting the swing and miss. Broken bat ground ball and Zamora inexplicably over-runs it as Dorrian lays off. What he is doing there I have absolutely zero idea. That wasn't the 3B ball. That was ALL SS. He over-ran it maybe going into a back-up position for some reason? So ugly. 2nd and 3rd. Nobody out.
-
Clarke takes a dead center cut heater at the knees looking to K yet again. He swung and missed on a change-up the pitch prior in a 3-1 count. Ugly game for these Sounds bats. Lotta poor execution in the clutch and the power bats are yet again not on line. Sigh.
-
Sounds have two runners aboard in the 7th yet again. One down? Black lines out to LF. Can Clarke redeem his earlier K and his poor back-up defense? Big moment.
-
Jay leads off the 7th with a 3-2 delivery to a lefty (Koperniak) who rips his 19th HR down the RF line. This Nashville ballpark is absolutely lifeless and these Sounds are giving them much reason to be feeling joy. Slow, lumbering, relatively lifeless 6-3 deficit. And the Sounds have Columbus trailing by 3 in the 8th to St. Paul. Worcester and Indy will likely be gaining games. The Sounds, at this rate, are very likely sitting 4.5 GB after tonight.
-
LOL. The Sounds just gave Ramon Mendoza - the Redbird 9 hole hitter - an inside the park HR, essentially, via throwing error from Cargo in LF and Clarke's lumbering back-up. Amazing. Clarke with a doubly weak throw to home plate from down the 1B line. Double. E7 from Rodriguez who had a terrible throw to 2B. 5-3 Memphis. Woooof. Jay strikes out the side around that two-bagger oppo poke to the LF corner Cargo rushed a throw to 2B trying to get the runner. Wayyyyyyyy wide of the bag. I have absolutely zero idea what Clarke was doing in that play. Really poor display of the mental side of defensive baseball. He didn't back up the throw at all. If you're bigger and slower you have to get into position in that shallow OF grass because that is where a poor throw will hurt you. IF he misfires up the 1B line? You have a catcher there and you have your momentum. He then took his time down the 1B line to get the misfire. Then threw a weak toss wide of home plate. Ugly ugly stuff.
-
Sounds strand two in their half of the 5th. Clarke bloop line out (really nice diving grab by Memphis 2B). Mejía lines out to right CF.
-
Carlos gets a swinging K to end the threat in yet another full count. That'll be his night. Not a very sharp outing. Rather pedestrian with a few dynamic pitches thrown in there. He did touch 94-95 mph early, however.
-
Another liner up the middle also ripped plates two. Memphis back on top 4-3. As I've said: Cargo is not sharp. One clean inning. But, really, location issues throughout and now getting repeatedly ripped in the 5th. Pitch count now into 90's. He'll get a chance to leave this frame but he falls behind 2-0 right away.
-
Cargo has two men on in the top of the 5th. Pitch count in the 80's. Two line drive scorchers up the middle infield at 103 mph. These balls have been ripped. Men on the corners. One down. Pitch count at 85. LHP Tyler Jay is warming up.
-
Cargo gets his second K (looking) for his second out in the 4th. Pitch count now in the 70's. And, with the pitch count at 73 he completes his first 1-2-3 inning with a groundout to Zamora at SS.
-
Three-up. Three-Down. 6 Pitch 3rd inning for the Sounds bats.
-
Black lines out very hard to 1B. If I'm not mistaken, Black has lost 20-25 points on his Triple-A BA in the past month. Tough times at the dish.
-
Carlos digs deep and strands two. He gets the harmless fly out and then K's the final batter swinging on the best change-up of his night. He's all over the map but he's finding pitches in key spots.
-
Oppo single to start Cargo's 3rd frame. He really isn't sharp in this outing. Fighting himself. Pitch count already in the 50's. That opening AB started 2-0. Cargo #2 makes a really nice sprinting grap down the LF line as he ran at full speed to the foul line and then had to consider the bullpen mound. Made the catch regardless. Then Prieto lays down an absolutely perfect bunt down the 3B line. Two men aboard. That was a gorgeous bunt.
-
And, in a 1-1 count Hicklen pops out to 2B. On to the 3rd. Sounds lead 3-2.
-
Cargo hits a come backer and it caroms off the pitcher's mitt. Deflects slowly to the charging 2B. Cargo beats it by a half step. Zamora scores. 3-2 Sounds. Hustle infield single there. Nice sprint down the line for Rodriguez there. Hicklen is the 8th batter of this second frame.
-
Zamora HBP. Capra works a full count. Men on 1st and 2nd. Capra rips a liner past the diving 3B. Capra is 2-for-2 now. That single was ripped. Men on the corners. Two down. Cargo to the dish.
-
Mejía follows with a 1-1 rip right back up the middle. He absolutely hits the Redbirds' Robberse (two HR in an outing earlier this season). 2-1 Sounds put one on the board.
-
Clarke leads off the Sounds 2nd with a lead-off 1-2 line drive double to LF. Noice.
-
47 pitches for Cargo through 2.0 IP. Still 2-0 Redbirds. Lotta full counts. Walked another batter via replay less than 0.5" ball via Hawkeye.
-
Ground out to Capra at 2B ends the inning with a Redbird stranded on third base.
-
AND, just like that Carlos hangs a breaking ball on the outer stripe. Hicklen takes a poor route and the ball sails over. Relay throw was solid enough to make a go of it at a bang-bang play at the plate. Mejía rushed the tag and dropped the ball behind home plate. Capra's throw wasn't great but it was good enough. I've seen this type of start so much from Rodriguez. Pitch count in the 20's. Just got a pop fly to the infield. Sounds trail 2-0. Poor first frame.
