  1. Great ? I am at the odd place where I don't actually have a ton of confidence in the Sounds bullpen at present. Even their best arms have scuffled some in the past month. IF I were the Brewers, I'd be looking at some type of Lauer/Gasser thing as a multi-tool multi-inning or short-inning arm. Naturally, you could always swap out LHP Clayton Andrews in Mejía's current role but he hasn't been as sharp as he was earlier in the season - he has been better recently but I am unsure how his recent call-ups sit with the brass. RHP Thyago Vieira has taken the closer role back and, tho effective, still puts too many men on base for my liking. Lower on that 'throw them in the fire and see where they land' would obviously be Megill or Small (who has thrown very well recently). But, again, the options are not as primo as they were earlier this season...which is unfortunate.
  2. I can't tell you the number of outings I saw Mejía suffer those ridiculous dribbler hits in Nashville. AND, the problem with those is he would do what he just did...give up several runs. It is often harder than it needs to be in his appearances.
  3. Contreras is really really good horizontally. I continue to be pleasantly surprised, almost on a game-by-game basis, how he plucks those balls in the dirt. Mejía loses the chance for the Crew to take the League lead with 13 shutouts. Boooooo.😭
  4. Boy, you just don't know where that Chafin slider is going to land. How many did he throw in the dirt that inning? 3-4?
  5. Uribe only used 10 pitches for his 7th. Does CC bring him back out for a batter or two in the 8th? OR has he pitched too much in recent games? EDIT: Nevermind. Chafin' with Chafin I see. Let's hope he tosses strikes. Goodness, Andrus made that scoop look ridiculously too easy. That was a rocket. Heck of a play.
  6. Wow. How did Santana muscle that one over the wall. Heck of a poke.
  7. Oh baby. Two more precious innings and a chance to move to 3.5 G ahead of the Cubbies and Red Legs? Let's do this!
  8. Welp, the Mudcats lost 8-4. AND, they now have series wins of 5-1; 5-1; and 4-2 over their past three series. We'll take it. They remain 5.5 G ahead of the Fredericksburg Nats atop the Carolina South division (Down East won the first half so, once again, they are meaningless in this 2nd Half push).
  9. Very happy to see 1B Alex Hall moved up in the line-up. He has a very good rapport (my own observation - on-field banter) with 3B Brock Wilken. It feels pairing their bats together makes sense - given Hall is also swinging a much better bat than advertised. Hall responds with an RBI 2B. A Joe Gray Jr. ground out to 1B RBI tallies another. And a base knock from Hendry Mendez. It's 3-0 T-Rats in the first. Mendez is on 1st and Darrien Miller is in a 3-1 count.
  10. - OF Skye Bolt was activated from the 7-Day IL by the Nashville Sounds
  11. I can confirm, RHP Logan Henderson has definitely developed/evolved his slider in 2023. As manager Victor Estevez notes in the post-game: he's throwing it roughly 10% of the time. Just enough to keep hitters honest. Playing off his deadly change-up and that ridiculously sexy heater it's a huge development. The results speak for themselves. I would be entirely unsurprised if Henderson is promoted to Wisconsin in the next several days.
  12. INF Cam Devanney just hit his 2nd 2-bagger of his night to pull the Sounds within 3-2 with two down in the ninth. Men on 2nd and 3rd.
  13. 3B Brock Wilken currently 2-for-2 with a 3-Bagger in der. Make that 2-for-3. He just struck out looking.
  14. Do you think Adams knew? Or was mildly pumped? For those of us who've watched all year long, we know: Adams is so fun to watch. He loves the game.
  15. Absolutely smoked a center cut heater. Well past the LF wall just left of the scoreboard. They were considering walking him too. I believe they made the wrong decision. The crowd was chanting 'Luuuuuuuuuke' before and after the AB. It was a 1-0 count, actually, because they gave the pitcher a clock violation. 106 mph off the bat. 426 feet of distance. Sweet mammy jammy.
  16. RHP Yerlin Rodriguez didn't have his best stuff in the zone today giving up the tying run in the top of the 9th but LF Kaylan Nicasia (very underrated defender - he actually made a diving stab of a catch in shallow LF for the first out of the ninth frame) took the rbi-single and hit a perfect relay to Jadher Areinamo who fired a strike to C Jose Sibrian for the tag and the out at home plate to preserve the tie. Oh, this Jose Sibrian:
  17. LHP Adam Seminaris ongoing rehab work: 1 1/3 IP, 3 H, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 ER DSL Brewers #2's INF Pedro Ibarguen: 3-for-5, 4 R, 3 RBI, 1 HR Now hitting 0.304 on the year with an 0.846 OPS in 112 AB's - 23 BB: 28 K. He continues to flash and offer intrigue.
  18. Yeah, he had a chance to win it in the 9th with Boeve standing on 2B. He worked the count full and then struck out looking at a heater near dead center at the belt. Simply and fairly put: Wood has been pedestrian in his first High- A extended look. His days of electric Low-A play are far far behind him - honestly, it's been a real bummer. I keep waiting for him to have that classic turnaround game. It just hasn't come. Meanwhile, C Jose Sibrian continues to put on catching clinics in Carolina...
  19. Big Jon Singleton went yard twice tonight for Houston in his first start since being called up this past Thursday. 5 RBI. His first MLB homers since 2015. So happy for him.
  20. Wood works the count full laying off an off-speed below the zone and a high heater and then stares at a fastball right over the belt. Hard to imagine how he'd let that pitch go without at least a swing. We certainly haven't seen anything remotely resembling the Carolina Mudcat version of Wood at the dish. Boeve is stranded at 2B and we are headed to Xtras. Alex Hall hit the 3-run jack upon the restart in the bottom of the 8th: Essentially the same pitch Wood took looking for strike 3. Little bit different scenario and result. Continue to love Alex Hall's short compact but powerful swing.
  21. Wilken hits an absolute end of the bat squibber up the 1B line it impractically spins back in play and Ward scores from 3B. 6-6. Wood up to the dish with Boeve now at 2B. Wow.
  22. Boeve force out RBI up the middle. Runners on the corners. One down. T-Rats just pulled within 6-5. Wilken at the dish.
  23. Second outing in a row RHP Nick Merkel has been roughed up some. Here's hoping he can recover and get some clean outings under his belt. 2 IP, 4 H, 1 BB, 1 K, 4 ER. T-Rats trail in the bottom of the 8th - men on 1st and 2nd w one down - but the game has been rain delayed.
  24. 1B Ernest Martinez Jr. (slotted 7th in the batting order) hit 2-for-4 with 2 2B. The man continues to be scorching hot.
