Saturday's Birthday:

Wilson RHP Jarrette Bonet, fresh off Friday night's effort, turns 21 today.

So long Craig Yoho, my Sweet Prince. Nobody can take away that joyous 2024 debut full season affiliate march up to Double-A. 101 K in 57 2/3 IP. What a story. What a time. He will be missed.

Yes, the homegrowns are always tough to see go.

That was such a fun march. Put himself on the big league map and grew his value immensely.

I'll be in Wilson tonight! Look for me on the stream, I'll be sitting on the 3rd base side or walking around the outfield. I'll be in a Granjeros de Wisconsin jersey and Brewers hat. I would wear my mudcats/wilson stuff but wanting to switch it up a little.

Looking at that DSL Blue Box and, I'm not going to lie...feeling a little Frandy.

Mercedes with a decent outing stats-wise and Sarmiento also a veteran pitcher who will be stateside by next year pitched well.

Lafond with a Made like day at the plate.

Is it me or has Moneys cooled off a bit?

The Brewers DSL teams both have winning records, and of all the clubs with DSL Milwaukee team's combined record is 9th overall if you look at each org record in the DSL (15 clubs have 1 DSL team and 15 have 2 DSL teams).  So pretty solid to be top1/3 record in all of DSL and both teams are balanced mostly in their records. I would guess that they also have one of the younger rosters as well (like they do thorughout milb)

Walk off grand slam for DSL Gold switch-hitter INF/OF Josue Rodriguez, playing LF today.

Not to be confused with $1.5M bonus baby INF Jose Rodriguez.

Wow Lafond with a grand slam (after a 3-run shot) in the DSL Blue, a day after Made's 3-run and grand slam day. And yet another grand slam in the other DSL Gold game as a game winner.

That's a lot of HRs and grand slams this weekend.

It’s a doubleheader for High-A Wisconsin today, who are leading their home series 2-1 over Lansing. 20-year old RHP Josh Knoth has been in a rough patch (19 R, 19 Ks in last 19.1 IP). CF Braylon Payne has 5 consecutive multi-hit games.

Nice to see Pena back. Now stay healthy!

Everybody in the lineup for Biloxi

AAA Nashville got a win yesterday and need another at home against Charlotte to avoid a series loss. RHP Carlos Rodriguez threw 48 pitches 4 days ago (3.2 IP, 1 R, 0 Ks), so expect a short start. Unsung C Andrick Nava has homered in 2 of his last 3 games.

All hail the Beach Chickens garb. BIG fan. I still proclaim their adult button up shirt was middle-aged male perfection- I don't see it in 2026. Also, whoever are proud owners of this gem are in a special club:

Nice seeing Josh Knoth going back out in the 6th. 
5IP 2H 0R 1BB 6K. 67pitches.
 

[SF70]

Knoth got thru the 6th unscathed after giving up a couple of baserunners, one by error the other a single. Ended the inning with his 7th K. 86 pitches. Nice to see him get stretched-out some.

11 of his 14 batted ball against today were ground balls. That pushes his GB rate at A+ this year to 59.7% which is frankly absurd.

For as disappointing as the organization’s pitching has been this season, Knoth has been anything but that. Hoping we still have him with the org Monday nite, but if not we’ll have a player that helps the big-club in their attempt to win a title this year.

Wood has been truly one of the better and more consistent positive feel good stories in the entire system dating back to last season's call-up. He has officially arrived and cemented himself as legitimate prospect status in 2026 by following up and building on 2025.

[Joseph Zarr]

OF Luis Castillo has sneakily put forth a high quality season given his previous issues. K rate down to 24%. Has kept the long ball in his repertoire. Solid BA and OPS over 296 High-A PA's. Just cracked his 13th HR on a 3-run shot.
