  1. Walling tags to 2B on a fly out to RF off the bat of Luis Castillo. That must have gone to the warning track or deep foul territory? One down. Walling on 2B.
  2. Walling opens the 4th frame with a single and his BA is back above the Mendoza Line. Let's go, Reece!
  3. Ahhhh yes. That's a salient point! (Still dreaming of that flight to High-A Wisco despite your logical wisdom here!)
  4. Rivero works around a single to CF and a fielding error by 1B Reece Walling (his 6th of his season) getting a fly out to Yophery Rodriguez on the CF grass. Meanwhile, After two XBH's last night, Mr. Wiemer just worked the count full and took a free pass. Men on 1st and 2nd. Nobody down for Isaac Collins.
  5. We are underway in hot and humid Memphis. Upper 90's. Likely feels like 115 or more with that humidity. Black opens with a 1-1 single line drive into CF. His red hot play continues since being optioned.
  6. Rivero opens his third frame with his 4th K. On three pitches. Hoo-Ha!
  7. They're showing the Redbirds walk-off last night now that the warm up is well underway. What an atrocioius pitch by LHP Nick Bennett. I mean that was the very definition of an off-speed hanger. Good gracious. So much pain to re-watch. LOL.
  8. Guilarte struck out for the 2nd time batting lead-off tonight. Di Turi followed with a two-out ground rule double in his 2nd AB.
  9. Ground out to 3B (Guilarte) to end the frame. That's 2 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 3 K for the young Rivero. 1-0 Muddies and we are on to the 3rd frame.
  10. Full count to the next hitter. Foul ball on the sixth pitch. Pop out to 3B on the 7th pitch. Noice! Two down.
  11. Full count K to open Rivero's 2nd frame. The young man is dealing early. THIS is what he is capable of any outing. Let's hope he keeps it together. 3-of-4 outs by way of punch out early.
  12. Same, my friend. Same. We will always be the OG Walling Stans.
  13. Heck of a first frame from the young Rivero. He works around a second batter single by picking that runner off at 2B (stole 2B, obviously) and then K'ng the third batter swinging on the third pitch.
  14. Rivero opened his first frame with a four pitch K swinging. Noice! Let's keep it going, young man!
  15. It twould be a logical guess, yah? I thought that immediately upon the Barrios trade. We shall see, my friend. We shall see. It would also open up a spot for Bitonti and Guilarte and Di Turi could slide into primary SS share.
  16. Rivero pitched a highly effective 4 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 7 K, 0 R back on May 31st vs Delmarva. Since that time? He's pitched four separate times (1 GS). 8.53 ERA over 6 1/3 IP. 2.37 WHIP. 10 BB. 8 K. 6 HB. To say this is an important outing underscores how every outing is important at present. He has found himself in the deep rough in 2024. As per usual, he can absolutely show those brilliant flashes, but the vast majority of his season has displayed his absolute lack of refinement of his tools. Boy, do I hope he can start taking steps. So much talent in that toolkit.
  17. This line-up really misses the excitement and unpredictability but immense bat-to-ball skill of Juan Baez. They just do. We've heard no updates. The injury was originally reported to not be too serious (in the very beginning of his IL stint) but it sure is taking the full breadth of time to heal. They really miss his timely hits.
  18. The FCL Pirates have to be tickled pink ol' Brewers farmhand INF Jhonny Severino (1B Carlos Santana trade - 2023) had a 8:7 K:BB ratio at the dish in June. He's apparently realllllly worked on that aspect of his game since last summer. He's sporting a very respectable 27:20 K:BB ratio on his FCL season over an official 130 AB. Also batting 0.277 with a 0.932 OPS. It certainly appears it was a good trade for both parties - for the Brewers it obviously helped settle their 2023 1B woes and for the Pirates it has very obviously given them a meaningful lottery ticket prospect who is flashing stateside.
  19. From Monday's Game Thread HERE: Nice to see him get organizational recognition to boot!
  20. He has made immense strides on that pitch since first drafted. He casually routinely touches 97 mph now - a far cry from his original Low-A work. He always had the arm side run on that offering but with the increased velo it has become an absolute monster of a pitch. AND, as per usual, this is also aided by an absurdly advanced change up. I personally always thought this type of evolution was possible. From the get go, he has shown an intensity and competitiveness few in the system match. And, he has an incredibly built lower half to help him achieve these numbers. Room to grow, to boot. 22 years old until March of 2025? He's as untouchable as they get in my eyes in terms of coveted Brewers prospects. I've been on this train from his first start in Carolina and have been absolutely front and center lamenting how ridiculously overlooked he'd been. People saw the injuries and the placement and overlooked what was clear as day from the actual work on the mound: Ace stuff.
  21. Also checked age before stating...young Buckaroos those early 30-somethings!🤭 (PS: W'ere Old.)
  22. - INF Gregory Barrios was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays for RHP Aaron Civale As always, we thank young Gregory for his time with the Brewers. He was a true joy to watch in 2024. May his best baseball be ahead of him!
  23. As to actual intel on the injuries, our best informed source on these goings ons is always @ARobsBrewCrew. Beyond that, we simply need to be patient and await news from either the player(s) or organizations themselves. Wisconsin and the team of Chris Mehring and Kyle Lobner are consistently at the forefront of our curiosities with their impeccable post-game podcasts often containing team-informed updates for the Timber Rattlers. Given the overt decrease in overall media efforts in Low-A Carolina since Greg Young Jr. departed earlier this season, we'll likely be hard-pressed to learn anything on Galindez unless we get an update from ARob. I don't recall hearing anything about Crow set-backs this year which is possibly the most important aspect of his ongoing recovery?
