On the main boards we had talked earlier this year about what numbers constitute a real 3TO player... and arbitrarily came up with 50% roughly as a watermark.

Schwarber leads baseball in HR and K this year and his HR/BB/K ratio to his PA is 56.5% .... which is crazy.

In Appleton this year Fischer was at 59.8% and in his 15 games in Biloxi that has climbed to 63.9%.

Special stuff. However you want to define special.

19-year old RHP Tyler Renz has gotten 9 days of rest after his last outing (3 IP, 7 R (6 ER), 3 Ks) and now leads Low-A Wilson as they try to clinch a 4-2 home series win over Kannapolis. 2B Juan Martinez has a 48-game on-base streak dating back to last year.

[Ro Mueller]

20-year old RHP Josh Knoth makes his 2nd start of the week (5 IP, 4 R, 4 Ks on Tuesday), as High-A Wisconsin seek to clinch a series win at Peoria. 3B Eric Bitonti has a 13-game on-base streak.

[Ro Mueller]

DH/1B Blake Burke (.874 OPS in 299 PAs) returns for his first action in 8 days, as AA Biloxi aims to clinch their home series over Chattanooga. 23-year old RHP Yorman Galindez makes his 2nd start of the week (3 IP, 5 R (2 ER), 1 K on Tuesday). 

[Ro Mueller]

The AAA Sounds also have a chance to clinch a 4-2 series win, in their case at home against Jacksonville. LHP Thomas Pannone makes his 2nd start of the series (5.1 IP, 4 R, 3 Ks on Tuesday). 3B Jett Williams’ hitting streak is now 8 games.

[Jim Goulart]

Josh Knoth only two innings for Wisconsin (31 pitches).

I saw that and remembered he went 5 innings on Tuesday, so maybe just a limit given he is coming back? I can try to log in to watch later.

Knoth looked fine in the 2nd inning.  Threw a couple nice curves and a 96 mph fastball to the last batter. This was confirmed by the announcer - planned short rest start for Knoth.

What do they feed Andrew Fischer anyways?  Another home run.   Dude is a machine.

Weather: 94 degrees, Partly Cloudy.
Att: 923.
Venue: Wilson Ballpark.

Understandable, fireworks last night, really hot, 7th inning.

This view gives pandemic MLB vibes before the fake people were added.

Anyone know the brewers minor league record for homers in a season?

Even without Made and Adamczewski in the lineup tonight, Biloxi's offense just keeps rolling. Burke is having himself a big night in his first game back in a week.

[Tedaldtada]

Blake Burke is gunning to be the first 20/20 player in the system this year.

Let's go for the all time record!

Joe Bauman holds the record for the most home runs in a single minor league baseball season, hitting 72 home runs for the Roswell Rockets in 1954

The other day I brought up Sacramento, a Brewer AAA farm team in the 1970s that had a ridiculously short porch in LF. Bill McNulty hit 55 HRs there in 1974. He played in a total of nine games at the big league level, none with Milwaukee, and went 1 for 27.         

He was a third baseman, so maybe if Joey Ortiz doesn't start hitting better............nah.

Any mention if he came from, you know, somewhere else?

Josh Exley (The X-Files): In the famous season six episode, Fox Mulder discovers that the legendary 1940s slugger Josh Exley was an alien from Roswell, New Mexico. Exley was so good that Arthur Dales jokingly speculated all the greatest players—including Babe Ruth and Willie Mays—were aliens

Tyler Rodriguez HR alert. Smoke em if you got em. 

[Joseph Zarr]

RHP Peyton Niksch is fast becoming my favorite Brewers undrafted gem. He deserves more shine me thinks. Really nice to see Meneses debut with two scoreless, hitless, walkless, 2 K frames!
