  1. Now. THIS is the game we've been waiting for from the talented RHP TJ Shook. Have. A. Game. Young man! 5 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 10 K. 73 pitches. Will they let him paint his masterpiece into the 6th? He's teased this potential all year he just had yet to put it together in a single outing. You have to love it!
  2. It seems like it's been two weeks since all the rookie clubs won on the same day? Big wins for the DSL squads after some very tough luck of late. Personally, I'm just grateful they weren't playing the Dodgers.😁
  3. Yeah, the DSL positional assignations are quite often entirely different by the time the youngsters start playing.
  4. I have a feeling we might be looking at INF Dylan O'Rae in one of these lists at some point. Watching his game-to-game performances in the ACL game logs, he just feels like he is starting to find his professional footing. 15 BB: 6 K. 14-of-14 SB. It would be nice to start seeing the XBH's arrive (only 1 2B in June). It feels like he is just starting to scratch the surface.
  5. I am writing in this forum. On my I-Phone. Modern problems. Modern solutions. Nice work!
  6. Kudos to RHP Sam Gardner. That's two consecutive Saves. Two consecutive scoreless outings. The nerves have settled and he's finding a groove. Let's hope it lasts! Big win for the T-Rats. 5-4 final.
  7. RHP Ryan Middendorf came on in relief of Mejias in the top of the 6th inning. He walks his first batter to load the bases. Then, on a 1-2 count, he lets a slider run too far inside and it plunks the lefty's knee. Run scores. Next batter, chopper to 3rd base. Black correctly comes home for the second out and Quero drops the ball rushing the transfer. Bases still juiced. Two down. 3-2 Braves. Those errors on makable plays seem to always haunt the clubs. Next batter and Middendorf hangs one middle in and the batter lines it to CF past a diving Murray and it's now 5-2. Yeah, it's absolutely that kind of year for Middendorf. Tough sledding.
  8. Well the good thing for me, personally, is I certainly don't write my Minor League Link reports on my I-Phone. So, I've got that going for me...which is nice.
  9. I messaged you, Brock. BUT, I can't visit a single Forum page in any Forum via my I-Phone. I cleared my History. Cleared all my Data/Cache. It's every Forum page. But, I can use PM's on my phone. Which is interesting, I guess.
  10. Absolutely. He had a really good bout of Rehab work in the ACL. He just needs to stay healthy. It's been a series of snakebites since that awful RF wall incident last season. He and EBJ need to see Jobu, me thinks.
  11. And those Mudcats closed it out 7-3 and are back to 0.500 with a two game winning streak! LHP Nate Peterson returned to a very successful 2 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, and 3 K.
  12. I have had zero issues, to date, on my desktop/I Mac browsers. Fwiw.
  13. SO, yes, it persists on my IPhone. Again, using the Brave app. It also displays the same, on muh IPhone, on Safari. All in my Mobile browsers.
  14. Likely something like this. I have been getting it in and off this morning via the Brave browser.
  15. That sliders at 47 seconds and 1:21 is what I've been talking about throughout early 2023. Filthy is the word. That is an extremely difficult pitch to assess as a left-handed batter let alone make contact. It's a fabulous pitch. It has that sneaky initial and then sudden late movement.
  16. Really nice to see Baseball America catch RHP Quinton Low and seeing what several of us have seen and commented on throughout this season. Happy for him! AND, even happier it wasn't his most recent uncharacteristic walk-heavy outing. He's a true plus bullpen arm way down there in Low-A.
  17. To conclude my remarks on the play itself, to me when I watched that Live I felt the play was to 1B - there is a play there at 2B but it's precariously close. Vaz has some wheels (19 SB to 1 CS in 2023) so it's a fast play, but Vaz isn't even half way up the line by the time the ball is to his glove. If the play is executed, in my book, this is one of those plays good SS's (and I consider EBJ a very good SS) make to end games all the time at the MLB level. It's simply a play he needs to work on. And, I agree with you it certainly isn't a 'simple' play and I am not trying to come across that way. I just hope EBJ stays healthy to receive several more opportunities to make these out in the future. Just unreal bad luck run over the past couple of months.
  18. Sure. While I agree with you it wasn't a run of the mill play, It's still a play he has to make. He has a throw to 1B there where he has the runner by several steps or he still beats the tag on the bag at 2B. Running or not on contact. He took his eye off the ball. He rushed it. As you know, I love EBJ. He's an incredible talent. He botched a similarly weakly hit ball under his glove just a week ago. He's played better defense than advertised - I'm on record stating gold glove caliber in moments. Today, however, those are plays I expect my first round blue chip SS to make. In an extremely small sample size of errors this past week I would say: he needs to work on scooping balls running to his left in game action. AND, that's why we have the minors. At this moment, who cares about the play. He needs to stay healthy and keep competing. That's all I care about in the moment whether we agree or disagree on what transpired. Another injury in this moment would just be ridiculous misfortune.
  19. Honestly, if you watch how he pops up from that fall it looks like the majority of any damage might have been to his left arm. Specifically, the area from his wrist to his elbow. He clutches it immediately. In this freeze frame you can see he is clutching that left elbow. Man, why are we always discussing injuries to our core young prospects. I'm about sick and tired of this in 2023. 🥲
  20. Here's the still from the moment of contact.
  21. I watched it, Jim. Firstly, it's a play unfortunately EBJ has to make before the slide. Very very makable play in a crucial moment. He botched it entirely off the heel of his mitt. SO, the bounce OFF his glove brought him directly into the runner as he tried to corral the ricochet. He got completely upended on the play, however. That's obviously what we'll be looking at moving forward. He just can't stay out of harm's way at present. 03:52:52 of the replay is where you'll want to start. It's definitely a left foot, ankle, leg issue there. He took the full weight of that slide directly into that left leg. Could have been a number of things that happened there. Ugh. Just ugh. Scratch that. I just watched the replay. He actually leaps over the slide with his left leg. He takes the brunt of the slide into his right foot. The top of the player - ie helmet hits his left leg. Man, what a doozy.
  22. 3 more SB against C Satchell Norman to zero CS. The bat continues to show it plays - 2-for-3, 2 RBI. But, in his second ACL season we are now looking at a 31 SB-to-4 CS stat line. That's an 11% CS rate. What we might call: Not all that good.
  23. Let's get back to a Feel Good Rembrance. INF Tyler Black. June.
  24. Oh hey, the DSL Brewers Uno y Dos were swept by the DSL Dodgers. Because, well, why not? The question I have is: Will an ACL/DSL Brewers team actually beat a Dodgers club this summer? At this juncture, they are in serious jeopardy of being season swept which is...well, it's not a thing I like. 🥲
