Will be in attendance in Chattanooga tonight.  Been waiting all season for this week.  Going to at least 3 of the games.

Enjoy! Come back with a report haha. I feel like the national media is starting to get prospect fatigue with Made (even though he is JUST 19). We need to get some more hype! 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Moneys out of the lineup today but Brewers finally giving out some EV data... It's even more absurd than I anticipated. 106.3 MPH EV90 for the 17 year old. Folks that is really really good. MLB average for EV90 is around 103 MPH. He's got serious bat speed! 

[Luke99]

I have been telling everyone at work to go see Made now...They are more excited for Fisher and Burke due to the Tennessee Vol connections.

20-year old RHP Manuel Rodriguez looks to repeat his last outing (5 IP, 0 R, 7 Ks last week), as the AA Shuckers kick off their road series against Reds’ affiliate Chattanooga. CF Josiah Ragsdale comes in with a 46-game on-base streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

LHP Thomas Pannone (6 IP, 2 R, 5 Ks last outing) and AAA Nashville play a rare series at Astros’ affiliate Sugar Land of the Pacific Coast League this week. LF Tyler Black has a 10-game hitting streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Ethan Dorchies is on a solid 4-game run (22.1 IP, 4 R, 21 Ks) for High-A Wisconsin, who battle Cubs’ affiliate South Bend on the road this week. 2B Daniel Dickinson has a 1.199 OPS in 57 July plate appearances.

I’m so pumped to see the promotions and draft pick assignments over the next few weeks!

Can they cram any more hitting prospects into the Biloxi lineup, or will Nashville peel a few of those bats away to finish out the season?

Does anyone go straight to Appleton, or do the high-round offensive picks all start in Wilson?

The pitching promotions should be enlightening, at least to a limited extent. They’ll give us a glimpse of who the Brewers feel is ready for the next challenge and who’s still working through a few things.

RHP Miqueas Mercedes has been in solid form (1 R, 14 Ks in last 12.2 IP) for Low-A Wilson and gets tonight start at Rays’ affiliate Charleston. LF Handelfry Encarnacion’s on-base streak has reached 20 games.

I jinxed DeBerry a few weeks ago but Manny Rodriguez is doing thangzzzz

Good god the Chattanooga broadcast is terrible. The announcer doesn’t need a microphone; he needs a seance.

Welp. Rodriguez did great and they got 3 outs from a special night.

I’m watching the beginning of the game. This guy repeatedly pronounced “Made” like “Shade” until he heard the PA announcer pronounce it correctly. He identified the Shuckers as a Marlins affiliate until someone passed him a note. He called Josh A. — while he was standing at the plate — a right-handed hitter. If you’ve seen Derry Girls, he sounds like Colm if Colm was a drooling idiot instead of a blowhard. He recites payers’ names, ages, and batting averages as if he’s a captured soldier refusing to give up information.
