    LHP Tate Kuehner will look to build on two consecutive fantastic Double-A starts to open his Shuckers career (hopefully, brief!) as he takes the bump for the third time. DH Brock Wilken will look to break his August slump as he plays in his 79th consecutive game tonight which will tie OF Troy Stokes Jr.'s record set back in 2018. Those were the days! 2B Ethan Murray will also look to kick start his sleepy season as touted RF Connor Scott (above) is given the clean-up spot.

    ^^ To this post's end, I'm going to simply celebrate a guy I feel I'm the only one who repeatedly touts his wares: RHP Nick Merkel. Just an absolutely unsung hero in the Shuckers bullpen. Can very readily eat 2-3 innings in a major pinch. In the month of August, as the Shuckers cling to a 2.0 G lead over Pensacola, Merkel has been an absolutely crucial piece in the Pen: 8 1/3 IP / 4 G / 5 H / 2 HB / 3 BB / 12 K / 0.179 BAA / 0.96 WHIP - Fangraphs is predicting a final FIP of 3.08...all he has done since joining the Brewers as an undrafted FA is improve each and every season and within each and ever season.

    Looking through the Shuckers pre-game Game Notes for the day, not only do I shine the light on their vastly underrated bullpen - especially since Yoho's promotion - but it turns out they are tied for the best K% in all of Double-A @ 28.1%. They're just such a solid group. Seeing the solid work 'The Shookster' and Justin King have done since their trade and release, respectively, speaks to the amount of talent they've had in that Pen all season. They are also near the top of the bullpen leaderboard in other Double-A categories: 3rd in ERA with a 3.24 ERA 5th in Opponent Slugging % @ 0.327 6th in Strikeouts with 540 Just an extremely underrated group as a whole. Happy to keep celebrating their collective efforts!

    Man, Wilken's August has been absolutely brutal. I really feel for him. He's uncomfortable in the box at present and even when he's making hard contact, which he is from time-to-time it is right at the defense. Just has to stay in the grind. This season just got off on the wrong foot, obviously, with the HBP and he hasn't really ever recovered any prolonged momentum.

    In Durham, the Sounds will look to pull their 1-2 series deficit even at two games apiece tonight. RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez will look to continue a fantastic August (1.59 ERA / 0.171 BAA / 1.06 WHIP / 11 K/ 5 BB / 2 GS - 11 1/3 IP) against the pesky Bulls. CF Isaac Collins is on the line-up card as the everyday player continues diversifying his massive toolkit. RF Brewer Hicklen and 1B Wes Clarke will look to find their power strokes in a series where they have largely struggled through three games. C Brian Navarreto is back behind home plate with Zamora and Cargo continuing their run of every day play.

    Let's add a little shine on one of the newcomers in Biloxi. OF Connor Scott, frankly, has been a revelation since becoming a regular in the Shuckers line-up. The 2018 1st Rd pick (Marlins, 13th overall) clearly is benefiting from a change of scenery from Pittsburgh's Double-A affiliate the Altoona Curve (Eastern League). Signed just one week after being released, Scott's renaissance in Biloxi has been crucial for their playoff push.

    RHP Enoli Pardes begins his rehab assignment tonight as the T-Rats' opener. LF Hedbert Perez continues to work his way back to form manning the LF grass CF Eduardo Garica is back in the fold spelling Luis Lara while SS Cooper Pratt will look to get his High-A motor running - he's been in a bit of a funk at the dish. The T-Rats currently hold a 2-1 series lead over the Chiefs.

    After falling behind 4-0 to the DSL Pirates Gold (29-21), the DSL Cerveceros Dos are making a game of it in the top of the 6th. CF Frandy Lafond started the inning with a lead-off double (3rd of his season - 2nd this week). He immediately scored when RF Roderick Flores (6th of his season) knocked a double himself. Flores went to 3rd on a WP and scored when 2B Jonathan Rangel grounded out to 2B - a productive out, as they say. With one down, and data very limited in its arrival, the game is currently stuck at one out with the bases empty for the Brewers Uno in the top of the 6th. Let's hope the Dos can keep it rolling and extend that winning streak to 5 games - with a 'W' today they would overtake 2nd place in their division from these same Pirates. Lafond and Flores are two extremely intriguing players on the edge of the DSL Brewers discourse, as a whole, who continue to show up routinely but garner very little attention overall. Both young men have OPS's north of 0.800 as they approach 100 AB (both in the 90's entering today's tilt). This really just speaks to the wealth of solid outputs we have seen beyond the big names who receive the majority of hype and love. There is a pool of players having really solid seasons overall. Many a young man are responsible for the collective DSL Brewers record being really solid as a collective mark.

    We have a scoreless pitchers duel between the DSL Cerveceros Uno and the DSL Orioles Black. 0-0 game as the two squads enter the final 1/3 of the game. Top of the 6th and, so far, the Uno have seen scoreless efforts from Dominican 17-year-old RHP Dariel Jacquez (4.0 IP, 1 H, 2 BB, 4 K) who continues to put together a really solid debut season and Panamanian 17-year-old RHP Lukas Gonzalez who is entering his second inning of work having pitched 1.0 IP with 1 H, 1 BB, and 2 K so far. Gonzalez picked up two more punch outs in his second inning of work - 2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 4 K. 0-0 ball game as they enter the seventh frame. Tense!

    LHP Nate Peterson has now given up 17 HR in 72 2/3 IP in 2024. This would be tied with ol' friend RHP Caleb Boushley in 2024 at the 16th highest mark in all the Minor Leagues (RHP Will Rudy is knocking at that doorstep himself having surrendered 16 long balls). However, Peterson has also pitched 30 less innings than Boushley - actually, he's pitched at least 20 fewer innings than essentially every man in the top 15. What's my point here? Peterson has hung way too many pitches this season and I've spoken to it on more than one occasion - he is averaging nearly 1 HR / outing. That just isn't a sustainable mark and I'm sure he knows it. It's essentially a RHP Robbie Baker pace (if any of you remember Robbie's last affiliated season in 2024 in which he allowed 16 long balls in 54 1/3 IP) - who is now pitching (quite well, might I add) in the Atlantic League for the Staten Island FerryHawks. Regardless, something has to change with Peterson and his breaking ball. It's pretty much that simple. Heater has plenty of life. Breaking ball way too often slowly finds its way belt high dead center.

    Miz K's two more in the 8th including a gorgeous final out on a 9th pitch swinging K - a very tight late cutting inside 92.9 mph slider (Statcast is calling this a cutter). He came off the heater and absolutely fooled on a gorgeous pitch.
  18. Joseph Zarr
    Touches 97 mph on the heat facing the 2nd batter. Oppo slicing single on another 97 mph single to shallow LF. 1-2 hanging knuckle curve is line out to RF. He got his K looking on a 97 mph heater on the outer black (righty).
  19. Joseph Zarr
    I kid you not, Megill nearly took a comebacker off his throwing side ribs or mid back on a knuckle curve 0-2 come backer. Goodness gracious! Garcia made a really nice sliding stab to get the out at 1B. Sitting 96 mph to begin his work.
  20. Joseph Zarr
    We have a relatively clean High-A debut Rehab outing for one RHP Trevor Megill. 18 pitches. 15 strikes. 1 H, 0 BB, 1 K. Going back to watch it now.
  21. Joseph Zarr
    'The Miz' with a clean 9 pitch, 6 strike, 1 K, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 WP, 0 HB, 1.0 first inning of relief. Let's GO!

    RHP Logan Henderson: 2nd Triple-A Start: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 BB, 8 K, 0 R AND, he even got to hit a Bull for last night's heartbreak loss! He gets it.
  23. Joseph Zarr
    RHP Tyler Woessner reverts back to 2024 Tyler Woessner. A 30 pitch first inning. 2 H, 1 BB, 0 K, 2 ER. Mercifully, the Brewers have come to understand he needs a very very short leash. The Shuckers are doing their DSL best in a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the 3rd - they have zero hits to the Braves 4.
  24. Joseph Zarr
    Hey, you know this RHP Logan Henderson guy - the guy I've been gushing about since his first outings with Low-A Carolina back in late 2022? He might be kind of good. Dunno. I'll wait for the 'Experts' to tell me what I should think. Maybe MLB Pipeline has the answers I need?
  25. Joseph Zarr
    As the OG on this board who alerted this entire community to Hunt's sweet brand of pitching condiment from outing #1, I'm certainly not going to put a single limit on what he might become. Misused in college but loyal to the program. Undrafted. Leading many an important category across all of MiLB in his first full season? Yeah, I'm going to sit back and do a little bit of this:
