    Heck, they can get freaky now and seriously consider starting AJJr. as a cause massive Ron Artest havoc like at the 2. With epic rebounding and passing vision. He literally can be a slasher, put-back, lay-up/dunk getter. And defensive savant. They also have a FA open slot with two going out and can grab a PG FA like Cameron Payne.

    OH my Basketball Gods! This has literally been my one wish as a lifelong Bucks fan. And today, it is reality. I lived in PDX for 5 years. Saw Dame multiple times. This is my basketball Valhalla.

    Stiven Cruz over Alexander Cornielle? That's interesting. And, if we're going to put Quinton Low up there (as tantalizing as he has been in moments) we have to consider why Yerlin Rodriguez is ommitted - despite his struggles the last month he was fantastic for the great majority of 2023. Felix Valerio over Isaac Collins? Age discrepancies aside, 2023 proved Collins was a player you couldn't leave out of the line-up whereas Valerio - other than maybe a week of play - was a player you struggled to find a reason to put in the line-up. Unfortunately, this was just very true in 2023. Considering what we saw from RHP Tobias Myers in August and September - putting forth his best starting work of his season and dazzling in a brief bullpen role in Nashville - he should likely be added considering he may even be protected in the Rule 5 draft. His late work was that good. Considering how utterly good Yorman Galindez was when promoted from the ACL for Carolina's playoff push, he should likely be added as an option for folks. Lottttta thoughts from this ol' Brewers Minor League codger from his off-season front porch swing. And, of course, this is still me. Today. Many days removed from this sentiment. I am still coping with the losses of Garabitos and, now, Sibrian...my sweet catching Prince:

    And, RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez was also named the Southern League Pitcher of the Year. Heck of an honor!

    Da Brisbane Bandits and it was 7 players there. Alex Hall playing for Perth made it 8 total in the Aussie League, however - good on ya' for that recall! Of those sent, Hall and RHP Brennan Jordan are no longer with the organization (as we know). You know who else played for Perth? 3B Junior Caminero. Yep. That Caminero.

    Episode 425 of "MLB: The Show Before the Show" featured an interview with the Shuckers' manager, Mike Guerrero. Check it out HERE. Timestamps within. Needless to say, if you simply want to listen to Sam Dykstra one-on-one with Guerrero: 31:05 interview begins.

    In what appears to be a series of paperwork moves (at least for now): The ACL Brewers activated the following players from the 'Temporarily Inactive List': RHP Darling Solano RHP Samuel Dario INF Alberis Ferrer RHP Henrison Mota RHP Ryan Birchard INF Josh Adamczewski

    Fear not, we will be covering the AFL; the Aussie Winter League; any any other Brewers prospects we learn of playing in the various other Winter Leagues happening to the South of the US. These will all be updated in their respective threads in the Minor League Forum - ie we will most definitely not be writing daily reports. 😂

    I would opine he became predictable with his lower velocity flatter fastball in the meat of the season. It's an entirely different pitch today than it was during the majority of the season. Everything was just vastly sharper as August progressed and he made it into September where he was lights out dominant. The bullpen work at Nashville - though a ridiculously small sample - speaks to this. In Nashville he had legitimate ride on his 95-98mph heater. When he was struggling, I saw a flat meaty 93-95 that didn't really ride. With that improvement (in velo and movement/ride) he really dialed in the mix of his off-speed. You can see my posts earlier in the season where I was urging him to lead with his off-speed as his heater had become way too hittable as a lead pitch. Well, by September's end he could lead with anything. And, in a true relief role in Nashville (he had one appearance with Biloxi where he didn't start and pitched a scoreless inning), he put this on full display. One of the more exciting and unexpected storylines was how he wrapped up 2023 by putting it all together. He showed demonstrably he could strike people out but he lacked the fine-tuned pitches and pitch mix. Now we see how that carries into 2024 with the addendum: he is Rule 5 eligible. Given the strikeouts, what we saw late, and his possible flexibility as an immediate candidate to fill a middle relief taxi role (or better?) I would be entirely unsurprised if the Brewers choose to roster him. Wild development.

    He led the entire Brewers system in punch outs, for the year, with (I believe) in the mid 170's. He led all of the Southern League. Had his best work of the season in his last month after opening the year with an 11K outing. The coolest thing about these bullpen outings was the change-up and curveball work. That's what turned my eyes - it sets up that heat to really play and have better ride.

    None that I can find. I'm sure it will be a case of we won't really know for at least a day or so. Can't lose Tom, too. He's too good.
  17. Joseph Zarr
    Wait, they won?!? That's insane. Wait, Miami put up 70 points on Denver?!? That's insane. Wait, Zach Tom went out with an injured knee?!? NO. No. NO.

    AND, with the 'W' the Sounds ensure they took their Division in the Second Half. A heck of a finish to their year. They played their best baseball (outside the Durham 1-5 shellacking) when they needed to but the Bulls were just that much better in the second half.

    RHP Caleb Boushley snuck into the broadcast booth during last year's finale. Looks like he did it again and he gets the Payton Henry HR shot to boot! Looks like he had Chourio's double to boot:
  20. Joseph Zarr
    I haven't seen him today. BUT, he was touching 98 mph in his last two starts at Biloxi. His first outing with the Sounds he was touching 95-97 mph by my eyes (I could be recalling incorrectly).

    Just saw the Inactive List. Good grief! J-Love's first Home game ever is going to need a miracle performance. I'm at the place where I come to expect this as a Packers fan so I am not all that bothered by the injuries themselves. It is what it is. And, I certainly don't want injured players getting further injured. BUT, I feel for J-Love in his Home debut. That's rough. More than today's injuries, I remain astounded the Packers think Royce Newman is a plug-and-play back-up LG. That, to me, says all I need about the state of the Packers. Between that and Joe Barry's continued employment, I just have a hard time taking the team all that seriously. And, I sure as heck they prove me wrong. That would be fantastic.

    The Brewers will be playing with the Surprise Saguaros this AFL season. Last season, if you recall, they were playing with the Dodgers; Reds (and Matt McLain); White Sox; and Twins on the Glendale Desert Dogs. This season, they'll be paired with the Reds; Rangers; Blue Jays; and Royals.

    He pays that back and then some with a great jump and fantastic run down of a screamer with the bases juiced. Sounds squeak one out, improbably, 10-9:
  25. Joseph Zarr
    Yeah, it's been really rough. I almost thought Sweetie would PH Devanney there it has been so rough. He's a shell of himself.
