Print- Louisville won 5-3 in thrilling walk-off fashion. They were down 3-0 going into the 9th inning, but on the night of his AAA debut, Devin Mesoraco was there to save the day. With the bases loaded and 1 out in a 3-1 game, Devin hit walk off grand slam to give the Bats the win, capping off a 2-for-4 debut. Chad Reineke pitched ok in his start, going 7 innings of 2 run ball, and Jerry Gil struck out the side in the 9th to earn his first AAA in his debut as well. Up next: Sam LeCure takes on Syracuse tonight at 7:05.
- Carolina got stomped by Mobile 13-5. Mike Costanzo was the team's only bright spot, clubbing his 11th homer of the year. Up next: James Avery takes the mound at 7:15.
- Lynchburg lost 4-2 to Myrtle Beach. Josh Ravin pitched well, going 4 1/3 innings and giving up 2 unearned runs with 7 strikeouts. Shane Carlson was 3-for-4 with a homer for the offense, and that was exactly half of the Hillcats' production. Up next: Justin Walker takes on MB at 7:05.
- Dayton won 4-2 at Great Lakes behind a solid pitching performance by Clayton Shunick. Shunick gave up 2 runs on 4 hits in 6 2/3 innings with 3 strikeouts for the win. Mark Fleury singled in 2 runs, and Didi Gregorius, Henry Rodriguez, Frank Pfister, and Alex Oliveras all had 2 hits. Up next: Tim Crabbe takes on Great Lakes at 7:05.
- Billings got killed by Ogden 14-4. The pitching performance was not good, but Theo Bowe and Trey Manz each had a 2-run homer for the offense. Up next: Tanner Robles will try to add another start to his recent resurgence, against Ogden at 9.
- The AZL Reds squeaked by the AZL Indians 2-1 behind this year's 5th round pick John Mugarian. He pitched 4 shutout innings with 5 strikeouts in his start, and El'Hajj Muhammad and Nathan Driessen both gave up no earned runs in 3 and 2 innings of work respectively. Kyle Waldrop and David Vidal both had multi-hit games. Up next: Off day today.

How do you pronounce Devin's last name?
I’ve heard it pronounced mess-OR-ah-ko and mess-or-AH-ko (during the game last night, Welsh used the latter pronounciation).
I need to know this, since he is going to win the ROY and MVP next year, and catch the final strike of the World Series (after hitting a grand slam to give the Reds a 4-3 lead).
I wonder if there’s a college study that shows how exposing my generation to Three’s Company set gender relations back approximately 715 years

It's mess-or-AH-ko
Way to be prepared!

isn't Mesoraco a mythological figure?

Couldn't find any video
at the Bats’ site. I know that the Bulls are able to put up some video belatedly. Anyone know how L’ville does it?
You may outfit the Trolley.
Something looks weird in this post... Let's see...
Ah, there it is… “Dayton won.”

Devin Mesoraco tells highlifeman to piss off
It’s weird that pretty much all the prospects I’m excited about are on two teams. Also weird that those two teams are rookie ball and AAA.

yeah, since sappelt was moved up especially
but that AAA team is pretty friggin loaded. Probably time to trade some of them if they’re not gonna stick on the big club, though.
With Matt Maloney on the mound...
The Bats might have a better squad than the Pittsburgh Pirates.
C – Mesoraco vs Ryan Doumit
1b – Yonder vs Garrett Jones
2b – Valaika vs Neil Walker
ss – Cozart vs Ronny Cedeno
3b – END vs Pedro Alvarez
lf – Wlad vs Jose Tabata
cf – Sappelt vs Andrew McCutcheon
rf – Frazier vs Lastings Milledge
I think the Bats are better at C, 1B, SS, and LF. Maloney is at least as good as Ross Ohlendorf or Paul Maholm, plus the Bats have Chapman as their closer.
I think it is time for MLB to introduce the concept of “relegation”. Louisville deserves a big-league club.

Dunno about LF. Tabata is going to be pretty good
Still, it would definitely be a competitive series.
Also, I truly feel bad for Pirates fans

Grandal who?!?!
It’s funny, Devin actually called me last night at the house. I didn’t recognize the name at first.
DM: “Hi, is Mr. Highlifeman21 available?”
HLM21: “Speaking”
DM: “Hi, my name’s Devin Mesoraco, I’m sure you’ve heard of me. Did you see the game I had tonight?”
HLM21: “I’m sorry, Devin who?”
DM: “Mesoraco. M-e-s-o-r-a-c-o”
HLM21: “Oh yeah, I recognize the name now. nycredsfan’s been telling me all about you!”

Is it ok if I work in some material using the term " 'Raco's modern life?"

not only is it ok
but it is highly encouraged.

We Syracuse fans would like to wave the white flag.
That’s 3 straight you’ve taken over the Chiefs and now Mesoraco grand slams in two consecutive games. I did not know who the man was or his lightning progress through the system until yesterday. I am now officially a believer.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
Yesterday was his first game in AAA
He’s picking it up pretty quickly I think
