  1. Joe Gray Jr. following up his shared 'Player of the Month' nod by going 3-for-4 and hitting his 7th homer - a 2-run shot in the first. Ashton McGee with again improving his results at the plate is 2-for-4 with a rbi. Newly acquired, and playing 2nd base on the evening, Jose Acosta has also endeared himself to his teammates with a ding dong. It's 7-4 Rattlers in the top of the eighth where Cam Robinson will try and work around a lead-off double to preserve the lead.
  2. Doston has a little bit of ol' CF lead-off specialist, Juan Pierre, to his game. Like Pierre, Lefty. Like Pierre, quite diminutive. Like Pierre, a very quick and shortened hit-to-contact swing. It's been fun to watch his time in Biloxi. Heck of a game last night!

  4. One of my early morning delights has been the discovery of Jakson and Will Reetz sharing brotherly love and support across baseball levels: Apparently, the Reetz bros. use the age old lingo 'Johnsons' when referring to home runs.?
  5. I've watched his ascent all season down in Zebulon, I've mentioned him on numerous occasions in my Minor League Reports - including repeated nods to his improved play in the season's early going - Example Here - as he seemed to be turning a possible corner. Why has Arbert Cipion been promoted? Here's a snippet: Huge congratulations to this young man. It's amazing what further departure from early COVID can do for these young athletes. It's almost like we can surmise an entire missed 2020 season of development had an impact.
  6. Tristen Lutz continues to crush since his IL return. Hard to fathom the difference I've witnessed since his rough April:
  7. It's hard not to be extremely excited about Kelly's toolkit and, most noticeably, his current approach. Extremely level-headed young man who seems to really espouse that 'never too high, never too low' mentality. He's fought through very early adversity and has that experience foundational to his career.
  8. Something happened when he returned from the IL on May 14th. He had a really good opening series in Pensacola. It had me very excited and then, well, he really didn't do much of anything for the remainder of April (he went to the IL on 4/29 fwiw). When he returned, he was facing the following over his first 33 AB's through April 29th (very small sample size, but it tells you how he was trending): 0.161 BA/ 0.211 OBP/ 0.303 SLG/3 Runs/ 2 HR/ 6 RBI/ 4 BB/ 16 K's Both HR's occurred in key spots in the above-mentioned Pensacola opening series. But, man, that was not a good start overall. What a difference some time off can make! Since coming back he has been locked-in at the dish. He's just swinging free. He looks like a completely different player in the batters box. Let's look at his production in May til now: (near double the sample size): 0.328 BA/ 0.385 OBP/ 0.579 SLG/ 4 Doubles/ 4 HR's/18 RBI/6 BB/ 19 K's That, my friend, is scorching hot. Man, I hope we see some form of this throughout the season.
  9. I am going to go ahead and give the salutatory (RHP) Matt Hardy appreciation post. All Matt has done since being brought back up to Nashville from Biloxi is get out of innings. It's truly great stuff he's been putting out there. Another scoreless frame tonight with a couple strikeouts. Overall, since being brought back to Nashville (you might recall, he started the season with Nashville and was sent to Biloxi during their inaugural Pensacola series. He was called back 5/17 when the Sounds were facing the Louisville Bats) he has pitched: 7 1/3 innings pitched for the Sounds over 5 games: 6 hits/ 1 walk/ 9 k's /0.96 WHIP/ O.160 BAA He's looked comfortable. Calm. Methodical. And the results are showing. Great stuff!
  10. As an FYI update: Chourio hit the go ahead home homer in the eighth tonight - second HR in as many nights. Quero followed it with a two-run Jack. The game was suspended and will resume in the eighth inning tomorrow.
  11. What. A. Win! Cheers to all you Game Thread-ers who made it through that rally. Epic stuff. Strzelecki got his feet wet too. He has nasty stuff when he’s on. We got a little taste tonight.
  12. Yuppers. He was a high school signee. His approach at the dish right now is so confident, poised but meaningfully aggressive. He’s simply seeing that ball like a stud right now.
  13. Well, shucks, that’s a Tristan Lutz back-to-back ding Dong on the coat tails of Dillard’s fourth. 9-3. Man, Lutz is scorching hot right now and it is awesome to see it!
  14. Noah Campbell with a double and a triple to pair with home run jacks from Thomas Dillard and Cam Devanney. Shook completes six innings. Shuckers currently lead 8-3 in the eighth.
  15. Joey Wiemer sits again but Felix Valerio returns to the line-up. Lots of good production from the lower half of the order again for our Shuckers. This is a new trend of late and I quite like it. Yeison Coca with 2 hits and 2 RBI’s from the 9-hole. Splendid!
  16. With the bases juiced and nobody down, and trailing 2-0, Joe Gray Jr. and Tristan Peters strike out swinging. There’ll be a pitching change and Ethan Murray will look to make the difference. Cedar Rapids lost tonight and South Bend won. It would be a large victory if the young men can pull it out.
  17. Well, Josh Lindbolm wanted to offer condolences to his bullpen mates of last night. Josh surrenders 7 runs on 10 hits in five innings. Connor Sadzeck, not to leave an aged vet hanging, proceeds to give up back-to-back jacks to open the sixth. It’s 9-4 Durham.
  18. He shore as heck did. Did you catch the follow-up 2-run shot from Quero? Glorious Mudcats goodness!
  19. Can I get a witnesssss? we have Jackson Chourio and Jefferson Quero with ding dongs in the eighth inning before a delay to grab that 5-2 lead! Chourio’s 2nd in 2 days baby.
  20. Jheremy Vargas continues his fine series with an opposite field single scoring Oswel Leones (an opposite left field double to the wall himself). It's 1-0 Mudcats here in the top of the 2nd.
  21. Almonte stays hot with a two-out double in the top of the first and Mathias continues his dominant Triple-A form with a two-run jack for his 5th of the season. 2-0 Nashville on to the bottom half.
  22. The Mudcats strand Eduardo Garcia at second after his one out double. Chourio strikes out swinging on an outside heater and Hendry Mendez grounds out to short. On to the bottom half.
