0-2 count. Mejía sets the glove high above the zone. Middy gets away with a mistake down the center. Nice execution on the next pitch - a slider on the outer half that tails just outside of the zone. He induces a reach oppo pop fly out to mid RF for Young. Young attempts to bluff the runners. It did not work. Two down. Men on 2nd and 3rd. -
A perfect bunt single down the 3B line. We have two men on now. One down. That was a perfect bunt.
-
Ahhhhhh ,yes, like Chirino before him, Middy walks his first batter on four straight balls. Yuck. Let's go, Middy. Let's get after it!
-
AND, Middy's first pitch flies inside and to the backstop. Oh baby!😅
-
Lucky for me (and @wiguy94) RHP Ryan Middendorf will come on for the Save Opp. Middy was absolutely lights out his last outing. Are we back in the Era of 'The Rise of Middy'?!? I sincerely hope so. He has stuff for days. I am praying his 'figure out Triple-A' stretch over the past year is long gone and we are watching an MLB riser.
-
Capra leaves two aboard with another well hit ball - this time a grounder directly to the SS. We are on to the bottom of the 9th frame. 4-2 Sounds.
-
Remember the 2023 May and June offensive bursts from INF Patrick Dorrian? I do. What a time. That slump of 27 K in 54 AB's in September seems to have broken his baseball Spirit and it gives me all sorts of sad face. He's just wayyyyy too talented to be mired in this season-long slump. It hurts me to see it!
-
OR find the comedy in the call. Too much at stake for the Muddies for me personally to not tune in. Plus, Di Turi now back in the batting order. Pratt and Yophery. Can Corniel overcome his third inning woes? Who cares about the fill-in call. Let's GO!😅
-
He then K's Tromp on 3 pitches with a gorgeous 96 mph slightly dipping dart right over the outer stripe. Again, so much talent. He can do that in any AB we just need to see it more regularly.
-
Chirino has such filthy stuff. BUT, he really struggles to find any consistency with controlling his movement. It's unfortunate. He came into this outing 18 BB: 21 K on his season allowing a 0.319 BAA. Yet, ERA very imaginable. He walks Laureano on four straight pitches. He has to harness his tools. He has everything he needs in the toolkit. He just lacks consistency in and around the zone.
-
Sweetie will do what Sweetie does: play the match-ups and preserve his key arms. That's all for Herget who will give way to a new arm. AND, it will appear it is RHP Harold Chirino.
-
Immediately after Clarke's epic moon shot cannon ripper, Yonny Hernandez gives us a very professional AB taking an 0-2 count full and grabbing a free base. He is then CS at 2B on the first pitch from the new reliever. I gotta say, the tie should have likely gone to the runner there. Yonny slid under a high throw and likely hit the bag before the swooping tag. No matter, he is scored 'CS'. On to the bottom of the 8th. 4-2 Sounds.
-
Here's a close-up of the powerful turn on a pitch inside but belt high for this long ball expert.
-
OH BABY. Wesley Clarke smashes a monster off the brick wall in LF. That's two games and 2 long dongs for 'The Clarkester'. That inside slightly hanging off-speed breaker was turned on like only Clarkey can do and absolutely smacked. Yeah BABY. 4-2 Sounds!
-
AND the weakest contact of the three falls in the shallow CF grass off the bat of Owen Miller. With two down, Zamora was running on contact and he beats the throw by a step with an unorthodox but effective late half-slide. 2-2 game!
-
That's two well hit line drives now too close to OF'ers. Tough luck for both Mejía and Capra. Two hard hit outs that will simply be scored FO's.
-
Stripers are 22-1 when leading after 7-innings. Their lone loss coming in a recent tilt with Durham - up 3-0 they ultimately lost 5-3. Sounds will have to defy the odds here if they want to pull one out here.
-
Capra lined out sharply to the LF warning track - that contact deserved better. With Laureano covering, Zamora respects that arm and stays at 2B. One down. Mejía to the dish.
-
That's now consecutive solid relief outings (?) for newly acquired RHP Garrett Stallings (who, apparently, does not have a MiLB player page today 😅). He goes 3 1/3 IP as his outing ends on a weak pop out to Dorrian at 3B (Patrick Dorrian sighting! He lives!). Stallings finished with 3 H allowed - 0 BB, 3 K - in his scoreless work. RHP Kevin Herget came on in relief and struck out two consecutive batters to end the 7th. Sounds trail 2-1 (all earned to RHP Taylor Clarke - 3 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 1 HB, 2 K, 2 ER). Zamora singled to begin the 8th.
-
I would certainly hope so! Tough sledding for the 17-year-old Venezuelan after spending all of last summer on the IL.
-
As an FWIW with this DSL Brewers Uno contest: No Made. No Pena. However, it would certainly appear INF Juan Ortuno is making a quick case for more PT in the near-term. The just turned 17-year-old Venezuelan infielder is 2-for-3 today with his 2nd two-bagger. He now has 5 knocks in just 11 AB's (hello, large sample!) with two doubles. Also showing keen discipline and eye early: 3 BB: 2 K. Fun mini peripheral development on the DSL Uno squad.
-
Whewwwwww baby. It is, ummmm, one of those: Combined DSL Cerveceros Uno Pitching Efforts 14 BB 3 WP 2 Balks 3 HBP Goodness gracious. Someone call a Medic. Thankfully, 18-year-old Colombian RHP Danny Puerta stopped some of the bleeding with a relatively clean 1 H inning. Sheeeesh, that box is painful. 🙃
-
Ahhhhhh yes, I haven't even dug into the DSL Brewers Uno box and game log as they are getting shellacked 11-0 to the Padres. They've given up 3 HITS. Check that 4 hits now and the bases appear juiced. I think we all know what this means: A mid-week DSL Pitching Special! "Clean up on Aisle Six, Craig! Stat!"
-
He has walked 2 and hit one batter in 10 1/3 IP with Milwaukee this season to date. He is sporting a 0.118 BAA with a 0.56 WHIP. Perhaps, because he had an uncharacteristic outing with 2 whole walks in 2 whole innings you are overplaying your hand here? Either way, any pitcher who can't find a plate will tend to walk opponents. It's quite obvious, in Paredes' case, at both Nashville and with Milwaukee that is a very unlikely outcome. Chalk it up to a random off night.

Let's shine more light and share more Love for RHP Craig Yoho. I've been telling y'all for two months now Yoho is an MLB pitcher yesterday. Let's go to Milwaukee area scout Ginger Paulson to add meat on the bone: More in McCalv's wonderful piece HERE. Believe the hype, folks. It is just a matter of time and what an absolutely incredible story of resilience, hard work, and personal belief.
