    I would add to Sammon's Andrews fastball/change-up remarks above: Early in 2023, by my eye, his slider is far and away his most dangerous strikeout pitch. He is reaching 3,000 plus rpm spin on that offering with over a foot of horizontal break. It's nasty.

    More sad face. That is 2022 form. What was outing one, then? We'll have to wait and see. Lotta ball game left. Definitely concerning.

    This post just makes me all sorts of sad face. Ugh on both counts. I thought we might have turned a corner. Lo and behold, it was the small sample teaser. Let's hope Small can reclaim outing number one. He was fantastic. It appears tonight was a reversion to late 2022.
  4. Joseph Zarr
    Yup. There's a reason the Brewers were super high on him before his lost year. That slider is wild.

    And, it looks like we have the line-up card for Game 2. Let's keep it rolling Mr. Boushley:

    Game 1 is in the books. Gasser went 4 scoreless - 1H, 4 BB, 3 K (87 pitches); Erceg and Peguero followed with the 3 shutout innings and the Sounds win game 1 4-0. Frelick bounces back with a 3-for-4 mark from the lead-off spot (1 2B, 1 SB). Navaretto, Henry, Monasterio, and Naquin with single rbi's apiece. Looks like Alvarez was given the SS spot and Monasterio pushed to 3B for this one with Hiura back at 2B. I was hoping to see this and there we have it.

    The guy he has reminded me of for quite awhile is Jim Gantner. I would add, however, Turang is possibly the better athlete and has the potential to tap into a bit more power with his smooth and improving stroke. But, in terms of defensive range and fluidity and flexibility on the diamond it's been Gantner for quite awhile for me.

    Very excited to see how Bennett rises to meet a new bullpen role. He was absolutely dominant for innings in 2022 but he encountered quite a bit of inconsistency over the course of his many starts as well. This is yet another storyline to follow in the early going.

    Welcome aboard, Barney! Thanks for supporting the Mudcats. It sure looks like a fun roster to start the season that is for sure.

    Confirms what I saw from RHP Luis Contreras: MLB-caliber spin across all his pitches. Same for Cam Robinson though he will need to fine-tune his ongoing location issues, imho. Anyhow, thanks again. This is really fun. Will be quite lovely to follow-up post-Gasser outing.
  11. Joseph Zarr
    Right off the bat, I see that LHP Clayton Andrews ripped off a 3066.5 rpm slider in his lone outing to date? If he could fine tune the Cutter, 4-Seam, Sinker mix we could really be onto something here. Obviously, it's quite early. It's one outing. He's coming off a recovery brief stint in 2022. Anywho, that slider is something to watch.
  12. Joseph Zarr
    Whoa. THIS is awesome. Thanks gents!

    What I can say is the Sounds have 3 extremely capable back stops. The trio of Jackson, Henry, and Navarreto is about as good as it gets for a Triple-A pitching staff. Jackson obviously has the most pop of the three. Henry is likely the best bet to hit for the highest average. And, Navarreto is hands down the best defender - elite in this department - and has become quite adept at situational hitting. Either way you peel the potato, it's going to taste good imho. As to MLB opportunities, well, it's just a really hard nut to crack. The unfortunate part of not rising to your MLB moment(s) is your opportunities simply decrease. I wish this weren't the case but it is a performance based business. Hopefully, each of these men get another opportunity to shine at the highest level - with the Brewers or, perhaps, elsewhere.

    Given the affiliates across all affiliated levels kick-off tomorrow, it would be appropriate to also post here that we are 4 AB's away from watching the #1 MLB Prospect in all of baseball. No big deal. Really, not that big of a deal:

    I will be tuning in late to Game 2, hopefully, this evening. Bummed I'm going to miss Gasser's start but, perhaps, late night I'll review the tape. Go Sounds!

    Looks like the Shuckers closed it out 8-0 tonight. Recap article via Shuckers website HERE. Cliffnotes: Ethan Murray and Jeferson Quero both homered Led 8-0 after 3 innings Robbie Baker threw a perfect 3 K inning 🤩 Pitchers combined for 15 total K's (Jarvis, Seminaris, Baker, and Darrell Thompson)

    Puts even more emphasis on LHP Ethan Small's development down in Nashville. Obviously, these are very different pitchers. But, we could really use Small to solidify as another Lefty arm in the Pen who has experience as a Starter. He looked fantastic in his first outing - the best he's looked since 2021, honestly. I'm crossing my fingers he's turned a corner after a pretty tough 2022.

    Sometimes a joke is 'funny' because it's true...

    I am here (crossing fingers) for the Freddy Zamora bounce back season. Please, oh please, let him be healthy; stay healthy; and toss 2022 in the dumpster and light it on fire.

    OF Yophery Rodriguez has been assigned to the DSL Brewers-1 (he had signed back in January of 2023)
  24. Joseph Zarr
    Ugh. That absolutely stinks.

    What I like most about Mitchell in this young stage is the Clutch factor. He has come through now in several key and clutch moments. He has that innate capacity to meet the moment. This is huge. And, it's something we didn't know we had in the lower levels.
