Your 2026 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

[MudcatsfaninBrunsCO]

It's official! I'm making the 14 hour drive up from NC to Appleton/Milwaukee this June! Bought my tickets this morning. Section 100 for $19. Was surprised they were that cheap. Tickets down here were 18.50 when I bought mine for Wilson Opening Day. 

Got my Brewers tickets for Sat the 13th, and Sunday the 14th as well... Sunday I got them lower level but couldn't do that for Saturday because it's $$$

Has there been any Pena updates?

This is one of those situations where we wouldn't be hiding anything from everyone if there had been. 

Actually, we're not really "hiders" at all. So, answer is no at this time.

Lots of intriguing prospects at this level this year. I'm a several hours drive away also. Hoping to take a mini vacation weekend drive with my fam and maybe a couple other friends.

Love it... I'm excited. Hoping to bring home the Made COPA jersey giveaway that they are doing. It's a very similar lineup than Carolina/Wilson last year so that helps me out a lot

I know it had been rumored but I'm still surprised Fischer and Pena are starting in Appleton. This lineup is as nice as we've had here in a while.

Pena, Fischer, Bitonti, Adamczewski, Dinges, Payne, etc

Pleased Meccage is here as well. Dorchies, Galindez, Baez, Dickinson, Ragsdale ... 

I'm not sure we could have asked for more to start up here in the Fox Valley.

Is there a somewhat "typical" timeframe in the season for when guys get bumped up to AA if they're going to get moved? Last year, I wanted to see Burke and managed to just catch his last game. Thinking of maybe a June trip, hoping to see most of those position players.

Pena dipped to 35 in the new BA ranks. Don't agree with that by any means!

Get there really early for that jersey...

To make sure you get one, I'd recommend getting in line an hour before gates open.  That jersey is going to be HOT!

There is no timeframe, however, if planning to see Pena, Fischer, Adamczewski, Dinges, and Payne all together, I doubt they will ALL still be here mid June.

The sooner you go the better, as I'm expecting movement in the next couple of weeks.  To be honest, I can't believe that Payne is still here, and as well as Adamczewski is playing, he might be the next to go...  Fischer's days must be numbered as well.  Probably a good chance all 3 are gone by the end of May.

I always go to giveaways when possible wherever i go. My hotel is about a 3 minute drive from Fox Cities so I'll be fine. I'm well aware that it will prob be a popular one. I'm also going to the Brewers William bobble the next day so.

Payne isn't making near enough contact IMO to justify a call up to even more advanced pitching and the same thing with Fischer. Dinges needs a lot more refinement defensively to stay at C. Pena I hope is back to completely normal and he might get pushed fairly soon if all goes well in his return. Josh Adamczewski should see a call up very soon.
