Eric Thames Surprises With Appearance On “The King Of Mask Singer” in Korea This is absolutely legendary. Read the story for additional background and be sure to watch the two embedded videos within (also linked below). Eric Thames, that voice! In English & Korean!

OF Zach Clark, likely a 2019 Mudcat, finished his Aussie season with a bang - his team-leading 6th HR, double, and bases-loaded walk. His expansion New Zealand team (14-26) concluded a 40-day road trip, clinching their first series win in their finale. Clark finished with a .702 OPS, a vampire-like split (.882 OPS in 20 night games, .507 OPS in 20 day games). 46 K/9 BB in 135 AB. Six OF assists, just one error. 7 SB/5 CS. Stories to last a lifetime, and this final game highlight. Safe travels home!

RHP Christian Meister, the former Indians' farmhand who joined the Brewers in late June and saw action in Maryvale and Wisconsin, has been pitching in relief for Melbourne in the ABL (seven appearances). His latest effort was clutch, locking down a one-run win with two eventful but scoreless innings of work -- Meister even had to bad, as the opponents lost their DH. Adelaide Top of the 8th Pitching Change: Christian Meister replaces Harrison Cooney, batting 6th. Mikey Reynolds flies out to center fielder Rudy Martin. Nicholas Shumpert walks. Mitchell Edwards singles on a line drive to center fielder Rudy Martin. Nicholas Shumpert to 3rd. Aaron Whitefield called out on strikes. Kuan-Jen Chen walks. Mitchell Edwards to 2nd. Curtis Mead strikes out swinging. Adelaide Top of the 9th Stefan Welch grounds out, second baseman D. J. Burt to first baseman Luke Hughes. Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Austin Gallagher replaces Landon Hernandez. Austin Gallagher strikes out swinging. Jordan McArdle singles on a line drive to center fielder Rudy Martin. Mikey Reynolds singles on a ground ball to right fielder Garrison Schwartz. Jordan McArdle to 3rd. With Nicholas Shumpert batting, Mikey Reynolds steals (8) 2nd base. Nicholas Shumpert flies out to center fielder Rudy Martin. *** That being said, Meister has walked an unsightly 16 in 11 innings (one HBP). The fireballer will need to clean that up in spring camp, heading into his age 25 season.
