  1. Thread will be utilized for any minor league news Tuesday. Organizational Scoreboard MiLB Audio Links
  2. I am so here for the LHP Aaron Ashby RHP Joe Russ bullpen renaissance. They have been fantastic of late. We need all the solidity with strikeout threats in those pivotal multi-inning scenarios. Bodes very well for pulling starters in playoff series should the need arise.
  3. RHP Adrian Houser has been signed to another Minor League contract as his merry-go-round 2024 MLB tour continues. The Orioles signed Houser after the Cubs of Wrigleyville recently released him.
  4. Absolutely. It's certainly not his best role by any stretch - it was proven last year and then again this year. He's best as a middle-innings reliever and he's done quite well in that role. The Biscuits give this Shuckers team fits (as well as most other teams in the North division). If you want to look at where this series was truly lost it was the bullpen blow-up of Childers and Yeager in game 3. If they hold serve it's a 3-3 series split. You pair that blown opportunity and the 1-5 series mark vs Mississippi just two series ago and that is why the Shuckers are barely holding on to their playoff 'lead'. And, as a direct aside, the move to place RHP Shane Smith back on restricted innings in addition to the Wichrowski injury have really impacted the staff significantly. I have to imagine the Smith maneuver had to do with saving his arm and putting his health at the forefront. He can obviously fill in as a starter and fare quite well in doing so.
  5. CF Yophery Rodriguez picked up his 15th OF Assist today. I don't know where that stands in Low-A but I have to think that's near the top of the leaderboard. His defense continues to be the most consistent high-quality part of his game.
  6. Clean 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K for rehabbing LHP Hoby Milner.
  7. I see we got 'that' version of RHP Yerlin Rodriguez today. Sigh. Just so many sighs. 1 1/3 IP, 4 H, 4 BB, 1 WP, 2 K, 8 R (5 ER) The struggles absolutely continue.
  8. No doubt about it. The T-Rats have largely been dominated. Hopefully, the medicine they'll need for their likely first round playoff opponent.
  9. AND the 2nd in 2024. Carolina Mudcat OF Yhoswar Garcia stole his 60th and 61st bases at Lynchburg earlier this past week. Put some respect on his name.
  10. Old friend INF Pablo Reyes had his contract selected by the New York Mets after last year's prolonged cup of coffee with the Boston Red Sox. Here's hoping Reyes catches fire for the Wild Card chasing NL team out East. Interestingly, a roster spot was opened when ol' Brewer friend OF Ben Gamel was DFA'd to Syracuse earlier this month. Gamel was claimed by the Houston Astros.
  11. INF Christian Arroyo has (not so) quietly gone 10-for-30 over his past 30 AB and is 2-for-3 tonight with a key 2-RBI single to LF in the Sound's 7th to give his squad a 6-4 game. Gotta love it.
  12. You have to love Peterson coming through like this. He's been routinely showing signs but has been struggling with 2nd and 3rd times through and has struggled locating off-speed. Tonight's outing is a huge boon for the Shuckers pitching staff.
  13. Quad Cities laying it on the T-Rats early yet again. 4-0 River Bandits lead headed to the 2nd. A solo shot and a two run triple were the primary culprits in RHP Will Rudy's first frame of work.
  14. I continue to think the 'Beach Chickens' look is the best look in Biloxi. That 80's Miami Vice teal with the pink accent is just so choice. I really hope they favor this moving forward.
  15. Old friend and previous everyday Brewers 3B before spending time at Nashville (and key cog to the RHP Bradley Blalock trade who is now the RHP Nick Mears via trade) - Luis Urias has had his contract selected by the Seattle Mariners.
  16. I couldn't agree more. Those are solid solid backstops. Garcia and Rodriguez are just really solid players. Both upgrades over my previous favorite low level vet in C Jose Sibrian (may he flourish!). You know how I feel about Navs. Such an underrated player. His peripherals never look intriguing but he is a clutch clutch hitter and his defense is second to none. I love me some Navarreto.
  17. The easier juxtaposition here is: I point you to one RHP Justin Jarvis and his journey from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse. The struggle is real. I understand the pratfalls. You will never taint my love of 'The Shookster'. Undaunted.
  18. I see LHP Tyler Jay came aboard as the fill-in for McKendry's bases loaded no out scenario and he proceeded to give up a lead-off double. Jay has been generally acceptable at Triple-A Nashville. That trade will just never never make sense to me. At all. 'The Shookster' in Double-A Binghamton? 13 1/3 IP, 17 K, 3 BB, 2 HB, 7 H, 0 HR, 2 W, 1 L, 4 SVO, 4 SV, 1 Hold, 0.152 BAA, 0.75 WHIP, 1.35 ERA There was zero reason to let this type of upside go for a journeyman AAAA arm. Zero. You can not convince me otherwise. Shook can pitch any role for you and he is just coming into his own with a very very solid four pitch mix. Plus, he's four years younger.
  19. Well, I'm not going to be upset about any player doing what they want for their careers. However, I appreciate solid Minor League depth players and possible break outs across the affiliates. C Ramon Rodriguez and C David Garcia? Sign me up. RHP Sam Carlson? Sign me up. OF's Lamar Sparks and Connor Scott? Sign me up. Etc. etc. Heck, I'm all aboard the let's see what we have in RHP Mitch White grab bag if we start him as a starting pitcher. You're darn straight I want Carlos D. Rodriguez, Chris Roller, Owen Miller, RHP Taylor Clarke and Mejia and Navarreto back in Nasvhille. The reality is, the majority of these players will likely go elsewhere. I don't have illusions about blue chip prospects but I've seen enough happen over the years where I know if we start with solid players and decent depth there will be unexpected breakouts and players helping at the MLB level.
  20. Boy, there are several players in this Mix I'd love to see come back and wear a Brewers affiliated uniform. Lottttta solid Minor League players above.
  21. Indeed although the circumstances of Baez being out are concerning.
  22. Alas, the return of the 'Beach Chickens' - the highlight of the homestand. LHP Nate Peterson takes the bump for another go at a start. It has very much been sink or swim for Peterson in 2024 so let's hope he can at least make it two times through this problematic Biscuits batting order. WIlken sits for the second conseuctive game after his mysterious disappearance in game three's ninth inning. CF Adam Hall returns after last night's ejections. 2B Dylan O'Rae plays for the second consecutive night in lead-off as he appears to have moved past his brief hip malady after swiping second base last weekend. Let's see if the Shuckers bats can give us an anomalous break out performance!
  23. The T-Rats trail the Quad City River Bandits 3-1 in their six game Homestand. It certainly hasn't been easy through four games. After RHP Ryan Birchard's abbreviated struggles last night, we'll hope to see steady RHP Will Rudy give his team a solid outing to steady the ship. 2B Jadher Areinamo is back in the lead-off spot with SS Eduardo Garcia continuing to bat second on a night-after-night basis. CF Luis Lara bats third again with 1B Jesus Chirinos once again batting clean-up and bringing his glove to first base. I am pretty keen on the C Ramon Rodriguez to LF Hedbert Perez 5 and 6 spots. Let's hope the T-Rats can turn this series around and head toward a split.
