  1. HUGE props to RHP Tobias Myers who gave his Shuckers teammates two very quality starts in this key road series at Tennessee. He went 7 complete innings today. His second start of the series. 7 H, 1 BB, 7 K, 3 ER. His team leads 5-3 as the ball is handed to RHP James Meeker who will look to give his best stuff as they Shuckers continue to try and keep pace with red hot Montgomery. What a closing series in Biloxi this is turning out to be. Head-to-head with your top foe is the way a season should close out. As to Myers, how about K'ng the side to end his day? Sheesh. Little bit of showmanship toward that Smokies dugout? Can you blame him? This just in, as well, Myers became the first SP in the Southern League to reach 150 K. Noice!
  2. Lara just added a key insurance run in the 8th (5-2 T-Rats) with a base hit infield grounder to the 1B side. Big time. AND, the Sky Carp have seen enough Brock Wilken.They just intentionally walked him with two down to put Lara at 2B. They did this to face suddenly hot Hendry Mendez who came into the AB 2-for-4. He singles on a liner to CF. It's 6-2. Beautiful to see Mendez punish them for that decision!
  3. Love it. AND, I would add the more surprising thing for me is how good he is defensively. His side-to-side diving range is likely limited but man he has an absolute cannon. And, it's accurate. He can make those charging scoop throws look easy. Anything within his range on the bounce is typically scarfed up with another accurate throw. He can ensure the corral because his arm is so good. Very good receiving the ball in the basepaths too. It may seem silly, but, it's big time when you know the tag is getting laid. I think we have to be extremely pleased with what we're seeing. He has MLB player written all over his game. Exit Velo's consistently sitting 104-106 mph on his liners.
  4. Wow, Jimenez escaped that third inning bases loaded jam! After a mound visit he got the DP ball in a classic 6-4-3. Huge huge play. A Joe Gray Jr. single sent Brock Wilken across home plate in the top of the 4th. We are now tied 1-1 as we head to the top of the 5th frame. Other than that troubled 3rd, Jimenez has been dealing: 4 IP, 4 H, 1 BB, 5 K, 1 ER.
  5. Sounds lost the tie and are trailing 4-2 late. RHP Edwin Jimenez finds himself in trouble early at Beloit. 1-0 Sky Carp and they have the bases juiced with only one down here early.
  6. How about a first inning Ernesto Martinez grand salami to get things going in the 6th and closing game at Tennessee?!?
  7. The Mudcats lost their 1-0 lead when they conceded a 2-spot in the top of the 5th. Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the 6th, they put up a 5-spot of their own! They lead 6-2 in the top of the 7th. The big hits were a Sibrian two-bagger, a Baez sac fly, and a two out Nicasia three-bagger.
  8. I guess, given Donaldson's historically woeful BABIP, one strategy is don't swing.
  9. One of the more fascinating storylines in a Brewers Minor League renaissance: Who is going to Arizona? The only player, at this juncture, I feel very confident in is INF Eric Brown Jr. - given his injuries in 2023 and his late-season return etc it's a logical choice. He needs more continued and consistent PT as he has flashed tremendous signs in 2023 when healthy. Beyond that? Sheeesh, there are a lot interesting candidates. And, I am essentially at a place of waiting and seeing while I scratch my beard. 😂
  10. I have to say I certainly did not expect these Shuckers to go into Kodak, TN and pull ahead to a 5-0 series lead heading into Sunday. Clutch is the word I would use. Absolutely CLUTCH.
  11. Middendorf gave up a two-out solo shot and then worked around a walk and single by getting the punch out. 6-3 Shuckers into the top of the 9th. Shuckers likely need to win this to stay tied with Montgomery. The Biscuits lead the woeful Barrons 4-2 in the 7th. Let's go out ahead and state the blatantly obvious: The season-ending six-game homestand vs the co-leading Biscuits is large. Hopefully it is the Shuckers drenching the Biscuits in some homestand victory gravy!
  12. The name is Megill. The deal is done.
  13. Also, of note, we haven't seen Mike Boeve play since his rough 3-4 game stretch (mentioned it in my report earlier this week but he was making lots of weak contact and topping balls and had a fairly bad error behind 2B). If I'm not mistaken he's been on the bench now for three straight? Hopefully he's working on his craft and isn't sidelined with an unreported injury.
  14. Wisconsin added another run in the 8th frame off a Matt Wood single to CF. They lead 5-1. And, in Quad Cities the Chiefs just grabbed two runs back from the River Bandits. 7-6 QC as they are near completion of the 6th frame. IF the River Bandits can finally steal one the T-Rats would pull within 3.0 G. Tall ask but doable.
  15. HUGE win by the Mudcats! They push their second half Division lead to 3.0 G over Lynchburg and 3.5 G over Fredericksburg. They take a 3-2 series lead. This 'could' be the series tune-up and test before they potentially face these same Wood Ducks in the post-season. 7 regular season games remain!
  16. Thanks for all these updates, gents. Love reading through and getting up to speed.
  17. - RHP J.B. Bukauskas was optioned to the Nashville Sounds by the Milwaukee Brewers - 3B Josh Donaldson was activated by the Nashville Sounds - RHP Colin Rea was recalled by the Milwaukee Brewers from the Nashville Sounds - LHP Aaron Ashby was sent to High-A Wisconsin to begin a rehab stint
  18. Wisconsin would seem to have a legitimate shot if they were chasing anyone but Peoria. Those pesky Chiefs have been on one this entire second half and it certainly doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon. What really drives this home, for me at least, is the T-Rats close with a six-game series at Home vs the juggernaut that is Cedar Rapids. Peoria closes at home vs these same Beloit Sky Carp the T-Rats are currently handing it to on a nightly basis. It would seem like the T-Rats would have needed to pick up a couple games these past nights to really make the last week interesting. Nashville, well, there's just too many teams in their way. Last night's loss was a big big one. They needed that game. Anything, in theory, could happen here, but as you allude to: doesn't seem likely.
  19. - LHP Clayton Andrews was recalled by the Milwaukee Brewers from the Nashville Sounds - INF/OF Owen Miller was recalled by the Milwaukee Brewers from the Nashville Sounds
  20. Take a look at Tony's video from above - a bit too large for embedding it (I downloaded it). Looked like a beautiful night at the Smokies stadium. Gorgeous sunset happening throughout that skyline...Chourio quiets an already quiet and sparsely attended stadium 😁 . Thanks for sharing!
  21. Well, Shucks (guffaw), congrats again RHP Max Lazar. You tied history the inning before on another filthy pitch:
  22. Hey now! Another Shuckers record broken in 2023. Congrats to RHP Max Lazar for playing this part in the Shuckers lore:
  23. I believe the Shuckers bullpen has done some sort of magic trick to grab the Mudcats previous mojo and take it for their own in their playoff push. The Shuckers Pen has been really good in this crucial road series at Tennessee. I just pray to the baseball gods this keeps up.
  24. Ugh. Costello has really fallen apart in the last few weeks. That's a tough pill to swallow. He was very good until this recent tailspin.
