C Matt Wood now has caught both runners stealing. He has 3 BB in an 0-for-1 outing. He's just a High-A player. His time in Carolina 'should' be short. He'd be an upgrade in Appleton at this rate. -
Two more K's here in his 2nd inning on gorgeous change-ups. One swinging (way out in front) one looking. He gets out of it with a weakly hit groundball to Alvarez at 2B. More really solid bullpen work from the surging bounceback lefty!
-
Hey now! The Sounds get a gift from the fielding corral when the SS and 3B gave way to a charging LF who lost the ball and it plopped to the grass. Heads up play from OF Blake Perkins who never stopped sprinting and scored on the botched fly ball. Singleton aboard. It's now 3-2 Sounds baby (Eddy Alvarez got the deep fly - a truly great sprinting reaching catch - scored a Sac Fly).
-
And OF Luis Lara rips a double to deep right center and we have the lead off man aboard in the 7th! Rally caps. ON.
-
Sounds are threatening. OF Blake Perkins just hit his second poke of his evening with a double to the wall in RF. Harrison moves to 3B. Men on 2nd and 3rd for INF Eddy Alvarez. One down. Sound still trail 2-1.
-
Meanwhile, with two down, RHP Shane Smith gets the strike them out throw them out to escape the jam! He now has 5 K and the Mudcats have been chipping away - they trail 5-2. Let's get a comeback brewin'!
-
OF Monte Harrison just ripped a 116 mph line drive single to LF. That's what we might call a rocket. Yowza.
-
Two more hard hit balls find the deep warning track - ground rule double - and the high CF wall for another double (104 off the bat). It's 1-0 Saints.
-
LHP Thomas Pannone is scoreless through 2 IP. BUT, let's call a spade a spade here: that's now four balls headed to the outfield at over 95 mph. The Saints are stinging deep balls just short of the wall. That doesn't bode well as a sustainable strategy.
-
Well, a first pitch line drive single to RF drives in two more for Delmarva off RHP Nick Merkel. Runners now on 1st and 2nd. 4-0 Shorebirds. It sure looked like Nicasia's throw to 2B may have nabbed the runner rounding to 3B.
-
"Hey Nick, you want to head to the Hill for us? We have bases juiced and our starter just walked three batters and threw 6 wild pitches in that inning. Shut her down and get us out of this, young man!"
-
Wow. 6 wild pitches. 3 walks. And a complete loss of command. He fought through that leg injury but, obviously, something was going on. He leaves with the bases juiced. Mudcats trail 2-0.
-
The first wild pitch of the inning went over the head of a righty bat. Just so we're covering all our wild pitch bases.😅
-
Six wild pitches in a single inning from Herrera. SIX. Whewwww baby. This is nuts. 😂
-
What a stab and tag by C Matt Wood to prevent the Shorebirds third run. That was a huge out. And, that is how you pick your team up. Give me some of that defense. Thank you, Mr. Wood!!!
-
And, these pithces are literally 6' outside the batters zone. It's wild. Fresh off the best start of his career his last outing.
-
That's now four wild pitches to the backstop for Herrera here in the 2nd inning alone. Wood hasn't had a chance on any of these - these are wild pitches. Whew. This could get gnarly quick if he can't settle down. Still nobody out. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. 1-0 Shorebirds. This is a Low-A special. And now the bases are juiced. So, that's 4 wild pitches, 2 BB, and a single rbi poke to CF. All of this after Parra failed to dig that bunt single. Sometimes when it starts sprinkling it leads to a downpour.
-
Boy, Parra just failed to corral a lovely barehanded scoop and toss by Jadher Areinamo after a sublime lead-off bunt down the 3B line. The first base position, as a whole, continues to be an organizational issue defensively. Nobody (well, Luke Adams has been fantastic but he isn't a regular at 1B) appears to be stepping up to make those digs. That runner is now on 3B after consecutive very wild pitches by Herrera. And, that runner has now crossed on a 3-1 line drive poke to CF. 1-0 Shorebirds. Herrera is having major control issues at present. That's now three pitches that have reached the backstop through three batters in the 2nd frame.
-
And, now Hererra is clutching his lower right hamstring. What is going on? Whewwww. Someone send the Shaman, please. Well, after a full staff mound visit and some V-Sit-and-Reach he's staying in the game. Papa needs a timeout!😅
-
Delmarva has men on 2nd and 3rd with two down. I have no idea what was going on with LF Hedbert Perez taking an extremely odd route to a very routine high fly ball down the left field line. He appeared to get there on time. Looked to be a makable and, frankly, easy catch. But, he just stopped short and let it plop. Weird weird play.
-
OK. We may have dodged a serious bullet there. Guillarte is back manning the 2B dirt. Thank goodness. No more injury scares to these young men, please.🥴
-
Oh for crying out loud! INF Daniel Guillarte just injured his right arm/shoulder sliding into 2B and has now left the game injured. He was in a lot of pain. What. The. Heck!!! He's favoring his right shoulder. Awful. Can we get a break, please?!? We'll have to see if he returns to the field but that looks doubtful. He jammed it strangely in the dirt in a face first slide. An awkward slide at that. UGH. 1:03:25 on the MiLB.TV broadcast gives the full view.

Let's get some 'W's tonight. Tough morning. Let's get hot in the evening hours!

Misc. Minor League Alumni News & Notes
Joseph Zarr replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Meanwhile, in the West, C Brett Sullivan made his MLB Padres debut on April 22nd! He's still with the Padres as, apparently back-up C Luis Campusano is on the 10-Day IL. What's more? I checked today's Box Score (5/3) and Sullivan is 2-for-2 with a 2B and a two-run HR for all 4 of the Padres current runs. Incredible. Keep it up, Mr. Sullivan! -
Also, 0-for-13 with RISP makes it, ummmm, challenging to come out roses. I see the Biscuits buttered up a 3-for-17 mark with RISP. That appears to have been the difference. I also see LHP Darrell Thompson went 1 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 4 K. It's nearing time they're going to have to advance him a level. He's been absurd early in 2023. What an Indy League find.
