DSL Brewers Blue just scored five runs on zero hits in the top of the 4th. They have no hits through four innings but lead the game 5-0.

Complex League baseball, baby!

The no hitter icon just popped up at 8-5 😂

DSL Blue breaks up the imperfect game with a Jefer Lista RBI single.

Deficit is down to 8-7 now as they scored a run earlier on an Antunez bases loaded GIDP.

[sveumrules]

DSL Gold loses their second straight one run game, falling 5-4.

- Kenny Fenelon added two more singles to his ledger. 
- Jose Martinez singles twice and stole two bags.
- Francis Sosa homered
- Jonathan Rangel tripled twice 
- Romano Donato doubled
- Josue Toledo = 4 IP | 0 R | 1 H | 0 BB | 3 K

After a pair of strikeouts to open the seventh, Johanderson Tarazona doubled, Angel Gonzalez walked, they both stole a bag, then came around to score on a two RBI Jhoanjel Saez single to give DSL Blue a 9-8 lead.

But that ain't it. Saez stole second, Joan Guttierez & Brailyn Antunez walked to load the bases, then Jefer Lista came through with the single and an E4 for two more, now 11-8.

A DSL Spesh: 9 SB through 8 for the Crew Azules. One CS in that mix. Moreno gave back 2 and it is 11-10 in the 9th. Yowza. This is a DSL Happy meal.

Tarazona with two doubles in his first game while playing catcher. Turned 17 yesterday.

[Joseph Zarr]

I really appreciate the finer details of these early games. For instance, lead-off OF Brailyn Antunez tipping his cap to salute departed INF Kevin Ereu with his 0-for-6, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 R output so far. That is a savvy vet move for such a young player. Little things like this - beyond the box score - really keep me glued to the Game Log!

[Joseph Zarr]

Well, it was a three-up and three-down ninth for the Brewers Blue - ending with an Antunez swinging K. Let's see if the pitching staff can muster another scoreless frame to steal this 'W'.

[Joseph Zarr]

Mendez replaces Moreno to begin the ninth. He opens with consecutive singles putting men on 1st and 2nd. He follows with a pop out to 1B. He then walks the next batter to load the bases. This half inning certainly tips the cap to the Brewers Blue overall performance on the day. Can he escape? 

[Joseph Zarr]

AND, that's definitely a wrap.

A patented DSL consecutive Wild Pitch Cleveland Walk-Off! 😂

ACL Brewers Blue lose 12-11. Fitting end. Yeeesh.

Quero blasted his way through the ACL. Hopefully he can put up an OPS over 700 in Nashville

Over his largest samples Jeferson put up...

- a 757 OPS (106 wRC+) in Carolina (320 PAs)
- a 779 OPS (105 wRC+) in Biloxi (381 PAs)

Looking at some of the Sounds this year there is Monasterio (757 OPS | 107 wRC+) and Clarke (724 OPS | 102 wRC+) in that same kind of general range Quero has found himself in over larger samples.

Think an OPS over 700 should be doable for Jeferson once he gets up to speed.

[Ro Mueller]

Low-A Carolina commences its home series against Rays’ affiliate Charleston, with RHP Travis Smith (3.72 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 6.8 K/9 in 29 IP) making his 10th start. What does 1B Eric Bitonti have in store for us after his 5-for-7, 4 HR, 7 RBI weekend?

[Joseph Zarr]

If you're like me, leading up to the first pitch you are getting comfy and checking in on greater Brewers Minor League items. Let's get you started. Here's Mudcats announcer Chris Edwards having an extended dugout chat with the Brewers' Tom Flanagan:

 

[Joseph Zarr]

Smith opens 1-2-3. Fly out to Anderson in RF. K. Groundout to Pena at SS.

[Joseph Zarr]

Made oppo reach double. Team leading 10th dub of his season. Heck of a slice on a challenging pitch behind in the count. LF'er couldn't quite get a clean glove to it - deflected off the webbing in a sprinting lunging attempt.

[Joseph Zarr]

Well, Payne grounds out to 2B. Made gets to 3B. Peña grounds to the 3B and Made is caught off the bag. Tagged out in the run down. Infield ump appears to have blown the call at 2B calling Peña safe on a late slide - ball beat him and in true Minor League fashion he made the call from behind the play. SO, Peña is now at 2B with two down. Bitonti will try to do damage. He falls behind 1-2.

[Joseph Zarr]

Bitonti reach flies out to shallow left CF. Wasted early opportunity there. On to the 2nd. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Another 3-up, 3-down frame for Smith. Two groundouts to Peña. A fly out to Anderson in RF. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Current posted Sounds line-up card shows Seigler at SS. I am going to guesstimate that is a mistaken submission.

[Joseph Zarr]

Things getting mildly interesting in the 2B. Two down. A Di Turi liner skips past the diving 2B for a single. Walling pokes a goose snort 3-2 infield single and the charging SS tries to nab Di Turi at 3B but throws wide. Di Turi stays. Walling advances to 2B. Runners in scoring position for Walther who take high and then wields a sword. 1-1 count. And, he grounds out to 3B. Another RISP sutation squandered early.

[Joseph Zarr]

Bitonti with two very nice plays at 1B to assist Smith with another 1-2-3 frame. He adeptly snags and scoops a short-hop throw up the 1B line from Made at 3B. He then expertly snags a hard hit grounder down the 1B/RF line and cooly trots and underhand scoops to the covering Smith. Really solid work there on both plays. 0-0 on to the bottom of the third.

[Joseph Zarr]

I am going to say this again. I said it last week. And, I'm saying it because it really is glaringly obvious and I don't like that it is:

OF Braylon Payne's swing is a complete discombobulated mess right now. I do not like what I'm seeing at all.  🫣
