Diaz K's swinging behind a 1-2 center cut heater. Absolutely behind that offering. They will head to the 9th knotted at 8's. -
LHP Shane Smith just stranded a runner at 3B with a gorgeous 3 pitch K on a change-up below the zone. Pulled the string. Gorgeous pitch. Shuckers still trail 1-0.
-
A Bitonti five pitch walk. A 1-2 Briceno HBP. The bases are juiced for Blayberg Diaz. Can they come through?! Game is still knotted at 8-8.
-
Hey, it's 2 games. BUT, I really don't care. Adamczewski is absolutely capital LEGIT. My goodness. I have serious serious lefty Craig Biggio vibes. I am absolutely not kidding.
-
BUT, it really doesn't matter when you have an Adamczewski. MY GOODNESS. 3-for-3. 2nd 2B. 4th RBI. 3 XBH. 1 HR. JEEEEEEEEEZE. His swing is GOLD. He just socked a deep ball over the CF'er who was absolutely out of sorts with that line drive. He had him turning all over. Would love to see the exit velo there. Whewwwww. 8-8 ball game.
-
The early word on Bitonti in the Carolina League: You can absolutely get him chasing off-speed down or away. I've seen him flail now and strikeout on several change-ups in the dirt or outside the zone. He K's after that near XBH. One down.
-
Baez opened up the bottom of the 8th with a lead-off walk. Bitonti just missed a deep corner XBH by feet - hooked foul. Dang.
-
I have to admit, so far I am entirely unimpressed by the RHP Garrett Stallings pick-up. What he shares with RHP Mitch White: lots of hittable offerings. Lots. The two hurlers share WHIPS in the 1.60 plus realm. Not exciting.
-
Fondly remembering the days of yore when Clancy was going to bat for Wes Clarke 'The Catcher'. What a time. Nostalgia wafts through the air! Before, the Clarkester hit his 2nd long dong in two nights (this time off an actual pitcher, no less) we were looking at this line-up. LHP DL Hall went 5 IP, 5 H, 2 BB, 2 ER, 5 K in a second consecutive rehab stint. We can work with this:
-
Before RHP Shane Smith was setting personal strikeout records with absolutely zero run support, we saw this line-up card:
-
Here was our set up in Zebulon for Game #2:
-
I am going to go right ahead and post some late line-up cards now that I am getting back into my report. The Teacher visit is ovahhhh and I am back to the Farmer Baseball nut. LOL.
-
Yeah, that double yesterday alone (before today's home run) was a really advanced hit. He golfed a very good slider from a very very good scending pitcher to the base of the RF wall. I was like:
-
It would appear I have a Home visit before the 1st Grade school year. My daughter's teacher is comin' to the farm within the hour. I'll have to check back in and review the game tape later in the Eve. Let's get some friggin' 'W's please. This mini Brewers org rut is something I'm unused to in 2024. 😅
-
He is extremely patient (you can argue too patient given his ability to drive the ball but that's another conversation). He does sit over the plate some, yes, but these are still High-A pitchers in the end. So, lack of polish and refinement and an extremely patient fairly massive selective hitter.
-
Mercifully, Rodriguez is pulled. Heck of a scenario for Rund to come into. That outing made me <sad face>. Absolutely zero control on anything. The obstacles to moving up the ladder rear their heads all too often for such a talented talented arm. Man.
-
Pitch count is now at 35. Man. Another full count as well. Just his 6th batter. How about a swing and a miss strike 3 with a WP (breaker in the dirt again) and the runner gets to 1B. Bases back loaded. Can I erase this outing from my mind? Unbelievable.
-
AND, in a 1-2 count how about a heater way down and in and to the backstop? Goodness. 5-1 deficit. This is incredibly ugly.
-
Let's see. He's up 1-2 in the next count. Can he follow through? Ahhh, yes. We are back to a 3-2 count. So ugly. And, of course, he gets a foul tip and Rodriguez can't hold it. Miraculously he gets a swing on another breaking ball in the dirt. What is the batter doing there? LOL. Thank the heavens he gets out 1.
-
Not even close. Throws a breaking ball a foot in front of the plate in the dirt. Rodriguez saved him 2 WP in that AB. This is as ugly as Rodriguez gets. Hard to watch.
-
Facing a catcher hitting 0.140 (came in today batting 0.125) he falls behind 3-1. The struggle is capital real.
-
So we are back to this version of Yerlin. Man. It hurts. He was ahead 1-2. Walked another. 2 walks from pitcher's counts. A 1-1 98 mph heater hit a batter in the face (he was pulled). THIS is why his numbers are what they are. No consistency. You don't know what version you are getting. When you get the good version? MLB level dominance. When you get this version? Only pain. Bases juiced. Nobody down.
-
Oh no! 98 mph up and in right off the Cubs batters helmet. My goodness. That one absolutely ran away. My goodness. Batter is still down. They're looking at his jaw. Jeeeeez, Yerlin. Come on now. Get that under control.
-
RHP Yerlin Rodriguez got ahead in the count, as he does, and then walked the batter on two very uncompetitive balls outside the zone - a curve way high and outside. An inside heater up and above. Man, I can not wait for his polish to consistently arrive. Touched 99 throughout that AB.
-
Dang. He pops out to the shallow RF grass on a 1-1 high heater. Ouch. That was a big moment. They couldn't find the key hit. On to the 9th. 3-1 Cubs lead.
