  1. Yerlin just touched 97 mph. AND, gets K numero dos on a 96 mph just off the outer stripe. He looks filthy. AND, this is the filthy I was routinely telling you was possible back in 2023 if he could pull it together. Robbed of strike 1 in batter 3. Runner takes 2B. Indifference - Wood clearly displeased with that blown call. Gets strike 2 on an inner stripe (to a lefty) on a 96 mph heater. 1-1 count. Misses a slider well outside - two in a row off target. 2-1. Rips a 87 breaking ball dead center upper part of the zone. Hitter looks. 2-2 count. Tries to come with high heat and it sails high and outside. Full count. He doesn't want to turn the lineup here. AND NO he doesn't he drills a breaking ball on the center upper corner. Just a gorgeous pitch. Folks, this is a set-up and closer at the MLB level. He just is. No doubt about it in my mind. He can rip 95-97 mph. He can bring a nasty slider. He can change that angle as a pure breaking/curve 12-6 pitch. T-Rats win 3-1. I absolutely LOVE this victory.
  2. Yerlin is sitting 95-96 but the only thing hitting the zone is his slider. Heater just off. Missed with a 3-2 slider inside. A man on 1B. One down.
  3. RHP Yerlin Rodriguez on to the mound to try and close things out and he threw pitch one in the dirt. Pitch two was about a foot outside. BUT, his slider hit pay dirt on the outer half. Slider two mirrors slider one. Pay dirt. 2-2 count. And, slider 3 just as gorgeous gets the check swing strike as it curled off the plate. Out 1. Gorgeous array of off-speed action there.
  4. BTW, the Cubs announcers are just gushing over O'Rae and Lara. Really gushing over O'Rae - who I was gushing about back in his ACL days. I feel seen. I just feel seen. 😆
  5. Acosta's silly pick-off there was costly in terms of insurance runs. He would have advanced to 3B on a grounder to 2B. And Mr. On Base Dylan O'Rae would have sent him home with an oppo liner. Instead, well, it's just another single for O'Rae. Should have been an rbi.
  6. OH hey, the Sounds are leading 14-1. Noice!
  7. Jose Acosta brought aboard to pinch run and he's picked off 2B before the first pitch. Talk about a long trot back to the dugout. 😅
  8. Chirinos follows up with an 0-2 oppo smash to the warning track and it's 3-1. Love it. The T-Rats are playing fundamentally sound baseball. You love to see it and it isn't surprising with Estevez as the manager.
  9. I can not impart to you how important and filled with winning that Luis Lara snag was. C Matt Wood lead-off double. 2B Jadher Areinamo hard chopper single up the gut and Wood beats the throw home as it skips over the catcher's glove trying to tag. 2-1 Wisconsin. Winners make winning plays. This one's for you Mr. Lara:
  10. HOLY COW Luis Lara just absolutely robbed the Cubs of a lead-taking oppo smash that surely would have gone to the wall and scored one if not two. My gods what a play! Great jump. Sprinting gazelle like split leap webbing tip grab. Unreal play to keep the game tied 1-1. Two down now. I'll try to find a highlight. That was special sauce. Hey now we have a field level highlight for you all. Unreal play that doesn't really do justice here but you get the drift:
  11. Hats off to Polancic he throws a gutsy full count breaking ball to get his first out on a pop up to Adams on the dirt right of 1B. Huge pitch. Looks like Estevez is making a call to the bullpen. 1-1. One down. Meanwhile, Mr. Brewer Hicklen just launched an oppo two run jack over the RF wall and it's 10-1 Sounds over the Red Birds.
  12. Meanwhile Bowman came on in relief of Shane Smith with runners on the corners and walked his first batter on four pitches. Yeeesh.
  13. AND Polancic is really struggling. He has walked consecutive batters. Estevez is going to let him try and pitch his way out of his struggles. 1-1 game. And it's ball 1 to his next batter.
  14. RHp Shane Smith just gave up a fly ball two out rbi deep single to Campbell in LF. Shuckers trail 2-0. AND, Polancic just gave up an 8th inning solo shot and we are tied 1-1 in South Bend.
  15. Childers works around a one out single. And a wild pitch advancing the runner to 2B. He K's two consecutive. With the runner on second base, he K'd his final batter on 3 straight masterful pitches mixed along the outer stripe. Gorgeous work. T-Rats still lead 1-0.
  16. He just needed me to opine publicly he's in an ongoing slump. The exit velo is finally being rewarded and he's lifting the ball again! Meanwhile, Junk just gave up a double deep to the warning track in right scoring one. He has runners on 2nd and 3rd with one down. It's 8-1 Sounds.
  17. AND, Dylan O'Rae hits a two-out oppo blooper down the 3B line into the shallow RF grass and it scores the T-Rats first run. It's 1-0. Let's go men. Runners on 1st and 2nd for Lara.
  18. Rain is coming down in Memphis as the Sounds have the bases juiced and just walked in their 8th run. They lead the Classiest Triple-A ball club 8-0. Woot woot.
  19. It's RHP Bayden Root's second consecutive outing where he's loaded the bases. Interesting tactic. He did just manage to get a K swinging. He walked the bases full in his first outing. I missed what happened here and he did just give up a one run line drive single to RF. One down. Mudcats now trail 4-1.
  20. The runner takes 3B. AND Smith ends up giving up an 0-2 double deep the warning track in LF. Just a bad pitch. You can't be hanging that 0-2. Woooof. Shook deserved much better. And, bringing on the lefty to face consecutive righty bats might be a move Ayrault regrets in the end.
  21. RHP TJ Shook's evening ends after a weak pop fly flare found the grass between a sliding Noah Campbell and a charging Cargo Rodriguez. It winds up a double. He completes 4 2/3 scoreless with 5 K. The change-up. The chef's kiss. Fantastic first outing. Exactly what I was hoping to see. This young man has all the tools if he can keep grinding. LHP Russ Smith will inherit the runner and face the righty bat in Conley.
  22. Mudcats strand 3. They drive in one via walk. Pratt ultimately flew out to CF. Hall grounded out sharply to 2B. They trail 3-1 headed to the 9th.
  23. Pratt likely robbed of an RBI grounder down the 3B line. Barrios absolutely robbed of a line drive right on the chalk for RBI's. He ultimately strikes out and strands 2. Brutal.
  24. Ahhhh yes the tale of Minor League umps as both Carolina and the T-Rats were just robbed of RBI hits down the 3B line. Unrealy botched call in South Bend. I mean that ball drew a massive dust cloud of chalk. Barrios just absolutely robbed. Ugh.
  25. Baez foul pops a 3-2 ball to 3B foul territory. Yophery takes a 3-2 pitch for ball 4. And it's a 3-1 game. Pratt will be to the dish. One down.
