Adamczewski hits a high chopper to 2B. T-Rats first frame ends. -
Man, José Anderson is a really solid defensive OF'er. He just made a charging back-handed diving grab on a hard hit dipping liner. Heck of a grab for the first out in the 3rd.
-
We have @Spencer Michaelis sightings behind home plate at Beloit. He is about four rows up to the right side of the camera. I know that look!
-
Fischer and Made K - looking and swinging, respectively. Peña follows with a 101 mph liner single to RF. Josh is at the dish.
-
Man, Bitonti missed an oppo taco by about a 1/2" on that barrel. Absolutely was on that pitch. It will just be a casual high fly to LF. He barrels that? Way gone.
-
Welcome to High-A Josh. Here's a righty sitting 96-97 mph with off-speed that is clearly landing.
-
I already have a healthy amount of unrealistic admiration for Ebel's swing. Obviously there is going to be an adjustment...he lines out an 0-2 pitch to LF in his second AB. BUT, man alive, what a pure pure lefty stroke.
-
Braylon Payne runs down a deep fly to the right CF warning track. Leaping grab. Good jump. One down.
-
Payne pulls a grounder to 2B on a, you guessed it, change-up. He did manage to hit the ball in play on that pitch. Baby steps! On to the bottom of the 2nd.
-
Walther with a two out shallow flare to RF. Man aboard for Payne who continues to absolutely swing and miss at every change-up. I am unsure if he's been within a foot of those change-ups. LOL. Oh, he does foul a change-up there. Wayyyyyyy out in front again. 1-2 count.
-
Indeed. Actually, Handelfry had a pretty terrible swing and miss on a change-up in the dirt low and away two pitches before he smashed that. That was clearly a mistake pitch. BUT, you have to the hit the mistakes. He certainly smacked the heck out of that ball indeed.
-
Hernandez comes back and gets a swinging K on a beautiful 79 mph change-up that dipped below the zone. Man, I've seen that pitch and that result so many times in 2025. It never gets old. Final out comes via a first pitch shallow pop out to very shallow LF. 2-0 and we'll head to the 2nd with the Muddies leading.
-
Hernandez sees a cue shot dribbler fall for a hit as he hesitates. As Bitonti peels off to cover 1B. And as Di Turi was shaded 2B side. Miscommunication from Bitonti and Hernandez. My opinion: Bitonti has to get that ball and Hernandez has the easy cover. That was not a fast runner. It was a power bat. Sigh. It will be marked a hit. Man on 1B. One down.
-
Another run scores on a misplayed gather off an Anderson grounder up the middle. Handelfry inexplicably also rounded third base and was thrown out by 9 feet. What the heck was that?! Goodness, the youth on the base paths this season has been a sight. 2-0 and we head to the bottom of the 1st.
-
Handelfry ropes a double down the RF line. 1-0 Mudcats. 2-2 pitch. Hanging change-up. Just over the leaping 1B.
-
Ebel pokes a 2-2 single - workmanlike professional poke there - sits back on a belt high outside change-up and pokes a flare into shallow LF. Beautiful swing. Just as beautiful live as it is on tape. He is extremely well balanced in his approach - something I struggle with with Payne who has a lot of leaving the batters box in every swing.
-
Ragsdale steals 2B and he beat that throw by a good 3-4 steps. He has some wheels.
-
Ragsdale works a five pitch walk. The bat did not leave the shoulders. And, well, it didn't need to.😅
-
Payne K's on four pitches. Swing and misses on consecutive change-ups. Ugly AB.
-
We have our game one Mudcats line up card for their road tilt at Salem (Red Sox). It's kind of amazing, to me, with Peña; Made; and Adamczewski all in Wisconsin this line up card still looks packed with run-producing potential. We need to see Bitonti and Di Turi restoke their flames at the dish - both young men are extremely capable as we know. SS Brady Ebel is indeed debuting and will be batting third. Bitonti is playing 1B as per usual and batting in the clean-up spot. He'll be protected by DH Handelfry Encarnacion. RHP Melvin Hernandez will look to wow us yet again with his extremely impactful off-speed tools. The Muddies still cling to their first place position atop their division but Fredericksburg and Fayetteville are indeed nipping at their heels.
-
We don't have the line up card as of yet but let's all take a minute to Honor the upcoming last regular season Carolina Mudcats home stand at the end of August. This we will be the final Mudcats games we will ever witness in Zebulon. Special 'Historic Pricing' awaits any and all: Let's hope the young Muddies send the fans home with something to remember...
-
It's a Brewers 40-Man party for the Sounds tonight. We see Black and Berroa are back in the line-up after being sent back down. LHP Robert Gasser is back on the bump and reportedly is aiming for 4.0 IP tonight. Hoskins begins his rehab assignment while Bauers will continues his. I think the question we might all be asking, regardless, is: Can C Jeferson Quero continue his torrid work at the dish? We all lovingly recall his two massive nukes at Durham last week. Let's hope for more tonight!
-
Like Adamczewski above, OF Hedbert Perez is immediately in the Shuckers line-up upon promotion. He won't be batting clean-up but he will also be filling the DH role. Can 2B Eric Brown Jr. catch any amount of fire before the post-season? The top four in this line-up had a fantastic road series at Columbus. Here's hoping for more. 1B Blake Burke is feasting on Southern League pitching. Let's see if he can feast on some Southern Home cooking tonight! Which part of the roller coaster will we be on with RHP Alexander Cornielle tonight?
-
As others on our board fretted about "Adamczewski is blocked at every level..." or "Where will he play?!", I tried to remind you all on more than one occasion: there is not a player or a bat blocking Josh from anything. Up from Low-A and debuting with the Timber Rattlers smack dab right into the clean-up spot. With Hedbert promoted to Double-A, we see super-utility Luiyin Alastre filling in in right field. The CF Daniel Guilarte experiment continues. RHP Travis Smith will look to build on his High-A learnings to see if he can get an uptick in his K numbers. The results have been solid regardless:
-
I see Patrick have up another long ball? That is six HR allowed over his last three starts Triple-A to today. Somewhere, in 'Merica, RHP Matt Bush weeps nostalgic tears.
