Tuesday's Birthday:

Happy 17th birthday to DSL Brewers Gold catcher Francisco De Marchena. Pretty sure I have Brewers apparel in my closet older than Francisco.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Having deja vu looking at these Moneys' and Matos' stat lines on a daily basis. Reminds me of another pair to come out of the Dominican Republic during the same signing period. 🤔

The Low-A Warbirds host Nationals’ affiliate Fredericksburg this week, with RHP Tyler Renz (2 R, 5 Ks over last 6.2 IP) making his 12th start (19th appearance). Recently-promoted RHP Brailyn Antunez has a 21-game on-base streak.

I'll be heading out to Wilson Saturday night then again August 28th. Glad to be making the hour trek down there.

Fredericksburg still up to their old tricks keeping around players forever. Tonight's start for them is 24 years old and has a 3.39 ERA with a nearly 3:1 K:BB ratio.

Their pitcher starting tomorrow is a 23 year old who played in the Complex for the whole season despite having a 39 ERA-, 58 FIP-, and 68 xFIP-.

[wiguy94]

Tonight Fredericksburg is starting someone born in 2002. Wilson is starting someone born in 2006.

Fredericksburg is starting two 07, one 04, one 02, four 06, and one 03 birth year in their lineup. Wilson is starting one 06, seven 07, and one 08 birth year.

The age gap between these two teams tonight is absurd. By birth year Fredericksburg's lineup and starter are 21.1 years old while Wilson's lineup and starter are 19.1 years old.

In his 60th minor league outing, RHP Jack Seppings (4.35 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 7.2 K/9 in 49.2 High-A/AA IP) makes his 1st career start, as AA Biloxi host Rays’ affiliate Montgomery this week. 1B Blake Burke has 5 homers and 10 RBIs over his last 3 games.

[Paulus8]

That Biloxi lineup is a real treat

[Ro Mueller]

AAA Nashville host White Sox affiliate Charlotte this week, with RHP Brett Wichrowski getting the start after tossing 35 pitches 4 days ago. RF Akil Baddoo (.992 OPS in 97 AAA PAs) returns from injury to join Nashville’s lineup for the first time since June 20.

[Ro Mueller]

High-A Wisconsin host Athletics’ affiliate Lansing this week, with 21-year old LHP Wande Torres (4.89 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 9.1 K/9 in 84.2 IP) starting the series opener tonight. 3B Eric Bitonti (.869 OPS in 327 PAs) is back in the lineup after missing 5 games.

That whole group is primed to explode. Holding their own against pitchers 4-5-6 years older than them almost every night.

Dont forget Frontada as a top line guy and then plenty of others in the Jose Anderson/Juan Ortuno style.

[wiguy94]

Antunez just hit an absolute nuke. 

[wiguy94]

Video proof of said nuke

 

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Luis Pena pinch hit for again... starting to really raise my brows.

Looked awkward running down the line on his groundout in the first. Guessing it's his hamstring still not feeling right.

Missed that thanks for the context!

When Fredericksburg’s starting pitcher (currently 24 yo) was their age (18), Antunez/Frias/Mayorquin were 12 years old 😳

Wow. The Warbirds had exactly two players play tonight who were 20 (Ibarguen and Espinal), and the FredNats had exactly 2 players play tonight who were under 20 (19 year old Gavin Fien and Coy James).  Just wild the age difference.

[biedergb]

Oh yeah and Wilson win 6-1 😃

[liveforoctober]

Do we think Antunez' early 2.778 OPS is sustainable? :)

"Did Biloxi have a game today?" and "Did Fischer hit a home run today?" are the same question/answer.
