    CHOURIO BOMB. OH BABBBBBBBBY. Whereas Patrick Dorrian can't corral a classic flare pop up just inside and down the third base foul line (after the homeplate ump blew two strike three calls on the batter before....ugh) and drops it in his manic pursuit...Chourio ropes a 3-run jack off the foul pole down the right field line. YEAH BABY! It's 4-0. Whewwwwww. 310' down the right field line off the pole. Wow. Just wow. When the stroke is pure, even seemingly benign hits have power:

    Cruz tonight: 67 mph 12-6 curve 74 mph slider 87-93 on the fastball - I swear he also has two different versions of this pitch. I'll need to find out more in the coming months. 0 R through 4 IP. Not as efficient as he can be. BUT, literally one real mistake pitch in his entire outing so far. He's so advanced for his age. Such a joy to watch.

    Here's a take: Who cares where these prognosticators rank us when we have Jeferson Quero in our system? Yeah, that's right. I'm coming at you with some catching beef. No RHP Stiven Cruz on their so called 'Top 30'? Meh. ? Here's a stat to fire at y'all: Carolina (even though they're trailing 8-0 tonight in the middle innings - yikes) just threw out their 81st runner of their season. That leads all the Minor Leagues. Last team in any level to do that? 2016. ?

    This just in: I LOVE watching Josh Lindbolm hurl the white rat. He gives middle aged men a sense of hope they too can have as fine-tuned and savvy a skill set as he does (Josh, you're not old. I'm old). Man, he just knows how to pitch. I don't care about his MLB experience or lack of success at that level. He has so much skill and tools in the pitching toolkit. Very humble guy in all his interviews too.

    Alright, Cipppppp! First pitch solo bomb over the wall in left field. Looked like possibly a changeup? Exit velo of 102. 1-0. This just in: Stiven Cruz is a pitcher. Man, he's fun to watch. Not in the MLB pipeline so called 'Top 30'? Yeah, right. This kid, at 20 yo, already has a fairly high floor. 5 K's through 2 IP. He's not quite on tonight but he never seems uncomfortable. And, man, he is so dang crafty.

    Olguin just gave a grand salami after getting the double play out of his third inning bases loaded jam. Yowza. Carolina trails 8-0.
  8. Joseph Zarr
    Cruz just threw a 69 mph raindrop gorgeous curve in for a dime strike right down the heart of the plate at the upper edge of the zone - a 12-6 plopper. He follows with a 92 mph heater that had to have felt like 102. This young hurler has a developing craft. He works around a walk, and a mistake slider deep double and strikes out the side. 0-0. On to the 2nd frame. The fascinating thing about Cruz, as it stands today (at just 20 years old), is his changeup is effectively a strikeout pitch against lefty bats. It has ridiculously late tailing action off the plate. It's already a very impressive pitch. You don't know if that's coming or the inside sweeping slider/breaking ball. Lots of tools to work with for the young hurler.

    RHP Logan Henderson leaves after 2 IP - he was definitely not sharp tonight. He makes way for RHP Fernando Olguin who comes on here in the third inning and proceeds to give up a lead-off single. The Fireflies are knocking singles all over the ballpark tonight.

    With the emergence of Jeferson Quero (now in Wisconsin) and the consistent play of Jose Sibrian...and now the play of Alex Hall...the Mudcats now lead all of the Minor Leagues with 81 baserunners caught stealing (CS). That's a vast turnaround from last year. Quite a remarkable feat. That is the first 80 CS for a Minor League team (in all of the MiLB system) since 2016.
  11. Joseph Zarr
    And, after a lead-off single to CF...Logan Henderson commits his 2nd error. That's 3 Mudcat errors and we are in the 2nd inning. Henderson then proceeds to hit the next batter on a heater up and in. Men on 1st and 2nd. No outs. Nobody is up in the Mudcats bullpen. This is the first time Henderson has exceeded 30 pitches as a Mudcat. He definitely does not have his best stuff tonight. let's hope he can grit it out.
  12. Joseph Zarr
    And chalk Brown's first out to: incredibly good contact. He hits an absolute rope deep to the wall in right center but the right fielder takes the perfect route and reaches up at the last second to corral the line drive at the warning track. Heck of a grab.
  13. Joseph Zarr
    Broadcaster, Greg Brown, just stated Eric Brown Jr. was shelved last week with 'soreness'. Unspecified.
  14. Joseph Zarr
    2 K, 2 BB, 2 H, 2 Errors and, well, that's a 3-0 deficit for the Mudcats going into the bottom of the 1st. Not a pretty inning. Henderson's stuff looked quite good on his last batter - tho, I see he threw 31 pitches...ummm. I got back from an errand to see a poor Sibrian decision on a stolen base attempt with a runner on 3rd base leading to the 3rd run. Let's get it going, Mudcats!

    The Sounds return from a 12-game road trip with an 8-4 record overall. The 4-2 series victory in Durham (68-55 - 1st place tie atop the Int'l East Division) was perhaps most impressive considering how lefty-dominant their batting order is and Nashville (74-48) now has zero lefties in their bullpen. Memphis (63-59 - 4th place Int'l West) will head to First Horizon Park having taken 5 of 7 games in Charlotte last week. The Sounds lead the Columbus Clippers (71-50) by a mere 2.5 games in the International West Division and the Clippers will be home as well taking on the second to last place Iowa Cubs (56-67). Another big series as the Sounds make a post-season push. Let's go!

    You know the system is trending in the right direction when you consider the number of roster shuffles manager Victor Estevez has undergone in 2022...and, here we sit in very late August and I look at that young roster and have one reaction: One of the surprising questions I have as Carolina's season comes to a close: Can 3B Branlyn Jaraba keep a semblance of this offensive production up? Can he cut down on the K:BB ratio? He's suddenly come onto our radar here in the past couple of weeks.
  17. Joseph Zarr
    I saw that as well. I imagine they'll treat him like they've treated Logan Henderson - 2 IP goal for the first game(s). I'm really excited to see Misiorowski's stuff! (Laughs to self: I say that about every prospect)
  18. Joseph Zarr
    Speaking of Mudcats, how cool is this?
  19. Joseph Zarr
    It was quite obvious from his first start in Biloxi: he's already our best pitching prospect by a fair measure. Everything he does is controlled and repeatable. He also clearly has a highly competitive and fiery personality. I am extremely excited to see what he does as he matures some and continues fine-tuning his stuff. His cutter to slider combo is downright scary. A refresher might be due: Hear from the Gas Man Himself

    Mitchell's swing is smoother, more level, and easeful. Wiemer's swing is quite a bit more 'violent'. Wiemer also really extends that lead leg and has a bit more lean into his stance whereas Mitchell is a bit more upright. Both are definitely open stances, however, and have some similarities. For a real wild n wooly open stance, wait until you see Tayden Hall take some swings. Quite honestly, it's one of the most unorthodox set-ups I've ever seen. And, it's certainly working for him so far.

    AND, as Wisconsin takes the road...they'll lean on their recently promoted trio of Aces. Tonight, it's RHP Stiven Cruz:

    You'd be hard-pressed to find a reliever in the Milwaukee system having a rougher second half than RHP Arnaldo Hernandez. We've seen an acceptable workhorse season turn into a quagmire since his return from the IL. I sure hope he can find some semblance of form! It's always tough to see a guy consistently get roughed up.
