Brewers Gold might get a fortunate win today. They were up 3-2 entering the 9th inning. They gave up 2 runs in the Top of the 9th to fall behind 3-4. The game is currently in a rain delay in the bottom of the 9th. If the game gets called they would win 3-2 in 8 innings.

Cannot wait to watch the new college hitters!

Sounds like Luke Adams hurt his back

CF Kyle Jones (3rd round pick) and 1B Carsten Sabathia III (20th round pick) make their organizational debuts as Low-A Wilson host Royals’ affiliate Columbia. RHP Carlos Carra (5.74 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 in 80 IP) makes his 13th start (21st appearance).

I’ve been hoping they would shake up Handelfry’s spot in the order to try to get him going a bit. Looks like Jones’ arrival forced the issue.

How often do the Brewers have players skip Single A ball all together?

Off the top of my head, I can only think of Wilken.

Wilken, Boeve, Burke, Fischer all skipped the Carolina League.

Ok, so not that uncommon then...

Ortiz, Pratt, Williams, Adams..

2nd round draft pick RF Sawyer Strosnider sees his first action in the Brewers’ organization as High-A Wisconsin open their series at Twins’ affiliate Cedar Rapids. 20-year old RHP Jayden Dubanewicz (5.01 ERA in 41.1 High-A IP) tossed 3 shutout innings of relief last week.

Dang Daniel Dickinson is en fuego. 1.000+ OPS in July and August.

I raise you One Brady Ebel:

Also has a two-run oppo taco snuck in the left field foul pole. (second clip below)

Spencer is much higher on B. Ebel than pretty much everyone. I am still skeptical but he is still young obviously.

I am with Spencer. He is such a fantastic baseball player and we are only scratching the surface here. It is also speculated his brother comes into org ball with a more refined offensive game. The leap Brady has made since first Low-A AB's late last summer should excite each and every one of us. He really just projects to be oh so smooth.

You have him top 5 in the organization?

I don't do rankings. BUT, I would have zero issue with seeing Brady Ebel ranked that high. He is a fantastic baseball player.

Been saying it since High-A. Blake Burke: vastly underrated defender.
