  1. Germany took advantage of 3 early errors by China to build a 6-2 lead, then added 6 more runs in the 7th inning to win 12-2 by mercy rule. C Yannic Walther went 0-for-3 (line out, fly out, reached on fly out error) and was 0-for-1 attempting to throw out basestealers. Colombia prevailed 5-0 over Brazil in the other match-up. Today at 12:00pm CST, Germany (1-0) faces Brazil (0-1), with Colombia (1-0) and China (0-1) playing at 7:00pm CST.
  2. The second set of WCB qualifiers are commencing this minute in Tucson, Arizona, with 20-year old Brewers’ catcher Yannic Walther starting Germany’s opening game (and hitting clean-up!) against China:
  3. Thanks for these updates @Jim Goulart. I wonder when we’ll see Brock Wilken…
  4. I really thought we’d trade him at the 2023 trade deadline, given how much we prize defense. He had a .946 OPS with 47 SBs in AA ball at the time (July 30, 2023), so I thought we could sell high. Hopefully he figures it all out this year nonetheless.
  5. We've up to Game 3 of Spring Training, so I must now ask: Where's Tyler Black?
  6. Nicaragua punches their ticket to the March 2026 WBC with a 6-0 victory. They allowed just 2 runs in 29 innings across 3 games.
  7. SS Freddy Zamora is contributing both ways and Nicaragua leads Chinese Taipei 3-0 through 6 innings:
  8. Interesting signing. We’ve got some options for the final 4 position player spots: Durbin, Dunn (I’m not sold), Canha, Black (also not sold), Monasterio, Bauers, Capra, Collins, Hicklen, Martinez.
  9. The final group match is Nicaragua (2-0) against Chinese Taipei (1-1). Spain finished with a 2-1 record, while conceding 8 total runs (the main tiebreaker). Nicaragua can automatically qualify for the 2026 WBC with a victory OR by holding Chinese Taipei to 6 or fewer runs. Otherwise they’ll drop to 2nd or 3rd place in the group and play a win-or-else re-match against Chinese Taipei for the 2nd qualifying spot:
  10. Two games, two 2-1 walk-off victories in 10 innings for Nicaragua, this time defeating Spain. Spain had 2 or more runners on with 1 out in each of the 8th, 9th and 10th innings, but failed to push a run across. SS Freddy Zamora (0-for-2, 2 walks) made a nifty play here:
  11. The Nicaragua vs. Spain contest is underway and can be watched live:
  12. Former Mudcat 1B/C Satchell Norman signed with the Schaumberg Boomers of the independent Frontier League Former Shucker 2B Felix Valerio signed with the Ottawa Titans of the same league
  13. Nicaragua walks it off in the 10th to defeat South Africa 2-1. SS Freddy Zamora was 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI.
  14. Nicaragua’s is on the board, thanks to a SS Freddy Zamora RBI single in the bottom of the 7th inning. He then appeared to score on a balk for a 2-1 lead, but was instead called out on a hidden ball trick. Chaos.
  15. Nicaragua (including SS Freddy Zamora) and South Africa kick off WBC Qualifiers tonight at 10:00pm CST, with the game available live on YouTube:
  16. The classic “Are You My Mother?” book, but for the Brewers’ 3rd base job. Then she met Tyler Black. Are YOU my third baseman? No, coach said I’m playing first base. I am not your third basemen. So away she went. Then she met Caleb Durbin. Are YOU my third basemen? No, I don’t have the arm strength to play third base. I am not your third baseman. So away she went. Then she saw Sal Frelick…
  17. Justin Turner went to the Cubs for $6m, plus a potential $2.5m incentives. Brendan Rodgers went to the Astros on a minor league deal.
  18. Arizona Fall League: Top 20 Bats - Nice to see Caleb Durbin, Luis Lara and Juan Baez, though he categorizes Durbin as “more of a utility prospect”. Also, we hope Brock Wilken (not featured) turns over a new leaf in 2025.
  19. I’m just hoping he’s healthy after only facing 7 MLB batters in Sep/Oct. I’m also still surprised we burned his 2nd option year.
  20. At this point, I’m starting to guess that our under-the-radar 3B target is actually Sal Frelick. My bad idea of the week is to sign Justin Turner to be a primary DH and backup 3B/1B. Maybe he can find some more EV and HR than he had last year, like Cutch and Winker rediscovering how to hit again after leaving the Crew.
  21. If Jeferson Quero isn't ready to catch (Quero's comeback already drawing quite the buzz in AZ) to start the MILB season, maybe Ramon Rodriguez (65 career AAA PAs, 163 career AA PAs) will join Jorge Alfaro and Nick Kahle (56 career AAA PAs, 263 career AA PAs) in Nashville. These guys had better be able to handle the Yoho and Mis balls coming their way, which is no easy task.
  22. - RHP Sam Gardner released by AA Biloxi An undrafted free agent signing out of independent ball in May 2023, the now 28-year old Gardner was one of the top relief pitchers in the whole of Minor League Baseball over the past 2 seasons (2.20 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 12.3 K/9 in 81.2 IP, including an astounding 0.87 WHIP in AA ball last year). This hurts. Gardner was placed on the injured list on August 18, 2024, so perhaps this release is injury-related.
  23. Great eye all around, including on the AA outfield question. Apart from Lara and O'Rae, it looks to me like we've got a 4-man camp battle: Bladimir Restituyo, Eduardo Garcia, Adam Hall and Garrett Spain. This may bring back memories of Isaac Collins, Felix Valerio and Ethan Murray splitting 2nd base duties early in Biloxi's 2023 campaign. And Zavier Warren is older than all of them, so I've no idea what we'll do with him.
