    Halfway through their game, the Timber Rattlers are being out-hit 9-1 and trail 4-0. Lots of work to do. C’mon bats!!
  2. Ro Mueller
    Will Childers of the Mudcats pummeled: 8 R, 12 H (6 extra-base hits) in 4.1 IP. Just one K. I can’t help thinking that Lara (now with Wisconsin) must be a pivotal player/glue-guy. This team is too talented to be losing 9-0 to anyone. Time to turn over a better leaf next week.

    AAA Nashville aims to close out a 5-1 series win at Gwinnett, with RHP Janson Junk (4.37 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 6.0 K/9 in 111.1 IP) getting the start today. After a rest day, LF Keston Hiura and his 1.070 August OPS (84 PAs) return to the lineup.
  4. Ro Mueller
    Low-A Carolina also strives for a series clinching home win today against Columbia. RHP Will Childers (5.26 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 6.9 K/9 in 49.2 IP) starts the finale. 19-year old CF Dylan O’Rae has hit safely in 18 of his last 19 games.
  5. Ro Mueller
    High-A Wisconsin goes for a 4-2 home series win over Quad Cities, with 21-year old RHP Edwin Jimenez (4.09 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 8.8 K/9 in 101.1 IP) getting the start. 3B Mike Boeve has 29 RBIs in 25 games played.

    To me, there’s no point calling up Toro if we won’t play him at 3B/2B. If we’re calling up someone who’s not permitted to play defense (Toro, Hiura, Winker), then Hiura should come up by virtue of having the best bat. But if we intend to call up someone who can play in the field, then I guess the choice is between Owen Miller or Jahmai Jones. We’ll see…

    After using 14 pitchers and one position player to pitch over the past 3 days, it’s natural to wonder “Who’s left?” to pitch for the ACL Brewers in the championship game. Well, I see five guys left, two of which have thrown 4 innings in a game this year: - Brailin Rodriguez - 21 - 8.16 ERA - 4 IP max this year - Felipe De Los Santos - 20 - 7.71 ERA - 4 IP max - Anfernny Reyes - 19 - 4.85 ERA - 3.1 IP max - Craig Yoho (8th round pick - reliever) - 23 - 10.13 ERA - 1 IP max - Isaiah Jackson (undrafted signee - reliever) - 21 - 6.75 ERA - 1 IP max Of course, some pitchers used in prior games will likely be available for an inning or two - e.g. Mark Manfredi, Manuel Rodriguez, Blake Whiting. But if we expect/need anyone to go long, Brailin, Felipe and Anfernny are the logical guys. I’d predict that Brailin gets the start.

    Yeah, the team can go any number of ways with the Sep 1 call-up. My original comment above on Lauer was only in terms of MLB starter depth. I’m one of those who wanted to see Lauer limited to 2 innings/appearance in AAA, so as to develop him into a terrific MLB relief option down the stretch. The fact that we’ve opted for long outings for him makes me think that Lauer’s actually less likely to get the Sep 1 call-up, instead being held as reserve starting depth in AAA. But I won’t mind if he gets the call. I won’t get my hopes up on Gasser as a Sep 1 call-up after what happened with Frelick last year. That said, I’d love to see him get the call. He leads AAA in strikeouts and could be incredibly effective in relief, especially if it came with a slight velocity tick-up.
  9. Ro Mueller
    WANT to see: Hiura, Gasser. THINK we’ll see: Miller, Andrews.

    To me, he’s like Brian Navarreto - AAA cap / future coach. This is Sibrian’s 8th season of MILB ball. He’s doing awesome things defensively for Low-A Carolina and also having a nice offensive season. This is helping player development at that level, but I don’t believe there’s any view of this carrying up to MLB, I’m sorry to say.
  11. Ro Mueller
    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.
  12. Ro Mueller
    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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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...
  16. 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.
  17. Ro Mueller
    Problem. C Jeferson Quero comes out of the game in the top of the 6th inning after a foul ball.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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!!
  22. 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!!
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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
