Miller just got HBP for the Double-A leading 11th time - not shocking for Miller. We have two men on. 8-5 game. EBJ (already with a long ball tonight) to the dish. Two down. Bottom of the 9th. -
In a quiet moment - to myself at muh locker as I clean the mud off my cleats - I whisper: "Maybe it's a good thing RHP Quinton Low is on the IL during the first half? Maybe I couldn't take another Wild Man?!?"
-
The Mudcats MAGIC NUMBER IS 3. Hellllllo baby. I can taste that first half title. LET'S GO!!
-
Man, I watch Danny Ceretti covering ground and just putting on gold glove displays inning-after-inning at the hot corner for the Whitecaps. All I can think is the Brewers haven't had a guy play defense like that @ 3B in the affiliated scene since...? He's incredible. Meanwhile, Adams throwing balls to unknown destinations at any moment. I am jealous. LOL. Anyhow, T-Rats go down with a whimper tonight. 4-1 Loss.
-
With Cedar Rapids leading and the T-Rats with a rare meltdown of execution on the defensive side of the ball is certainly looking like they won't reduce their Magic Number tonight.
-
Smith is the real Ace on the Shuckers pitching staff. That's my Take. I stand by it. He's also a pitcher that's actually developing. And, developing in a huge way.
-
AND, what other than another throwing error from Adams at 3B. trying to force an out at Home plate. There was no play there either. Just silly. Sibrian - oh my sweet sweet Prince - then takes 2B because of the throwing error. Just another stupid defensive decision in an inning suddenly filled with them.
-
I will also say: neither Rodriguez nor Rivero are getting any benefit of the doubt on borderline strikes. They have each thrown a few. Not getting any of the calls whatsoever. AND, for some inexplicable reason, Vargas throws the ball to 3B on a perfect hit-and-run and allows the runner to advance to 2B. That ball has to go to 2B. There's absolutely zero play at third. Silly silly mistake. Can't do that. Men on 2nd and 3rd. Two down. I would opine Rodriguez struck that batter out.
-
Another full count after he misses just off the inside of the plate. Garcia can't squeeze the pop fly behind home plate. Gotta get to that ball for your struggling pitcher, David! Not easy but it hung long enough to get there. Ooof. Full count again. Oh WOW. Diaz snags a hard hit liner down the 1B line and grabs the DP by beating the runner back to the bag. Whew. 8-2. Nothing doing. LOL.
-
I've got Yerlin Rodriguez throwing balls to the back stop on one screen. I've got Rivero throwing balls everywhere on the other. This is something. Jeebus.
-
BUllpen is warming up. Mound visit. They are trying to let Durow warm up. Rivero has the body language of a guy who can't locate his own clothes. ANother rough rough rough outing for the young hurler as his season goes South. Let's see if he can at least recover and get out of this mess.
-
Walke them full. Be cause, of course. 2 WP. 1 HBP. A single. 2 BB. One down. Why is the batter swinging on his first pitch there? Sometimes I wonder.
-
LOL. I was just thinking this same thing. He's so utterly unreliable at present. Like Miz, you literally never know what's coming to home plate. So frustrating. So many tools. Absolutely no control of his arsenal.
-
Rivero comes on with an 8-1 lead and proceeds to do bad Rivero things. Gets a groundout. Then plunks a batter. Then gives up a single to CF. Now he throws a pitch in the dirt and to the backstop. Runners advance to 2nd and 3rd. So many innate skills. So little control of his toolkit. 2-2 count. Let's see what he does here. Inside high and in heater. Full count. Walks him on another wild pitch. This young man can be so utterly frustrating to watch. Just so little control of his arsenal on any given outing.
-
I mean, it depends how you view his season to date. I personally feel his entire season but for a handful of sequential innings has been largely a disappointment. I don't personally see the #1 Brewers prospect in 2024. He is an implosion outing like this, again in my personal opinion, on any given night. It's a really sad turn of events. I came into this season looking for real momentum and real building blocks after his arrival on the scene in 2023. He's regressed in Biloxi. And, well, let's be honest: lots of players have regressed measurably on that Biloxi team. Something is going on in the water down there.
-
Castillo having a nice night at the dish. Some real quality insurance run AB's. You love to see it.
-
Meanwhile, Pratt with another poke knock liner to CF. I can not tell you how much I love watching him play baseball. He is just such a fantastic player.
-
Rund facing some early trouble in the 7th. Walked the first batter. 3-0 to the next hitter. THis is unlike Rund. Let's hope he digs deep. Back-to-back free passes. Gulp. Two men on. Nobody down. Mound counsel.
-
Yophery's defense is a serious serious plus. He tries so dang hard and hustles to the nth degree on that CF grass. To me, the bat has moments but he displays his youth and inexperience at the dish. BUT, where he is indispensable and you live with that growth curve is he is an absolute capital PLUS manning CF. He has made outs happen throughout the season.

Yeah, that ball was absolutely rocked. Would be really nice to get back to sizzlin' hot Ernesto cooking taters. Just sayin'!
-
Di Turi hasn't been getting results tonight but I like the swings and I like the approach. He's fighting off pitches. He's making decent contact. All the tools are there. He reach pokes an infield single up the middle. A slow looping roller - hey, ball don't lie! He made great contact thoughout before this - ruled safe on a bang-bang throw to first. He plates two more. 7-1 Mudcats!! Meanwhile, Rund is on to spell Kuehner. He's got it 1-2 and gets the end of the bat cork spin dribbler to the mound. He escapes. 1-1 and we head to the 7th.
-
Kuehner is going to likely be pulled here after 5 2/3 with his pitch count at 91. Yep. 5 K in a one run outing. He's been fantastic of late. He'll make way for a call to the Pen.
-
Yeah BABY. Gapper from Walling. He deserved that. A two knock game now! Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Beautiful stroke there. Only one down. Woot woot!
-
5-1 RBI groundout from Diaz. A slow roller. Diaz showing some wheels. HUGE insurance inning, men! LET'S GO!!!!
