Has there been any news on any of our draft picks moving up to Carolina? I get that most of the better college players still spend a week or so in Arizona getting acclimated so maybe later in the week???

In the link report for yesterday’s games there were twitter feeds of Payne and Burke getting hits in the ACL - the unofficial games.  I imagine a few weeks of playing and maybe Burke goes to Carolina and up to Wisconsin maybe. Not sure who else will play right away as pitchers usually rest and work on things the first summer. Maybe a Molina, Holobets, DeBerry or Welch will pitch a few innings. Dinges as someone pointed out could work on catching at the complex or he could be a DH for a few games in Carolina.

Our only few position players get acclimated to the system and field, while pitchers are building blocks with short bullpens. The Philosophy and strategies need to be understood prior to any deployment. College experienced players should fill any holes leading up to the next couple weeks. HS players should remain and not rushed.

Welcome to Brewer Fanatic!

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Alexander Cornielle aims to rebound from his disastrous Tuesday start and help High-A Wisconsin forge a 3-3 home series tie against South Bend. Jadher Areinamo is back in the field after DHing Friday. 

[Ro Mueller]

Carolina and Charleston resumed yesterday’s rain-delayed game with the Mudcats trailing 2-1 with 2 outs and nobody on in the bottom of the 4th inning.

Facing a new pitcher, Juan Baez greeted him with a double, the first of 6 consecutive batters to reach base in that same 4th inning. 4-2 Mudcats at that point.

RHP Ryan Birchard (3rd appearance for Carolina) took the mound to start the 5th inning.

[Ro Mueller]

22-year old RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez makes his 2nd start of the week at Gwinnett (4 scoreless innings on Tuesday), with AAA Nashville needing a victory to split the series 3-3. 1B Tyler Black has an .853 OPS in his last 100 PAs.

[sveumrules]

A Patrick Dorrian single and Francisco Mejia bomb has Nashville first on the board with a pair of runs top of two.

[sveumrules]

Mudcats picked up for runs bottom of six via Luis Castillo walk, Daniel Guilarte single, Reece Walling walk, David Garcia fielder’s choice, Yhoswar Garcia sac fly and Yophery Rodriguez single.

Then added two more bottom of eight with a David Garcia walk, Yophery Rodriguez single, Josh Adamczewski walk and Juan Baez double.

Dikember Sanchez pitched a one two three ninth (1 K) to close out the 10 to 5 Carolina win.

[Ro Mueller]

The Low-A Mudcats won the first game of the day for a 3-2 home series lead over Charleston, so can now clinch a series win in tonight’s 7-inning contest. 

 

[sveumrules]

Alexander Cornielle surrendered a two run homer top of one but the TRats got one back in the bottom half with a Cooper Pratt HBP, Jadher Areinamo ground rule double and Tayden Hall sac fly.

And then Pratt left the game. Crap!

[sveumrules]

A Patrick Dorrian sac fly gets Nashville back in the lead 3 to 2 top of six.

Carlos Rodriguez put in 5 IP of 2 ER | 4 H | 3 BB | 6 K work with Kevin Herget taking the mound bottom of six.

Bummer. Looks like he stayed in to run the bases at least, so hopefully it’s just precautionary and nothing too serious. 

[biedergb]

Wow. Cornielle was looking so good for a stretch. But his last start and this one are forgettable.

Meanwhile CRod the pitcher with a solid but not spectacular start based on his pitching line.

Muddies roll in the completion of yesterday’s game. Newly promoted B. Rivera gives up a run in 2IP.

[sveumrules]

Herget puts up his ninth zero in a row, now at 10.2 IP | 0 ER | 3 H | 5 BB | 16 K since June 30th.

[sveumrules]

Chris Roller single, Tyler Black walk and a Brewer Hicklen single has the Sounds up 4 to 2 top of seven.

[sveumrules]

Luis Lara walked. Felix Valerio singled and Eduardo Garcia homered to pull the TRats within 5 to 4 bottom three.

But alas, Cornielle is back out top of four and has already given one run back.

Spoke a little too soon.

Herget came out for a second frame, gave up a lead off single, then was pulled for Tyler Jay with the inherited runner coming around to score via throwing error by Mejia on an attempted steal of third.

[sveumrules]

A trio of singles from Patrick Dorrian, Francisco Mejia and Isaac Collins, plus a throwing error by the Stripers RF, equals two more Nashville runs.

Now up 6 to 3 bottom eight.

[sveumrules]

Bryan Hudson with a scoreless eighth inning (1 BB | 1 K).

Four seamer was 88.6 to 92.1 MPH per GameDay.

[sveumrules]

Josh Timmerman with four hitless innings (2 K) but a pair of walks, a wild pitch and a double steal got Charleston a run top of three.

Juan Baez, Miguel Briceno and Satchell Norman have each singled through the first three frames.

[sveumrules]

& Luis Castillo goes deep for the 15th time this year to tie things up at one each in Carolina bottom four.

[Joseph Zarr]

Man that Cornielle feel good story fell back to Earth fast. Really hoping he isn't playing through injury and this is just a lull. His pitches have really flattened out over the past two outings - very little movement of any kind. Lots of prolonged 'sitting there' look and results.
