Hopefully just getting a blow.

Luis Pena stole two more bases today, giving him 39, to go with 36 RBI in 43 games. For someone to be just a little under one per game in those two stats---I mean, a video game featuring something like that would be panned for being too unrealistic.

These DSL write-ups will appear as is in Saturday AM's Link Report:

Final: DSL Red Sox Blue 7, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 6
Box Score and Game Log

Team Uno trailed 7-0 heading to the bottom of the 5th. Scoring two in the 5th and then four runs in the 8th, Thanks to a stellar scoreless four-inning relief outing by soon-to-be 19-year-old Dominican RHP Wenderlyn King, the Cerveceros Prime were able to close that gap to just one run. Unfortunately, the Crew went very quietly 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 9th.

King has been awesome, in nine games (five starts), he's at 33.2 IP, 37 K, 4 BB (7 HBP), 2.94 ERA, 1.14 WHIP.

Six successful SB attempts in seven tries, shortstop Luis Pena now 39-of-43 on the basepaths. Pena was oddly removed from defense mid-inning in the top of the 8th, something to monitor.

All eight Brewers knocks were singles, they also drew eight walks and were plunked four times, 

The organization will be hard-pressed to backfill the position player upper echelon of this top-heavy Team Uno club once the core four-or-five players eventually graduate. A review of the bench players and those lower in the lineup today reveals slim pickings. 

Hopefully just a normal rest day for mega-prospect Jesus Made.

Now at 29-16, the boys are even with DSL Orioles Orange in the loss column, but trail by 1.5 games due to three less games played.

Final: DSL Red Sox Red 5, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 4
Box Score and Game Log

Team Dos drops to 24-21 and fell similarly to their island sibling, down by a 5-2 score through six innings, and then coming up a bit short in the comeback effort. With the tying run on second base with one out in the 9th, the final two Brewer bats lined out to LF.

Power drought? Combining with the report above, all 21 DSL knocks were of the single-base variety, amazing. Thirteen singles for Brewers #2 here.

Every Cervecero had at least one base hit except for second baseman Kevin Ereu, who was HBP'd. 

INF/OF Roderick Flores is still just 17 years old despite being in his 2nd DSL campaign. He turns 18 later this month. In 119 2024 plate appearances, he's posted a strong .267/.462/.372 line (.834 OPS), though the K rate is high.

17-year-old Venezuelan catcher Yoneiker Lugo has only played in 18 games, but his three hits in this one lifted his OPS to .780.

One could make the case that the Team #2 lineup is more balanced than the star-laden more win-heavy club at the complex.

17-year-old southpaw Enderson Mercado had been outstanding in his three prior outings, but allowed five runs in five innings on eight hits, and unlike the Brewers, the Red Sox bats plated a cycle vs. Mercado on the XBH front.

Low-A Carolina was rained out at Fredericksburg last night, so the squads play the third game of their series tonight. RHP Josh Knoth (4.37 ERA in 70 IP) gets his last start before turning 19. SS Daniel Guilarte is 16-for-35 during his 9-game hitting streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

High-A Wisconsin has dropped 3 consecutive games at Quad Cities and looks to RHP Will Rudy (4.86 ERA in 83.1 IP) to turn things around tonight. 3B Jadher Areinamo leads the Midwest League in doubles (26) and is second in hits (105). 

[Ro Mueller]

Welcome to AAA ball, 22-year old RHP Logan Henderson (3.30 ERA in 46.1 AA IP)! Nashville aims for a 3-1 home series lead over Indianapolis. RF Carlos D. Rodriguez gets his first turn atop the Sounds’ lineup. 

[Ro Mueller]

It’s also time for the LHP Tate Kuehner show (his second start in AA ball), as Biloxi needs a win at Montgomery to even the series 2-2. 2B Dylan O’Rae has hit safely in 8 of his last 9 games.

I'm really tired of the Mudcats facing Sykora. This dude just owns us.

Oh Joey we missed you for awhile…….welcome back young man

[sveumrules]

Shuckers picked up the lone run of the game so far top of two on a Lamar Sparks double, Ethan Murray HBP, Casey Martin single sequence.

Tate Kuehner has gone four scoreless with 1 H | 3 BB | 8 K so far.

[wiguy94]

What is with Brewers rehab pitchers getting hit by comebackers and injured in AAA. JB Bukauskas plagged tonight. 

Yoho with his AAA debut today. Statcast kept mixing up his changeup as a curveball

[sveumrules]

Wisco leading 6 to 4 bottom of four with Will Rudy trying to work out of a two on one out jam.

Cooper Pratt with a single, double and run scored so far while Felix Valerio has walked twice, stolen a bag, and both scored & “driven” in a run. 

Jesus Chirinos also has one each in the hit, walk, run scored and RBI columns.

[sveumrules]

If I mention the Mudcats have gone twenty one up twenty one down on the internet they’ll stop doing that, right?

Anthony Flores has thrown two more scoreless hitless frames with 1 BB | 2 K while Brailin Rodriguez also went 1.1 scoreless hitless with 1 BB | 3 K.

[sveumrules]

Filippo Di Turi leadoff walk, perfect game averted.

Now for that hit…

[sveumrules]

Rob Z with a 27 pitch rehab inning. Worked around a single and two walks to put up a zero (1 K).

[sveumrules]

Biloxi went blue dot city top of five with a Mike Boeve single, Darrien Miller HBP and Connor Scott walk loading em up for the Lamar Sparks grand slam.

5 to 0 Shuckers through five with Kuehner up to 10 K now.

[wiguy94]

Tate Kuehner with one heck of a second AA start. 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 10 SO. 15 whiffs.

Yoho's Statcast data is as hilarious as advertised.

Can we come up with a cool nickname for his changeup before he comes up. 

The Air-Ender, The Yoho Yoyo, Yoho-no-go

The Plank Walker? Because it falls off suddenly? And his name is Yoho kind of like what a pirate says about his bottle of rum?

Skipped the hit and went straight for the run top of nine.

Miguel Briceno walked, went to second on an error, then to third on a Yophery fielder’s choice, then home on a wild pitch.

Juan Baez has subsequently walked bringing Bitont to the dish with two outs to go.

[wiguy94]

Well the Mudcats got no hit. They scored a run at least!
