Collins 3-run Oppo BLAST creeps over the wall in LF. WOW. That's my guy right there! It's suddenly a 5-4 deficit. That puppy just snuck out over the 330 marker. Beautiful swing. We have a ball game folks. Let's go! -
A Hinklen double to deep LF. A Roller shallow flare liner to RF. We have Sounds runners on 1st and 3rd with one down for 2B Isaac Collins. Sounds still trail 5-1.
-
Capra just scalded a 102 mph liner. Great contact. Right at a shifted 2B just off the bag up the middle. Boushley leaves after 5 2/3 IP and 68 pitches. Great return outing for the Boz.
-
No matter, Chirino adjusts (both he and Kahle have appeared flummoxed) and induces the DP. Two down. Chirino seems to be sitting 95-96 on his sinker. Curve coming into focus. He gets the K to end his inning. Fine work. Fine work in his Home debut. Everything I loved about his arsenal previously is showing.
-
THIS is prime example of how I simply do not trust the ABS zone or consistency. That is a strike at the knees. No doubt about it. That is directly over the zone. Called a ball. That's the third highly questionable ball this inning. The system just isn't 'science'. It's highly inconsistent. Not a fan. Let the umps call it and let the players challenge. That's the system. That was a beautiful pitch. Nonsense.
-
My first live look at RHP Harold Chirino in 2024. Quickly falls to 3-0 (a beautiful sinker must have barely missed low). Gets the swing and miss on the second pitch. Gets the check swing strike on high heat. 3-2 count and he misses just low again on a 96 mph sinker. First batter walk.
-
Fourth time in Five frames, Boushley mows down the Sounds 1-2-3. Same ol' lovable effective Boushley. Sure would look fantastic in a Sounds jersey right about now😅
-
Herget gets the weak chopper followed by two hard hit outs to escape unscathed for a 1-2-3 inning of work. Fine grab by Black. Fine run down by Roller in deep left CF. Sounds still trail 5-1 headed to their half of the 5th. In the Sounds bullpen RHP Harold Chirino is warming up.
-
Tyler Black web gem snags a hard hit smash liner turned chopper at 1B. He's looking very natural at 1B in the early going. That was not an easy stab and grab.
-
Herget impresses yet again. He strands two runners on a really nice change-up tailing in and then back away from the lefty bat. That's a nasty pitch. He gets out of the runners on 2nd and 3rd RISP jam for Junk and his team. Quality work. I like his demeanor.
-
And after getting Mirands in front of an inside breaking ball for the 2nd out, manager Rick Sweet will cross the 3B line chalk and signal to the bullpen. It looks like we're going to see RHP Kevin Herget to try and give his team some meaingful innings and a chance to sneak back into this one.
-
And, well, it was time to hang an off-speed pitch. Dead center cut hanging curve looped hard on a line out to shallow CF. 5-1 Saints. Runners on the corners. One down. Sounds have activity in the bullpen. Rough rough first outing for Junk. Two really rough innings can ruin a start.
-
He hangs another one on a dead center cut heater for another gapper blast to the wall. It bounced for a ground rule double, however. It's 4-1 Saints. One down. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Lotta of mistake pitches in this inning in between a lot of balls.
-
Junk gets the line out to LF for out numero uno. Junk then walks the next batter. Uncharacteristically wild outing for Junk here who only walked 44 batters in over 140 IP last season for the Sounds.
-
Wiemer then fails to track a ball to the wall in deep RF. He tried to cut it off where the grass met the warning track. Ball bounced over his glove and then caromed off the base of the wall. 2-1 Saints now and that batter reached 3B. They'll score it a triple. That was a botched play by Wiems. It was. Nobody down. The runner scored after getting on base via a five pitch walk. Junk then hangs a dead center cut heater on an 0-2 count. 3-1 Saints. That was an ugly pitch. Can't have that in that count. Lined it to deep left CF and we now have a runner on 2nd base with nobody down.
-
After another Capra K, Wiemer opens up and loses his back shoulder just ever so slightly popping up a Boushley hanger to 1B foul territory for the final out. If Wiemer is going to get back on track again he's going to have to do better with pitches like that. Poor form all the way around. On to the 4th. Close but yet so far.
-
Kahle lines a lawn dart to shallow RF. Sheffield raced in and attempted to make a shoestring grab to the glove side but the ball caromed to the grass and behind him. Kahle gets the base hit and RBI. A tough play, no doubt, but a play he may have made had he laid it - a classic 'in betweener'. Young probably would have tagged up either way. 1-1 ball game.
-
Productive out for Hernandez who pulls a grounder to the hole right of 2B and advances Young to 3B. The infield is now in with Kahle to the plate for his first AB.
-
In Chavez Youngs' first AB as a Sound he gets that opportunistic end-of-the bat warm burner to 3B with the infield shifted right. He'll take it and the Sounds have their first hit and base runner of their evening. A wild pitch to the backstop sends Young to 2B. Nobody down. 1-1 count to last night's hero, Yonny Hernandez.
-
Junk works another 1-2-3 inning - one pitch groundout to Hernandez at SS; high chopper charge and throw by Hernandez gets Miranda; Hinkel lines out sharply to deep RF - Wiemer turns around some in the wind but tracks it down ultimately smoothly and with ease. On to the bottom of the 3rd and the Sounds will once again look to wake sleepy bats.
-
Hicklen chopper to 3B and Miranda makes and expert scoop and throw on the pick-up for out 1. Roller K's swinging behind a high upper corner heater. Collins lines out into LF foul territory on a 1-2 count. On to the 3rd frame and it's still 1-0 Saints.
-
Black stabs a hard hit grounder that could have been trouble to his glove hand side. He made it look easy. You love to see it. That's out numero dos. Junk then fires a laser heater over the outer stripe. 3 K's through 2. Less than a dozen pitches in that frame. That's more like it. Shake the rust off and get dealing.
-
Junk opens his second inning K'ng his second batter on a heater dead center cut. I don't know what Williams was waiting for there but he now has 4 K in 6AB on his young season.
-
Black flies out to deep left CF. Three up and three down. Sounds trail 1-0 headed to the 2nd frame.
-
The ABS again shows its awkward zones - two highly suspect strikes called to K Capra. Both looked outside the zone but you have no recourse when this system is in place. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am quite a bit more a fan of the challenge system. I find stadium-to-stadium and batter-to-batter even the zone is inconsistent and unpredictable. Wiemer goes down swinging on a very nice curveball from Boz. I am used to seeing that when he's wearing a Sounds jersey!
