  1. 2-0 count. Burke swings at a ball in his eyes - maybe protecting the steal attempt however. 2-1. Now a pitch timer. 3-1 to Burke.
  2. Yup. 48.9 mph exit velo on that Garcia goose turd. 39 degree launch. LOL. Bahahahahaha.
  3. Come on, Blake Burke. LET'S GO! Hit something big fella.
  4. BAHAHAHAHAH. An absolute goose snort bloop for a game-tying single with the infield in. MWahahahahahahah. That was amazing. Runner being held at 1B. That ball didn't leave the infield dirt. Maybe hit 50 mph. Tie game!
  5. Alastre K's on a heater up and outside and out of the zone. Rough look. Naturally, the ump gave an early strike on a heater up an in not in the zone. Two down. Garcia - the only T-Rat really capable of a big hit at present is back at the dish.
  6. Yhoswar sac bunts Baez to 3B. Guilarte walks. Alastre will try to do something that isn't a DP.
  7. Castillo's nightmare continues even in the field. We are in Extras. The runner at 3B (advanced via ground out to 2B) wasn't even going. Yet, he rushes the shallow pop out and drops the ball in the exchange. The run scores. I can not impart enough how ugly his entire body of work has been in 2025. It has been absolutely brutal. The T-Rats escape with no runs if he simply, well, makes the most routine play possible. He doesn't. They fly out to shallow RF on the next pitch. T-Rats will need at least one.
  8. Predictably, Castillo K's looking. What a nightmare 2025 campaign. Absolute nightmare. Up to Nava to try to keep this going.
  9. I was extremely complimentary of the awesome T-Rats throwback jerseys last night. Tonight's jerseys are nothing short of abomination. Only thing that can make these eye sores palatable is a walk-off win! Nicasia pokes the one out single to LF in a 2-for-4 night. Atta way, Kaylan! Castillo is up. These jereys? WOOOOOF. These are serious cringe:
  10. Blake Burke does not have a single HR in July. He is currently slugging 0.298 (before tonight's 0-for-3, 1 BB, 1 R). He has 5 2B in 84 AB. Brutal stretch for a purported slugger.
  11. Meanwhile, Jadher Watch: After last night's 2-for-5, 1 RBI debut? 1-for-3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 2B. So so happy for Him. He didn't fit the culture within the Brewers org. I think he is going to thrive with the Rays. I think he is absolutely going to thrive. Too good a talent - too under-appreciated a talent, honestly - to flounder. He know he's a stud. That rubs some people wrong. But, the proof is in the pudding: he just produces. (Yes, I still understand and support the trade)
  12. I do not enjoy the Double-A RHP Bayden Root experience. He really doesn't have the stuff for this level - it's fairly obvious. I personally felt this was an age-based "Let's see what you do with a bump up!" qualifying assignment. I am not impressed in the early going.
  13. I remember that stretch like it was yesterday. The thing with Turang, and I certainly hope it's true for Pratt, is he always bounced back - every level - and improved the season following struggle. He did it early in his MLB career as well. Optioned? Got better and played better. This is the first prolonged 'real' MiLB test for Pratt. He's met his match. And, that's fine. Nothing I'm saying is negative. It's just the truth. We were OH so spoiled by Chourio. He is a unicorn.
  14. Have a week Eduardo Garcia. 2-for-2, 1 R tonight. Just having a really nice series overall. T-Rats just took a 2-1 lead with the bases dripping and only one out in the bottom of the 4th. Nicasia and Nava singles have each plated one run. RHP Manuel Rodriguez has given up 1 R on a solo jack through 4 IP. 3 K. 2 H. 0 BB. Doing Rodriguez thangs.
  15. I'm absurdly curious to see how the promotions and draft placements shake out over the next two weeks. Very very curious. I personally feel like the only Mudcat we should see promoted in the near term is Adamczewski. Peña and Made would both benefit by staying in Low-A through the end of the season. I think both the Dickinson, Fischer, and Ragsdale signings make the T-Rats composition suddenly interesting when it has been generally snoozy.
  16. I think it is very fair to say SS Cooper Pratt has had an underwhelming season. I expected more. I wanted more. A baseball progression is rarely linear. Pratt hasn't showcased any more power - he's stalemated giving those concerned about his lack of power or power projection more merit. He also has been too inconsistent for a defense first player. He's had some really poor errors. For every incredible play he has made - and he has made them - he has a boneheaded focus error. He lowered in my most recent prospect rankings. I just don't see any helium right now. <Sad Face>
  17. According to Arnold, Miller is holding his velo in good bullpen sessions and they envision him going out on a rehab stint very soon. AND it appears, according to Arnold (tho, not confirmed - please confirm so I can let Josh and Handelfry breathe more freely. I have them locked in my toolshed.) this deal only cost cash:
  18. Down 6-0, and now Kuehner has consecutive walks and a single to load them up with nobody out in the 3rd. OUCH!
  19. If it was his 9 K start at Nashville, maybe they should get more party buses?
  20. Oh boy the 'Cash or PTBNL' has me puckered and a wee shaky in the knees. I must fortify the gates and walls around 'Camp Handelfry & Josh'.
  21. Yeah, when Miller is right? He has been utterly shutdown dominant. He is an Ace up the late inning sleeve. You can't enough of guys his caliber in the post-season.
  22. Well, again, this is where how the Brewers view the players and our perceptions differ. Clearly they like Lockridge. I'm OK with it. They do things like this every year and I have learned to live with it. Given I watch the majority of the Sounds games I will with the possibility they find an Issac Collins and/or Blake Perkins via these avenues (yes, I realize those were ML Rule 5 and ML FA - hence, avenues). They rostered Capra and Roller. They let Shane Smith available for Rule 5. They are not perfect in their evaluations but there is zero doubt in my mind they are utterly faithful to their evaluation systems and criteria and they religiously stick to them. I can absolutely get behind that. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Now, granted, the majority of these AAAA players and moves end up being just that. But, it is an avenue they must exploit and they will certainly try to do so. I'm good with it. Heck, as you know, I love me some Jared Oliva and Daz Cameron. I loved me some late 2024 season Chris Roller. These are still great athletes and good baseball players - even if their likelihood of making it at 'The Big Show' is slim I'm along for the journey.
  23. I think this is also as simple as we have a bounty of depth in the middle infield. We just added Ebel; Dickinson; and Hughes to that mix. We have Made and Peña and a resurgent Eduardo Garcia. Not to mention surging Ethan Murray and an adequate fill-in vet having his most consistent season in Freddy Zamora. Quintana is a defense first guy. We already have a bounty of such depth guys in his age groups and this doesn't even get into Acosta, Rijo, Polanco, Martinez, and possibly Ereu down the line.
