Vennaro did job one very well: get weak contact off the bat of Junior Caminero. He got an absurdly weak dribbler to the 3B side of the mound. And Vennaro then successfully barehanded the grab. Everything from there was a quagmire. He threw an extremely awkward flat footed and leaning back wild throw up the 1B line off of Caminero's helmet. He goes to 2B and the runner scores from 3B. It's now 8-3 Shuckers. They ruled that a hit. Vennaro had plenty of time to make that play - I once again remain mystified by a scoring decision. -
Mudcats lose game 1 at Home, 4-3. RHP Chase Costello will take the loss. That's a rough one. AND, to further our punishment in this one we will be given the delicious Texas Rangers Low-A video blackout. It's to the radio call with Greg Young where we will look to lick our wounds and find solace in a hopeful game 2 victory.
-
Clarke solo jack. It's 8-1 Shuckers in the 5th. Let's GO! Mudcats trail 4-3 and see their second opposing runner at 3rd base in two innings. Two down. Runner on 3rd. Top of the 9th. RHP Bayden Root on the hill.
-
Costello has given up the leading runs in the 6th (inherited) and now the 8th innings. Ugh. The once super dependable right-hander has now become highly erratic, unfortunately, in his late season bullpen innings. Wood Ducks back on top 4-3 in the 8th. Man on 2nd. One down.
-
The Mudcats tie the game in the 7th on a fielding error at 2B off the bat of INF Jadher Areinamo. Barrios scores from 3rd and we are knotted at 3-3 headed to the 8th. Heck of a First game of the Divisional Round! It's important to remember the Wood Ducks led the Carolina League in combined pitching ERA over the entirety of the season. It is their bread and butter. Big run there!
-
My internet goes down again and I miss a Wilken salami and the Midcats lost their lead?! Is there no baseball justice? 😂
-
We are singing the Natty in Biloxi as we look to get this tantalizing series underway. Meanwhile, we are just about to start the fifth inning in Zebulon. Glory be to meaningful September Minor League baseball!
-
Avina goes down swinging on a low off-speed that sunk to his feet. Two down now as the Mudcats look to send Baez across homeplate. When he reached 3B there was nobody out. The Hall chopper to SS and now Avina's K send Barrios to the dish. Barrios lines a one-hopper to deep SS but the Wood Cuks shortsop makes a fantastic stab and throw. Baez is stranded. We move to the 5th and it's 2-0 Mudcats.
-
Baez sends an oppo ripper off the wall in deep RF. Credit to Sibrian who scored alllll the way from 1B - heck of a read by the catcher! It's 2-0 Mudcats. Hall grounds out to SS. One down. Baez at 3B with Avina to the dish. Unreal base running from the talented catcher who continues to shine in 2023.
-
Three up and three down for Henderson after 4 IP. Pitch count at 56.
-
Chirinos has just been owning anything down the 1B line through 3 1/3 IP here in the fourth. He has 3 PO's himself in two diving stabs and now a casual grab on another liner down the line.
-
O'Rae HBP. Areinamo line out to 2B. O'Rae CS on a pitch out (thrown out by a good 3' - they knew it was coming). Chirinos swinging K on a beautiful off-speed pitch dipping to the outer stripe. On to the 4th. 1-0 Mudcats.
-
Weak pop fly to RF and the runner holds. Two down now for Henderson and the Mudcats in the 3rd. He gets the dangerous Villarroel (he has hit the Mudcats plenty in 2023) with a swinging K on another of his patented high rising heaters. That's now 4 K through 3 IP. He successfully works around the lead-off double. Impressive work!
-
Benefits of CF Dylan O'Rae: Good luck getting any hanging bloops to hit that shallow CF grass. He races from deep CF and manages to beat out the charging Nicasia and Areinamo and smoothly collects the first out. This keeps the runner at 1B. He can cover so much ground.
-
Henderson hung a heater dead center (Sibrian was calling for it high and outside) and it is crushed off the right CF wall. That's a lead-off double. Nobody out. His next pitch rode high and inside and nearly took off the batters helmet. Yowza.
-
3rd Inning Starting in Zebulon and here are your Pitch Counts: Henderson - 32 Porter - 39
-
Barrios follows with an oppo liner broken bat single to RF. Wunderbar. Pitch count up to 33 for the talented Porter. Nicasia to the dish with Barrios at 1B. Nicasia works the count full laying off a tasty high heater. Nicasia then swings on another borderline pitch dipping above the zone (by my eyes). Porter has 5 K through 2 IP but has given up 3 H - including the Avina mammoth shot.
-
AVINA!!!!! OFF the Video Board. A solo blast. Woot woot. 1-0 Mudcats. Two down. 2-0 count. He absolutely crushed a dead center cut heater. Whewwww baby!
-
INF Cam Devanney just poked a 2-2 lunging pitch blooping it into shallow LF. Just a savvy savvy vet knock there to send across the Sounds first run. 1-0 in the 2nd inning now. What an awesome ugly poke that was.
-
Baez makes a really nice charging scoop on a weird short-hop chopper to 3B. He fires an accurate dart to Chirinos at 1B for the second out. Really nice play on a tricky bounce. Nice to see! Henderson is now in a favorable 0-2 count. Two down. Nobody on. And, he gets the swing and miss on a foul tip to Sibrian on a high rising outside heater. 3 K apiece now for Henderson and Porter (who has yet to pitch in the 2nd).
-
Chirinos flashing leather early has made two stellar stabs deep beyond 1B - diving stops. He grabs the first out her in the 2nd frame by snaring a 1-1 hard hit liner just within the 1B foul line. He pops and runs to the bag himself.
-
Porter gets his 3rd K of his first inning on another high heater. He got two strike three whiffs on a comparable high-rising ripper. What a fun Low-A pitching match-up this is. Both these young men compete for days.
-
After two K's, Chirinos sits back on a low sinking breaking ball and pokes a liner into mid-CF for the Mudcats first hit. Both teams have one knock now. Porter's pitch count is at 12 in a 1-1 count to C Jose Sibrian.
-
Man, what I would give to have RHP Brock Porter in the Brewers system. His stuff is electric. 😅 I say this regardless of what happens tonight. He just has all the tools. All of them.
-
2 K's in inning 1 for Henderson - a swinging K on an outside dipping change-up and a swinging K on a high-rising heater on the outer half. Both beautiful pitches.
