  1. Middendorf rips a 97 mph heater at the knees to get the second out in the 9th. A chopper up the middle in the first AB grounded out but advanced the runner to 3rd. Huge moment here. Two down. Man on third. Let's see if he can dig deep. Yes he does! He gets the weak one bounce liner Capra calmly collects and throws to 1B. 2-2 and we head to the bottom of the 10th. Fantastic work for Middy!
  2. Zamora pops out to RF. Santillan shuts that door. On to Xtras.
  3. Sounds have the bases juiced after Roller walked on four pitches. Zamora coming to the dish in quite easily his biggest moment as a Sound. 2-2 game. Bottom of the ninth. Two down. Bases dripping. Kriske - the Bats reliever has thrown 31 pitches and walked 3. They'll likely go to their closer Santillan here. They are rushing a warm-up of their closer now. Yep. Freddy is going to face their Ace - the Bats are the second ranked bullpen in the International League (behind the first ranked Sounds).
  4. Likely true. You can't trust him in an MLB setting defensively. DH would allow him to prove the bat. He's a great young man. The defense is just a major major flaw - it hasn't improved since his time in the org. It's likely regressed. It's just really really unfortunate.
  5. Oh, right. So that HBP off his glovehand was obviously worse than originally thought. BUMMER. That's another big loss to the Mudcats line-up if he misses extended time. They're without Baez already. If you lose Garcia too, that's two of your premium opportunistic bats. Ugh.
  6. Middendorf with a sharp 1-2-3 9th gives the Sounds a chance to walk-off this 2-2 ball game. The Miller error looms large but it can all go to sleep if they can do it in the bottom half.
  7. Walling is in a 2-2 count. Two down. He just swung and missed off-speed center cut in. Big moment. He takes low. Lays off. Full count. He lays off just low and below the zone. Heck of a take. Walling's second walk. Bases juiced once again for the switch hitting Reidy Mercado. Big moment for the struggling Mercado AND, perhaps predictably, he hits a weak first pitch grounder directly to the pitcher. That's a bad loss. The Mudcats outhit and largely outperformed the River Dogs. BUT, they made too many mistakes and got a rough relief outing in the middle. Two straight losses to the River Dogs who now have their first winning streak of their season! 😅
  8. I thought the same. Seemed a 'We've seen enough...' protective measure.
  9. Wilken is appearing to get under popping up everything right now. I sincerely wonder how much that helmet cage is impacting him. Castillo hits about the worst possible contact imaginable. A weak grounder directly to the SS playing in. He goes home. They then get the slow of foot Castillo at 1B. Double play. Wooooof.
  10. 2-0 count, the pitch carries inside and misses behind him to the backstop. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Nobody down. Garcia now intentionally walked. Bases juiced. Nobody down. Castillo will look to turn the tides - 1-for-4 tonight so far.
  11. Pratt reaches on a throwing error as the 3B looked Rodriguez back to 2B and then took way too long to get to 1B. Throw was wide up line and Pratt beat it regardless. Two men on. Nobody down for David Garcia who already has 3 hits.
  12. Meeker gets a swinging K for his second out. Men on corners. Two down. AND, Owen Miller gets eaten up by a hard hit grounder to 3B. Took a high hop on him but he has to make that play. 2-2 game now. That's a play he has to make to maintain the lead. Meeker gets the weak fly out to LF to end the threat with men on 1st and 2nd. Meanwhile, in Charleston Yophery Rodriguez just cracked a 106 mph lead-off double to open the 9th frame. Pratt to the dish as the Muddies look to pull off a complete comeback. They still trail 5-4. Nobody out.
  13. RHP Morris Austin is making things quite interesting in the bottom of the 8th of this one run game. He's conceded 2 BB's and a single. Thankfully, Mercado nabbed that runner at 3B! Men on 2nd and 3rd. Two down. 2-2 count. Austin gets the K looking to end the threat. Meanwhile, in Nashville Meeker is finding trouble in a 2-1 game top of the 8th. Men on the corners now. Only one down.
  14. In a 2-1 game, Tyler Black yet again demonstrated why he can be a hazard at 1B. He short arms a catchable toss from Zamora at SS (not a great throw by any measure) and the ball travels to the stands. Thankfully, Mejia is a heady defensive catcher. He sprinted to that ball and fired a dart to throw the runner out at 2B. Either way, Black is anything but a natural at 1B.
  15. Pretty much what I saw. That walk was pretty impactful when all was said and done. Lotta speed on the bases there. BUT, to your point, he lost the zone after the K. These hiccups are to be expected, however. He hasn't started games with the Shuckers for a long period of time at all. This is still all new.
  16. BIG OF assist by Reidy Mercado from RF. A bloop single into RF the lead runner rounded the bag and in a bang-bang play Mercado got him because the ball got there first tho the tag may have been applied a hair late during the slide. 5-4 River Dogs who get another out on the base paths.
  17. HUGE hit from Miguel Briceno. He takes a first pitch in-tailing off-speed pitch in the low portion of the zone and rips a double to the deep RF wall. That scores two more. All three men on base have scored. It is now a 5-4 ball game. Guilarte to the dish. A new pitcher coming to the mound. Two down. Tying run at 2B.
  18. And, just like that LHP Nate Peterson gives up a roaring double off the high LF wall. 6-0 Biscuits. The slog continues into the dark night.
  19. Big opportunity for the Mudcats here in the top of the 8th. Bases juiced. Nobody down. The Mudcats have outhit the River Dogs 7-3. They trail 5-1. Lotta sloppy play.
  20. Trailing 5-0, a routine grounder right to EBJ. He sails that ball by a good 3' and Boeve has to scale the ladder and can't get the tag down in time. These 2024 Shuckers. Where every play is impossibly hard. Next batter? Lays down a perfect bunt 3B side. Two men on. Nobody down. Is there a silver lining with this ball club? Maybe when the first half calendar flips to the second half?
  21. Yeah, I stepped outside to close a greenhouse when it was 1-0. A 3-0 deficit for the Shuckers is akin to 6-0 for a standard team. They just struggle in each and every way to score runs - including some very poor looking AB's. They are truly a lost ball club at present. Like utterly lost.
  22. RHP Jeison Pena comes on in relief and does a very Pena thing: launches pitch one about 6' outside the zone and to the backstop. AND, I see he's given up two runs. Also a very Pena thing to do. The struggle is mighty for the young and volatile righty. He is pulled for the second reliever of the frame - RHP Aidan Maldonado. Zero hits surrendered in Pena's two-spot. Very Pena. Muddies trail 5-1 headed to the 7th.
  23. Boy Pratt has absolutely smashed two balls tonight. Missed a HR to left CF by about 3' early. Got out in front of a slider with runners on the corners with two down in a 3-1 deficit here in the 5th. Absolutely crushed that ball. BUT, way in front. Unfortunate. He'll get there. He has that power in his frame. It's a matter of time for him to learn how to access it.
  24. This just in: RHP Shane Smith is continuing to deal as a starter. And, the Shuckers offense is continuing to leave him on an island. What's new? Not much for these offensively inept Shuckers in 2024. He just struck out the bookends in the third. 0-0 game. These Shuckers bats are not what you tune in for. Tune in for the small storlyines. Smith is absolutely front and center.
  25. Walling is having that kind of night where the baseball knows he's learning how to play 1B. He now can add getting absolutely eaten by a hard hit chopper down the line glove side. This is a journey for Walling at present. Tough sledding. Another runner on with a lead-off double in the 4th. Corniel's season continues to tail away as the Mudcats are trying to grab a playoff spot. Walling's play was ruled an error - no 2B. Likely the right call. Thankfully, Guilarte grabs the DP line out to 2B to end that current threat.
