    Through three innings, I thought the River Bandits were going to take it. Dubanewicz was getting ugly swings but also some hard contact. Then the flood gates just opened. He still looked really good, though. Sat 93-94 pretty much the whole time, and did get those aforementioned ugly swings. Other thoughts: I was watching the game closely and still couldn’t track Dinges’ home run. I quoted the Bull Durham line to my dad after that one. Low’s outing wasn’t like the one Yerlin Rodriguez meltdown I saw live. He seemed to be constantly around the zone, just struggled to be inside it. And they couldn’t really touch him when he found the zone. As impressive as you can get for a four walk, two inning outing, but it was still a four walk outing. Fowler also lost the zone in the ninth, but they didn’t really get much hard contact off him either. Bitonti struck out twice but had a couple of nice pieces of hitting as well. Biggest applause of the game came in the ninth when the River Bandits’ position player who came in to pitch went from throwing 46 mph to cranking an 84 mph fastball.

    It will be interesting to see the organization’s pecking order (if they choose to protect any) among the AAA pitchers. If they think Kuehner’s stuff plays up in relief, I could see him over Holub, Childers or Manfredi. Also, while I am not predicting this, if the control suddenly clicks into place for Birchard, he becomes an interesting dilemma as well.

Dubanewicz and Encarnacion were the first two left out.

    Pair of homers for Encarnacion as well. Some nice power on display tonight.

    Glad to see TJ with the info (longtime coworker). Hopefully he can be at least solid when he returns.

    On one hand, I think ISO as a whole is up about 25% in the DSL. On the other, Blue is blowing even the higher average out of the water and easily beating all of the other organizations with two teams.

    I am aiming to make at least one game, but my daughter’s softball and family activities this week might limit it to that. Wish they were in town next week instead.

    Maybe they can get the field ready in time, but the Quad Cities is supposed to get about 6 straight hours of rain today. I wouldn’t be surprised if that game is postponed.
  9. CheeseheadInQC
    I know that the season isn’t over and the minor league offensive environment has been nutty, but here is a list of players who have compiled a strikeout rate of less than 10% and an ISO of .200 in at least 100 plate appearances in the ACL and its predecessor since 2012: CJ Abrams Juan Martinez That’s it.
  10. CheeseheadInQC
    3 wins and the biggest news comes from the lone loss.
  11. CheeseheadInQC
    He could if he keeps it up, but it is going to be tough. Carroll, Wood and Walker are likely and Crow-Armstrong has hit enough where he probably makes it as well. You could make the case for Chourio or a couple of the others over Soto, but he will likely be voted in and even if he isn’t, he is probably the Mets representative. If he is healthy, Moniak might be the Rockies representative. That would maybe leave one spot for Chourio, Pages, Harris, Cruz, Happ and others.

    It used to be the Cardinals just because I couldn’t stand La Russa. Outside of that, I feel I’d hate to lose to the Cubs more at this point because of Counsell, but that’s about it. I live in a pretty split Cardinals/Cubs area, but far enough away from the stadium atmosphere that the interactions with fans of both have been mostly positive.
  13. CheeseheadInQC
    That's pretty exhaustive. The only other ones that stood out to me (although I don't know if any would get any votes). If you like close-to-the-big-leagues relievers: Mark Manfredi If you like pitchers who don't end up completely demoralized by the ACL: Diustin Mayorquin, Chase Bentley If you're buying the last few outings and willing to overlook his start to the season: Carlos Carra And then the yet to debut Frank Cairone.

    Looking at Fangraphs, among guys with 30% high A K rates the last 15 years, Elly De La Cruz is the gold standard. Then you get to your inconsistent year to year types (Tyler O’Neill, Lawrence Butler). A lot managed to make the big leagues, but not a ton of sustained success.
  15. CheeseheadInQC
    Baez and Tyler Rodriguez were two who immediately sprang to mind. I will say, most of the guys with Martinez’s combination of contact skills, age and passable ISO in the ACL league-wide post-pandemic who quickly struggled when they reached full season ball were players like Baez, who almost never walked. While his walk rates haven’t been exceptional, they have also never seemed out of line with what you would expect from someone who strikes out as rarely as he does.
  16. CheeseheadInQC
    There’s the cycle, but not for Frias. Is there a chance that Juan Martinez is the latest hit over power guy I get overly high on after they crush the ACL? Yes. Do I care? At this point, no.
  17. CheeseheadInQC
    I don’t know if something similar has been posted elsewhere, but the Brewers have 4.5 fWAR from pitchers 25 and younger, more than 1.5 WAR ahead of any other team. The Yankees are second with 2.7 (all Schlittler) and the Blue Jays third at 2.5. Five teams have negative fWAR and three have 0 (four if you count the Mariners, who have no pitchers in the age range). The Brewers are on pace for the most fWAR in this category since the Hudson-Mulder-Zito A’s.

    @Brock Beauchamp Can you add Handelfry Encarnacion?
  20. CheeseheadInQC
    Could Wednesdays be used to balance out the schedule (I could be wrong, but I think there are 15 teams)?
  21. CheeseheadInQC
    Just looking at Fangraphs, they’ve got the his overall contact rate at 69.6, which isn’t great, but is better than last year so far at a higher level.
  22. CheeseheadInQC
    While a lot might have changed since then (or they might have felt compelled to get the new arrivals stateside more action), it feels based on the spring training lineups that you’d be looking at Antunez, Frias and Fenelon as the primary outfielders, three of Hughes, Acosta, Martinez and Liao at 2nd, SS and 3rd, Mills behind the plate, with some other interesting names manning the first base and backup spots. Hoping some of remaining players from the absurd Made/Pena led class can make their presence felt (Martinez, Rangel, Paulino, possibly a few others). Excited to see Diustin Mayorquin making his stateside debut as well.
  23. CheeseheadInQC
    It almost seems like it will be disappointing on nights Wisconsin doesn’t score at least 8 runs at this point.
  24. CheeseheadInQC
    The strikeout rate is what I am guessing keeps him in Appleton a few more weeks. Now Josh Adamczewski on the other hand, I keep checking for that promotion every day.
  25. CheeseheadInQC
    Have we seen an ABS challenge on a hit by pitch yet? It would be kind of hilarious to have one overturned because the pitch was actually a strike.
