This thread will be utilized for any minor league news Friday, lineup updates, etc.

Organizational Scoreboard including starting pitcher info, game times, MiLB TV links, and box scores

[Jake McKibbin]

Tovar walks, Yophery Rodriguez with an early double and Brian Sanchez with the RBI against Dodgers Baja 32-8 team to tie the game 1-1

Rodriguez attempted to get to third on the sac fly but was tagged out, yet another out on the basepaths for the young man

Suarez has 3 K's through two innings, and bar an early Tovar fielding error would be scoreless

[Jake McKibbin]

Meanwhile Di Turi and Co are currently being mowed down by the Giants starter Ankeily Feliz, 4 strikeouts through the first two innings

[Jake McKibbin]

Only two men on base through five innings for brewers did, predictably demetrio Nadal is one of them but he was caught stealing for the fifth time this season 

[Joseph Zarr]

Awwww, man. 2-1 lead for the DSL Crew Uno and their game was suspended in the 4th. Booooo! Give em 5 so they can beat the Bautista again!

[Joseph Zarr]

The Sounds are getting RHP Taj Bradley coming off a MLB month in which he gave up 19 ER and 5 HR in 21 2/3 IP. Let's hope his confidence is shaken and LHP Robert Gasser gives us one of his late June outings. Sounds trail 2-1 in the Home series. Let's pull even.

Man, that's real real not good. I feel for those scouts. Not a pretty picture whatsoever. Ugh. The cutthroat nature of Big Business is often quite lacking in respecting the individual. And, well, that stinks.

[Playing Catch]

Black starts for Biloxi at 2B.

Speaking of Nadal:

Nice swing package here. Easy leg kick makes in swing adjustments like this first AB possible.

Wisconsin needs a win in South Bend to even their series 2-2, handing the ball to RHP Tyler Woessner (3.69 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 7.9 K/9 in 92.2 IP) for today’s start. 3B Brock Wilken is looking for his first hit in his second High-A game. 

[Joseph Zarr]

And, he's getting notoriety so let's keep sharing it here. Mr. Wes Clarke:
 

If you are wondering, according to Shuckers announcer Javik Blake, Clarke is now hitting a HR every 7.6 AB since the All Star Break. That's good for 8th best amongst all MLB and MiLB players. Sizzling!

[Ro Mueller]

The AAA Sounds also need a win at home today over Durham to even their series. LHP Robert Gasser (4.15 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 10.8 K/9 in 95.1 IP) gets the start. 1B Owen Miller joins the lineup for his first minor league action since July 2021. 

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez (2.64 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 12.0 K/9 in 85.1 IP) takes the hill to try to lead AA Biloxi to a 3-1 series lead at Pensacola. DH/C Wes Clarke’s last 13 games: 13-for-47 with 8 HRs, a double, 18 RBIs, 7 walks, 1.201 OPS in 56 PAs despite a .192 BABIP.

I’m seeing 1B on their tweet. Where did you see this?

Lineup card also states 1B. And we have the red hot Collins in LF and Valerio at 2B. 

In other words: Black at 1B continues

Is it just me, or does it look like he has a little Sheffield action in his load where he snaps his wrists and whips the barrel forward pre-swing?

[Joseph Zarr]

Brock Wilken with a nice rip to the mid left CF gap. Nice easy swing. 1-0 T-Rats. Bob Moore had walked. Took 2nd on a WP.

[Joseph Zarr]

INF Gregory Barrios was leading off and struck out to start the game. But, Guilarte hit a line drive single to right center over the leaping 2B (nice protective piece of hitting - a classic poke knock) - Guilarte then took 2B on a successful swipe. Tayden Hall and his healthy 0.407 OBP came to the dish. And, Hall took the free pass. Men on 1B and 2B. INF Luke Adams and his absurdly healthy 0.433 OBP took consecutive change-ups to fall 0-2. Guilarte swiped 3rd on a ball in front of the plate and in the dirt - blocked but Guilarte is heady.

All of this to say:

Luke Adams said: Don't throw three consecutive change-ups, Sir. He ripped a 3-run shot over the left CF wall on a change-up/breaking ball up and center. Ripped it. 3-0 Mudcats.

That's Adams' 10th long ball of his season. 45 RBI now. OPS up to 0.878. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Will Rudy escaped a 1st and 2nd mini-jam (one down - flare to CF. HBP) by getting the strikeout and then the Sibrian PO at 2B when he rifled a dart to Guilarte after a high heater and the runner leaning.

Have I mentioned how much I love Sibrian? 

[Joseph Zarr]

Two walks from Woessner here in the 2nd. Gets away with the first by inducing the routine DP - Moore to Garcia to Martinez Jr. Up 1-2 on the next batter, Woessner found himself 3-2. After a foul ball he gets the infield pop-up. 1-0 T-Rats and we head to the 3rd inning.

[Ro Mueller]

Here’s that Low-A Mudcats lineup card for anyone who needs it, as RHP Will Rudy (3.59 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 8.1 K/9 in 67.2 IP) looks to lead the squad to a 3-2 series lead in Fayetteville. Each of C Jose Sibrian and RF Jace Avina have hit safely in 9 of their last 10 games.

Pretty nice 2nd inning for Nashville off Taj Bradley: 4 runs on 2 HRs (Dorrian, Devanney), 2 doubles (Naquin, Hiura), a single and a walk. We lead 4-0!

Another Dorrian bomb (106.3 MPH 420 feet to CF) has it 5-0 Sounds.

Only thing on Gasser’s line through 3 IP is 4 K.
