No Birthdays Wednesday

CF Braylon Payne (.937 OPS in 144 PAs) is back for his first game in 13 days, as High-A Wisconsin seek a 2-0 series lead at Cedar Rapids. RHP Braylon Owens (4.24 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 12.9 K/9 in 40.1 IP) makes his 6th start (10th outing).

I wonder how many games we’ve gotten the whole Rattlers gang together (Pena, Ragsdale, Dinges, Fischer, Adamczewski, Payne, and Bitonti).

[wiguy94]

if I was the Brewers, I think Josh Adamczewski would be nearly untouchable in a trade. I just really, really believe he's going to be a good MLB hitter. I envision him being similar to the version of Bauers we are seeing this year.

I count 6 games. Undefeated.

[homer]

Ragsdale is en fuego. 333/434/467 in May and he's 5 for 8 in June.

[Joseph Zarr]

Jose Nova gave us a scoreless 3 K 9th frame , preserving the 10-4 'W', in a way only 2026 T-Rat Jose Nova can:

3 BB, 2 WP

Zesty!

Not arguing the talent that JA appears to have.  But I would think that if the Brewers have to give up a top-10 prospect or two to get impact major league talent, he would be one of the most expendable, simply because if he is limited to LF that is arguably the easiest position to find a quality bat.

In the OF he has LL ahead of him, Payne at the same level, Chourio isn't going anywhere for a long time, Frelick isn't a FA until 2030, and if Made/Pena/Pratt all make it then maybe Williams has to move to the OF.  You know JA's defense better than I do, but my guess is that all of those guys would be ahead of him defensively.  Knowing how the Brewers value defense, he would have to be markedly better at the plate to earn a starting spot over those guys.  

As for DH, Yelich likely isn't going to be a FA until at least 2030. By 2030, JA will be on his last option year if that's how long it takes to find a spot for him.

Adamczewski was an absolute demon today.

Yeah I think everything you said makes a lot of sense (though I think Yelich is almost certainly a FA after 2028 and won't have the mutual option picked up) but I just really think Adamczewski might have a special bat. It wouldn't shock me at all if he becomes the best hitter out of the guys currently in the system. He really just seems like a complete hitter. Good contact rates, good chase rates, good power, good batted ball angles. Maybe that's less important if guys like Made and Pena can hit their potential but I really can't think of the last hitter to come through the system that was as complete as Adamczewski looks.

LHP Andrew Healy looks to continue his solid 5-game run (16 IP, 6 R, 18 Ks), as Low-A Wilson aim for a 2-0 home series advantage over Salem. 2B Juan Ortuno (.755 OPS in 177 PAs) returns for his first action since Thursday.

[Ro Mueller]

Red-hot 24-year old RHP Tyson Hardin (0.96 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 8.7 K/9 in last 18.2 IP) seeks to lead AAA Nashville to a victory to even their series at Jacksonville. SS Cooper Pratt’s season OPS is up to .750 thanks to his 22-game on-base streak.

Note: OF Luis Lara was a late scratch to the lineup.

[Ro Mueller]

The AA Shuckers try again to start this week’s home series against first place Montgomery, with 20-year old RHP Manuel Rodriguez (4.74 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 7.8 K/9 in 43.2 IP) getting the start. 2B Dylan O’Rae comes in with an 8-game hitting streak.

Manny Rodriguez has looked great. 6 innings of 1 hit ball

[duewizard]

Blake Burke Bomb!! 

 

[duewizard]

Manny gave up a bomb in the 7th but still had a strong line: 6.2 IP 2 H 1 ER 0 BB 5 SO. Jimenez and Wagoner went the rest of the way to secure a 3-1 win. Key one in the battle with Montgomery over the first half lead
