I doubt anyone has pitchers as young as ours. Think every game has been started by teenagers so far.

Yup, 21.2 avg age for the Brewers pitchers is tied with HOU for youngest in Carolina League.

Eduardo Garcia legitimately just had the best AB I've seen him have as a Brewer. A 9 pitch 3-2 bloop 2-out RBI single. Glorious. Laid off a 2-2 inside low slider. Fouled one off. Blooped one in there. Just so great to see.

[Joseph Zarr]

Tobes saw two walks to open his frame in the third. Double steal barely succeeds at 3B (bang-bang - just safe). He gets the shallow fly out to RF. Runners stay. He gets the shallow pop out to 2B. Line out to RF. Zero runs.

THis night of Brewers Minor League baseball keeps on giving. 

With Mendoza clearly running out of gas approaching 80 pitches in the fourth he had two runners aboard and one down. Jheremy Vargas just charged and scooped a line drive single into shallow LF and threw the runner out at home with a really nice piece of work by Darrien Miller to go up line and corral the ball and reach back and tag the runner at home. Beautiful assist. 

[Joseph Zarr]

RHP Tyson Hardin year 2 is an absolute problem. Jeeeeze this is an entirely new pitcher and it is glorious.

[Joseph Zarr]

Sounds match the Redbirds and strand two on with nobody out in their own half of the third frame. Yuck. EMJ force out to 2B nabbed Monasterio at Home leaving on contact. Alfaro struck out. Herron grounded out to 2B. 2-0 Sounds on to the 4th.

[Joseph Zarr]

Cooper Pratt oppo Solo Jack baby! Let's GO! 4-0 Shuckers.

[Joseph Zarr]

That was a 102 mph poke by Pratt just over the Right CF porch. Lofty launch on that bugger.

[Joseph Zarr]

Tobias Myers has a successful healthy 45 pitch 3/13 scoreless rehab outing. Positive step. He didn't fully unleash but he was touching 94 mph and looked healthy. You love to see it. LHP Tyler Jay will likely come on in relief. 

[Joseph Zarr]

C Matt Wood looks fantastic tonight. Just poked an oppo single down the LF line. Really nice piece of hitting. Managing a great game. Had a ripped double earlier. Hard to see a better version.

[Joseph Zarr]

Zavi Warren two-run bomb over the RF wall and maybe out of the stadium at 365'. That looked massive. It was a 97 mph poke. LOL. Whatever. That was awesome. Three long balls. Three separate batters. Three different pitchers. 6-0 Shuckers.

Bottom of the 5th. RHP Tyson Hardin is protecting a 2-0 lead. He rips a gorgeous full count dipping slider for his 4th K. He has a single base-runner of the free pass variety. You know what that means. I am not going to touch anything more. 

AND we get an Areinamo-to-Burke web gem out for out 2. Guilarte tracks down a shallow bloop to get out 3. Still working with a walk folks. He will likely come out for the 6th. Pitch count very manageable. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Guilarte is playing solid D at 2B. He just grabbed his second poke with a two out shallow liner to CF. Love to see it. Well done, Daniel.

[Joseph Zarr]

HEDBERT!!!! 107 mph nuke into the Mississippi. 4-0 and two two out insurance runs baby!!!

[Joseph Zarr]

What. A. NIGHT!

[Joseph Zarr]

'Big Mammoth' (RHP Nick Merkel) works around two on and no out and gets out clean. Epic. 6-0 Shuckers. Really nice play on an inning-ending weak dribbler to SS where Pratt worked fast to grab the speedy former Brewer Cargo Rodriguez. 

[Joseph Zarr]

EMJ works a 2-2 count for a bloooooop parachute no-man's-land double scoring Monasterio and Durbin. That's a 4-0 Sounds lead. Let's GO! Love that type of absolute seeing-eye luck. Bahahahaha.

[Joseph Zarr]

Rund has come on in relief of Hardin and he walks the first batter on four pitches. He has worked his way back to a 3-2 count facing batter 2. He just misses (or doesn't get the call) on an upper corner two-seamer. Two men on. Nobody down. T-Rats lead 4-0. Mound visit.

[Joseph Zarr]

Rund escapes unscathed and with no more base traffic of any kind. We head to the 7th T-Rats lead 4-0.

[snoogans8056]

Any updates on Made?

Some of these Carolina kids will be promoted by the time he gets back at this rate.

[Joseph Zarr]

The No No at Quad Cities is over. RHP Aaron Rund concedes a one down single to shallow CF. Not the sharpest outing for Rund all in all. Estevez appears to be going to lefty Brian Fitzpatrick. T-Rats still lead 4-0. One down. Bottom of the 7th.

Only thing we know is it is an ankle injury not thought to be serious. 

[Joseph Zarr]

EMJ just ripped a no-doubter. Over to the dog area in RF. Towering crushed HR. 3rd RBI tonight. First HR as a Sound. 7-0 Sounds in the 6th. My goodness. He got into that one. 397 over the RF wall. That's a mammoth RF shot.

[Joseph Zarr]

RHP Chase Costello is not as sharp as he typically is tonight. He's also getting squeezed on all the edges. He just conceded the first run of any Brewers affiliate here in the top of the 8th. An RBI one out triple into the RF corner past a diving Luke Adams at 1B. 6-1 Shuckers. He falls behind 3-1 to the next batter. Just not sharp. He induces the shallow RF pop out to EBJ for out 2. The runner stays. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Costello then gives up a 2-1 count two down oppo line shot RBI single into LF. Restituyo short-hops the relay to Pratt who fails to corral it and the runner advances to 2B. It's 6-2. AND, no matter the score, that can't happen. Sloppy play.

As I said: Costello is not sharp. A rare off outing.
