Alas no dice. T-Rats give up two big 3-run HRs and lose 9-7. Dang it. Okay back tomorrow

Down to their last out and Castillo with a HR. Tyler Rodriguez walks. 9-7 deficit. 2 outs. Let’s go T-TRats

Tough inning for Low. As he gives up 4 runs. But Daniel Dickinson HR gets a run back. Is this a hot streak, or is this a turnaround for young Dickinson?

Shuckers only 3 R on 5H, but Braylon Owens and Yorman Galindez combine for 1 run allowed on 5 hits for the win. Owen’s with the W, Galindez with the S.

Another Bitonti bomb. T-Rats back in this

The good news is that Josh Knoth pitched into the 5th. The bad news was two base runners and then a 3 run HR allowed. Knoth hung it. He stuck around for 2 more outs. But 4.2 IP, 81 pitches, and then 5 ER.

Man. Not sure what to make of this. Drafting a brother of a recent draft pick this early seems risky. Oh well I hope the player development brain trust know something here

Ugh, and it feels like history just repeated itself today.

With Harrison out, and Sproat mostly ineffective except in spurts, the top 1-3 for the rotation down the stretch is Miz and ...... So if they don't get a SP or 2, the team may do well, but it will feel all to similar where there is constant scrambling to figure out who starts in key games in Aug/Sep and who pitches in the playoffs.

Well, it appears that is the most likely explanation. Good luck to Isais.

"Letson, Dubanewicz, Broughton All Starting - Sign Us Up!" Well, thanks Mass for that jinx😉 Letson was ok, but Broughton and Dubanewicz roughed up a bit. At least Nashville offense came to play tonight. Is Luke Adams next on the call up parade??

I don't know the draft as well as any of you, but I do agree if there is not a particular player or trait that the FO wants, I am all for drafting SS and CF. Keep those position players stocked - as depth is always a good thing to have and depth pieces can be moved for players of need later (see Holobetz/Yophery for Priester; Durbin/Mona for Harrison). I suspect some 11-20 round HS pitchers, and wonder if other teams will do that as well?? The other is while we don't have high profile pitching prospects at the moment, the big league club and upper levels have 8-10 potential MLB arms that are mostly 24-27 and have 3+ years of control, which gives the '24/'25 HS pitching group some time to develop. But we rarely hit on international pitchers, so that is always an area of need to keep filling. But the M.O. is to do so in later rounds.

I love perusing this thread and seeing some info and intel on some draft prospects, and I think we have had a few in prior years that the Brewers did pick. Has anyone done a deep dive into our prior draft threads to see which players discussed wound up with the Brewers or drafted around the spots predicted? Just curious more than anything. Excited for this weekend and then coming here to learn more about the next 10-20 players the Brewers get to add to their already promising pipeline.

The "throw away" picks (I mean these are talented kids, but maybe drafted in the top 10 to save money when they were borderline top 10 picks) have been just the opposite the past few years - like Yoho in 2023, and Ragsdale and Owens in 2024. All three seemed surely like save some money for the post 10th round players. And while they did serve that purpose, these 3 in particular have been really good. You can add Kuehner and Manfredi to 2023 as well (Kuehner, Yoho, Manfredi combined to sign for $110,000!). In 2024 the only really low bonus signing was DeBerry in Round 3 (which is just amazing to think we picked up a 3rd rounder for $25k and he is actually pitching well in AA), and Sam Garcia (very mixed results). And Ragsdale was a true bonus payment in reality at $237,500 in round 6. I'm not sure what Andrew Healy signed for (not listed on BR.com) but Owens was the only top 10 round player who was under $100k.

While the headliner was Yophery (and I was a fan of his), but I was worried that Holobetz could break out into a high quality pitching prospect. I guess for 1 year (or maybe more) of Priester it would be worth it, and good for the Red Sox if they develop him into a quality MLB starter.... But if not, feel free to return him back 😉
