Briceno pops up weakly behind the pitcher's mound. That was an ugly choice on a first pitch heater up and in. Lay off that pitch, young man. -
Yhoswar does what he does. Finds a hit. Shattered his bat but that flare landed in the OF grass and found its way to the foul territory 3B wall. 51 mph off the bat as it shattered in pieces down the 3B line. 6-4. Diaz then advances the runners to 2nd and 3rd on a ground out to 1B. One down.
-
A walk and now a single by Castillo has runners on 1st and 2nd with nobody down in the bottom of the third. Yhoswar to the dish.
-
Arm is currently in a sling. UGH. Which mean, if I'm not mistaken, the Muddies only have two bench players at present with Nicasia and now Baez down.
-
0-2 count? Slider way low and outside. 1-2 count? Slider way outside and away. 2-2 count? Hangs a heater and gives up a grand slam. That just can not happen. Literally the only power bat in their lineup. Had already just missed on two heaters that were fouled back. Can not pitch that pitch there and in that situation. Ugly ugly stuff. That was Corniel's worst inning of his season. By a big stretch. Woof.
-
BIG K there for Corniel. Now a ground ball can end the frame. Let's dig deep young man!
-
It's been really rough. Just completely lost his ability to attack the zone. Two plunked. His third BB. Bases juiced. Nobody down. Mistakes aplenty when ahead in the counts to boot.
-
What I'm seeing early here with Corniel in this outing is he is too predictable when he is up 0-2 in the count (which has been on numerous occasions). He is doing only two things: throwing a high heater well above the zone. OR throwing off speed low and away. Now he gives up a line drive single through the gap in SS and 3B. AND, poor communication in the infield allowed the runner to advance to 2B. This is the poorest inning in terms of executing I have seen from the Mudcats in some time. 3-2 game now. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Still nobody down. Clear work for Corniel ahead of him is what to do when he gets ahead in counts. He can't be this predictable.
-
Corniel got ahead 0-2 on the next batter. Then missed to 2-2. Then gave up a very well hit deep double. 3-1 game. Still nobody out. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Troubling inning.
-
Muddies scored their third run, btw, on a Yophery broken bat 100 mph double to RF. Pratt followed with a single to CF.
-
So, Corniel had two BB's coming into the 3rd up 3-0. He now has plunked the first two batters of his inning. Men on 1st and 2nd. Nobody down. That second one was with a 1-2 count. Yikes. He just equaled his season total.
-
Corniel with his second walk of his outing. He was at 2-2 in the count. Nice chase pitch low and out of the zone. Then he just missed low on a heater. He has one down via a weak pop fly to Castillo in RF. With the runner leaving before contact, the next batter flies out to deep right CF. It was a 93 mph fly out to deep center. AND, just like that C Blayberg Diaz guns down the runner trying to take 2nd base. He threw an absolute dart. Had the runner by 4-5'. Wow.
-
I continue to really like Yhoswar Garcia (despite what happens in this AB). He has some of the most professional AB's on the squad. He just stays within himself. Fights off pitches. Finds hits.
-
I absolutely knew Castillo was about to K. And, well, he did. Like Yophery, very susceptible to anything off-speed low and below the zone. Like clockwork. Two down.
-
Walling ropes a sharp single at about 104 mph (whew) through the gap and into LF. Bases juiced now for David Garcia (2-out-of-5 on the season with the bases dripping). He lines one to the wall in RF. Two runs score. Yeah baby. A standing dub! First pitch. He smacked that ball.
-
Mudcats are facing a Delmarva starter with a 0.75 Road ERA on his season. 12 IP the addendum here. Baez hits about the slowest roller hit up the 3B line imaginable. After Pratt's walk, we have two on. Noice.
-
Yophery in the lead-off spot we see a familiar K. Swinging and missing by quite a bit on an off-speed pitch (pulling him out of the batters box) followed by a K looking at a heater. I'ver seen versions of this strikeout on a regular basis as he searches for the finer details of professional AB's.
-
He gets a lazy pop fly to mid LF for out one. Walks the next batter on five pitches. Bounces back with two off-speed pitches for an 0-2 count - barely misses strike 3 looking on a high just outside heater. He gets the K anyway on another heater right on the outer stripe. Beautiful pitch. Two down. Up 0-2 again against the red hot Acevedo and he gets the K swinging on a gorgeous off-speed pitch. Heck of a recovery. Mudcats to bat shortly.
-
Corniel gives up a first pitch double. We start with a man in scoring position after one pitch.
-
I believe the Tin Caps may lament their 2-for-18 with RISP and 15 LOB. Yikes. You get walked 9 times? You have to have a break out inning in there.
-
I'm telling you and I'm going to keep telling you: Manager Victor Estevez managed teams fight and claw their ways to victories. They have grit. They win in different ways. He hasn't had power in his line-up, realllllly, in either season. Yet, he keeps his players aggressive. He manages aggressively. He is the crowned managerial jewel in the system. He has that 'It' you just don't find all that often. He knows how to press just the right buttons. We live and die with the outs on the base paths - that's the T-Rats identity.
-
Sheesh, he smashed that ball. That very well may have gone over the scoreboard? If so, that's a mammoth shot.
-
He absolutely has to improve his free passes (including WP's) over the course of the second half. If he can't? He'll likely go unprotected. As I've said on several occasions: Absolutely has MLB 'stuff'. Undeniable. BUT, each and every season, at various junctures he loses his ability to harness any aspect of his top-shelf tools. It's a problem. 21 K: 20 BB on the season. 2.22 WHIP in May. He needs to find that form of April where he was still walking too many guys but his elite tools were shutting threats down with force and dominance. We can work with a 1.38 WHIP at this stage if the other team can't hit you. It's tough to work with 11 BB in only 9 IP when the other teams are hitting 0.257 BAA. Either way, what he has innately is special. AND, he just turned 22 years old in late March so the addendum here is: time is on his side. But, an honest assessment (as you've shown here), would still classify him in the same tier of 'Unknown' with talented RHP's Jesus Rivero and Quinton Low. All three have shown stretches of brilliance. All three have shown stretches of confounding ineffectiveness. Of the three, Rodriguez IMHO shows the most MLB-caliber of stuff.
-
Holy cow. They came back in the 9th?!? My baseball gods, this team continues to defy the odds night in and night out. Unreal.
