    Lost in the shuffle of that Carolina Puello induced blow-out is the fine work of Venezuelan starter Edwin Jimenez. The Puello outing was fairly disappointing given what we saw in his first outing of the year but, on the other side of things Jimenez was equally impressive. I made this comparison in the Game Thread last night: he has a lot of Mike Fiers to his approach. He doesn't have a lot of velo (probably touching a high of 90-91 on his heat), but his breaking stuff and off-speed stuff were really dialed making that heater look more formidable than it was and is (at present). He was working fast in the new pitch clock implementation with a really smooth delivery. And, perhaps most fun to watch, was how confident and 'gamer' he looked on the mound. I'm excited to track his progress into the season. It was a really good outing. He is 20 yo until late December of this year.

    I Heart Weston. I really do. I sincerely hope he gets a call up this season. He does anything and everything. His glove and his arm are truly fantastic and he does enough at the plate to merit spot duty with the Big Club. Agreed on the Brosseau sentiments.

    I think what is clear to me is I'm tuning in to watch Lucas Vildoza pass the basketball. My sweetness did he have some dimes in that so called garbage time. Put it in my veins.?

    Boy, that's a really nice outing by Victor Castaneda. 5 ip, 7 k, 4 hits, 1 bb, and 1 ER. He's having a very nice start to his season.
  9. Joseph Zarr
    Oh man, this series literally can not see a game decided by more than one run. LOL. Arnaldo Hernandez gives up a 2-run deep shot to Neslony to right field and it's 6-5. The next batter grounds out. Biloxi wins! Hey Now! For those of you counting at home: that's four straight 1-run decisions. Biloxi now 1-3 on the six game series.

    Jinx Padlock baby! What a rocket eh?
  11. Joseph Zarr
    Freddy Zamora also smacked his 3rd hit of the evening, with one down, on a beautiful opposite field rocket literally dancing down the first base line over the bag at first. Gabe Holt followed with an infield single to deep short stop - third base side - as the entire infield was playing pull. To the bottom of the ninth we go...
  12. Joseph Zarr
    Its 3-3 Biloxi in the bottom of the 8th. They've led, and lost, every game in this series. AND, OH BABYYYYYYYY, Garrett Mitchell rockets a first pitch line drive rocket over deep Center and it's 6-3 folks! Beautiful swing. And he crushed it.
  13. Joseph Zarr
    I believe Israel Puello is going to want to forget tonight. From the get go, it wasn't good. 2 ip and 7 earned runs on 8 hits and a free pass. Back to the proverbial drawing board. Yikes.
  14. Joseph Zarr
    That had to have been a sight. Jackson inside the parker?!? Oh, you bet I'm going back to watch that. LOL. Biloxi strands 2 more runners after Mitchell pops up to 3rd (a very common theme in this series) and it is still 2-0 headed to the Bottom of the 2nd.
  15. Joseph Zarr
    Puello comes in and struggles. Two first pitch singles, one walk, and a bases clearing double to Left Center. 4 runs on 3 hits. 0 outs. A no decision for Edwin Jimenez. This is not the same Puello we saw in his first appearance. 3-4 Hillcats lead the Mudcats. I should add: after surrendering the first pitch singles Israel fell behind in every count afterward. Several decent off-speed/off-the-plate pitches but all-in-all just an off night.
  16. Joseph Zarr
    Jimenez makes it through 5 complete with a mere 5 hits (see above: several absolute seeing-eye dribblers or flares) and 5 k's. NO walks. A great outing from the 20 yo Venezuelan. Lots to like here. Be excited. Israel Puello is back on the mound. I'm excite!
  17. Joseph Zarr
    Valerio delivers, baby. First hit of the series (oddly, as he's had many a good AB). Knocks a single and scores Mitchell. Biloxi 1-0. I wouldn't get excited just yet - a familiar scene this entire series is Biloxi gets out early and Birmingham comes on late.
  18. Joseph Zarr
    Thomas Dillard has essentially almost only come to the plate in this series, I would gather (without digging into it but from watching the games), with RISP. He is developing an uncanny ability to watch a called third strike. ? He is now 2-11 on the series after taking a called third strike with Wiemer on first and Mitchell on second. 2 down and Felix Valerio comes to the plate.
  19. Joseph Zarr
    Edwin leaves the 4th after one run and a few absolutely seeing-eye and flare hits. He's cruising otherwise. 2-1 Mudcats into the Fifth. Now, I shall migrate to Biloxi and see if we can get some hits and maybe even (gasps) a Luis Urias sighting at some point.
  20. Joseph Zarr
    Good mention but they haven't been leading any games. All their most recent bullpen work of the past 10 days (beyond his appearance and the 'shortly thereafter') have been while trailing. Abner is most definitely a guy you put in 7-9th when you are leading. I would imagine we'd see him tonight after they worked in Erceg last night? Regardless, nice pull!
  21. Joseph Zarr
    Here's my comparison, early, for Edwin Jimenez (I realize these are always a wee silly): Mike Fiers Doesn't have massive velo on his heater. But, boy, he has the size and the mound presence and the mix of really nice off-speed stuff. Lots to like here.
  22. Joseph Zarr
    For a 20 yo, I really like what I'm seeing from Edwin Jimenez. He is mixing in a Breaking Ball, Change-up, and Curve with a fastball early. He is an interesting prospect and, I would argue, with the 'stuff' I'm seeing this is worth a look in the Top 30. Oswald Leones with a loud opposite field single rifled through 3rd base and Short. It's 2-0 Mudcats - the bases were juiced. Trenton Denholm was cruising for the Hillcats with 4 straight K's to start the contest but ran into trouble here in that crucial bottom of the order (coughs. I'm looking at you Biloxi). Naturally, the homeplate umpire missed a called strike 3 on a beautiful knee high breaking pitch that had completely fooled Arbert Cipion and he allowed him the free pass to load the bases.
  23. Joseph Zarr
    Jimenez looking sharp in inning One. Really nice changeup. 3 up and 3 down with a sexy strikeout to end the top half.
  24. Joseph Zarr
    It would appear the Timber Rattlers game 3 versus the River Bandits is postponed due to rain. Well, shucks.
  25. Joseph Zarr
    I was literally just going to post that. LOL. I was wondering: Maybe I should post this for @damuelle. It's getting close. And, voila, there it is. Magic! (Speaking specifically of the Carolina lineup. I had a fist pump seeing Mendez in the DH spot!)
