Antunez with a fair pop up to shallow right field extends Wilson 5-1. But the interesting thing is that the hit was against Caden Vire. Yeah that Caden Vire. Who now threw a wild pitch and it is 6-1 Warbirds.

So did the DSL Brew Gold get eliminated, or more games to play? Impressive day and year by Moneys. Antunez with another hit tonight as WIlson is up 3-1. Shuckers with a lead in the top of 1, but can the pitching make it count??

And then there is a walk off home run. Ugh the losing streak continues....

Shuckers up 4-2. Bottom of 8, and Birchard gives up a single, then a walk, then a grounder to get only 1. Then a single. Tie game now. ugh Shuckers losing streak has been painful to watch.

He never has a cheap one. He has the best pure power in the organization, and I will say IF he can fix those holes in the zone and lay off some of those pitches down/away, he can be a 50 HR guy in the bigs. A lot of ifs, That power potential and ability is not in question it has been the contact rate, but in zone and out of of zone. It would be interesting to see if he could be more selective and thrive in an ABS level, since I do think his huge zone is not consistently called in the lower minors, so I don't know if that is why he chases more, or if it is a pitch recognition. But man if he puts it together he is an absolute steal of a draft pick. Him and Pratt would make the 2023 draft a success.

Strosnide with a double to help get a run back. Meneses closes the door - 2K and a fly out. 16 IP to earn the save. T-Rats 5-3. Interesting slate of starters tonight - Broughton coming back from his TJ in 2024 and half of the outings as start the other half as reliever/piggyback. And Niksch in Biloxi, good luck young man.

Big pro HR for Strosnider, but he shows he is not ready for MLB CF yet as he misplays a fly out to center, Sawyer moves in then tries to move back it goes right over his glove and it is a lead off 2B for Lake County. But Bjorn Johnson then gets squeezed and gives up a walk.

So tie game 2-2, Knoth with 5 solid innings. Bottom of 7 and Strosnider hits his first profession HR to deep right center. Then a Bitonti bomb. So he has a milestone #20 on the season. So there's that. All good

man the DSL Gold have gone cold recently. Still a heckuva season

oh wow. I was clearly wrong on that. I wonder if/when Dickinson would be promoted?

I've been digging into the 2026 DSL numbers, and I think the Brewers are doing pretty well, especially when you look at the ages of the players. Brewers Gold is 33-19, and Brewers Blue is 30-23. Both are well above .500, with Gold having one of the better records in the league. And both could be playoff bound. What really caught my eye is that they're doing it with pretty young teams. The DSL average batting age is about 17.6 and pitching age is 18.5. Gold is only 17.2 / 18.2, while Blue is 17.5 / 17.8 (hitter / pitcher as per Baseball reference page) And they're producing: DSL Brewers Gold: 7.19 runs/game, .828 OPS DSL Brewers Blue: 7.25 runs/game, .852 OPS DSL average: 6.42 runs/game, .779 OPS So Gold is scoring about 12% more runs than the league average with a batting group that's actually younger than average. Blue's .852 OPS is even better. What's interesting is that some of the other really successful clubs are getting a lot more help from older pitching staffs. Padres Gold is 40-14 with a pitching age around 19.2, Royals Fortuna is 36-17 with a 19.1 pitching age, and there are several other good teams with pitching staffs in the 19.3-19.6 range. The Brewers seem to be doing it with young players on both hitting and pitching (I mean what else is new for this organization being among the youngest for a league). That also matches the individual hitter numbers. Milwaukee has about 13 of the top 250 hitter by wRC+ per FanGraphs for those who are teenagers (removed a handful of 20-21 yo), as well as an impressive 4 in the top 50. So among the teenagers, Brewers hitters are more represented in hitting performances that other clubs. So young teams, good success. Doesn't mean anything as a lot of these players don't make it stateside or out of the ACL. But again a good international foundation here.

So Turang, Pratt and Adams are the closest comps right now. If so I'll take it, since all 3 are MLB talents, with two on the roster currently.

No compensation for not signing Knaak, correct (only for 1st/2nd rounders?) And they will be in line for another competitive balance pick - is it A or B this upcoming year, or is that a lottery thing? And Bauers is the only FA that could recieve a QO?

I see the Shuckers lost. Too much to come back from that early 4-0 deficit. Seems like 2 errors on the one play by DeBerry and Payne, and then DeBerry gives up the big HR. Fischer had a HR. Boeve as well and had a good day at the plate, it would be great if he was back to the hitting prospect he looked like in 2023 and early 2024. Hardin was not sharp today, as he is struggling after a good start to his AAA career. Kuhnel, Koenig and Childers with scoreless innings of relief. Matos and Naylor both multi hit games and a HR for each as well. Sounds win 6-4

can't have enough BP options to try to ride the hot hand in Sept/Oct. IF, and a big IF, they could have a healthy options of Ashby, Hall, Koenig, Romero along with Drohan and maybe even Gasser all as LH pitching options for the bullpen and you can use the best 4 of that group, that would help. But real world we will see some injury and some ineffectiveness as that is the life of MLB.
