  1. I have seen some of the cheapest hits up the middle by Columbia today. My goodness. Another absolute warm burner just eats up INF Gregory Barrios who was clearly trying to scoop and tag for a double play. It was a bad mistake, however, as he didn't have the play on the tag. He needed to charge that and grab the first out at 1B. Now we have runners on the corner. Nobody down. Mudcats clinging to a 3-1 lead. That was a bad error by the young infielder.
  2. And, who other than red hot INF Isaac Collins to drive him across home plate? 2-for-2 today as he shoots a line drive deep off the infield dirt into the LF grass. Collins is on something right now. It must have been my repeated kind words.😂
  3. Two very patient walks so far for phenom CF Jackson Chourio. And the OPS keeps going North. You have to absolutely love it. He then goes 1B to 3B on a PO attempt throwing error. He's 90 feet from cutting the 2-0 deficit in half.
  4. Minor League umps gonna Minor League ump. What certainly appeared like a ball that ricocheted off Hiura's left hand in a 3-2 count is called a fair ball dribbler about 4-6' in front of home plate. Hiura was on the ground writhing in pain while the Tides were throwing the ball to 1B. Hiura was then quickly tossed for questioning the call. It certainly looked like an ump that both missed the call and sent a Key Sounds player to the showers really quickly. And, if Hiura was acting, it was a fair job. And, he was still tossed way too early.
  5. A Jackson Chourio and Isaac Collins double steal sees the Shuckers just one SB away from the team overall SB record. They now have three players with 20 or more SB's - Collins, Chourio, and Black.
  6. Coming off a 11-for-27 week at Montgomery, Tyler Black led off with a deep line drive up the LF wall and about five feet short of a homer. That ball certainly looked like it had a chance. Instead, it will simply be known as an 0-for-1 start to his evening. Meanwhile, C Jose Sibrian just took an inside pitch off his catching hand. He is in pain. Being checked on by the trainer. It does look like he's going to stay in the game as a runner for now. We'll have to see if he stays in to catch the ball. Bases are juiced. One down after a Luke Adams sky high infield pop up. OF Luis Castillo hits a deep sac fly to RF, however, and scores Guilarte. It's 3-1 Mudcats now.
  7. I can't tell you the number of 1-2 and 0-2 hangers RHP Jason Alexander has left over the heart of the plate tonight. Let me just say: lots. Lots of off-speed mistakes. Sounds trail 5-0 now after the deep deep fly over the wall in left center. The rough outing continues. The Sounds come into this series having lost 6-of-9. It's going to take quite a bit to turn this one around.
  8. Who knocks in the go-ahead run? None other than red hot DH Jesus Chirinos. That man is swinging a very hot piece of lumber for the Mudcats right now. 2-1 Mudcats. Two down. Bottom of the 2nd.
  9. C Jose Sibrian continues to showcase his formidability. He threw out a runner at 2B to end the first in a runners on the corners with two down scenario - it was a beautiful bang-bang play. Here in the 2nd, he rips a double to the gap in right CF driving in the tying run in 3B Luke Adams. 1-1 game now. Sibrian is at 3B. One down.
  10. Alexander did not benefit from the delay whatsoever. He is back to hanging floaters. A walk and two consecutive well hit line drives. And the bases are juiced with one down in the 2nd. He gives up a sac fly to deep CF. 4-0 Tides. Ugly outing from Alexander. Meanwhile, in Columbia, Herrera is getting absolutely hosed by some truly weak dribblers up the middle. The last scores a runner from second after it weakly arrives to the 2B bag and hits the base and pops into the air and beyond all gloves into shallow CF.
  11. Mudcats go 3-up and 3-down, unconventionally. Tayden Hall 1B to RF. Guilarte force out. Guilarte PO 1B. Lara flies out to LF.
  12. It's definitely 2023: The Sounds/Tides knock has been delayed and paused at length here until the drone that is flying above the stadium resolves itself. 😂
  13. He gets the final out on a sinker tailing low and out of the zone. Hey, that's the pitch you need! The inning ends, mercifully, for Alexander after 27 pitches and 3 runs. None of those hits were cheap.
  14. RHP Jason Alexander AKA 'The Hanger'. He is just laying up platter balls in favorable counts. Another absolute hanging off-speed pitch center cut is ripped into RF for an RBI single. 3-0 Tides. He's already up to a pitch count of 24. If he can't get this final out here he may be pulled before the inning ends. Woof.
  15. Yeah, Alexander is getting rocked here early all over the outfield grass. He gives up a deep line drive to the wall in LF. That scores another. It's stretched into a 3-bagger as the throw home from Dorrian was just wide up the 3B side and Henry couldn't corral it for the tag. 2-0 Tides.
  16. CF Monte Harrison showing off his formidable arm in throwing out the Tides' runner trying to stretch a single into two. He gets the OF assist to SS Patrick Dorrian. Alexander is getting hit well here early as his pitches are finding a lot of center cut - three hits in the first already. That OF assist proved very big as there are now two down and the next hitter ripped a line drive single to Naquin in RF. 1-0 Tides. Two down. Man on first.
  17. RHP Jason Alexander will try to work around a lead-off double here in the first frame. Sounds went scoreless in the top half.
  18. Farm chores mostly done for the day. Papa J is getting ready to fire up the multi-screen Minor League baseball buffet. Let's have a good evening, men. Above and beyond all else, come out healthy. Then, let's hope for some fantastic games with improvements and intrigue seen throughout.
  19. He's doing it with power and discipline. All the signs are there of a big time prospect. It would be silly to not be excited about what the Brewers may have found here. Silly. This is why we follow these men: breakouts and awe-inspiring performances. Rodriguez has done that and been that for quite awhile now. Further demonstrating the Brewers are a team on the rise in recruiting and signing the International Free Agency Market.
  20. So, that settles that. It was the swing. Thankfully, it's just a bruised hand. Big sigh of relief!
  21. There it is. I refer anyone to our recent Friday GT re: Quero and a possible injury we witnessed after the rain delay. @wiguy94opined at the time (a few posts above) he didn't think anything happened. It may have looked benign-ish. I opined, it seemed clear (to my eyes) something may have happened after the massive swing and miss and unorthodox manner by which he re-entered the batters box or the manner by which he pulled up running the first base line. It's funny how two avid watchers see two entirely different things but that's why we watch the games. What was absolutely clear to me, at the time, was pulling Quero after his AB was anything but planned. You don't pull your star catcher in a 6-1 game. That is far from 'in the bag'. We'll just have to stay tuned to the live Shuckers games and pre-game interviews this week to see if we get anything from announcer Javik Blake or manager Mike Guerrero. Hopefully, this is just a nagging something!
  22. - INF Alexander Perez was assigned to the ACL Brewers from the Carolina Mudcats
  23. RHP Justin Jarvis continues to struggle in his adjustment to the International League. 2 1/3 IP, 5 H, 5 BB (yikes), 2 K, 6 ER That's going to do some damage to the ERA and WHIP...
  24. Boy the Mudcats sure got charitable after they reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the 5th. Must have been the 5-0 series lead and the 13-1 victory Saturday. The bullpen gives up 13 runs from the 6th onward 🥴 Mudcats lose 17-7.
