Saturday's Birthdays:

Wilson shortstop Brady Ebel turns 19 today. Wise old soul.

DSL Brewers Gold LHP Santiago Martinez turns 18. He's now on the 60-day IL as he left this June 19th game following a 3rd inning strikeout. Martinez, one of the very, very few southpaws at the complex level, had been off to a scintillating start in his 2nd pro season, 19 K's and 3 BB's in 11.2 innings of one-run ball.

Either I’m losing my mind, or the Shuckers have not updated the probables in a while. Didn’t Letson go on the IL with an oblique like… 4 days ago?

Expect Braylon Owens tonight.

Fischer with 30 HRs after one last night and Burke with 3 last night to reach 24. Fischer the first Brewers minor leaguer with a 30 HR season since 2001. And Burke might join him.

Yeah, I saw that! Wild, eh?! I continue to be outright amazed  at humanity's fascination with blowing things up or seeing colorful explosions. These types of things happen more often than we realize. Living where I do, in our very serious and dangerous fire ecology, the fact we still embrace fireworks is absolutely asinine to me. We can't help ourselves and we certainly can't get out of our own way. One misfired (Or, these days, intentionally lit) firework into high grass out this way and that is legitimately potentially a thousand plus acre burn in hours.

I'll just plop this here. I would hope the constant improvements we are seeing over the past season plus from Wood and Miller can quell some of our greater catching concerns? In the very least, these young men are showcasing they may actually both be progressing toward legitimate MLB back-up status...
