When in the world is Gray going to get the promotion up to Appleton. He just continues to have an unreal season.

Chiefs Put Out Rattlers Fire Late

By Chris Mehring

 

Not sure I've ever caught this before, but it must have happened. 18 position players saw action, every player on both sides had at least one hit.

Padding your own numbers in a 13-1 9th, that's OK, Tim Lopes, it's baseball

Mudcats Win Fourth Straight 8-4 in Kinston

Zavier Warren and Joey Wiemer both hit home runs in Carolina’s 8-4 series opening victory

Joe Gray Jr., Zavier Warren and Joey Wiemer all on base four times.

 

Abner Uribe (three scoreless for the save) still pumping triple-digit heat, we imagine.

 

Doubleheader Friday.

Quick Timber Rattler schedule note:

 

Game ruled suspended: Upon further review by Major League Baseball, last Sunday’s game between the Quad Cities River Bandits and the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers has been updated from postponed to suspended and will be continued on Aug. 24 at 4 p.m. at Modern Woodmen Park.

 

The suspended game will pick up with one out in the bottom of the first inning with Quad Cities at the plate. The game originally scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 24 will be shortened to seven innings and played following the conclusion of the nine-inning suspended game.

Zavier Warren has really been destroying the baseball since coming back from injury. I wonder if the org will let him ditch catching and develop at 3B. Clear skies for him to get promoted as we really don't have a 3B prospect blocking him at Wisconsin.

 

His May vs. June splits are pretty crazy but look at this tiny sample for the season of C vs. his other positions.

 

C 7 G .603 OPS .323 OBP .280 SLG BB 12.9% K 35.5%

1B/3B/DH 13 G 1.122 OPS .414 OBP .708 SLG BB 15.5% K 15.5%

 

Tiny sample just found it interesting, can't be easy trying to catch in the minors after not doing it much in college. I also understand the value of finding out if he can do it or not as we value up the middle prospects greatly.
