    Been saying this same very thing for over a month. I mean, I am dead serious when I say this: I think Yoho is an MLB pitcher today. Full stop. His stuff is that absolutely filthy. I wouldn't think twice to get his feet wet vs MLB hitters in mop-up duty to see how his stuff plays. So much movement. High-A hitters have absolutely no chance. None. And, for all us Yoho stans, don't forget to check out his 'T-Rats Talk'

    It's his Achilles' heel. This is why I've compared him to an even raw-er version of Abner Uribe (without the emotional unpredictability and volatility). You can really date these walk struggles back to August 12th of last season vs Delmarva. It's kind of where it all began. Before that point, even though his ERA was a bit elevated he was dominating batters and it was clear to see the ERA just didn't tell the story. In 2024, even when he was dealing in the earlier part of this T-Rats season, he was still walking guys but his stuff is so good when he's within himself it didn't matter outing-to-outing. There is still high-leverage reliever in his arsenal. It's blatantly obvious. BUT, none of that matters if you can't own the zone and control your stuff. You can essentially group Rodriguez with Rivero and Low. All three guys have electric stuff. All three guys reallly realllllllly struggle to replicate success for long periods of time. Thankfully they are all 22 and younger. So much talent there. Many many miles to go.

    Focusing on the positives, indeed! From August 2nd of last season from yours truly (HERE): It would appear the trajectory is still quite byulllllish. Been a big fan. Still a big fan. I can not wait to watch he, Bitonti, and Di Turi in Carolina.

    Hats off to LHP Justin King for his second consecutive scoreless relief outing. There are pluses in that Biloxi box score we just have to squint and find them. At this stage of their disappointing season, I'm looking for bread crumbs. It's hard to fathom a worse start for INF Ethan Murray. This is bringing deep shades of his offensive struggles at High-A Wisconsin back in 2022. Last season gave me great hopes he had set a new baseline offensively. It's hard to see this as anything other than a significant regression. A darn shame.

    With Dunn and Clarke everyday guys in this current Sounds lineup (granted, we're playing Charlotte here) the Sounds suddenly have a little bit of firepower and savvy in that 1-through-5 in the lineup. Much more enjoyable watch for this ol' codger.

    Man, this Carolina skid is making me all sorts of sad face. Gotta grind and get back in the win column! RHP Jesus Rivero still trying to find his form from early season - 2 1/3 IP and 3 more BB's. Ugh. On the flip side another scoreless bounce back outing from RHP Aidan Maldonado.

    Just getting down to check what happened in the system after about a 14.5 hour Dad and Farmer day. Drove an hour four times. Took a kid to swimming. No animals died (yet). Ready to watch some innings before I pass out and do it again tomorrow.

    LOL. My friend, are you kidding? I watch 650 hours or so of Brewers Minor League baseball per season. I write reports on these games for this website. I have watched Misiorowski pitch since he entered the system. My points stand. My opinion is what it is. Disagree with it. I care not a single iota.

    It's really hard not to be excited about all three of Bitonti, Alastre, and Di Turi. To a young man, they are showing out in the ACL. Exciting young talents.
  10. Joseph Zarr
    Another night for the ACL Crew where the young pitching staff gives up double digit runs. AND, the hitters keep hitting - Alastre, Di Turi, Bitonti. Edgardo Ordonez with a nice evening - a pleasant surprise. He is 2-for-2 with a solo jack (his 2nd of the season). Bottom of the 6th of a 7-inning slate, the Crew have runners on 1st and 3rd with two down. They trail 10-5.

    ** Tho, for posterity's sake: To my vast legion of internet fans (🤭): I will not be performing reports this week. Solo Farm Dad week through next Sunday. Pray for me. Every night.

    He touched 95. Sat 94. It would appear Hall's next Rehab outing will be with Triple-A Nashville. SO, at this juncture, it's hard to tell if he's going to stay in the bullpen in the near-term or get stretched out.

    RHP TJ Shook's worst outing in quite some time sees the Shuckers trailing 5-0 in the 2nd frame. The Shookster didn't even make it out of the first frame after 35 pitches and 2/3 IP. 4 H, 3 BB, 1 HR, 4 ER (5 R). Shake it off, TJ. Plenty of ball games left. You get the mulligan considering how well you've pitched since August of 2023. Come back stronger. Let's hope those Shucker bats can find some magic and give us an improbable victory.

    Chirinos followed yesterday's walk-off dramatics with a two run double and a walk today. DL Hall pitched a scoreless 1 K first frame. RHP Edwin Jimenz has done the heavy lifting from there - 5 IP, 6 K. He did just concede 3 runs in the top of the 6th but the T-Rats still cling to a 5-3 lead. Lets hope they can pull it out! A win today would mean a 5-1 series victory. A win today would mean the T-Rats maintain a precarious 1.5 G lead over suddenly surging Cedar Rapids. The Kernels have a 5-0 series lead on Quad Cities. They've won five games by a combined 8 runs. The two squads, predictably, are tied 3-3 in the 7th frame. Tight tough series!

    Boy it looks like two errors late cost the Mudcats a crucial 'L'. AND, though he didn't qualify for the win, it certainly wasted Galindez's 4 2/3, 1 ER, 10K outing. Ouch. Scratch that. An error allowed a runner to advance but we were in an abbreviated game of extra innings. Regardless, tough tough loss at their nemesis, Down East. Always a thorn in the Mudcats' sides.

    To answer the article's proposed ?: Absolutely not. In 6-of-8 games in the extremely offensively challenged 2024 Southern League, Miz has walked at least 3 batters. He's walked 5 twice. To a tune of 12 free passes in only 12 2/3 IP. 7 WP's and 2 HB in that same span. We all know Miz has electric raw talent and tools, but to propose elevating him to the MLB level when he can't even stack consecutive outings (let alone innings) is a a wee fantastical from my vantage point. It's hard to know what the future holds for Miz - is he a reliever? Can he actually repeat controlled mechanics for a starter's duration of innings? BUT, at just a mere 22 years old, the good thing is the Brewers have plenty of time to find out. There is zero reasons to call him up at this stage given his lack of growth since his initial promotion to Double-A in 2023. If anything, the unfortunate truth is he has regressed. There is plenty of developmental work ahead. I would personally prefer that work doesn't come on an MLB mound for the foreseeable future. Patience. Patience. Patience.

    LHP Justin King with a clean 2 K inning. Good for him! Keep grinding and keep going, Justin. EBJ finally found some holes. 2-for-4 in the lead-off. Good sign. Shuckers win 5-2. Certainly looks like RHP Sam Carlson had to work around some runners on the base paths in the 9th. At 18-20 the Shuckers are still a mere 3.5 GB of 1st place Montgomery/Pensacola. All they need is a little run. A little win streak. Start consistently scoring some runs and keep those low outputs on the opponents' scoreboard.

    Ernesto Martinez Jr. back in the line-up as a DH. Love to see it. RHP Jacob Misiorowski gave us the ol' 5 BB in 3 2/3 IP routine today. Sigh. He minimized any damage, however as he does in his control crazy tightrope walk. It's 4-1 Shuckers in the bottom of the 5th frame. Darrien Miller and Zavier Warren are each 2-for-2. Wilken's offensive struggles continue since his return: 0-for-3 so far.
  19. Joseph Zarr
    Just an awesome moment for Chirinos. Awesome awesome moment. 0-2 count, no less! Gotta love the call there from Mehring. Do you think he was excited?

    I think I need to get my own MiLB player page. Then I can share it with my wife. 🤭 "Look, babe! See: 6'4" and a svelte 200!"

    Down East is such a perennial thorn in the Mudcats side. Losing @ Down East feels doubly worse considering what the Rangers have done to us die hards. Thankfully, we didn't lose any ground on the Nats. Both are tied atop the Division 11 games over. Granted, we have those Columbia make-ups in the chamber.

    I feel like Biloxi is No-Hit every time I watch their offense. A painful experience.
  23. Joseph Zarr
    There is absolutely zero reasons Yoho should still be gifting T-Rats fans outings to showcase his skills. Zero reasons. Promote this man already. He is clearly outclassing High-A hitting every outing. Let's push the envelope here already. I personally believe his stuff plays at any level. And, let's just get Double-A out of the way next. Please and thanks.

    RHP Logan Henderson doing Logan Henderson things. 5 K through 2.0 IP in his second ACL rehab outing. You love LOVE LOVE to see it. Let's get that man healthy and back into the ranks.
  25. Joseph Zarr
    Looks like Wiemer was pulled before the 7th - listed as a defensive sub for Yonni Hernandez to LF (?). Is this a precautionary measure? Seems like a weird sub if it wasn't some type of hiccub in his rehab.
