Wow. Wenderlyn works around a leadoff triple going strikeout, walk, catchers interference and then inducing the 5-2-3 double play ball to get the ACL Brewers into extras.

Fielder walked to load em up, but Engel Paulino, Gery Holguin and Kevin Garcia all struck out leaving everybody stranded.

E6 and Ereu’s second hit of the game/season has two on no outs for Jadyn Fielder trying to get those runs back.

Things didn’t go quite so smoothly for Wenderlyn in the 8th giving up three singles and a double steal to tie it up at four each.

Wenderlyn King on in relief for Zona Crew and has gone seven up six down (1 HBP | 1 K). Anderson, Quintana, Corobo due up top eight trying to add onto their 4-2 lead.

Dinges walk and a Tyler Rodriguez single makes it 10-1 Carolina. & it looks like we’ve got a pitching change.

Carolina just keeps on going, Eric Martinez double makes it 8-1. Runners on 2nd & 3rd still only one out for Made who promptly sac flies a ninth Mudcat run to the plate.

Carolina adding on with a Tyler Rodriguez HBP (there was an injury delay in the feed but he remains in the game…for now), Di Turi single, Nadal walk and Walling double making it a 6-1 Mudcats lead. & another run scores on an E7.

I hope Jadyn Fielder hablas a little espanol or it’s gonna be a long summer. Guess he could always talk to the pitchers.

Quero solo shot gets Zona Crew on the board first.

Here’s the lineup from the Arizona Complex League… Tyler Black 1B Jeferson Quero C Jose Anderson RF Jorge Quintana SS Luis Corobo DH Juan Ortuno 2B Kevin Ereu 3B Jadyn Fielder LF Engel Paulino CF Tyler Renz P

Shuckers with a little something going top five. An Adams walk plus singles from Boeve and Pratt made it 4-2. Wilken walks to load the bases and Lara flies out to CF for another run. & a Warren groundout makes it 6-2.

Just following along on GameDay. No injury delays were noted on the feed.

Carolina added two more runs bottom three on an Eric Bitonti RBI double and Filippo Di Turi sac fly, now a 4-0 lead. Payne reached on a fielders choice, stole two bases and scored one of the runs but was lifted after the inning for a defensive replacement.

Hernandez back out for the seventh and goes F9, 6-3, single on his 90th pitch. Comes back and strikes out the next batter for a seven inning, 94 pitch complete game.

Payne walked for the third time. went to third base on a Filippo Di Turi single, then scored on a Luis Lameda single to give Carolina a 4-2 lead bottom six.

Not quite and eruption but Made walked, stole second, went to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch in the bottom half.

I dunno, believe White Sox had second shot at him on the waiver wire so may have been a hot commodity

Assuming Giannis stays, I think they'll try to retain all of Porter Jr, Trent Jr and Portis (plus Ryan Rollins and Jericho Sims). If Brook wants to come back at a discount as a regular season floor raiser I'd be fine with that too, but would prefer to give those minutes to someone younger. Porter Jr. / Rollins Trent Jr. / Patty C Green / Jackson Jr. Giannis / Kuzma Bobby / Sims Deep bench would be Chris Livingstone, Tyler Smith & whoever they take with pick #47. Try to deal Kuzma for someone more useful &/or see who is out there for the vet min that can fit in around Giannis and knock down some open shots.

I can see both sides of it. Even though Made is a teenager in A ball he feels "safer" than Misio due to pitcher attrition rate in general and reliever risk with Jacob. I've had Misio at #1 for awhile now just due to his legit ace potential, howsoever small. With another bonkers start today those odds keep sneaking upwards though.

FanGraphs Top 45 is published today. Haven't had a chance to fully dig in yet, but here's the System Overview... The Brewers system is among the best in baseball thanks to their scouting in Latin America, and their ability to synergize the domestic draft with their player development processes. In the span of a few years, the Brewers have signed two superstar-level international talents in Jackson Chourio and Jesús Made. Even if things somehow go awry for Made, his bat speed is his bat speed, and his power is his power. The ability to identify and/or develop indomitable characteristics in just a couple of players can change the course of an entire franchise, and the mere chance that Milwaukee has done this twice in short succession is remarkable, and very bad news for the rest of the NL Central. The Brewers, for the most part, do not put all of their eggs into one basket on the international front. There isn’t a $3.5 million player occupying the majority of their pool space. Instead, they tend to have multiple $1 million to $2 million players, and those players tend to have the heuristic qualities (switch-hitting infielders, shorter-levered players) that analytically inclined teams like the Rays and Guardians target, with slightly more physicality or projection than is typical for that player demographic. Casting a wider net in that market allows the Brewers to diversify their risk and field two rosters worth of players in the DSL. Homegrown players are so important to smaller market teams, and this gives Milwaukee more chances to find some. The rate and speed at which the Brewers improve the pitchers they draft is among the best in the industry. There are so many generic college relievers on this list who have not only improved, but who have a shot to be big league starters. For a while, the Brewers hammered junior colleges, but the transfer portal has made those less dense with talent. Now they’re unearthing guys who had 8.00 ERAs at big schools and making them good during their first offseason. It’s not like other teams don’t scout Mississippi State; the Brewers aren’t turning over rocks in the Dakotas to find players, though they do scout the Midwest very well. Guys like Tyson Hardin and K.C. Hunt had all the resources of an SEC program, but their time in Starkville still didn’t make them especially good. And the Brewers give themselves lots of chances to apply their player dev concepts to many players. They work out their bonus pool math in such a way that they maximize how many high school players they’re drafting, signing 15 of them (!) combined the last two drafts. High school players have more athletic projection, with more time and opportunity to develop than college players, and when you’re adding six or eight of them to your system every year, you’re adding the opportunity for homegrown ceiling to an org that needs it to tilt with the likes of the Dodgers and Phillies. It’s conceptually basic but difficult to execute. It takes your scouting staff properly gauging signability in a weird slice of the amateur market, namely high schoolers whose talent puts them in the $250,000 to $600,000 bonus range, and who are willing to sign for that. It’s such a specific tier of talent to care about, and the org has to have non-data intel on each of these individuals in order to execute the strategy.

Jimmy Herron hitting 212/268/265 (50 wRC+) and Adam Hall hitting 207/281/264 (56 wRC+) with a 36.5 K% have been the primary corner outfielders for NASH this year. Rosario has hit 339/406/542 (137 wRC+) in AAA so far this year. I’ll cruise with Eddie.

Sounds leading 5-0 in Game Two. An EMJ triple and and Adam Hall single got the first run on the board top of four while another Anthony Seigler bomb added two more runs top of five. Sounds kept it going in the fifth with a Dunn single, EMJ walk and Raynel Delgado RBI single. A wild pitch moved runners up to 2nd and 3rd with an Adam Hall single scoring another run. & now Zamora gets HBP to load em up for Jimmy Herron. DL Hall went 2.2 scoreless with 1 H | 3 BB | 1 K throwing 49 pitches (30 strikes). Ashby worked around a single, double and walk to put up a zero in the bottom of the fourth.

Last year Made played 27 games at SS, 12 at 3B, and 9 at 2B. Luis Pena played 24 games at SS, 10 at 3B, and 8 at 2B. I would guess they'll continue to move them both around as they move up the ladder to see who fits best where. If it was just about errors Pena has 4 in 27 total chances for an .852 fielding percentage at SS so far this year compared to Made with 3 errors in 85 total chances for a .965 fielding percentage at SS so far this year.

How about another Dinges DONGER here to lead off bottom of eight. A literal rainmaker as one batter later the game is in delay.
