  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. AND, we're just about to get underway in Wisconsin. Let's slap some Sky Carp in the gills!
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. What is NOT to love with this face. My baseball gods this man is meant to adorn the Jumbotron. Let's go, Mr. Clarke!
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. We just wrapped up the National Anthem in Jacksonville so we should be batting in the top of the 1st very shortly.
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. 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)
  16. 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?
  17. Well shoot that's some awesome post-Mom's Day dinner surprise! Heck of a series win.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Figueroa missed giving up a laser shot solo jack on a 1-0 high heater to a lefty. That ball was crushed. And, it hooked about 6-9' foul as the ball traveled down the RF line. Whew.
  21. Hunt reaches 50 pitches and is pulled. It looks like RHP Jeferson Figueroa will get the call. Hunt closed his work with a 2-2 weak grounder to Guilarte at 2B. Then he finished it off with another K check-swinging and missing on a 2-2 low outside slider. Two down. 5-4 Mudcats. Figueroa on the bump.
  22. Hunt will come back out for his third inning of work. Let's hope he buckles down. Still a precarious 5-4 lead.
  23. Three quick groundouts from Guilarte, Rodriguez, and Pratt bring us into the 7th inning stretch.
  24. AND, he K's the side. 5-4 Mudcats lead. They have countered every Pecker run with a run or runs of their own. SO, let's hope they can gain further separation! Here's a fun tidbit to warm your hearts regarding the competitiveness of this series: Between last night's 8-7 Mudcats win and between the Mudcats heartbreaking Xtras loss this past Wednesday, these two clubs shared 17 Lead Changes. Nuts.
