  1. HEY NOW! Adams rips an 0-2 heater to the wall in LF (likely played poorly as the LF'er took a poor angle) and Estevez aggressively sends Barrios. The throw beat him on a good relay but it was fast and on a low skip. The catcher couldn't hold it. Barrios scores. 1-1. Adams' 5th dub. Wood then crushes a 1-1 pitch over the RF wall! WOOT WOOT! 3-1 T-Rats baby. Glad to be back home after a rough Quad Cities series! Heck yes! 0-14 in QC but only K'd once. Putting the ball in play but it wasn't landing. 3 straight 2-out hits. They have now scored 37 1st inning runs in 34 games. Chew on that, Wisconsin! Yeah baby!
  2. Clarke bravely fouls another high outside pitch. He then takes the 7-pitch walk low and in. Great AB. He walked twice. I don't care what ABS says.
  3. THIS is what I am talking about with the inconsistencies with ABS. NO way is that a strike. No movement from the catcher's mitt here. This is exactly where he catches that ball. Clarke checks cleanly from that position. Called strike. I see this way too often. Just salty on this stuff. Not a reliable or accurate system. That ball is 3-6" outside the zone beyond the upper corner.
  4. Black rips a very hardit liner to 2B that short-hops and caroms over the glove to the OF grass. He then takes 2B on a clean steal. Men on 2nd and 3rd now. Nobody down. Clarke in a 2-0 count.
  5. Jadher Areinamo: amazing defensive player. My goodness. He absolutely saved Aquino from further damage with a gorgeous snagged liner on a hanging pitch (belt level and slightly in) and doubles off the runner on 2B. Just an incredible play. Whewwww.
  6. Capra with a first pitch single to CF. Aquino sees a fairly nice off-speed pitch down and in somehow golfed to the RF wall in a looping liner that stayed fair and then snuck itself into the corner. Nice piece of hitting. He then gives up an RBI double under the diving Adams who, frankly, short-armed the dive. Not an easy play. BUT, Adams didn't have the best dive either. AND, Isaac Collins hits a gap double to deep Right CF and drives in Capra. It's 1-0 Sounds. Yeah baby!
  7. Aquino, sporting a new look hair-do - much longer than we've seen), strikes out the first batter on three pitches. Woessner gets Mesa Jr. to 3-2 and induces a pop fly to shallow RF where Hicklen easily corrals it. On to the fourth. It's a snoozer in Jacksonville so far.
  8. AND, we're just about to get underway in Wisconsin. Let's slap some Sky Carp in the gills!
  9. Woessner scuffled through a clean first. He's been fantastic since. You love to see it. Just got his 4th K trhough 2 1/3 IP on a gorgeous sinking curve into the dirt. Three pitch K to open the bottom of the 3rd. Now 0-2 to the 2nd batter - ol friend OF Jonathan Davis. AND, he gets the K on a gorgeous outside cutter. 5 K through 2 2/3 IP. Whewwww baby. Let's go!
  10. Three up and three down for the Sounds in the 3rd. Roller pop up to 1B foul territory on the first pitch. Haase and Zamora groundouts.
  11. Woessner's 2nd inning: 2-2 (started 0-2) pop-up to Capra at 3rd. Starts 0-2 to nemesis Griffin Conine and gets the K - his third - looking on the outer stripe. Gorgeous pitch. First pitch line drive single to RF Gets a 1-1 chopper to Hernandez at 2B Scoreless after two frames.
  12. Clarke is behind the heater. But he's battling. 7-pitch strikeout. He swings and misses at an outside cutter at his knees. Also behind a touch on that swing. Hicklen comes to the dish and shows Clarke how it's done with a first pitch line drive single to CF. Hernandez grounds into a first pitch DP to 2B. Classic 4-6-3.
  13. What is NOT to love with this face. My baseball gods this man is meant to adorn the Jumbotron. Let's go, Mr. Clarke!
  14. Woessner with a clean inning. BUT, not a pretty inning. He is lacking any type of consistency in the zone. He got away with a 3-0 heater belt high that landed 6' from the RF wall on the warning track. He continues to struggle with the fine-tuned location of his arsenal.
  15. Woessner opens with a 2-2 breaking ball K on the inner stripe. He started the opening AB 0-2. He opened batter number two with a strike. Worked to a 1-2 count. And threw two balls in the dirt. 3-2 count. Walk. Low. Certainly lacking polish in his arsenal but giving glimpses of dominance.
  16. Well given the recent article Brewer Fanatic published calling for an end to the Jake Bauers era...and, in true fashion, Bauers has since been torrid including last night's grand salami...I'm going to guesstimate another early-season over-reaction will lead to a Chourio tear. Maybe he goes the rest of the season without a single swing-and-miss! A couple well-respected posters on this very website were also extremely bearish on Turang (you know who you are, you fiends!) before the MLB season even began. Even though, my fine feathered posters, Turang has demonstrated at every level an initial struggle followed by improved and more polished offensive approaches. I digress. Should they send him down? It certainly wouldn't make sense at this juncture given the overall state of the outfield and roster at large. AND, like Turang, Chourio has demonstrated an uncanny ability to adjust at every level - this type of slump isn't rare but the lack of bounceback performances and output are. BUT, his weaknesses are his weaknesses - nothing changed from the past year plus we've watched him. He's now simply playing the hardest level of baseball and his weaknesses will be exposed by much better and much older pitchers. Practice patience, young Grasshoppers.
  17. We just wrapped up the National Anthem in Jacksonville so we should be batting in the top of the 1st very shortly.
  18. Another week. Another Mudcats game postponed during my report duties (sighs). Another week. Another prayer to the baseball gods the Shuckers season-long slumps throughout the line-up turn a corner to greener pastures where balls drop for hits. Thanks be to gahd. Let's get some 'W's. *Note: Obviously not this Shucker. Muh man.
  19. Just had a 'How is RHP Max Lazar's season going?' moment. Looks like he was crushing for the Phillies' Double-A Reading affiliate and has been promoted to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Go get 'em Max! Philadelphia Phillies Promotes Potential Closer to Triple-A
  20. Didn't they proclaim this off-season this was going to be changed in 2024? I think I am merely confusing this with the news they were leaving Granger Stadium after 2024? Dang it that is really annoying! Amazing the World Champs can't get a live feed going for their Low-A squad. Honestly, that's just ridiculous. Makes these absurd bird's eye view Biloxi games slightly more palatable. At least the Shuckers are on the road this week (Sorry Javik. Not sorry)
  21. HUGE win by the Mudcats today.. They lead Fredericksburg by a mere 1.0 G (also 7-3 over their last 10) - tho have a 2 G advantage in the Loss column 9-to-11. After the upcoming Down East road series (we shall see if Down East does indeed have Live feeds in 2024) upcoming, the Midcats have an opportunity to face off versus both last place Delmarva and Myrtle Beach for a 12 game stretch. And, it does look like the Mudcats will squeeze in their make-up games vs Columbia just before the first half ends June18th amd 20th. Assuming, of course, this is indeed still the first half?
  22. Well shoot that's some awesome post-Mom's Day dinner surprise! Heck of a series win.
  23. He gets the K swinging on an off-speed pitch skirting the outer half. Noice! 5-4 Muddies and we head to the 8th. Hopefully, they close it out. Gotta run to Mothers Day dinner.
  24. And he throws a 3-2 heater onto the plate and into the dirt. First player walk for Figueroa. Mudcats have walked 5 and plunked 2. Three WP's and a balk. AND, lead 5-4. We'll take it.
