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.
-
Yes he does. First time seeing him? His heater has massive ride. His change-up is filthy. He's a legit legit hurling prospect.
-
Wild second out. Runners on the corners now. Sibrian stabbed a hard hit grounder/liner and attempted to get ahead of a DP by firing to 2B but hit the runner in the basepaths. That runner mistakenly rounded 2B too far and Barrios had already scooped the ball and was running to cover and tagged him out. Heady play. Two down. 1-2 count. Men on the corners. Pitch count at 20.
-
He gets the first out via a punchout on his patented change-up. Just a nasty pitch. One down. Men on 1st and 2nd. Pitch count to 17 as batter #4 begins the count.
-
He's fallen behind 3-1 in his second batter (two high heaters and a ball in the dirt). He gets his second swing and miss - a 94 mph heater. With the 3-2 count, he throws another mid-90's heater and it is fouled back down the 3B line. The runner goes and it is called a ball just off the inside stripe. It would have been a strikeout and throw them out as the Sibrian throw had him. Instead, we have nobody out and men on 1st and 2nd. He's going to have to dig deep early.
-
Henderson gives up a lead-off 1-2 count line drive single to shallow CF. The lead-off batter sat back on an outside off-speed pitch and hit a liner through the gap. One on. Nobody out.
-
Screen Numero Dos has been fired up and we are warming up in Zebulon and Nashville. It's a beautiful thing...September baseball. Don't forget, folks, the Mudcats Division Series Game 1 is indeed the Minor League 'Game of the Day'. Tune in Live for FREE right HERE
-
55 inning starts?!? I'm just playing with ya'...Porter is a stud. Should be an exciting game 1.
-
You almost got it smack dab @wiguy94: Wilken gets an immediate start (and, let's be honest, this is an immediate defensive upgrade at 3B) at the hot corner. Collins bumps to LF while Murray brings his stalwart glove to 2B. Zamora is rewarded for his fantastic defense at Birmingham while Clarke moves to the DH slot with his League-leading 24 HR on the season. Rodriguez stays in RF where his League-leading BA and speed will look to be utilized in the sixth spot of the batting order. Looking at this line up my sole concern is the ongoing output of LHP Adam Seminaris. All season long, pre and post rehab, he has been prone to a big inning. The Shuckers can't have that in this series. Hopefully, he can buckle down.
