Don't get me started. LOL.😅 -
The real highlight of the night for me was Keston Hiura's home run-robbing grab at the left field wall giving the Sounds a chance maintaining the 3-2 deficit headed to the 9th. Hell of a play by Keston. I was shocked.
-
I wouldn't quite go that far - not that I'm saying Wiemer is lighting anything on fire as he certainly is not. Frelick still looks off to me. Two doubles is nice. But, it's just a start. He's still topping way too many balls (including the game ending grounder) and, in general, forcing things way too much. We need to build off tonight and see where we go from here, imho. Encouraging though. The gapper double was probably his hardest hit ball all year.
-
I just watched the Sounds go 1-for-17 with RISP. I need some healing. Go Brewers!
-
A Monasterio ground out to 3B. A Blake Perkins K looking on an outside breaking ball. The Sounds are now 1-16 with RISP. Woooof. Frelick is up to try and knock Alvarez home. Nope. A weak chopper to 2B. 1-for-17 with RISP. Yikes. YIKES. Sounds lose 3-2.
-
Mr. Everywhere Eddie Alvarez just ripped (and I mean ripped) a lead-off triple high off the right field wall on a 1-2 count to lead off the Sounds 9th. Let's go, men! Let's steal one tonight!
-
NOT TONIGHT, says LF Keston Hiura who tracks a deep tailing fly ball to the the high wall in LF and calmly catches the ball while jogging into the wall before it leaves the yard. A fantastic grab in a really important situation. He just handled that fly ball with confidence and ease, honestly. I'm not used to it, Keston but that was wonderful.
-
Trying to keep pace with his 2.25 WHIP, Robinson takes his nobody on and two down (groundout and swinging K) and concedes a laser shot single to RF off the bat of Encarnacion and then walks the next batter. Two on and two down. He'll look to prevent any further damage and try to give his teammates at a shot in the 9th.
-
And the rally ends at two runs for the Sounds. VanMeter worked a count 3-0. Then popped up to shallow SS on a 3-2 count. C Alex Jackson then sends a sky high fly ball to shallow CF. It's on to the bottom half of the 8th frame where I believe we'll see RHP Cam Robinson.
-
Abraham Toro just missed a rope shot homer by about 3' off the right field wall. What a laser. He took an 0-2 count to 2-2 and just ripped that ball. Whewwww he's heating up. 3-2 Jumbo Shrimp now with Toro at 2B and Singleton at 3B. One down. VanMeter at the dish.
-
Second 2B for Sal Frelick tonight. Alright, Sal, let's get it going young man! This one drives in Blake Perkins from second base. 3-1 Jumbo Shrimp here in the 8th. First double was a chopper down the LF foul line. This one was a well hit deep fly to left center. A great bounceback night for Frelick!
-
Throwing error and now a botched grounder in the 6th. It wasn't an easy play by any measure but it's a play a good 3B can make. If it wasn't for the fantastic stab and throw from Ethan Murray during the ensuing AB, that bobble and drop would have led to more runs.
-
And, hey let's spread the umpiring around. In Rocket City, the ump absolutely blows a bang-bang tag out on a gorgeous throw from Rodriguez to Black (RF-to-3B) and leaves Shook on the Hill to try and end this ongoing threat with two down. These are just flat out misses. Unfortunately, we're on the bad side of the calls. Shook gives up a bases clearing double on the next pitch. 9-2 Rocket City. I've said it before and I'll say it again: these bad calls actually matter.
-
Russ Smith just robbed of a 2-2 strikeout on a pitch that clearly caught too much dead center cut. What a whiff by the ump. Darrien Miller had a tilt back convo with the man in black. Yuck. He then missed low on the full count walking the batter - a shame. And there's a mound visit now given that was an egregious mis-call and there are now men on 1st and 2nd base.
-
Welp, RHP TJ Shook comes on in relief and with a 1-0 count gets absolutely tagged over the LF wall. A 3-run jack. Shuckers now trail 6-2.
-
Another lackluster outing for LHP Adam Seminaris. A lot of deep, hard contact. He leaves after 3 2/3 and 80 pitches trailing 3-2. His best pitch, by my naked eye, is his change-up. His sweeping curve was getting hammered. As was his heater. Hopefully, he'll improve as the season progresses.
-
LHP Russell Smith is so much better in 2023. He is in-shape and it is making a very big difference. Last year his release point was consistently off and his heater was always sailing high and outside. This year, he is just pounding the zone. 3 IP, 4 K, 0 ER so far. Really nice to see.
-
All these people in t-shirts and shorts in Jacksonville has me all kinds of jealous - it was mid 30's and snowing here in my mountain valley today. 😅
-
OF Eduarqui Fernandez is having a nice bounce back evening. Just hit a solo shot here to make it a 5-1 Mudcats lead and he is 3-for-4 on the evening.
-
I don't know if y'all have ever watched a game in Jacksonville but that fence to straight away CF is 420'. Hiura missed a homer by about 10 feet there and Frelick failed to tag for 3B. Bummer. BUT, Sal did finally manage to get a chopper through the left side of the infield for a double.
-
I am just tuning in. Sounds about right. In the past, that has actually been manager Mike Guererro.
-
RHP Patricio Aquino having a very nice outing so far. I wonder if they'll piggy back with Maldonado again. That's two fine outings to start his 2023. Very nice.
-
A 1-2-3 inning for the Sounds - Perkins deep fly to the warning track; another Frelick weak chopper; and a Hiura ground out to SS. On to Housers' first work in his 2nd rehab start.

OF Jace Avina's 2023: 17 AB. 13 K. 6 BB. 0 XBH.
