Friday's Birthday:

DSL Brewers Blue RHP Steven Duran is 18 today. He'll need to sleep off a rough outing on Thursday.

The Rattlers are struggling big time right now. They have not won a game since the all-star break and have scored nine runs in their last five games. Perhaps all of the promotions are finally catching up to them.

Wilson has been little slow the past few weeks as well

After yesterday’s rainout at Sugar Land, the AAA Sounds roll out the same lineup they’d planned. RHP Tyson Hardin (6 IP, 1 R, 2 Ks last outing) is ready to lead the team to victory and avoid an 0-3 series deficit. Rehabbing RF Brandon Lockridge makes his first appearance since May 8.

Peyton Niksch moving Low-A to Double-A as an UDFA is not talked about enough. He has had a fabulous season and continues to prove his ability to get outs has not been impacted by organizational ball. Big promotion and a big test. Here's hoping he keeps crushing!

Another pitcher who was NOT on my radar again.  With many of the bigger names injured or struggling (Meccage, Thompson, The ‘25 HS draftees mostly) I have lost sight of several pitchers having good seasons.  Niksch as a NDFA fits that.  He is undersized - probably why he was an NDFA.  But if he can become a swingman he could be another valuable option.  Again any scouting reports on him from our resident scouts?

Just your standard .895 OPS in the 9-hole
