AUDIO via Friday's Sky Sox Pre-Game: First baseman Garrett Cooper

[Jenkins5]

Wily Peralta looks like exact same guy..... sad

[dacbrewers]

Wonder whos going down when Peralta comes back?

[Humans Need Water]

Wonder whos going down when Peralta comes back?

I'd be shocked if he ever made it back up with us. Otherwise Scahill is the obvious answer

[Crash2303]

I wish theyd just send peralta down to Arizona it's like he's forgotten how to pitch. No pressure just work w coaches on fundamentals and get your form back. There's no way I'd bring him back to the big leagues until he had some successful outings in the minors and showed he's back on track.

Davis, Choice spark thrilling comeback win for Shuckers over Wahoos

The Shuckers scored a season-high seven runs in the eighth inning Saturday

By Biloxi Shuckers

 

Johnny Davis celebrates with Javier Betancourt after scoring a run during the seven-run eighth inning on Saturday (Hunter Reed)

 

Biloxi Shuckers Box Score

 

 

Quick Summary:

Luis Ortiz has struggled of late and it didn't get much better giving up four runs in 4.2 innings. Luis Ortiz was doing well through four innings, but ran into trouble giving up all four of his four earned runs.Things were looking dim for the Shuckers who went into the 8th inning down by two runs 4-6. However the offense exploded for seven runs, capped off by a Clint Coulter homer to win 11-6

 

Pitching Summary:

On the mound, Luis Ortiz (4.2 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 K) started the game while Tayler Scott (1.1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, K), Jorge Lopez (2.0 IP, 3 K), and Matt Ramsey (1.0 IP, K) provided the relief.

 

Hitting Summary:

Clint Coulter (2-5, 2 R, 3 RBI, HR)

Johnny Davis (3-5, 2 R, 2 RBI)

Dustin DeMuth (2-4, R, 2B, 2 RBI, HR)

 

 

Biloxi Shuckers Game Log

 

Massive 8th inning turns deficit into blowout. Capped off by a Clint Coulter homer.

[82brewcrew82]

Tucker Neuhaus 0-6 with six strikeouts. Not sure I've ever seen that before.

[LouisEly]

On the bright side, Zack Brown with another good outing. Looks like he's over the injury he was dealing with earlier this year.

 

I really wonder how much value Garret Cooper has on the trade market. It's easy to assume little because he's never been a big-time prospect, he's playing in Colorado Springs, he's never put up double-digit HRs before, etc., but the reality is that none of us are scouts (well, a couple irregulars are) and none of us are GMs that evaluate players for a living. But he's putting up a damn impressive year. Yes, he has some huge home/road splits, but an .841 road OPS isn't bad at all.

 

Also wondering why Yadiel Rivera is on the big league club and not Ivan De Jesus. Not saying IDJ is a barn burner, but Rivera has never hit worth a lick anywhere and never will.

[Humans Need Water]

Ivan wouldn't play that's why. Rivera is the 25th man and will sit there most of the time.

Final: DSL Indians/Brewers 2, DSL Dodgers2 0

 

The Brewers co-op team beat the Dodgers in a game completed after seven innings due to rain on Saturday.

Mudcats lose late lead while suffering fifth straight loss

Medeiros finished with a no-decision, but earned his first quality start

By Gregory Young / Carolina Mudcats | July 8, 2017 10:02 PM ET

 

http://www.milb.com/assets/images/5/5/2/227352552/cuts/16x9_Medeiros_gx0n0faj_36ea1c8x.jpg

Kodi Medeiros pitching for the 2017 Carolina Mudcats at Five County Stadium. (NIKOLAUS - Carolina Mudcats)

 

Carolina dropped their 5th straight, the longest such streak of the season. Kodi Medeiros (6 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 5 K) had his longest outing of the year. Two of the three hits were fly balls that could have been caught. Troy Stokes Jr lost one in the twilight and Trent Clark mis-played the other. Unfortunately, both happened in the 2nd inning when Winston-Salem scored all three of their runs off Medeiros. Quintin Torres-Costa (2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 1 K) took the loss in relief.

 

At the plate, Trent Clark was 2-4 with a double and a walk. Jose Cuas (1-4, HR) added a solo home run. Lucas Erceg (2-4, 2B), Jake Gatewood (2-3, 2B, BB) and Brandon Diaz (2-4) had multi-hit games.

Noted within the Biloxi game summary, OF Michael Reed exited with an undisclosed injury. It's been a snakebit 2017 for him.

[Mass Haas]

Thanks again for our DSL coverage, Brad.

 

One thing I realized on Saturday was that in the 12-inning Friday night affair, it took five tries before a team scored in the new extra-inning format where a runner starts on second base to open the inning. Not going to see that often.

Wondering if RHP Andrew Vernon was actually on hand in time, he must have been, as the transaction was formally announced. Was one of them up and throwing as RHP Parker Berberet ran out of gas in the 12th?
