Rain from Tropical Storm Cindy could alter weekend schedule

 

With rain from Tropical Storm Cindy pelting south Louisiana the past few days and expected to continue, the New Orleans Baby Cakes are taking precautions for their four-game series against the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, which is scheduled for Thursday through Sunday.

 

“We've got extra pumps that we've gone out and bought,” general manager Augusto “Cookie” Rojas said. “We've gotten sand to help move air underneath the tarp. Having a tarp in Louisiana, it's difficult to keep it out, especially when it's not raining. You've got to know when to take it on and off.

 

“The latest report is that the outfield is doing well and the infield is dry. Our goal is to try to play the games coming up this weekend. They promise to be some big nights. We've had some big advance sales. We're going to have some pumps to keep water out of the dugout.”

[Mass Haas]

And, of course, look for Ryan Braun and Jonathan Villar in Timber Rattler uniforms tonight!

Still time to bid!

[WV Brew]

Seems to be a late start for Carolina. I'm not too far from there and have a very low chance of rain until tomorrow AM. Maybe a communications problem? By the way, Potomac is located in Woodbridge, VA instead of Potomac, MD.

Final: DSL Diamondbacks2 10, DSL Brewers 7

 

The Diamondbacks scored six runs in the bottom of the eighth to come back and knock off the Brewers by a score of 10-7 on Thursday.

 

DSL Brewers Box Score

 

Maiker Pinto made the start for the Brewers and went 4.1 innings, allowing four runs. 21-year-old righty Jesus Brea followed with 2.2 scoreless innings of relief, but Jenri Montas got roughed up for six runs on six hits while recording just one out in the eighth inning and was charged with the loss. 18-year-old Panamanian outfielder Bryan Connell reached base three times, going 2-for-3 with a walk and drove in two runs, while leadoff hitter Luis Manon also contributed a pair of singles and a stolen base.

 

DSL Brewers Game Log

 

The Brewers briefly took the lead with a three-run seventh inning.

With Luis Valdez batting, Bryan Connell caught stealing 2nd base, catcher Sandy Martinez to second baseman Juan Gil.

[WV Brew]

If you were wondering who would be the odd man out in the Carolina outfield - it looks like it's Monte Harrison (at least for today). Jose Cuas is the DH and he hit a 2 run HR in his first at bat. Of course, Ayrault knows him from last year as Cuas spent time in Brevard County with the Manatees.

[And That]

Wisconsin rained out. Doubleheader tomorrow starting at 5:35.

[Jenkins5]

Did it storm that bad in Appleton? I'm in Fond du Lac and it has barely sprinkled.

[AKCheesehead]

Quite the line for Kodi tonight. 16 pitches, all strikes, for 3 IP.

Seems to pitch better when he pitches on the back end

Gatewood and Cuas hit home runs in 5-3 loss in Potomac

Gatewood hit his tenth home run of the season in Thursday's series opening loss in Potomac

By Gregory Young / Carolina Mudcats | June 22, 2017 10:56 PM ET

Jake Gatewood batting for the Carolina Mudcats at Five County Stadium in Zebulon, N.C. (NIKOLAUS - Carolina Mudcats)

 

A solo home run by Jake Gatewood (2-4, 3B, HR) in the 2nd inning and a two run home run by Jose Cuas (1-4) in the 3rd staked Jordan Yamamoto (5 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 0 BB, 8 K) to a 3-0 lead. The Nationals got all 3 back in the bottom of the 3rd capped off by a 2 run home run from Taylor Gushue, who now has 13 home runs this year. It came on a 3-0 pitch. The Nationals added 2 in the 5th to provide the final margin.

 

Kodi Medeiros (3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K) is discussed in this thread above. 16 pitches, all strikes, includes 3 K's. How is that possible? Anyway, the effort came to naught when the Mudcats could not produce any more runs. Trent Clark (2-3, BB) also had a positive game. Isan Diaz was 0-4 with 3 K's and has gone totally off the track. Splits by month for Isan:

 

April: .333/.420/.754

May: .325/.470/.794

June: .290/.148/.438

Quite the line for Kodi tonight. 16 pitches, all strikes, for 3 IP.

 

The Mudcats' Greg Young debunked the pitch counts from this box score -- mis-reported by MiLB's on-site tracker. Still a nice relief stint for Kodi.

Helena Box Score

 

3B Dallas Carroll has now reached base seven times in his first two pro games; looking forward to learning more about 18-year-old switch-hitting Red Sox forfeited signing SS Antonio Pinero and what the organization sees to merit an aggressive placement this summer.
