He's fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. I'm a huge fan. We are truly blessed as Brewers Minor League fans. We have great announcers at every level. I was truly sad to see Garrett Greene go to Sugar Land but Javik Blake has done a really nice job in every facet. Announcers are a big deal to everyday watchers. I cringe these days when I randomly check into a Bucks game and have to suffer through some of their new on air peoples. I won't name names but, man, there is a mighty struggle to find anything remotely close to Paschke and McGlocklin. Thank the basketball gods we have Marques in the mix. That's all I'll say about that. -
Yeah, I just scanned the radar in Zebulon. If Game 1 is already delayed, I don't like what I'm seeing. Booooo!
-
We're delayed in Carolina off the bat. Ruh roh. This just in: BIG fan of Mudcats announcer, Greg Young:
-
As you know, I am an emphatic Big Jon believer. Let's be patient. Extremely small sample size. We know he has everything else we need - great glove, great hands, great mind. He'll get this. We just need to give him the opportunity.

Yes Sirs! Gasser grabs the first CG from a Sounds starter in 2023. Sure it's 7 IP. Who cares? This was the first CG since August 21st of last year when RHP Tyler Herb (my sweet Prince! Get well!) did it against these same Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. Fantastic end to the double-header.
-
Gasser just grabbed his 7th and 8th K to open the final 7th frame. Do you think he wants this CG?
-
Gasser emphatically reminds us: Absolutely toss that 5th inning in the trash. K, weak pop fly to shallow CF, jam shot weak pop out to Campbell at 1B. He's in line to possibly go all 7 here. Deservedly so. Other than two "Well, what happened there?" walks he's been fantastic. 6 K on the day. Four ridiculously cheap earned runs.
-
Shout out to my 9-Hole champions this week in Yeison Perez and, now, Noah Campbell. Just glorious.
-
Holy hyeck! 1B Noah Campbell just smashed his 2nd HR deeeeeep over the wall in RF. Wowsers. That was a 3-run jack. The Sounds have now scored in every inning. Wow. 11-4. Noah! Have. A. GAME! That ball almost left the ballpark - it hit the top rows of the cheap seats. Noah. My baseball gods you're beautiful in a Sounds uni.
-
Winker's HR also went a whopping 354 feet. His was definitely the better of the 3, however. It was at least an actual liner. 😅I almost spit out my drink when I heard the distance when I stood up.
-
The wind shifted, again tough luck, out to LF before that inning. Previously, as you might imagine, it had been blowing out to RF. Weird day in Jacksonville. But, man, if I'm a pitcher I hate pitching that park. It's ridiculous.
-
AND, he just struck out OF Jerar Encarnacion for the 3rd time today. He probably has the best pop of all the Jumbo Shrimp bats. That was just literally an extremely tough luck inning. Manager Rick Sweet understood what was going on. The bullpen was silent. Nobody up. It was ridiculous.
-
The only really hard hit ball of his outing was the linedrive single he just surrendered to LF. 106 off the bat. Very well hit. That's literally it.
-
The Jacksonville porch is what we might term 'shallow'. Lotta like 350 foot HR BLASTS. He just gave up his 2nd HR that may have been hit even weaker. It was a pop fly that probably doesn't leave the park in Cincy. Nope. 90 mph again. 340 Feet. 😅
-
A really good thing (if not frustrating as heck) is Gasser gives up some of the absolute weakest hits in the system. We're talking dribblers, bloop flies. He just doesn't give up much hard contact. He is really really starting to come on. He may give up a run here in the 5th but we have a weak weak chopper to 3B where Dorrian loses the ball on transfer charging it. Then, Eddy Alvarez gets an absurd high chopper he charges and the ball sails past 1B in a rushed throw. Men on the corner. On the first pitch to old Shucker nemesis Victor Victor Mesa the first hard hit ball of the day (albeit still only 90 mph) leaves the yard. 8-3 Sounds.
-
Yes. See my post. I'm near certain it's just a breather.
-
He was ejected after a blown call in the 8th inning. It was a wild pitch. He slid in and beat the tag. He was ticked off (rightfully so). Manager Victor Estevez came out heated (he never does that). It was a 6-3 ball game at that point and he thought he stole a run in a wild wild pitch sequence. You love the passion. I'll bet you 99.99% it's a 'Take a break and reset.' game for him. AND, it is a double-header.
-
This is just an awesome second game. OF Michael Reed just ripped a first-pitch liner into shallow LF. Men on 1st and 2nd. One down. 8-0. 9 hits. We are in the top of the 5th. Put it in my veins.
-
Did I mention this is FUN? Whew. 1B Noah Campbell rips another absolute smash over the RF wall. The lefties are just ripping today. 8-0. Heck yeah, Noah!
-
Brian Navarreto beats a double play grounder by a good three feet. Doesn't matter. The Minor League field umps just like calling outs. Wasn't even close. My goodness. That's at least three absolutely blown calls gone against the Brewers system this week - steals, CS, DP balls etc. Yikes. You tell me if you think the ball beat that foot? Ummmm
-
OF Michael Reed have a series. He just ripped his 2nd HR in three games in Jacksonville. He missed a HR earlier in the count when he got ahead of a breaking ball and a screamer hooked foul. He did not miss on a gorgeous golf swing liner over the RF wall. 6-0 Sounds. This is very fun early. 104 mph off the bat.
-
Boy, the ABS system is working today. And, well, I am protesting today's AI takeover. 😅Winker goes down looking on a sinker that appeared to be outside and in the dirt (actually, it was). The Shrimp Catcher had to make a sliding stop into the righty batter's box. I am sensing sabotage. I've seen enough. Three pitches I'd like to take to Manfred and demand answers! ANSWERS, I say. 🤭
-
1B Noah Campbell rips an rbi groundball single past the diving glove of the Jumbo Shrimp 2B. It's 5-0. Runners on the corners. Two down. Winker to the dish.
-
Boy, did Eddy Alvarez lay down a beauty of a bunt down the 3B line - unexpected, I would add. He sends Devanney to 3B and the wild throw sends Devanney Home. 4-0 Sounds. Let's Go, men! Let's get game #3 of this series and take a 2-1 lead.
-
Gasser 2nd inning: Nasty breaking ball grabs the very dangerous OF Jerar Encarnacion on an 0-2 count. K. Nasty breaking ball on a 1-2 count cuts the inner stripe. Just plum nasty. K. Falls to 2-0 on a fastball down and in. The breaking ball is earning the paycheck today grabs inside corner to 2-1 the count. Misses another nasty breaking ball what might have missed (if it did - several strikes lead me to believe the ABS may not be working?) by 2" called a ball high. Misses inner stripe on an inside breaker. 3-2 WALK. Gets ahead 0-2. Foul. Induces a shallow liner on another inside breaking ball - Reed corrals easily.
