  1. Facing a lefty-on-lefty match-up, Morales walked him on 5 pitches. Bases juiced. Fear not, I say fine T-Rats brethren! He strikes out the very dangerous DH Matt Nelson on 3 straight pitches. Gutsy performance, Mr. Morales! He inherits two more runners who do not score. A beautiful strike three tailing two-seamer (?) 92 mph heater that left the zone entirely. Great choice there - don't give him anything.
  2. Second inning in a row Wagoner finds himself with runners on the corners with one down. A couple of seeing eye liners that made their way through infield gaps. The bullpen is getting busy (LHP Karlos Morales) as he has 76 pitches. He drops a 77 mph looping curve/change-up (Mehring felt change-up) for strike 3. He then gives up a screaming double off the LED scoreboard for an absolutely hammered double on a 90 mph heater dead center. Wagoner leaves after 3 2/3 IP. Only one run scores on that scorching hit as Doston got that ball in fast. Fun Fact: Morales has inherited 20 runners in his season and only allowed 1 to score. Here's two more inherited. This will be his team-leading 28th appearance.
  3. Can confirm. It is. Really really pretty. His game, as a general rule of thumb, is a real pleasure to watch. I'm getting excited.😅
  4. I just saw a 97 mph flash on a Wagoner pitch 1 here in the top of the 7th. And, well, I don't know if it's real 😅...he's hit 94-95mph tonight on more than one occasion. He generally sits 91-93. BUT, man...I'm just saying:
  5. You have to love these Boeve/Wilken AB's. Patient. Patient. Patient. 3-1 count laying off a very intriguing slider just off the outer stripe. He then takes ball 4. Wilken now has 9 BB to 3 K in his very brief High-A tenure. 6-2.
  6. 2B Mike Boeve is going to have a chance to do some real damage with the bases juiced, two down in the bottom of the 5th. He comes to the batters box and patiently lays off three straight off-speed pitches that sunk below the zone. Great eye there! AND, he takes ball 4 outside and gets the bases loaded BB RBI. Now, they get the treat of facing Mr. Brock Wilken. Come on, baby. He's 2-for-3 with a HR and a 1B to LF. 5-2 T-Rats.
  7. It's very early in tonight's home tilt vs Dayton but I'm just going to get out ahead and say: the additions of Boeve and Wilken are really going to help these T-Rats win some games. This team just became quite a bit more competitive. Wilken definitely has that 'It' quality to his game. He plays extremely controlled. He's a man beast in stature. His AB's are consistent and his swing is pure. He is making challenging plays look routine. The T-Rats have really improved their watch caliber.
  8. Smokies beat the Shuckers 4-2. If I were a Cubs fan I would love watching this Smokies team. They are really good Double-A squad. They rarely make mistakes - they play clean, sharp baseball. When they need the arms, they have them. They are every bit as good as their record would indicate.
  9. Gray Jr. sees Moore's bloop single and says: I can do better. He hits an even shallower bloop single to short Right CF. And it's 4-2. Wilken gets to 3B. Boeve scores. We deserve those cheap hits! Noisy little duck snorts.
  10. Biloxi will have a chance in the bottom of the 9th. Still down 4-2. RHP Cam Robinson went three-up and three-down: single, dp, ground out to 2B. T-Rats grabbed the lead here in the 4th on a looping bloop double to shallow RF by Bob Moore scoring Doston. Boeve then grounded into a force out at Home plate when Moore was thrown out by a good 6' when Boeve grounded out directly to the 2B sitting in the infield grass. Brocken rips a liner to LF (his second straight multi-hit game in a row on the homestand) in a 1-2 count and he and Boeve are on the bags now.
  11. Zamora took two bending curveballs for strikes to start his AB. 0-2. And, he strikes out swinging on a 93 mph heater. Not the AB we were looking for. Sigh.
  12. 1B Ernesto Martinez Jr. continues to give patient AB's in Biloxi. He takes the 3-2 pitch high and just inside on a gutsy curveball that missed. Bases are now juiced for SS Freddy Zamora to try and hit into this 4-2 deficit. Big moment here.
  13. A 20 mph fierce gusting wind just batted down and killed a 99 mph oppo deep fly off the bat of DH Wes Clarke. Man that was loud. And that wind had no part in aiding that smack. Chourio advances to third. Runners on the corners. Two down. Still trailing 4-2.
  14. RHP Cam Wagoner is repeatedly touching 94-95 mph on the radar gun. If he can do this and locate his off-speed like he has been in recent outings...it's a different pitcher. He gives up a 1-2 double to the LF/CF gap. It was a heater dead center belt high.
  15. RHP Cameron Wagoner will take the hill for the T-Rats as they presume play here in the 4th frame.
  16. 1B Ernesto Martinez Jr. just graced the Biloxi faithful and announcer Javik Blake with one of his patented error-saving laid out full splits up the 1B line. It saved an errant throw by SS Freddy Zamora and it helped LHP Luis Amaya escape unscathed with runners on 1B and 2B here in the 8th. The crowd loved it. We've seen that move so many times in Wisconsin. Great moment.
  17. T-Rats look like they are primed to continue here in about 15 minutes. Noice!
  18. Two out 2-RBI single by Zavi Warren here in the 7th. We can thank 1B Ernesto Martinez Jr. (shallow liner to CF for a single) ffor his aggressive base running that paid off when Cargo ripped a liner through the SS/2B gap into LF. This advanced both runners which led to their plating. OF Lamar Sparks will try to continue this mini rally. Sparks strikes out on a 93 mph heater on the outer stripe. On to the 8th.
  19. Tired: Given Misiorowski's ongoing control woes in his new level of competition, I think it's fair to say any pie-in-the-sky notions Matt Arnold put forth of a possible post-season push with Misiorowski in the Brewers bullpen were very fun but very premature. Wired: Given this, he might be a perfect fit for that 10th inning role I can't remember the last time I saw RHP Yerlin Rodriguez pitch. It felt fitting he came to the hill and threw his first pitch in the dirt and to the backstop. This night is filled with 'What is going on?". No matter, Rodriguez got the ground out to Adams at 3B who adeptly tagged the runner trying to advance to 3rd on contact and he fired the one-hop throw to Chirinos who pulled it in with a fantastic stretch. DP to end it. Mudcats win 6-4. They've won five straight games. I AM HERE for the Mudcats playoff push. And, I am excited.
  20. No kidding, hey? And their ongoing erratic pitching staff concerns continue to rear their head. LHP Nick Bennett had nobody on and two down. They hit an absolute infield dribbler 9' in front of home plate to get their first runner aboard. He then gave up a line drive single, walked a batter, and gave up a two-run liner to LF. It's the ongoing story of the Shuckers season. When their offense wasn't insanely hot, they've simply consistently struggled to pitch effectively. This being said, a 4-0 deficit with their recent offense is not too much to overcome. It's just as you say, the first place Smokies currently have their bats' numbers.
  21. We're in a weather delay in Wisconsin. Chavez escaped his two on, two out mini jam with a fly out to LF, a K, and a line out to Adams who was charging to 3B during a hit and run double steal attempt.
  22. Cruz got the weak pop fly to shallow CF to escape further damage. Phew. Chavez walked his second batter after a 3-0 count went full. Men on first and second. Nobody out. As he continues to do his best impersonation of RHP Quinton Low, I guess. 😐
  23. And, meanwhile in Caroline, RHP Jose Chavez just walked his first batter on four pitches. I swear to you I am not making any of this up.
  24. And, Cruz just beaned his next batter after getting the second out K. It's a 2-2 game. Literally JUST as I watched Misiorowski hit another batter on an inside heater. This evening is uncannily wild. And, I do not like it one ounce.
