Sounds Off

The only fireworks generated by the Nashville Sounds organization on Saturday night were after the game during the fireworks show for Labor Day.

The Round Rock Express rolled over the Sounds 14 to 3, all of the Round Rock runs coming in the never-ending 2nd and 3rd innings, with 7 runs per inning.

One of the highlights for me was watching a true junk man take the mound for the Sounds in the 2nd inning. Jared Fernandez is a knuckleballer and after the disaster of the 3rd inning he seemed to baffle the Round Rock batters with many off-speed and full floater pitches that had batters swinging about 8 feet before the ball got near them, or golfing in the dirt for a pitch that they knew better than to swing at.

Kudos must also go out to Sounds catcher J.C.Boscan for handling all the garbage that Fernandez tossed up all night.
