19-year old RHP Miqueas Mercedes and Low-A Wilson need a win at Salem to avoid a 3-0 series deficit. Eric Martinez gets a rare start at first base. 

[MudcatsfaninBrunsCO]

Watching Wilson as well as scoring from home!

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Logan Henderson is back in AAA and ready to lead Nashville to win at Gwinnett to come back from a 2-0 series deficit. 1B Luke Adams is 5-for-13 with 2 homers over his last 4 games. 

[Ro Mueller]

19-year old RHP Ethan Dorchies makes his 2nd start (4 IP, 2 R, 4 Ks last outing), as High-A Wisconsin strives for a 3-0 series lead at Quad Cities. 3B Andrew Fischer, DH Marco Dinges and LF Josh Adamczewski each look to keep their early-season OPS above 1.000. 

[biedergb]

Mercedes with a nice start so far. Dorchies with a 1st inning he would like to forget. Yikes. 

[Ro Mueller]

22-year old RHP Ryan Birchard makes his first-ever AA start (second appearance) and Mike Boeve makes his first Minor League outfield appearance as Biloxi shoots for a 3-0 home series lead over Pensacola. 

[RedStickBrew]

Burke nearly went yard again to straight away center. 

[Tedaldtada]

O’Rae and Made are deadly. Double-triple for Made tonight.

[wibadgers23]

Burke with another homerun.  The boys from Biloxi have been a fun follow so far.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Burke looks a bit too big (in a negative way) right now. But man he is smacking the absolute crap out of the ball. He is also swiping some bags. There's a decent chance that he is the best part of the Burnes trade lol. 

[wiguy94]

Burke really feels in a class of his own when it comes to power hitting prospects with the Brewers right now. I’m struggling to think of the last guy that had this type of raw and game power in our system. Maybe crazy but could it be Prince?

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Jesus Made's barrel control is generational. Another smoked ball. A 2 RBI single. My goodness he is just 18 in AA. You have to pinch yourself sometimes. I don't think Chourio was as good of a prospect. 

[biedergb]

Yeah that looks like a Birchard line. 60 pitches for 3 innings, 1 hit allowed, 4 walks and 5 K.

man that Nashville offense is offensive.  Henderson pitched well, but really no one is leading that offense.

wilson also without much offense either.

Prince raw power wise. Burke probably will never be that type of prospect though. A guy that came to mind and I might be aging myself here a bit but Hunter Morris. He didnt have this type of raw power but he put up some real numbers in the southern league.

[biedergb]

After Dorchies awful first inning, he did settle down.  The offense in not doing too much tonight.

Nashville despite its offensive struggles has 6 runs and the lead.  But only Leonard and Jones with ok numbers, and Lara is the only prospect hitting.  Quero, Williams, Pratt, Adams not so much.  I won’t even go there with Wilken.

[Bulldogboy]

Made is better than advertised if that's possible.

Wilken is wasting time there.

[brewmann04]

Wilken needs to sit or sent down before he gets mentally destroyed 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

2 Ks looking for Made. Or shall we say gifts from the umpire to the pitcher. Both pitches were outside by a good amount. ABS is coming soon Jesus. Dont fret. 

 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Oppo TACO BURKE. This guy is must see TV!!!

The cream is rising folks

[RedStickBrew]

I didn’t watch a ton of Burke last year but I seem to recall him pulling the ball and hitting line drives and having a healthy number of Ks. 
It would seem he’s made quite an adjustment in the early going.

Six HRs now, and yet to see his 30th AB. If this power translates as he climbs he's extremely dangerous because his power extends to all fields & compared to a lot of power guys the swing seems pretty effortless.

[wallus]

Burke has to be top 10 in our system now, this isn't just a hot streak.
