Thank you @Ro Mueller for taking the honor of the full Opening Night report tonight, covering for me as I will be up early on Saturday AM as my buddies and I kick off a 40th (yes, 40th) year of drafting for our Rotisserie Baseball League - yes, we normally draft a full week into the season.

Looking forward to the takes on four fronts. Take a nap today, sir!

I have to say that week of just one affiliate is such a wonderful pre-amble. This month of four affiliates is also sublime. Once the DSL and ACL knocks commence it is utter madness.😅

Congrats, Spencer! You finally get your own official segment. Big time. Well deserved.

I'll be in Zebulon tonight for the Mudcats opener! I will be posting a update when I make it to the ballpark

[CheeseheadInQC]

Assuming they are doing it again at least to start the season, I wonder who Hosterler’s tandem partner will be.

Enjoy. Hope it creates a lasting and memorable experience. You are privileged, in the early going of the season at least, to be watching the meat of the up-and-coming Brewers youth movement down in Zebulon. A very very fitting send off roster. The potency of Payne, Pena, Made, Adamczewski, Bitonti and Dinges can not be overstated. Throw in the return of one hungry Kay-lan Nicasia...you 'should' get some fireworks throughout this first month.

Not sure if I will be home in time to head over to catch the TRats opener but I'm going to try. Chourio jersey giveaway on Sunday so a few of us are trying to make that game as well.

Gimme gimme that Hostetler---->Wande Torres pitch buffet. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Alright, gents. Bring me some victories tonight. I have to get my farm chores completed before I hand my daughter to my Mom (visiting the farm) and head to an Air BnB excursion with my wife. I'll be checking in on this thread later this evening to see all the goings ons. Here's hoping for that coveted and often elusive 5-0 organizational evening!

I will enjoy! Going to miss going to these games. I will try to post a picture from tonight's matchup vs the FredNats!

Full Slate O' Games? Lawd Have Mercy.

Little Luis Pena love in the FanGraphs chat today...

TooDamnTall: What’s your take on Brewer’s Luis Pena. Is the bat going to be too light?

Eric A Longenhagen: No, he’s good. Wanna see it for like two weeks at Carolina as I work the Brewers list before putting him on the hondo right around Jefferson Rojas or so.

I also enjoyed how matchups he is watching was just Carolina vs. whoever. Didn’t matter who they were playing, this is the low-A team to watch.

The most exciting day of the minor league season! Can't wait!

24-year old LHP Tate Kuehner and Biloxi open their season with a 3-game series at Marlins’ affiliate Pensacola, with 20-year olds CF Luis Lara and 1B Luke Adams making their AA debuts!:

27-year old RHP Evan McKendry makes his 2025 debut for AAA Nashville as they aim to even their series 2-2 at Gwinnett, facing off against Spencer Strider in his 2nd rehab start. 3B Caleb Durbin (.818 OPS) and SS Ray Delgado (.812 OPS) pace the team offensively.
