Wednesday's Birthdays:

Nashville's Brock Wilken turns 24 today. Enjoy your day with the matinee action and family time in the evening, Brock.

Wisconsin RHP Bryan Rivera, on the IL for the past month with an undisclosed injury, turns 21. We wish the Nicaraguan native a good day and a hopeful quick return.

Luke Adams 0327 to 0411 (51 PA)
205/347/385 (100 wRC+)
9.8 BB% | 15.7 K% | 7.8 HBP%

Luke Adams 0602 to 0616 (48 PA)
270/426/622 (172 wRC+)
12.5 BB% | 22.9 K% | 8.3 HBP%

Small samples all around, but nice to see Adams putting up some numbers over his couple weeks back at Nashville since returning from injury.

Maybe they can get the field ready in time, but the Quad Cities is supposed to get about 6 straight hours of rain today. I wouldn’t be surprised if that game is postponed.

Regardless, I expect you there with rain gear, umbrella (and boat if need be) to report back in this here Game Thread. It is written.

I am aiming to make at least one game, but my daughter’s softball and family activities this week might limit it to that. Wish they were in town next week instead.

Ol’ reliable LHP Thomas Pannone (2.90 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 6.7 K/9 in 40.1 IP) gets the early start, with Nashville needing a win to even the series 1-1 at Memphis. 1B Luke Adams’ AAA on-base streak is 19 games.

Jett with another homer after two yesterday, so that's fun

[markedman5]

 

[cragi]

imo Jett couldve been the one called up if not for the slump last month. Looks like a fire has been lit but timing sucks for him

[SF70]

DSL blue has been putting on a power display of epic proportions in the early going. Frontado looking like a future star.

[Ro Mueller]

Akil Baddoo’s 2nd homer of the afternoon: 

 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Can someone from the org leak Frontado's EV data? Pretty please... I want to see how it compares to Made at this age. 

[gregmag]

Twelve runs on four hits beats eleven runs on eight hits.  Never change, DSL!

There is plenty of room on the Brewers roster today, right freaking now...

Bring Jett up too, plop him at 3B and see what happens!

And all four hits went for extra bases. A double and three HRs.

On one hand, I think ISO as a whole is up about 25% in the DSL. On the other, Blue is blowing even the higher average out of the water and easily beating all of the other organizations with two teams.

Lara slumping a tad since signing the extension. Maybe the few game off in a row took him out of his groove a bit?

[Jim Goulart]

Wilmer Duarte's first pro win - 2 IP (plus two batters in a 3rd inning), 7 ER, 5 BB, 2 HBP, 2 WP, 1 K

I could be wrong about this but I remember Pratt doing the same thing after he signed his? Someone can fact me on that. A little "prove it" pressure, maybe?

Luke Adams two more HBP's - that's 11 in 120 plate appearances, or 9.2%.

Add in 13 walks.

[Ro Mueller]

Weather-permitting, 3B Andrew Fischer and LF Josh Adamczewski are ready to make their AA debuts, as Biloxi commence this week’s home series against Braves’ affiliate Columbus. RHP Tanner Gillis aims for another solid outing (12 IP, 3 R, 11 Ks in last 2 starts).

[Ro Mueller]

20-year old RHP Hayden Robinson makes his first Low-A start (4th appearance), as Wilson need a victory to even this week’s home series against Charleston. LF Pedro Ibarguen leads the team with a .867 OPS in  170 PAs.

[Ro Mueller]

20-year old RHP Josh Knoth (2.19 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 8.8 K/9 in 12.1 IP) built up to 69 pitches in his last outing and can lead High-A Wisconsin to a 2-0 series lead at Quad Cities. CF Braylon Payne (.957 OPS in 180 PAs) has 2 homers and 6 RBIs over his last 2 games.
