Biloxi Shuckers 2021 Game Notes Biloxi Shuckers 2021 Game Notes Double-A Affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers MGM Park, 105 Caillavet St, Biloxi, MS 39530 Contact - Garrett Greene Cell: (817) 937-9572 Home Games can be heard on WGCM 1240-AM, FM 100.9 FM Streak: L2 Last 5: 0-2 Last 10: 0-2 Home Record: 0-0 Road Record: 0-2 Biloxi Shuckers (0-2) @ Birmingham Barons (2-0) RHP Bowden Francis (NR) @ RHP Kade McClure (NR) Thursday, May 6 ● 7:05 P.M. ● Regions Field ● Birmingham, AL ● Game #3 / Road Game #3 Last Time Out: Biloxi fell in both games of their doubleheader to Birmingham, 6-1 and 2-1... Biloxi outhit Birmingham 8-5 in Game 1 and was tied with the Barons at 1-1 in the bottom of the 6th when Xavier Fernandez hit a solo home run to give the Barons the lead. At the Plate: Good Eye: Even after joining the Shuckers for the final 24 games of 2019, INF/OF Ryan Aguilar still led the Carolina League in on-base percentage (.403) and was second in walks (70)... meanwhile Brice Turang drew 83 walks between Wisconsin and Carolina in 2019, leading the Brewers’ organization (2nd - Aguilar (78), 3rd - Hummel (62)). Welcome To Double-A: Six of the Shuckers 13 position players bypassed High-A on their way to Biloxi (Cabrera, Castillo, Devanney, Fry, Garcia, Lujano) That Bat Dies A Hero: Tristen Lutz went 2-for-2 in his first two plate appearances on Wednesday with a pair of broken bat singles, one to right field and one to left field. Twice is Nice: Both Payton Henry and Lutz recorded a pair of singles in their first two at-bats with the Shuckers on ednesdayW night. The Single Life: The Shuckers recorded 12 hits across the two games of their Opening Night doubleheader, all of them singles. On the Mound: The Twist of Fate: In his Double-A debut, RHP Matt Hardy struck out the first seven batters that he faced. Overall, Hardy went 3.1 scoreless innings, surrendering just a walk in his first outing with the Shuckers. In the Magnolia State Again: Shuckers’ LHP Ethan Small is back pitching Mississippi in 2021... The 28th overall pick in the 2019 draft pitched for three seasons at Dudy Noble Field for the Mississippi State Bulldogs (2016, 2018, 2019) and was named the SEC Pitcher of the Year in 2019. Two-Way Player: Lucas Erceg returns to the Shuckers after spending the entire 2018 season in Biloxi at third base... Erceg will play the field but will also serve as a right-handed reliever out of the bullpen... The Shuckers have had a two-way player on the roster in each of the last four season (Nick Ramirez: 1B/LHP - 2017 & 2018, Clayton Andrews: LHP/OF - 2019) What’s Shuckin: Opening Night: Biloxi is now 5-3 on Opening Night in franchise history... The Shuckers swept a doubleheader against the Barons on Opening Night on 4/5/19, winning Game 1 5-3 and Game 2 5-0 before dropping their doubleheader against Birmingham on Wednesday 6-1, 2-1. New League, Old Friends: With the reorganization of Minor League Baseball, the Shuckers now play in the South Division of the Double-A South... they are joined in the South Division by the Mississippi Braves (Atlanta), Pensacola Blue Wahoos (Miami) and Montgomery Biscuits (Tampa Bay)... The North Division is comprised of the Birmingham Barons (Chicago -AL), the Chattanooga Lookouts (Cincinnati), the Tennessee Smokies (Chicago - NL) and the new addition to the league, the Rocket City Trash Pandas (Los Angeles - AL)... Gone from the league are the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (now Triple-A Miami) and Jackson Generals. #ShuckersInTheShow: Nine players from the 2019 Biloxi Shuckers have made their Major League debut: Alec Bettinger (Brewers), Mario Feliciano (Brewers), Trent Grisham (Brewers), Angel Perdomo (Brewers), Cody Ponce (Pirates), Drew Rasmussen (Brewers), Corey Ray (Brewers), Justin Topa (Brewers), and Devin Williams (Brewers)...

The new partnership will bring some of the most exciting prospects in the game to Blue Wahoos Stadium alongside the storied legacy of Twins baseball. Twins history began in 1961 when Washington Senators president Calvin Griffith made the historic decision to move his family’s team to the Midwest, settling on the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in Minnesota. The new team was named after the state’s famous Twin Cities and began their inaugual season with a talented roster featuring Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison, Camilo Pascual, and Jim Lemon. Homegrown talents Jim Kaat, Zoilo Versalles, Jimmie Hall, and Tony Oliva combined with the Twins already potent nucleus to make the team a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s.

  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS –May 19, 2018 Desmond, Blackmon homer as Rox stifle SF Thomas Harding / MLB.com | May 18, 2018 SAN FRANCISCO -- On Friday night, Rockies first baseman Ian Desmond turned the clock back 12 days -- most of which were dark, offensively. Desmond launched a three-run homer in the fourth inning and an RBI double in the sixth, and Kyle Freeland went 6 2/3 innings for his fifth straight quality start, as the Rockies beat the Giants, 6-1, at AT&T Park. On May 6, Desmond homered twice during a 4-2 road victory over the Mets. From then until his first at-bat Friday -- a fielder's-choice grounder that led to Trevor Story being thrown out at the plate in the second -- Desmond was 3-for-34 with 13 strikeouts and two walks. With no true first-base alternative, all the booing and all the social posts couldn't excise him from manager Bud Black's lineup. But with two swings, Desmond helped the Rockies improve to 3-1 on this road trip. "It's something that we've seen, but not consistently from at-bat to at-bat, game to game," Black said. "But when he got hold of the fastball, his contact point was out front, resulted in a homer. The double, same thing." It was more than a guy shaking off a slump for a night. The Rockies pulled to a half-game behind the slumping D-backs, who fell for the eighth time in the last nine games Friday (3-1 to the Mets), but nonetheless lead a National League West that is waiting for a team to surge.
