Friday's Birthday:

Timber Rattlers RHP Garrett Hodges turns 23 years old, we wish him a great day. Hodges is one of two T-Rats who will celebrate birthdays in Udder Tuggers attire this weekend. More on that tomorrow.

Fredericksburg starter tonight is 25 and has a 2.78 ERA with over a 3:1 K:BB ratio. Another guy who would have been bumped to A+ weeks ago if he was in the Brewers system.

Looking at Josh Adamczewski's season numbers for the season---a really fun exercise---I noticed that along with the eye-popping offensive numbers he's picked up 6 OF assists in just under 50 games in high-A. That's not something you see every day from a LF, not to mention one who came up as a 2B.

People talk about Fischer possibly being in Nashville this year. Adamczewski might have as good a chance if not better.

Totally agree.

Selfishly I miss seeing him in Appleton, but he deserved the promotion, and wish him the best of luck moving forward!

The annual Fredericksburg and Nats slow promotional roll out that inevitably leads to a shutdown of the (now) Wilson bats. A tradition unlike any other. Surprised they didn't bring Sykora off the 60-Day early for a 'Rehab assignment' just for shirts and goggles.

Jett sitting again……2 games in a row I think?

He's on the temporary inactive list so probably not with the team

Nutty raw power from Blake Burke. It's not easy to hit at 40 LA at 113mph. For reference there are only 7 players in the statcast era who have hit the ball 113+mph at 40+ LA. Here's the list

Ohtani (4x)

Judge (2x)

Harper (2x)

Wallner (2x)

Alonso (1x)

Greene (1x)

Alvarez (1x)

They’re halfway through the first game of AA Biloxi’s doubleheader at Montgomery, but here’s the starting lineup nonetheless. RHP Jaron DeBerry aims to lead the squad to a 3-0 series lead. OF Jacob Hurtubise is 6-for-9 with 5 RBIs in his last 2 games. 

[Ro Mueller]

6’6” LHP Andrew Healy (5.14 ERA, 1.71 WHIP, 9.3 K/9 in 35 IP) makes his 7th start (14th appearance) as the Low-A Warbirds need a win at Fredericksburg to even this week’s series 2-2. CF Handelfry Encarnacion is 7-for-16 with 8 walks over his last 5 games.

[Ro Mueller]

24-year old RHP Tyson Hardin has been terrific in 7 AAA starts (2.25 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 in 40 IP) and looks to lead Nashville to a 3-1 home series lead over Gwinnett. RF Greg Jones is back in the lineup after exiting Tuesday’s game early. SS Freddy Zamora sees his first action in 6 days.

[Ro Mueller]

21-year old LHP Wande Torres (5.2 IP, 0 R, 8 Ks in a solid last outing) gets the chance to lead High-A Wisconsin to clinch this week’s home series against Cedar Rapids. CF Braylon Payne has an 8-game hitting streak.
