Big League Spring Games - Farmhands Invited

[Jim Goulart]

Friday 3/21 Gameday vs AZ:

MINOR DETAILS: Over from Minor League camp: INF Luiyin Alastre (0), INF Filippo Di Turi (94), INF Eduardo García (88), OF Brewer Hicklen (28), OF Luis Lara (89), C Darrien Miller (90), INF Tyler Rodríguez (92), C Yannic Walther (93), INF Zavier Warren (97), RHP Grant Anderson (56), RHP Kaleb Bowman (57), LHP Brian Fitzpatrick (99), RHP Nick Merkel (75), RHP Bayden Root (84), RHP Garrett Stallings (68) and RHP Craig Yoho (91).

Garcia entered early when Joey Ortiz had a need to excuse himself.

Yoho was hittable (when contact was made), Anderson's tough spring continues, Merkel did himself proud again, now unscored upon in five spring appearances.

Although he didn't pitch, this was LHP Brian Fitzpatrick's first day this spring in the big-league bullpen.

Appears this was the first day in camp for LHP Nate Peterson and RHP Dikember Sánchez, along with INF Luis Lameda, who grounded out as a pinch-hitter in the 9th.

Chad Patrick did not hurt his cause for the early 5th starter spot, he now has a 10-to-1 K-to-BB in 8.1 IP this spring. Unfortunately, that one walk led off the fateful 9th here.

Good thing Sunday is a "camp day" on the minor league side, because a big-league split squad will have farmhands all over the fields in Maryvale and Peoria.

Sunday 3/23 Gameday at SEA:

MINOR DETAILS: Over from Minor League camp: INF Jadher Areinamo (92), INF Johan Barrios (60), INF Blake Burke (73), INF Wes Clarke (97), C Blayberg Díaz (80), C Marco Dinges (28), INF Caleb Durbin (63), OF Yhoswar García (90), INF Daniel Guilarte (0), OF Luis Lara (89), INF Andruw Monasterio (14), INF/OF Demetrio Nadal (88), OF Bladimir Restituyo (98), OF Jheremy Vargas (56), INF Zavier Warren (96), C Matt Wood (99), RHP Kaleb Bowman (58), RHP Miles Langhorne (68), RHP Jesús Liranzo (84), RHP Aidan Maldonado (91), RHP Evan McKendry (66), RHP Yerlin Rodríguez (93), RHP Aaron Rund (61), RHP Jack Seppings (85), RHP Garrett Stallings (75) and RHP Justin Yeager (57).

This was a live MLB Network Game, and no current big-league camp position-player Brewers made the trip. I was able to watch (thanks, DVR), and until an unfortunate Evan McKendry outing in the 8th, this Crew was beating up on Seattle's Opening Day lineup.

Monday 3/24 Gameday at COL:

MINOR DETAILS: Over from Minor League camp: INF Luiyin Alastre (0), OF José Anderson (98), INF Eric Bitonti (96), INF Eric Brown Jr. (92), OF Luis Castillo (93), C Eric Martínez (94), C Edgardo Ordoñez (89), INF Cooper Pratt (87), C Ramón Rodríguez (82), INF Tyler Rodríguez (88), OF Yophery Rodríguez (90), INF Zavier Warren (97), RHP Tyler Bryant (66), RHP Will Childers (99), RHP Stiven Cruz (58), RHP Aidan Maldonado (91), LHP Mark Manfredi (68), RHP Yerlin Rodríguez (57) and RHP Jack Seppings (95)

This was a Brewers webcast with Lane Grindle and Josh Maurer. They did a nice job with the youngsters and found time to heap praise on Luiyin Alastre's game (after impressively mastering his name), Eric Bitonti, and Tyler Bryant, who was pumping 97-98 in his two hitless innings. There were two HBP's in the 9th that seemed to rattle him, but Chris Hook guided him to the save.

VIDEO: José Anderson hits a two-run single to left field to give the Brewers the lead with a score of 4-2 in the top of the 7th inning Monday
