More Adam McCalvy Retweeted Matt Dawson

Hit in the shoulder by a pitch during a doubleheader on Sunday, and it tightened up on him. Expected back at DH for the Mudcats tonight, per Tom Flanagan, who said the elbow remains "unchanged." They think he'll be fine with some more time off from throwing.

From the Transaction Thread --

RHP Angel Ventura has been transferred to Colorado Springs. OF Kyle Wren placed on the DL

 

From Tuesday's game 4/10:

 

New Orleans Top of the 6th

 

Pitching Change: Michael Brady replaces Freddy Peralta, batting 9th, replacing Johnny Davis.

Cristhian Adames singles on a line drive to center fielder Keon Broxton.

Jonathan Rodriguez grounds into a double play, second baseman Andres Blanco to shortstop Mauricio Dubon to first baseman Ji-Man Choi. Cristhian Adames out at 2nd.

Rafael Ortega triples (1) on a fly ball to center fielder Keon Broxton.

Defensive Substitution: Quintin Berry replaces left fielder Kyle Wren, batting 8th, playing left field.

J. B. Shuck doubles (2) on a fly ball to center fielder Keon Broxton. Rafael Ortega scores.

I went back to watch the MiLB.com archive (01:51:00 minute mark), and Wren suffered what appeared to be either a groin or hamstring injury chasing the ball down. He did walk off under his own power, so hopefully his 7-day DL stint won't extend by too much.

Only if it's too early to get excited about Gilbert Lara again.

Final: Biloxi 6, Mississipi 5

 

Ray Completes Comeback to Make it a Sweet Six for the Shuckers

Corey Ray's Five RBIs Pave the Way for Biloxi's Sixth Consecutive Win

By Spencer Siegel

 

 

Biloxi Box Score

 

Corey Ray has had three hits - including the game-winner - and drove in five runs on Thursday to lead Biloxi to a 6-5 victory over Mississippi. Ray also had a walk and a stolen base. The Shuckers fell behind in the top of the inning but rallied with three runs in their half of the inning - the big blow a three run double by Ray.

 

On the mound, Zack Brown was cruising along with a two-hit shutout until falling apart in 6th inning. He surrendered a walk and two hits - the final hit a 3-run HR.

Corey Ray: 3-4, 2B, BB, 5 RBI, SB

Question about Corey Ray -- looking at the video in today's thread, how does his swing look? Is it a little more compact than in the past? Or am I just imagining things? Just curious what others think.

 

I'm not going to get excited about Ray - or anyone else - doing well after a handful of games. I'm thrilled he's doing well - but it's so early and the sample size is tiny.

 

Same goes for players doing poorly. Things can change very quickly this early in the year. Not going to get too worked up about 6-7 games.

[And That]

This guy. This guy is going to be a reliever for the Brewers' big league club someday, and in the not too distant future.

I've watched video of two of his extra base hits and they were badly misplayed by the outfielders. Trust me, I want him to succeed but am tempering my enthusiasm for a while.

Curious about how the Mudcats didn't score in their half of the 10th -- combination of a less-than-ideal Hiura at-bat and a tough luck line out:
