  1. We couldn't ask for a better set of circumstances to watch the final six games of the Shuckers regular season. This is a true gift to us as fans. Hopefully, the players respond with some incredible baseball and hopefully we are gifted with another set of post-season circumstances. I am still pinching myself over the two plays SS Freddy Zamora made in the 8th inning of game 5 at Birmingham to ensure the tying runs didn't cross home plate. I've been looking for that defense in key spots for over a year...and to get it at the most crucial of moments was just awesome as a fan. Just awesome.
  2. And, in a season filled with record breaking mark for the Shuckers team they just set the franchise record mark with 40 Road Wins in a season. Incredible stuff we've seen in 2023 as the team got more comfortable and played their best ball when the season mattered most.
  3. What's crazier to me is they went 11-1 @ Tennessee and @ Birmingham and they literally made up zero games. Heck of a tightly contested finish here with the Biscuits.
  4. I think it is fair to say I may be watching this game a couple more times this week. Glorious. Absolutely glorious!
  5. As we head into the make-or-break Shuckers homestand, I am officially on CF Jackson Chourio slump watch. He continues to look rushed and inconsistent in his mechanics at the plate. We know this can all change in the blink of a single game or a single AB, but it is worth mentioning: 0-for-2, 1 K so far today. Now, 3-for-25 at Birmingham in their biggest series of the year to date. 0 BB, 5 K in the series. 1 3B, 1 RBI, 2 R. With the Rays' Junior Caminero just ripping a solo shot in the 7th to extend the Biscuits lead over Chattanooga 2-0, it is fair to state: the Shuckers absolutely need a better version of Chourio in their final six games. I don't think this is all that debatable. He has to be better, more composed, and find better AB's.
  6. The Chattanooga Lookouts are a whopping 0-for-1 with RISP. Montgomery is 0-for-0 - their lone run (their only hit through 5 IP) was a solo shot in the third frame. Montgomery still leads 1-0 after the Lookouts strand runners on 1st base in both their 5th and 6th inning AB's.
  7. Abad's line reads - 0 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 1 HR, 4 ER. His ERA escalates to an unhealthy 12.46 in an offical 4 1/3 IP out of the Sounds bullpen.
  8. This is a very good thing given Montgomery is once again leading the Lookouts. Heading to the bottom of the 5th. 1-0. Tight ballgame. Hopefully, the Lookouts can actually pull one out. Heading into the final homestand only a 0.5 GB is a much different picture than 1.5 GB. Captain Obvious opines!
  9. The Sounds are on their way to completing a 5-1 series versus the Memphis Redbirds. AND, they will likely not gain a single game on the first place Durham Bulls (they're kind of good, this Rays organization...kind of good) who lead 1-0 early at Charlotte. The Sounds will most likely remain 5.5 GB with 12 games to play. They have managed to leapfrog two foes as they are now in 8th place overall in the International League. Thankfully, for the Sounds they will play these same Charlotte Knights this week while the Bulls will play the Louisville Bats who just managed to take the last two games versus the St. Paul Saints. Regardless, the point still stands: It is highly unlikely the Sounds make any push for a playoff birth though it is still mathematically possible. They simply need to focus on another impactful series versus the lowly Charlotte Knights.
  10. Depending upon how Peoria's game goes tonight vs Beloit (and, for all I really know the Chiefs may have packed things in when they won the Division), the T-Rats will either miss the Playoffs by 1.0 G or they will miss it by a head-to-head series record with the second half winning Peoria Chiefs. Naturally, this same Cedar Rapids Kernels team the T-Rats just beat four consecutive times with a 4-2 closing series victory actually won both halves by decent margins but the playoff spot is then granted to the team with the second best record. Which is, I am disgusted to say, the Cardinals' Peoria Chiefs by a hair🤭.
  11. @sveumrules: The filth of Shears. Just check out these splitters he throws. What you don't see in these highlights is several 95 mph arm-side running heaters he worked up and in on both hitters in this 3-2 nailbiter T-Rats victory. I've timestamped the two closing and consecutive splitter punch out pitches. Just downright filthy. One of the best pitches in the entire system. Full stop. It freezes hitters in their stance. It just dies like a spiraling duck:
  12. I've cued it up for you. THIS is precisely why I've been telling you 3B Brock Wilken is on his way to the MLB. We see the size. We see the frame. We see the plate discipline. We see power to all fields. We see he is much much more than a HR hitter. What nobody told us about before he arrived in High-A, is he is also already a tremendous defensive player. Cued to his play of the game for you at 3B. What a play this is:
  13. AND, the T-Rats (tho eliminated) managed to pull within ONE game of Peoria with one game remaining. Man, they had their shot in those first two games of this Kernels series. Just, wow. Right there. What an effort. What a second half run.
  14. Wait. Checks Box Scores. Nashville came back and won 8-7?!?
  15. QB decides to ran back toward the goal line and his momentum when tackled carries him a yard into the endzone. Refs going to ref. Who wants to call a safety anyway? Refs. They struggle everywhere and anywhere. That was quite obvious.
  16. AND Murray gets the running grab on a chopper up the middle and he gets the fielder's choice at 2B. WOW. 4-3 Biloxi. Incredible win. Heck of a job battening down the hatches in some super precarious settings there. WHewwww. Major major hats off to Freddy Zamora who made two stellar plays at SS with gorgeous throws to homeplate in moments he had to make absolutely split second decisions. You don't question that when they work out and when the throws were that good. Very very impressive plays.
  17. 1st and 3rd runners. 2-1 count. Robinson gets a hard grounder to Zamora who makes another gutsy and stellar play. I saw a DP play there but he was looking there and gets the runner on a very accurate throw right to the plate. WOW. I don't know. The DP was likely there but you can not complain about that scoop and dart and getting the lead runner at home plate. Yowza. Two down. Men on first and 2nd.
  18. Shears gets a weak grounder to 1B on an inside-tailing pitch that nearly snapped the bat handle. What a 2-2 pitch. One down. He gets a gorgeous K looking on a 3-2 nasty splitter. That pitch was pure filth. And Shears gets another K looking. T-Rats win 3-2. Robinson gets Elko on a pitch one ground out to Zavi Warren at 3B. One down. He gets a hard chopper 1B side and Martinez absolutely botches a sliding stab with Murray sitting deep in the hole for the likely scoop and throw out. Error to Martinez by my look there. Runner aboard 1B. AND, after the error, the batter rips a single up the hole and there are runners to the corner. They scored that chopper a single. No way. That play has to be made. Ugh.
  19. Clarke goes down swinging on a very nice slider on the outer stripe. He tried to check on the offering he could not hold it. RHP Cam Robinson comes on with his Southern League leading Saves tally looking for another in a 4-3 tight ball game. Let's go, Cam. Keep it rolling, young fella! In Wisconsin RHP Tanner Shears will try to close it out in the 9th frame of a 3-2 ball game for the T-Rats. Tight ones all around late!
