  1. Just like that the home plate ump randomly decides to squeeze Garnder on gorgeous consecutive inner black sliders. He gets the ground out to end the frame. Three up. Three down. On to the bottom of the 9th. 1-0 Shuckers trail.
  2. RHP Sam Gardner comes aboard and K's two consecutive on dirty dirty sliders. Man, I love me some RHP Sam Gardner. This pitching effort deserves so much better tonight. The Shuckers have three more outs. I wish I could say I'm confident they'll pull it out.
  3. Hey a clean and scoreless inning for RHP Yerlin Rodriguez. No wild nothing in there. Thank the heavens. I needed that storyline after watching these games tonight. 😂
  4. The Shuckers have had a base runner on board for seven consecutive innings. They have yet to score a run. The revelation that is Connor Scott just smacked his 2nd double of his evening. He's aboard 2B with one down (EBJ shallow pop out behind 2B). Adam Hall just advanced Scott on a come backer. Man on 3B. Two down. Ethan Murray will try to put together a meaningful AB. He's looked overmatched all night but that can change in a hurry. 0-for-3. 3 K. AND, the Shuckers and Murray rips another absolute dart directly to the SS. Uncanny. That's twice now. That was Murray's best swing of the night. And, he suffers a classic "That's baseball." result.
  5. Merkel's knuckle curve and slider combo are just realllllly good pitch offerings. He continues to impress me nearly every time I watch him pitch. He can sit on those for a batter plus and then boom his 92-93 mph (touches 94-95 from time-to-time) just catches you sitting off speed. He's now struck out 4 in three shutout innings of work with a very healthy pitch count. I continue to just love his game.
  6. Miller grounds out harmlessly to 2B to end the Shuckers half of the 7th. These AB's right now are eerily reminiscent of the first half Shuckers. They've now K'd 15 times. They'll head to the 8th down 1-0.
  7. Wilken K's again. He is just lost right now. Not a good swing on a 98 mph heater belt high on the outer black. A reach flail swing and miss. He is all sorts of discombobulated in the batters box at present. The struggle is very real. 3 K. 1 BB. You don't want to know his numbers in August. You really don't.
  8. Wilken quickly falls behind 0-2. Slider inside looking. Slider inside fouled behind home plate. He is 0-for-2, with 2 K, 1 BB heading into this AB. He has struggled mightily in August. It's ugly.
  9. O'Rae begins the 8th K'ng on a slider down and in and the Shuckers have now punched out 14 times. They are getting absolutely owned by off-speed. Boeve just smacked a single up the middle and has another multi-hit game. One down. Boeve on 1B.
  10. I swear I think the same thing each and every time I watch INF Eduardo Garcia swing the bat: "If I'm a High-A pitcher I don't throw him a single strike. Everything off speed down or away. Maybe get him on his heels some more with some high heaters up and out of the zone for good measure. With this approach, I will very likely strike him out." He goes down flailing with the bases juiced and two down. Swings and misses considerably on a slider about 2 feet off the plate and well away. Swings and misses on a change-up that dipped well below the zone. Absolutely fooled. He was way ahead of that pitch that wasn't really hittable regardless. He just doesn't have any semblance of a sophisticated approach at the plate. It's the same swing-and-miss package I've seen in him since his Low-A days. I feel for him.
  11. Sounds fall 8-3 in Durham. It was absolutely an 8-3 loss in every way. Ugly game 1. They were outhit 13-4.
  12. Oh man, Caleb Martin ripped a scorcher right to the SS. Ugh. That ball was rocked. I don't think he had to move but one foot to his right. It will simply go down as a 'FO'. Man, tough luck there. 1-0 Shuckers deficit headed to the 7th where we'll likely see RHP Nick Merkel's second inning of relief work.
  13. Murray quickly falls behind 0-2. He strikes out on 3 pitches. He is offering very little to zero resistance at the dish since returning. Which, if we're being honest, has been the story of Murray's entire 2024 season. Just a really rough year for the infielder.
  14. This is now the second consecutive frame the Shuckers have runners on 1st and 2nd with one down. Murray to the dish. Let's see if he can rise to the occasion.
  15. Mudcats win behind the fantastic pitching of Corniel and Sanchez and the bats of their Twin Towers in Bitonti and Walling. Beautiful stuff.
  16. How was the Mudcats game tied, you might ask? I have that answer:
  17. HUGE work by RHP Dikember Sanchez. He wasn't given the call on a gorgeous low breaker (appeared in the zone). He buckled down in a 3-1 count and ultimately got the K lookin on the inside black. He strands the tying run at 3B. The Muddies are absolutely overcoming several things going against them late. One more inning to pull this out. They lead 2-1 headed to the 9th inning. Meanwhile, in Biloxi the Shuckers bats continue to be bedazzled by sliders and change-ups. Wilken goes down looking. Miller goes down swinging on a change-up dead center. They now have double digit strikeouts. They each strand runners on 1st and 2nd base. Shuckers trail 1-0.
  18. Yeah, they had him. The infield ump missed the call. Sigh. And Baez absolutely knew it and was not pleased.
  19. Sanchez gives up an oppo single to RF to start the frame. That batter then took 2B on the second mishandle I've seen tonight from Diaz who can't get the ball out of his mitt as it trickled before him. That runner is advanced to 3B on a groundout to 2B. Then on a three pitch K it appeared Sanchez and the Muddies were robbed of the strikeout throw him out at 3B. That ball appeared to get there. Didn't get the call. Two down. Man on 3B.
  20. For reference, regarding the weird events of the 7th inning in Delmarva: Delmarva sent the same batter to the plate twice and they only sent four batters to the dish in the frame. Just extremely strange. I don't know if I've ever seen that in all my years of watching Minor League baseball.
  21. This is extremely reminiscent of the previous series vs Delmarva for the Muddies - they scored in the 8th inning in 5-of-6 games in that series. And, in 4 of those games, Delmarva led entering the 8th. Wild. Diaz K'd swinging. Yophery topped a warmburner to the mound. 2-1 Muddies headed to the bottom of the 8th.
  22. Yes Sir! Walling rips a 3-1 gapper double to right CF (yeah, that's right @wiguy94!). That ball was smacked at 105 mph. Let's go! 2-1 Muddies.
  23. Yoshwar just laid down amasterful bunt to take first and the catcher rushed the throw putting the go-ahead run, in Garcia, on 2B in a 1-1 game. One down. 8th inning. He then does what he does: swiped a base. He takes 3B. Gotta get him in here, men!
  24. If I had a nickel for every slider the Shuckers batters stared at over the plate, I'd have buck or so. Murray goes down looking in a 3-2 count, man on first, with one down. Can not leave the bat on the shoulders there. Not a good look. That's 9 K's for the Shuckers bats and most of them are on the slider.
  25. None the less, credit to Sanchez for getting out of it with an easy come backer for the casual underhanded toss to 1B.
