WV Brew

Dave Schoenfield veiw Gives Texas an "A" for the trade and the Brewers a "C". Of course, we don't know the PTBN, which limits how you can really judge it. I think he gave the Will Smith deal a "B+" for both teams.

Victor Roache has, obviously, a limited number of at bats this year but AVG, OBP and SLG all are higher than Phillips'.

Trent Clark has been given time off for a family problem or words to that effect.

DSL Yankees2 6, DSL Brewers 4 Box Score Both teams scored 3 runs in the 1st inning but the Brewers could only manage one more and that one a gift. The Brewers were held to 4 hits in this game.

Game Log (not for the squeamish).

DSL Yankees2 11, DSL Brewers 5 Hopefully, the "Nice Arms" have more luck with the other affiliates than the DSL Brewers had today. 5 pitchers, Jose Alberro excepted (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K), were pretty much "off" today against the weak Yankees2 club. Offensively, Luis Manon (1-3, 3B, BB), Bryan Torres (2-4, 2B, SB), and Luis Avalo (2-4) had some success. Box Score Game Log

DSL Brewers 7, DSL Nationals 3 Johan Dominguez to the rescue: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 7 K, ERA now 1.80. Jesus Brea pitched the final 3 innings giving up 1 unearned run on 2 H, 0 BB, 2 K. The offense was led by Antonio Pinero (2-3, 2 BB, 2 SB), Moises Perez (2-4, 2B, BB), Luis Avalo (2-5), Javier Castillo (2-4) and Jesus Lujano (2-4). Perez caught today and there was one wild pitch. No sign of Jose Sibrian who has been out a few games now. Box Score Game Log

MLB Brewers top 30 really changed. Clint Coulter all the way down to 29 behind Chad McClanahan and Wendell Rijo, for example. Link

DSL Nationals 5, DSL Brewers 3 Box Score Jenri Montas got the start and took the loss going 3 1/3 innings giving up 3 runs. He gave up 5 hits, walked 3 and struck out none so not the best of outings.

A real meltdown there by Kodi Medeiros and Preston Gainey combined. Ouch.

That's exactly the guy that pitched in WI last season, I put his radar readings into a LR... with the exception of being consistently in trouble. edit. I'll guess Medeiros, but I could see Diplan and/or Peralta, I'm not huge fan of the mechanics from any of those young pitchers. My concern is why is he not throwing as hard this year? It's either some mechanical issue or an injury. Doesn't appear to be mechanics but who knows? I'm not watching, just listening over the radio.

I will go with Ponce also. I listened to yesterday's game and he is still throwing in the low 90s getting by with breaking stuff and moving the fastball around. Despite not giving up any runs, he was in trouble the whole game. Just isn't the same pitcher as last year.

I guess it's wrong to point out that Nick Ramirez has a higher OPS than the Sheriff. If he can't make it at catcher, he won't make it at all. Charlie Greene should be down there working with him every day.

DSL Rockies 5, DSL Brewers 3 (Regularly scheduled game) The Brewers managed only 2 hits and 1 walk in this 7 inning game. Moises Perez and Marcos Pinero both doubled. Jenri Montas went 4 1/3 in taking the loss. He had a great 6/0 K/BB game but gave up 10 hits and 3 runs. Box Score Game Log

He did not walk a batter and struck out 2. 3 pitchers followed. Check the box score for them. Noting momentous happened. Game Recap

Sthervin Matos was released. He had been playing outfield. Maybe they would put Gatewood out there? Seems strange though. Just when he seemed to be making progress at 3rd.

Luis Ovando triples (5) on a line drive to right fielder Bryan Connell. Luis Ovando scores. Missed catch error by catcher Luis Avalo. Well Luis Avalo will work on that catching defense. (or maybe just stick to first base). complete game recap

link Wow, they really threw the book at Christopher Correa in that Astros hacking case. Over $200K due in restitution plus 46 months. Now the Cardinals punishment?
