This is probably the first time in Brewerfan’s history that the DSL teams are what everyone is looking at first.

Pitcher's duel breaking out in the DSL Civil War today. Scoreless through 3 innings.

[duewizard]

DSL Uno vs Dos today. Top of the 4th and pitching has been stellar. Cristopher Peralta of the Dos has 3 strikeouts in 3 innings, plus two hits and a walk. Victor García, the Mexican lefty of the Uno is through 3 with 4 strikeouts and a walk, yet to give up a hit.

[wiguy94]

DSL Brewers 2 with the 1-0 lead through 4 innings despite not yet recording a hit.

Cue the 19 game Home Win streak in 3...2...1

In absolutely all seriousness:

Thank the Baseball Gods for this update. This first half of Home game viewing at Biloxi has been nearly entirely unwatchable. Let the healing begin!

[Joseph Zarr]

Luis Pena grabbed his 16th SB off the Dos' Corobo. Would have loved to have seen that entire steal attempt.

This means no more high zoomed out view????!!!!

The 2024 campaign has been a struggle for RHP Will Rudy (6.31 ERA in 41.1 IP). He looks to turn it around and lead High-A Wisconsin to a 3-1 series lead at West Michigan. Despite a .233 AVG, 3B Luke Adams has the 4th-highest OBP (.421) in the 12-team Midwest League.

RHP Evan McKendry has been steadily ramping up since an April injury, hitting 65 pitches last outing (4 IP, 0 R, 6 Ks). He starts for AAA Nashville tonight, who need a win to even their series in Gwinnett. 3B Owen Miller’s last 4 games: 7-for-15 with 2 HR, 3 doubles, 5 walks, 6 RBIs. 

[Ro Mueller]

19-year old RHP Bishop Letson (3.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 10.6 K/9 in 29 IP) and Low-A Carolina look to get back to winning after a minor hiccup yesterday. They lead their home series against Fredericksburg 2-1 and 2nd place Down East by 4.5 games. SS Cooper Pratt’s on-base streak is 22 games. 

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Bradley Blalock (3.83 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 7.7 K/9 in 47 IP) and AA Biloxi will try to make it back-to-back home wins over Tennessee, this time against old friend Trey Supak. 3B Mike Boeve (.297) and CF Carlos D. Rodriguez (.294) are 4th and 8th in the 8-team Southern League in AVG (min. 126 PAs).

[Ro Mueller]

Yhoswar Garcia singles home Filippo Di Turi (singled) and Cooper Pratt (walked) in the 1st, which is 2 more runs that Carolina scored yesterday. Go Mudcats!

[Ro Mueller]

Bad 2nd inning for Letson, unfortunately. 4 runs have come across thus far.

[Joseph Zarr]

McKendry is coming off his best outing of 2024.

He is in the midst of a Gwinnett 7-run 2nd inning...possibly more coming.

[brewmann04]

Ugly night all around 

[Ro Mueller]

Woke up to bad box scores everywhere. Jeez. At least Will Rudy had his best game in some time (1 single, 1 HBP in 5 IP) and Enniel Cortez did okay.

Does anyone know why Eric Brown Jr. was pulled to start the 3rd inning?

Gut check time for Carolina and Wisconsin, who both lead by 3.5 games.

I thought I'd take a peek around the league to see if any DSL players have been promoted stateside over the past week:

• Yes, 7 DSL players have been promoted stateside over the past week (2 Phillies, 1 Met, 1 Guardian, 1 Padre, 1 Red, 1 Marlin), but they were all 2021-2023 signings. 6 of them played in the DSL in prior years and the 7th was injured for several seasons and is already 21 years old

Amongst the DSL ranks, other than any presently-injured older players returning, I assume these are our only in-season promotion candidates:

• RHP Joshua Quezada (20) - K'd 6 of 18 batters faced; 2 BB, 1 HBP, 1 single, 1 GIDP
• RHP Wenderlyn King (18) - K'd 16 of 36 batters faced; 0 BB, 3 HBP, 5 singles, 1 double
• LHP Jesus Broca (20) - K'd 9 of 16 batters faced; 1 BB, 0 HBP, 4 singles, 1 double, 1 triple
• RHP Jesus Flores (19) - K'd 9 of 19 batters faced; 2 BB, 0 HBP, 2 singles, 1 double
• INF Kevin Ereu (18) - 1.000 OPS in 27 PAs with 8 BB / 3K - signed for $1.4m last year and presently sits 2 levels below fellow mega-signers Yophery and Filippo
• Almost any catcher to support ACL depth - e.g. C Freider Rojas (18), C Ludwin Tejada (18), Kegnnalex Seijas (18), Luis Garcia (19)

Of course, we may see a dozen players move stateside unofficially once the formal ACL season concludes (last scheduled game July 25; then playoffs July 27-30) and they shift to the informal Extended Summer League.

Finally, if we’re to promote SS Luis Pena and/or CF Jose Anderson, they’d immediately become the youngest stateside player(s) in the minors, which is presently SS Angel Arredondo of the Rangers.
