Forbes also lists the Cardinals with the 6th highest revenues of all teams (why are the Cardinals in the competitive balance lottery again?).

 

So with one of the wealthiest cities in the world and a money rich organization, Palm Beach Cardinals are still living in the pre-radio 19th Century. BOOOO!

[Mass Haas]

LHP Zach Hirsch's Timber Rattlers tandem partner tonight is 19-year-old RHP David Burkhalter, anxious to see him again. Hirsch did not have a tandem partner in April, but obviously with the first night back situation, will tonight.

[Mass Haas]

Kudos, CS Photography 360, this is absolutely spectacular!

 

[Mass Haas]

What are the odds that a guy wearing a helmet-cam makes a bare-handed catch in the crowd at the Biloxi home opener? Apparently, excellent.

 

[TheCrew07]

The T-Rats have made 2 outs at home and 1 at 3rd in the first 3 innings and are still up 4-0, that's not something we've been able to say very often this season.

 

Edit. I mean giving outs away on the bases and still being up big, not the specific situation.

[Mass Haas]

Seven earned runs against Tyler Thornburg in the 2nd, ouch...

[TheCrew07]

The Rattlers are playing awesome defense behind Hirsch, lots of loud outs and tough plays but nothing on the board.

Solid tweet, if I say so myself (actually, I did ): #Brewers Orlando Arcia is younger than the two shortstops who went 1-2 in the @MLBDraft. His bonus was only $95,000.

 

***

 

And this one, as you'll read about in the AM: KISS IT GOODBYE!!! The 1st HR in @MGMPark history belongs to @OrlandoArcia9! 2 runs score and the #Shuckers lead, 2-0, B6!!!

[Mass Haas]

Final: DSL Tigers 2, DSL Brewers 0

 

DSL Brewers Box Score

 

Cerveceritos fall to 2-6, despite outhitting the Tiger kids, 9-6. Only one walk drawn, though...

 

Team RISP: 2-for-10.

Team LOB: 9.

 

Three older Brewers pitchers did well here, but not a night for a young gun highlight...

 

DSL Brewers Game Log

 

This doesn't happen without an injury of some sort for the 18-year-old first baseman --

 

DSL Brewers Top of the 4th

 

Franly Mallen grounds out, third baseman Randel Alcantara to first baseman Moises Nunez.

Nicol Valderrey singles on a ground ball to center fielder Sauris Mejia.

Yerison Pena strikes out swinging.

Julio Mendez singles on a ground ball to center fielder Sauris Mejia. Nicol Valderrey to 3rd. Julio Mendez to 2nd on the throw.

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-runner Josue Herrera replaces Nicol Valderrey

Adolfo Morillo singles on a line drive to shortstop Isrrael De La Cruz. Julio Mendez out at 2nd, shortstop Isrrael De La Cruz.

 

Did you notice the next play after the injury? Must have been a batted ball hitting the baserunner.
