Sunday's Birthdays:

Biloxi RHP Ryan Birchard turns 23 today. On the IL (last pitched June 28th), we wish him well.

Wilson RHP Hayden Robinson, as was noted in Saturday's Link Report, turns 21. 

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Manuel Rodriguez threw 96 pitches on Tuesday (5.1 IP, 5 R, 6 Ks) and gets another start at Knoxville, with AA Biloxi needing a win to salvage a 3-3 series draw. CF Josiah Ragsdale’s on-base streak is now 42 games.

[Ro Mueller]

AAA Nashville can clinch a 4-2 series win at Charlotte behind rehabbing RHP Carlos Rodriguez, who tossed 49 pitches on Tuesday (1.2 IP, 4 R (1 ER), 2 Ks). 3B Ethan Murray has had 3 straight multi-hit games.

SS Jesus Made and 3B Luis Pena are National League starters in the Futures Game in Philadelphia, with the game already underway.

GameDay 

[wibadgers23]

Frias with a 2-run HR in the 1st for the Warbirds. Still waiting for video evidence.

[Ro Mueller]

19-year old RHP Ethan Dorchies makes his second start of the week (4.1 IP, 2 R, 3 Ks; 82 pitches on Tuesday), as High-A Wisconsin need a home win over Beloit to forge a 3-3 series draw. CF Braylon Payne has hit safely in 15 of his last 16 games.

Really nice low-A debut from Mayorquin.

Who other than our prospect guru, Spencer:

Absolute no doubter piss missile. Do you think he knew it when he hit it?😅

[Joseph Zarr]

RHP Hayden Robinson surrendered a double, a ground out, and then a walk and was pulled for Quezada in the top of the first frame. Did anyone see that sequence of events? 😬 Now, Quezada also only pitched 1/3rd of a frame. Maybe planned with the All Star Break forthcoming?

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Do you think the Brewers are concerned with the swing and miss as we are when it comes to guys like Payne and Fischer? Geniune question they still are getting on base at good clips, but I cannot help but be hesitant when I see that kind of swing and miss.  

[Joseph Zarr]

What an incredible season Blake Burke is having. Historic.

Really love the fact he pulled the ball too with that mammoth hack. He has had some trouble being late with his timing on stuff since getting to Wilson.

Wasn't this the continuation of last night's suspended game? Quezada came in to complete the inning that Robinson started last night, right? Or did I miss something (very likely)

[wallus]

Frias has 70 grade swag if anything

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Just as I say that Fischer mashes his 9th HR in his short stint in Biloxi. Incredible stuff.

Continuation of Saturday's game which was halted in the 1st inning.

Taking over where Robinson left off Saturday, Quezada inherited a 2-0 count, runners on the corners and 1 out. Kevin Garcia helped him out with a caught stealing, so Quezada only needed 1 out to end that inning.

That gave youngster Diustin Mayorquin a clean slate to start the 2nd inning and be the day's main innings eater.

Another low offense game between Biloxi and Knoxville with another 3-1 win. 2 HRs (Burke and Fischer) are the offense for the Shuckers. Wagoner with a 2 inning save.  So a brewer affiliate beating a Cubs affiliate will make me happy. I need all I can get after the disastrous 3 game set at PNC. Ugh. Let’s get some more wins then let draft day help me forget Saturday and Sunday big league results….

[biedergb]

Wilson wins big. A dominating 18-1 barrage. Will watch that game later to see Mayorquin low A debut. Of note that game is now listed under July 11 in the milb scoreboard (the original date of the game and when it started) so it disappeared off today’s schedule but don’t be fooled it occurred today.

Dorchies day is done. But 5 scoreless. 3 H, 1 Bb and 8K. Nice outing for Mr. Dorchies.

Yerlin is in now so we will see ….. 😐

Another pull shot nuke. My goodness. That is an attack of that baseball.

Ok. Walk, single, single, double and it’s 4-2. How much more leash does Yerlin keep getting?

[biedergb]

Talking about players and leashes - Carlos Rodriguez is a nice pitcher but he is taking a 40 man spot and isn’t really that effective in AAA, and has been limited to mop up duty when in the bigs.  Wonder what will happen to him, he seems like a good candidate to trade to a team needing depth pitching who can be patient with him I think?

So that begs the question- can Fischer overtake Burke’s team lead in HRs??? I mean it’s 20-9 but Fischer has only been here a month???

At his current rate,I predict he'll eclipse 20 by the end of the first series post-ASB. The young man is in the long ball zone.

[biedergb]

And Yerlin gets a K, but then a walk and sac fly. Welch comes in to finish the inning. 4-3 good guys still. Yerlin is must watch TV but not always for the good reasons.
