    Bitonti looks amped. LOL. He is putting together a solid AB after two initial half swing check strikes on high heaters. Fouled off several. BUT, chases a really nice breaking ball down and away for a swinging K.
  2. Joseph Zarr
    I wasn't lying: Bitonti is debuting at 1B in Zebulon tonight Tuesday 7/30. 🥰
  3. Joseph Zarr
    Three up and three down for Rodriguez in the 2nd - he grabs his first K swinging and missing sandwiched between two hard hit line outs (to 2B and deep to the fringe of the LF warning track for Castillo).
  4. Joseph Zarr
    Adamczewski flashing the leather - snaring a hard hit liner with a quick leap. Rodriguez is definitely hanging the off-speed to these left bats. Gotta sharpen that location up if he wants to see this outing go into his patented 5th/6th inning mix.
  5. Joseph Zarr
    Luis Castillo worked real quick like to come back to Earth. He swings and whiffs at a high inside heater (well above the zone) and strikes out on three pitches. On to the 2nd inning.

    "The pitch to Juan Baez who swings at the first pitch..." And, the sun rises and sets and the moon rises into the sky. Life on Earth. The Juan Baez story.

    Wait, shouldn't I say @wiguy94: Are you sure your eyes are OK? That ball was smoked at 68 mph!
  8. Joseph Zarr
    68 mph of scorching wet noodle 😅

    Yoshwar Garcia bobbles an easy gather in CF on a shallow line drive single but he manages to fire a dart to 2B to grab the runner trying to take the extra base. Some sloppy early defense in Zebulon. They avoid further damage, however, and only trail 1-0 off the DiTuri error.
  10. Joseph Zarr
    Manuel Rodriguez faces three lefties right off the bat. Fly out to the RF warning track. Hanging breaking ball smacked into RF for a double. Groundout to Adamczewski at 2B handled cleanly. 2 outs - runner advances to 3B. A righty in clean-up with the man on 3B. AND DiTuri gets eaten up by a very routine grounder for the third out. Has to make that play. Weakly hit. Botched it - a 68 mph ball. Run scores via error. 1-0 score. AND, Rodriguez has to waste more of that precious starting arm. That was a lazy gather and the error showed such. Ohhhh Mr. Pratt how we miss that smooth sure thing! 😅

    Last Minor League tidbit (given our Deadline passed with no action): Bitonti is playing 1B for the Mudcats tonight batting clean-up (he hasn't played an inning of 1B in his entire time in the ACL but I mentioned this was his clear easiest way to get in the Mudcats line-up given their overt lack of depth there) and he is being protected by Adamczewski playing 2B and batting 5th. THIS is very exciting.

    Well, let's be honest: he's a ways off from earning any spot in the Brewers clubhouse based on defensive anything. BUT, getting him meaningful reps in the OF grass prepares him for possibly filling a role yet this season. Injuries happen. You never know. Selfishly, as a Minor League nerd, I simply want to see more reps. Is my intuition and read on this situation accurate? OR, is it fool's gold based on too few reps? I'm hoping I can learn with repeated games in Nashville manning an OF spot.

    This just in: As I opined (and suspected) post-Wiemer in the Montas deal...Tyler Black is getting his first action in LF since the 2022 Arizona Fall League. I'll say it again: the OF grass certainly appears to be his best chance at becoming an MLB utility player. His athleticism really plays out there and the decisions have just a little more time to breathe. We need to see how he tracks and jumps and reads angles on a more consistent basis to make any truly informed proclamations but I've actually quite liked what I've seen in his limited exposure. This is an intriguing development happening on the fringes of the upper org depth chart(s).

    I am wearing a new set of shorts. I'll never tell why! NEVER!
  15. Joseph Zarr
    As I mentioned in the Montas trade: The unexpected perk of seeing Wiemer head back to Cincinnati in the Montas deal is Black now becomes a major candidate to bolster the OF corps. I've said it several times recently and I'll say it again here: I personally believe the OF grass is Black's best chance to become a meaningful utility player. His innate athletic gifts play very well out there where I've seen him track down several challenging deep flies in his limited action. Now, hopefully, we get to see him get more exposure. How are his jumps and reads of the bats? How will his arm play? This is an exciting mini development.

    My main excitement from today? INF Luis Pena was pulled in the DSL Cerveceros Uno game. He was 0-for-4 with 1 K (a very rare 0-for outing). I was legitimately lamenting possibly throwing this major-upside talent in to some type of starter rental deal. I can rest easy. The stud stays in the Brewers infield stables!
  17. Joseph Zarr
    With prices as high as they were, I'm completely fine with this Deadline. This is always an experience year and see where the chips fall if they get to the post-season. I definitely didn't want to mortgage the future. I still feel as though 2025 is our best shot - everything in 2024 is Bonus Slot money in my mind.
  18. Joseph Zarr
    Love that heart of the line-up! Also, a friendly reminder: we still have yet to receive word on the severity of what happened to CF Yophery Rodriguez in that run and halt down the 1B line early in that Salem series. Is it minor? Is it serious? Is it a hammy? Let's keep our fingers crossed!

    The DSL Brewers Uno y Dos have scored the exact same number of runs so far in 2024. 219 apiece though the DSL Brewers #1 have played one fewer game. The DSL Brewers Uno y Dos have definitely not allowed the same number of runs. The DSL Brewers #1 have allowed 145 runs. The DSL Brewers #2 have allowed 212 runs. AND, that right there is very very much the difference between the two squads.
  20. Joseph Zarr
    The Crew #2 flew out three consecutive AB's to strand their 11th inning Manfred Man. They opened the bottom half of the 11th with a lead-off Dodgers Mega Double to Lafond in LF but the runner didn't score from 2B (must have been too close to leave the bag). Credit to Lafond for getting the ball back in. AND, then a classic DSL inning really finished it off for the Crew #2's Loss: Strikeout, fly out to CF (same runner who didn't score from 2B on the lead-off 2B doesn't score via Sac Fly here). Runners on 2B and 3B. Two down. Walk. Walk. Game over. Ahhhhh yes. The 'L' will go to 17-year-old RHP Francisco Guevara. It's been a struggle for Guevara in his 10 G. BUT, given both runs surrendered today by Guevara were Manfred's Men they were unearned. His 17.55 ERA will actually lower in his 1 2/3 IP to 14.04. The 2.70 WHIP will likely stay about the same given he allowed 2 H and 2 BB in his outing. The DSL Brewers #2 fall again. They sit at 20-19 overall now losers of three straight.
  21. Joseph Zarr
    The Brewers #2 got the quick first out force out at 3B. They had the upper hand. But that runner at first then took 2B. A pop out to 1B Eduardo Charles had the Dodgers Mega down to their last out. They hit a single into RF. 8-8 and they are now in the 11th frame. These updates come in a flurry after 20 minute delays with the limited Data.
  22. Joseph Zarr
    Ummmm, yeah I'm here for this:
  23. Joseph Zarr
    We have a DSL Special inning going on in the 10th. The DSL Crew #2 start with their man (Polanco) on 2B. Quintana pops out to SS. The pitcher attempts a pick-off and throws into CF. Runner advances. Anderson pops out to 1B. Montero singles to 3B and Polanco scores. 8-7 Crew. Tovar going for the Crew #2's pop out infield cycle pops out to SS. A ball doesn't leave the infield off a bat and the Crew scores the go-ahead run.
  24. Joseph Zarr
    Camilo worked around heavy traffic in the bottom of the 9th but, ultimately, struck out the final batter to leave the Dodgers bases dripping. 7-7 game.
  25. Joseph Zarr
    You know. I appreciate that level of detail. I wrote that. I knew it was fairly inaccurate. BUT, I am with my 6 yo and gave it the ol 'Pffffft. What is she doing on that table?!?' and let it go. Let the baseball Akashic records show, however, that you indeed are correct.
