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. 

[Ro Mueller]

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.

[Tedaldtada]

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.

[Ro Mueller]

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.

[Tedaldtada]

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

[gregmag]

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.

[gregmag]

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.

Yes I have. 😆

Just another day at the office for Adamczewski. Double, homerun, two walks. Guy is a stud.

[Jim French Stepstool]

Sorry that I caught none of Rodriguez' outing tonite for the Shuckers. Six hitless. What I especially love about the kid is pretty much from day one as a pro he hardly walks ANYBODY.

[jay87shot]

Matt Wood and Tyler Rodriguez are vastly under-rated players at this point.

Wood should get a AAA look soon, especially with Quero not catching recently. However he is slugging over .500 and he has 51 bb to 32 ks. 

Rodriguez is also walking more than striking out (did in 2025 as well). He has been great in a small sample in Appleton and is only 20. I doubt he will ever be a big prospect but in most orgs he would be an easy top 30 but for us probably borderline top 50 at the moment.

Since as you mentioned Quero isn't behind the plate, It was a surprise to me that Darrien Miller was promoted rather than Wood (although Miller does seem to be holding his own in AAA).

[Jim Goulart]

Mike Boeve still idle for Biloxi, last played pre–All-Star Break on the 12th.

Late night last night. 

Thoughts and observations from Chattanooga last night

1) Adamczewski is a stud. His swing is so pretty

2) Made didn't have his best game was the DH so didn't get to see him in the field.  

3) Dylan O'Rae may not be an MLB player, he has a lot stacked against him, but he is a joy to watch. I was sitting with a lot of Lookouts fans who kept asking about him.  

4) Rodriguez was impressive.  Mixed pitches well.  

5) Ragsdale is a very solid CF, ran down 2 of the 3 hard hit balls by the lookouts and made a nice over the shoulder catch 

6) I saw scouts from the Tigers, Mets, Angels, and Orioles there. The Tigers scout was only taking video of Adamczewski.  I told him that he is not available unless Skubal resigns with us for 4 years and 80 Mil after this year...He laughed and quipped I think he is looking for 80 million per year.

 

Going again on Thursday and maybe Sunday.

Very interesting observation! Just curious - how did you know what teams they were from?

[Luke99]

@wibadgers23 Talked to the Tigers scout for a lot of the game, he was sitting right in front of me. Angels scout was decked out in Angels gear and taking video on ipad half the night.  He was 1 section over.  The Tigers scout pointed out the other 2 as his "competition" and told me who they were with. 

[snoogans8056]

Tigers scout is interesting as I see Adamczewski as a McGonigle that couldn’t stick in the infield.

[Team Canada]

I wonder if it's just likely sellers doing their due diligence in research of buyers' prospects, or if that would typically indicate there are "kicking the tires" conversations going on?
