    Really happy for Max. And reallllllllly sad we couldn't enjoy that type of breakout for a Brewers affiliate. Grateful he is healthy amd absolutely slinging it. Phillies see him as a future Closer for them.

    You know you are walking in the deep weeds when your top 'scouting' report is: "German. Appeared several times in a promotional video. Tall." I think it is fair to say: We know nothing at this time other than what we may glean in the DSL.

    Key plays in that T-Rats game were defensive plays - despite the clutch deliveries at the dish (which were also obviously quite nice). Wood's key grab and lunging tag at home plate in a bases loaded scenario in the fourth - quite an agile play there. Crucial. Vargas' savvy and adept decision to relay to Adams standing in the third baseline running path as a key relay throw in the 9th. It would be quite easy for a LF'er to feel antsy and go for more than he should at home plate with his pitcher (Root) struggling mightily yet again. But, Vargas makes the smart play and fires to Adams who cuts off the runner and gets him in a run down back to second to apply the tag. Those two plays were huge in allowing chance for victory. This team just shows time and time again the ability to make the plays needed to scratch and claw their ways to wins. So enjoyable to watch.

    Carolina plays suddenly fading Fredericksburg - who only a series ago it feels was a mere 1.0 G back. They've fallen to 3 games over - tho, imho, still very dangerous. Muddies then play at a Columbia team who is now 5 games over and in 2nd place in their division - they'll have those two make-ups from earlier rain outs. SO, to that end, I think the Mudcats have 11 games remaining. I would like to think they could seal the first half with series splits BUT I also know I've seen the Mudcats come into late first half scenarios in tight races and get swept. I am fragile, Jim. A fragile fan. 😅

    T-Rats Full Game Highlights package begins with an Areinamo walk?!? Be still my heart. You think Chris Mehring is excited to see a potential first half Division Title? The first of any kind for the T-Rats since 2012? Maybe just a little? His calls have been so fun this season. You love the passion!

    It is never every clear, is it?! Like I can never find explicit info unless I reach out directly to each club. Needless to say, it would appear the series taking place third week of June. OR, another way of saying it: I believe they each have roughly two more series to close the first half. Well, scratch that, the T-Rats only have 9 games remaining. SO, would that mean the first half ends mid-way through their series next week? It would appear so. The main difference, then, is Carolina will have two double-headers with a much better Columbia team (than their original series, at least) to make up for their two postponements earlier this season. SO, Carolina has 11 games (?). Spitballing here. I know the T-Rats have 9 to play and their 'magic number' is 6.

    I personally appreciate his subtle base running nod and fist bump to maligned (El) Juan Baez. That's a next level savvy vet move for such a cagey young man!
  8. Joseph Zarr
    The four full-season affiliates are now a combined 25 games over 0.500. Nice bounce back series for the Shuckers, Muddies and T-Rats both 15 games over and in first place. Sounds now 5 games over trailing Omaha by a mere 9.5 G 😁.

    Been saying it for near two months: None of these Levels matter to Yoho. He is an MLB reliever yesterday. Just an absolute stud with filthy stuff.
  10. Joseph Zarr
    AND major work by Carrasco - K and fly out to RF to end the threat. 6-3 Muddies and the affiliates have swept!
  11. Joseph Zarr
    It's another classic RHP Jesion Pena show going on in the 9th frame. 1 H, 2 BB, 1 WP, 1 ER. He leaves with the bases juiced and only grabbing one out via K. Pitching a grand total of 1/3 IP. Stanley has brought on RHP Christofher Carrasco to try his best to eliminate this threat. Yikes.
  12. Joseph Zarr
    They've intentionally walked Wood to load the bases. Hall sac flies to LF to score O'Rae. This team is amazing. They have so much GRIT. 6-5 W.
  13. Joseph Zarr
    My baseball gods, they've done it. Tie game 5-5. Nobody down. Men on the corners. Wood at the dish.
  14. Joseph Zarr
    Hard not to be impressed with the make-up, priorities, and approach of just 22 years old, Alexander Cornielle. Validating why several of us here still found him to be the gem of that 2022 call-up pool from Carolina. Nice to see, beyond the actual pitching, he has all the developing mental/emotional tools to succeed as he climbs the ladder. Thanks for sharing this, Seth!

    Getting Garcia back these past two games after that HBP off his glove hand earlier in the series is BIG. With Baez down, Garcia acts as a stabilizing force in their line-up. He's truly had a fantastic first half. Really happy to see him play in back-to-back contests.

    ...which was due to the ABS system. Which also has caused many many issues globally .
  17. Joseph Zarr
    It's quite important to note: The International League has ABS. Like Jeff Hem, I personally believe the system sucks(OK, Jeff didn't say it 'sucks' but I'll help him get there😅) - zero feel. I'm a Challenge System guy 24:7:365. Rodriguez is a pitcher who thrives with a human ump. The way he tickles the fringes of the zone is maximized when a human being is having their experience watching his tailing and sinking pitches give off the illusions of strikes. It works in Cargo's favor more-so than most pitchers who don't lean as heavily on lower-velo offerings. I personally believe the entire gambit helps his heater play up in the zone as well. His adjustment period, imho, was learning to adapt to cookie cutter strike zones. Hopefully, it only makes him a more resilient pitcher.

    Velo still down. Sigh.

    RHP Evan McKendry with his best outing of his season in a long relief role. 4 IP, 3 H. 0 BB, 0 R, 6 K. He got the Sounds all the way to the 8th frame as they managed to tie it 1-1 in the bottom of the 7th. Unfortunately, LHP Rob Zastryzny had an uncharacteristically wild inning of work (3 BB) and gave the lead back to the Bats. Sounds trail 2-1 in the bottom of the 8th - one down.

    IF the T-Rats can hold on here, they'll have a chance to push their lead in first place to 3.5 G over the Kernels of Cedar Rapids. T-Rats lead 6-3 (tho, we are in a sudden rain delay in the bottom of the 5th) and he Kernels trail 2-1 (albeit, in only the 3rd frame). Needless to say, lots at stake every game for the T-Rats n Muddies from here on out to close the first half in a couple weeks.
  21. Joseph Zarr
    With Carolina winning tonight, and with second place Lynchburg currently getting smacked by Delmarva, the stage is set for the Muddies to open back a 4.0 G lead on first place. Big time!

    Speaking of Anderson in particular, he was a 'Sleeper' for Baseball 'Merica when their Brewers post-Int'l Signing period completed: Pretty spot on scouting report through 3 games here.
  23. Joseph Zarr
    Luis Pena: 1 2B, 2-for-2, 3 R, 1 RBI, 3 SB Crew Uno lead 8-6 CF Jose Anderson (de Los Dos): 2nd Dinger this week. 1-fpr-2, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HR
  24. Joseph Zarr
    The Game-Thread title is obviously cheeky BUT... Two crunch time triples for Made in less than a week. One a walk-off. Another 2-RBI poke today. Let's all, in the very least, appreciate the start we are seeing from the headliners in this 2024 International Class. Made, Pena, and Quintana have all gotten off to fantastic starts. Major kudos to them in their first professional moments.
