2nd batter induces a jam shot bloop flare to Zamora at 2B just on the edge of the OF grass. Meanwhile RHP Trevor Megill looks fantastic in a 1-2-3 inning of rehab relief work - 2 K. Touched 99 mph throughout and got the last K swinging on a filthy off-speed pitch. And Yeager grabs the Save. Shuckers have suddenly won 4 in a row. 16 scoreless innings for the Shuckers bullpen in a row I do believe. Shuckers pitching echoing what I am seeing throughout the system in early 2024: PITCHING. PITCHING. PITCHING. -
RHP Justin Yeager on to try and Save it in Biloxi. First batter: Strikes him out on a high riding 94 mph heater. Nooooice.
-
His name is Isaac Collins. Put some dang respect on that name - I swear I've been pounding his drum for over a year. His 3rd XBH of his evening ripping a line drive rocket to the wall in deep right CF. He drives in Dorrian. It's now 9-8 Omaha. Collins has 2 doubles and a triple to round his evening. He continues to prove to every one of us: he is a stud.
-
Merkel successfully works around a two-out single down the 1B line by throwing a 16" induced hammer curve for the swing-and-miss. He truly does have a fantastic breaking ball. On to the bottom half and the Shuckers are clinging to a 3-1 lead.
-
He did get the 4-6-3 DP in the very next AB. The tale of that inning, however, was that ugly ugly Black botched pop fly. You want to understand why he isn't in the Majors as of yet? He is just becoming a liability on defense on a near nightly basis. It's the very sober sad truth at present.
-
Blackwood on in relief walks his first batter on four straight pitches. THIS is the vast majority of Brewers Minor League baseball I have had the opportunity to watch live tonight. I'm beginning to think walking away originally to plant things was the better move. 9-7 Omaha. Long gone are the 17 IP @ Memphis where the bullpen didn't give up a single run.
-
Just catching up to the Mudcats, I see RHP Jeison Pena gave us his best flashback 2023 performance. A nice 6-spot inning that wasted Rodriguez's fantastic start.
-
Another single to LF. A line drive. Bases still juiced. 8-7 Omaha. What an ugly inning. Blackwood is getting the call.
-
Bennett running into trouble here in the top of the 6th. Men on the corners and one down. He saw a 100 mph liner to 3B Dorrian couldn't quite corral cleanly. He just saw a 107 mph dart to shallow left. AND, just like that Tyler Black thought he'd showcase why he is so questionable on defense. Yuck. Charging a very very weak pop up just inside the 3B line he somehow was allowed to call it; sprint full speed; lunge; and biff the fly off the heel of his glove. On so many levels, that just can not happen. Some just really really poor defensive plays have proved costly for the Sounds tonight. Bases juiced now. And Bennett falls to a 2-0 count. Ugly. AND it is a 7-7 ball game.
-
Nicasia missed a deep fly by a matter of inches. He hit that deep fly very well but it landed as a standard out to the CF warning track.
-
Rodriguez stole 3rd base and then scored on a WP. Hall advances to 2B. 7-5 Bad Guys. One down as Guilarte K'd singing on a high heater. 2nd out as Castillo grounds out weakly to 2B. Hall at 3B. Garcia to the dish. Garcia walks on 4 pitches. Men on corners. Two down. Mound visit.
-
Hall just hit a single up the middle. Men on 1st and 2nd nobody down. Mudcats pull within 7-4. Rally cap is on.
-
Gutierrez starts his se cond frame like he endured his first: a blast to the RF wall for a one hop double. He is hanging em and getting hit hard and when he isn't he's missing or his fielders are letting him down it would appear. An inauspicious beginning for the righty.
-
AND, just like that Omaha gets 2 more runs on a sinking line drive single to LF 4-0. BUT, the Sounds get the relay at the plate for the third out. Mercifully, Gutierrez's ugly first inning of work with the Brewers ends with his pitch count already mid 30's. Yikes. His heater was sitting 92-93 mph. Enitrely too many pitches seeing the meat of the plate.
-
Guiterrez walks in his 2nd run on a full count near miss on the lower center part of the plate. His pitch count at 31, we see LHP Nick Bennett warming up in the Pen. Just an ugly ugly first frame for the Sounds - sloppy baseball. New pitcher scuffling.
-
Facing ol' Brewers system legend, Cam Devanney and 25 pitches on his first inning count, Gutierrez drops a dime on the outer stripe for his 2nd out. Bases are juiced. 2 down. Gutierrez is struggling but Monasterio really let him down with that absurd high pop fly he let fall to the grass.
-
Meanwhile, Monasterio and Young completely botch an absurdly high pop fly to shallow CF. THIS IS UGLY baseball early. Yuck.
-
Gutierrez hangs a dead center slider for an easy poke to shallow left center and drives in the first run. Ugly pitch. Sounds trail 1-0.
-
Augusta is on the board first with a double to the wall. Meanwhile Omaha just ripped a deep double over the wall in Right CF.
-
Yhoswar Garcia singles to LF through the 3B/SS gap and then is nearly picked off 1B after standing on 2B and not seeing the 2B camped under the fly ball. On the very next batter, he's picked off 1B. Not a good way to follow up the Mudcats second hit of the evening. 0-0 into the bottom of the 3rd. Meanwhile Augusta gets their first knock - a single to RF - after Acosta failed to corral it sliding to his left. On the next pitch, a slider in the dirt, the same batter takes 2B easily.
-
He gets the 2nd out with a broken bat flare to the shallow RF grass where old friend Jose Acosta successfully grabbed it with ease. He gets the 3rd out with a casual pop fly to CF and Yophery easily grabs it. Looking very sharp in every facet tonight for the young righty!
-
3rd K for Rodriguez on an inside slider to get his first out in the 2nd frame. He is sitting 87-90 on his sinker with good depth and a very effective slider in the mix as his primary off-speed offering.
-
Nicasia really putting together a nice AB here in the 7-spot as the DH. Takes the count full. Fouls off two consecutive. Then looked like he clearly check swung successfully on a change up down and in AND both the 1B coach and manager Nick Stanley came out to complain about the missed call. That was a good AB and likely should have been a free pass. Regardless, Mudcats hitless and scoreless through two innings.
-
C David Garcia just attempted a 3B side bunt single. BUT, it was too close to the mound. Garcia was trucking and may have more athleticism than we knew coming into this season.
-
RHP Manuel Rodriguez starts his evening with an 8 pitch K on a 90 mph heater with good run on the outer stripe for the swing and miss. He gets a pop out to 3B foul territory on 1 pitch for his second out. On a 2-2 pitch, Rodriguez grabs his 2nd K on an outer half sinker. A 1-2-3 inning and the Mudcats will bat again in the 2nd frame.
