    He has the athleticism and raw power to eventually make the major leagues, starting against right-handers. It’s odd that it’s taken him 7 MILB seasons to finally play even a little bit of AA ball - this is a quirk of the Covid year, oddly-delayed promotion then late season injury while raking in 2021 Low-A, 2022 injuries, terrible start to 2023. He’ll reach minor league free agency this offseason and I don’t believe there’s much chance of us adding him to the 40-man MLB roster. So we’ll either re-sign him like Erceg and Sibrian last offseason or see him continue his baseball journey elsewhere.

    I’m speaking in terms of if/when the Brewers need a starting pitcher - I believe they’d want that starter to be highly capable of giving them 6-7 innings. Lauer’s not quite there yet, having gone 5 IP and 4.2 IP in his last 2 outings. He’s not reached 6 IP in any outing since April, whereas Rea (on MLB 40-man roster) and McKendry (likely 40-man add in Nov 2023, so could naturally be added now) have done it severally. For service time, my understanding is that Lauer’s been down long enough, so he can’t complete his 5th service time year if called up now. I believe that gives us the extra year of arbitration/control. Assuming no MLB starter is injured, any of Rea, McKendry, Lauer, Mejia (if healthy), Andrews, Small, Sousa, Bukauskas, Junk, Abad, Claudio or Vieira could be added on September 1st. But if we actually need a starting pitcher on relatively short notice, I believe that Rea is the man (at this immediate time), followed by McKendry, then Lauer, then Teheran, largely based on demonstrated ability to deliver a long start right now.

    It's looking like a complete reversal of the Brewers' Friday minor league results, as the Sounds fell tonight and ACL Brewers are down 7-1, but Carolina and Biloxi were victorious and the Timber Rattlers lead 12-4.
  4. Ro Mueller
    Leading 3-2, Biloxi faced down a 2nd and 3rd, 1-out situation in the top of the 7th inning (Nick Bennett and Ryan Middendorf induced 2 groundouts), then Jackson Chourio knocked in 2 insurance runs with an RBI single in the bottom half of the inning. 5-2 Shuckers lead in the 8th inning.
  5. Ro Mueller
    Miguel Guerrero and the Rattlers gave up 3 runs in the 4th inning as Guerrero extended himself to 54 pitches, but Robert Moore and Luis Lara immediately responded in their typical manner: singles, stolen bases, runs scored. Mike Boeve and Joe Gray Jr. had RBI singles - they're a combined 3-for-5 with 6 RBIs thus far. Wisconsin leads 9-3 going into the 5th inning. Guerrero's still pitching...
  6. Ro Mueller
    Christian Mejias got in a 6th inning pickle (HBP, single), then Nick Bennett came in with one out and gave up back-to-back singles. Shuckers lead 3-2 now, going into the bottom of the 6th inning. I assume the plan is to get several innings out of Bennett, if he's up to the task.
  7. Ro Mueller
    Problem. C Jeferson Quero comes out of the game in the top of the 6th inning after a foul ball.
  8. Ro Mueller
    The Rattlers have erupted for 5 runs in the 3rd inning to push their lead to 6-0! 4 singles and 2 walks were enough to do the damage. Robert Moore started it with a single. Luis Lara has singled, walked, stole a base, scored a run. It's the 3rd inning and 7 of 9 Wisconsin players have a hit, while Boeve walked - only Brown is searching for his first appearance on base. RHP Miguel Guerrero is doing the heavy lifting after Blalock exited with an injury after 2 batters.
  9. Ro Mueller
    Nashville's down 4-1 in the 9th inning, going 0-for-8 with RISP and stranding 10 thus far. Really blew the 6th inning, 1st and 3rd with nobody out - didn't score. Also stranded 3 baserunners in the 7th inning, but they all went aboard with 2 outs. Just don't seem to have the edge offensively today, unfortunately.
  10. Ro Mueller
    Isaac Collins was a late pre-game substitute for Carlos D. Rodriguez, so we'll have to watch Rodriguez's status going forward. Collins singled, stole second and ultimately scored on a passed ball in the 1st inning. Then Felix Valerio hit a 2-run homer in the 2nd inning. Ernesto Martinez has 2 hits and a run scored. The defense is doing a lot to support Christian Mejias thus far (GIDP; outfield assist by Collins to get a runner at home). Shuckers lead 3-0 in the 4th inning.
  11. Ro Mueller
    Lauer with three straight walks to likely, unfortunately, end his 4 2/3 innings. I'd say he's fully stretched out at 92 pitches. I guess he's MLB starting depth for Wade Miley, though I still think we'd call up Rea and even McKendry ahead of him at the moment. Gasser would also be ahead of Lauer, in my opinion, but I won't allow myself to believe his call up is even a possibility, after what happened with Frelick last year. Sounds trail 3-1 going into the 6th inning. Time to turn it around!!
  12. Ro Mueller
    C Jose Sibrian has gunned down 3 baserunners in 3 innings, yet the Mudcats trail 2-1. Jace Avina singled in our run. C’mon men!!
  13. Ro Mueller
    The AAA Sounds have won 5 straight and have LHP Eric Lauer (2.93 ERA with 23 Ks in 15.1 IP since return to Nashville) on the hill in Gwinnett tonight. 3B Tyler Black has a 16-game on-base streak.
  14. Ro Mueller
    AA Biloxi trails their home series 4-0 against Pensacola and has RHP Christian Mejias (7.19 ERA with 110 Ks in 101.1 IP) starting tonight. DH Wes Clarke is tie for 2nd in the organization with 21 HRs.
  15. Ro Mueller
    - RHP Jacob Misiorowski placed on AA Biloxi’s 7-day injured list - RHP Kaleb “Bo” Bowman activated from AA Biloxi’s 7-day injured list - LHP Darrell Thompson assigned to AA Biloxi from AAA Nashville
  16. Ro Mueller
    Wisconsin is tied 2-2 in their home series against Quad Cities, with 22-year old RHP Bradley Blalock (2.85 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 10.0 K/9 in 66.1 IP) starting Game 5 tonight. 3B Brock Wilken has acclimated well in 20 High-A games: .265 AVG / .419 OBP / .412 SLG in 86 PAs.
  17. Ro Mueller
    RHP Logan Henderson (2.82 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 12.0 K/9 in 67 IP) makes his 17th start of the year, striving to lead Carolina to a 3-2 series lead at home against Columbia. 20-year old LF Jace Avina has a .992 OPS over his last 147 PAs.
  18. Ro Mueller
    Gotta protect that arm. I guess we may not see him again until MILB Spring Training lineups in March. For now, Nick Bennett will probably go back to starting. Might as well shift Julio Teheran's rehab to Biloxi as well.
  19. Ro Mueller
    9-up, 9-down for Stripers starter Michael Soroka against Nashville. We appear to have our hands full in this game, trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the 3rd inning.
  20. Ro Mueller
    If Carolina's going to make the playoffs, it certainly helps to have 1B Jesus Chirinos around. His 2nd inning solo homer gives the good guys a 1-0 lead.
  21. Ro Mueller
    It probably won't happen, but I suggest that we promote SS Eric Brown Jr. to AA: Lineups are too imbalanced at the moment: AA Biloxi: 12 position players (just 5 infielders) + 16 pitchers; High-A Wisconsin: 15 position players (8 infielders) + 15 pitchers Brown will already be 23 in December, so might as well get a taste of AA now before being a fixture there next season Brown's game is speed, defense and contact hitting, so he shouldn't struggle too much when moved up Moving him up will free up immediate playing time for INFs Eduardo Garcia, Ben Metzinger, Jheremy Vargas and Jose Acosta, with Garcia and Robert Moore sharing shortstop duties at Wisconsin to close out this season
  22. Ro Mueller
    AAA Nashville looks for a 4th straight win at Gwinnett, with league strikeout leader LHP Robert Gasser getting the start. 3B Abraham Toro has a 14-game hitting streak.
  23. Ro Mueller
    Low-A Carolina seeks its 3rd straight home win over Columbia, with RHP Patricio Aquino (3.11 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 8.8 K/9 in 75.1 IP) getting tonight’s start. LF Tayden Hall has a 13-game hitting streak.
  24. Ro Mueller
    CF Jackson Chourio has homered in 2 straight games and LHP Adam Seminaris returns from injury for his first AA ball since May 17, as Biloxi needs a home win over Pensacola to claw back to 1-3 in this week’s series.
  25. Ro Mueller
    SS Eric Brown Jr. returns to the lineup and Julio Teheran makes his first rehab start, as High-A Wisconsin seeks a 3-1 series lead at home against Quad Cities.
