    Delgado is the first Sound on base via BB. Nice AB. Oliva will not get on base in his first AB - shallow pop out to RF tracked easily by the 2B. One down. Delgado on first.
  2. Joseph Zarr
    Cornielle then gets the DP to end the threat. Last week he did not concede a run after the first frame. Let's hope that holds true again. 2-0 Sounds trail headed to the 2nd.
  3. Joseph Zarr
    Fly out to LF. One out. 1-2 count falls full. Walks high and outside. 2 HR. 1 BB in his first inning of work. Both first frames have been mildly disastrous for Cornielle in two Triple-A starts.
  4. Joseph Zarr
    380 foot HR to RF. 381 foot HR to RF. I guess that's consistent?

    Cornielle concedes an 0-1 second pitch oppo taco. 1-0 Bats. He tried to consecutive heaters to the high outside corner. It did not work. He then is ripped for a second back-to-back HR. Yikes. Another 0-1 pitch. This one went right back belt high over the heart of the plate. 2-0 Bats.

    Sounds half of the 1st: Berroa K looking. Black weak shallow pop fly out to CF. Seigler K swinging.
  7. Joseph Zarr
    I always have a mild sense of awe when the Sounds face the Bats. Manager Rick Sweet is the Wins leader for both organizations. The man is Legend.

    There is a mild amount of last week International League drama with post-season implications. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Yankees) is currently 3.0 G up on the Syracuse Mets. The Mets play 3rd place Lehigh Valley (Phillies - 5.5 GB) while the RailRiders play second to last place Buffalo (Blue Jays - 15.0 GB). It's obviously a favorable SWB set-up - they lead by 3.0 G and they are playing the inferior opponent. Both these series (SWB and Syracuse) are on the road.

    Well, indeedly do they do. And Montgomery just swept these same Shuckers in Montgomery just three series ago by a lopsided score of 28-13. Albeit, this was certainly aided by a 12-5 game 6 walloping when the new look bullpen conceded 10 runs over 4.0 IP including an 8-spot in the deciding 5th frame. However, back to the Biscuits pitching. In that same series Montgomery won games by the scores of 3-1, 3-2, 3-1, 5-3, and 3-1. The point? The Shuckers truly have their work cut out for them. I would personally lean Biscuits favored in this best of three set.

    Nope. They are 8 GB. Five teams ahead of them. 6 games remain. The International League is wonky in that they have two divisions but each half's actual winner is the team with the best overall record between the two divisions. If a team repeat wins both halves, the team with the second best record in the second half - again regardless of division - would get the second half nod. These two half winners then meet in the post-season for (nowadays, it used to be one game) a three-game set to play the winners of the PCL series in a Championship final match-up.

    What an absolutely electric end of season Utility Man extraordinaire Raynel Delgado is having. Tonight, he is given 1B duties (!!) and already has a long ball. 1-for-1, 2 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 HR. He was on absolute tear in August - this is just his 4th Start at first base all season. He had cooled down some in September but it looks like tonight's output will knock those numbers up a bit. Sounds lead 6-1 in the bottom of the 5th. Dunn has a grand salami. Black and Seigler have two hits apiece. Brucey Z absolutely co tinues to sling it with impact - 5.0 IP, 4 H, 0 BB, 4 K, 1 ER. He's only needed 51 pitches through 5 frames. What a fantastic season he is having. Truly.

    Ahhhh, yes, the "Let's take the red hot Briceno and shelf him for the ice cold Di Turi..." Development path over end-of-season and potential Post-Season heater to win path.That was a fun one.

    Since returning from his months long IL stint, EBJ is hitting 0.116 from the dish. He is 5-for-43. He has a sole XBH, a double back on August 16th. Sighs.
  15. Joseph Zarr
    Also, that was Alcantara's best inning as a Shucker. Just a really nice frame. Got two swinging K's on some swopping deceptive off-speed pitches. Really nice work.
  16. Joseph Zarr
    I went back and watched to see if there was anything there. There very much was not. He walked. Spain grounded out a chopper to 2B. All you see is Wood slow up some and then lightly jog it out knowing the inning was over. No action from Spain or Lipka into that base path to check on Wood. I am guesstimating it was a planned exit? Unless, of course, something nagging happened earlier in the game.

    Interestingly, RHP Stiven Cruz was re-rostered at Wisconsin and RHP Manuel Rodriguez was called up to the make the final Biloxi regular season start today. Cool for both young men to get this late season opporunity - for Stiven to re-experience the Southern League and for Manuel to debut. (Noted in our ongoing Transactions thread HERE)

    SHUCKERS ADD RODRIGUEZ FROM WISCONSIN AHEAD OF REGULAR SEASON FINALE BILOXI, MS – The Biloxi Shuckers and Milwaukee Brewers have announced that RHP Manuel Rodriguez has been promoted from High-A Wisconsin and RHP Stiven Cruz has been transferred to High-A Wisconsin. The active roster now stands at 28 players. Rodriguez has been assigned No. 48 and will make his Double-A debut today (9/14) in the Shuckers regular-season finale against the Birmingham Barons. Rodriguez is set to become the youngest pitcher to appear in a game in franchise history.

    There are very few things happening, in the many MiLB broadcasts I watch in a season, I dislike more than when an announcer leads a player's appearance telling me where he's ranked in the MLB Pipeline pantheon of player evaluations. I understand the why - brand consistency; eye candy and allure for fans. I just really don't appreciate it at all. I'm definitely the old farmer on the rocking chair on the front porch swinging his clenched fist at the clouds on this one 😅. Let the players speak for themselves, I say. Let their play on the field speak for itself.

    Man, Sammon was such an incredible feather in the Brewers beat writer cap when we had him. He offered so many juicy details like those morsels you share above. When he left, and the absolute disregarding manner in which the Athletic at large handled the entire departure and 'transition' (if you can call it that) for Brewers fans and readers, it was an immediate cancellation of my Athletic subscription. Don't regret doing that for a single moment. Just an embarrassingly indifferent media house for baseball small markets. Holguin still played plus defense at the hot corner despite scouts thinking he was a shortstop. Unfortunately, he couldn't really hit a lick at that Low-A level in his brief stint there this summer. When a player flashes leather like he did, however, with other players struggling to hit in that Low-A and High-A level like we witnessed this season, I do wonder what the deeper story is. We'll likely never know. I wish him all the best in the interim as he contemplates his next moves in baseball and in life.

    Glad you mentioned Cruz's work. So happy for him to return after a solid if unspectacular re-assignment at Wisconsin. He kept his head down after the early season struggles that led to his re-assignment. It's very easy for fans to forget he was actually very good at Biloxi through his first nine outings - if you remember at that point of his season he was essentially sitting 94-95 mph in his brief relief stints. I don't know what happened for him to tailspin in the manner he did after that, but at this point it's a moot point. Glad he's back at Biloxi and glad his first outing was roses.

    Ummmm

    I was just coming to post this. 😅 We can all look back at that RHP Chad Patrick outing versus Jacksonville when Wiems hit two long balls for and tallied 5 RBI as the launchpad. He went 3-for-3 that night with a walk. He went 8-for-17 on that entire Sounds series with 3 2B in addition to the game one 2 HR. 9 RBI, 5 BB, 5 K. Just an incredible series. Despite the K rate, it's really great to see Wiems experience some semblance of solid success back at the MLB level!

    I commend you for your public transparency. Your process laid out before us here is akin to Babe Ruth sharing how he hit all those homers. Also, as a dad of two, on behalf of bad dad jokes everywhere, I have to ask: is there really such a thing as a forced poor pun? (this is a rhetorical question...no need to reply...of course we all know there is no such thing as a 'forced poor pun' 🤭)
