I was just about to type this. LOL. SO many three pitch strikeouts!🤣

Well, that's not as fun! 😅 I adjusted my post to reflect this unknown. Thanks for the reminder.

Shiver me timbers, I am going back through the DSL Game Logs. Check out what I'm looking at for talk of the town, LHP Anthony FLores, in the inaugural frame of his and the Brewers DSL 1 season. We have a possible 2023 debut immaculate inning:

Back in January just after the Int'l Signings were announced, the Brewers manager of international scouting and player personnel James Armstrong had this to say on the all RHP (13 in total) pitching class:

I think, at this juncture, what we've known about him coming into the 2022 season is he was a lefty purported to have a fairly nasty curve. However, as we all know, it's tough to get any read until we can see them beyond the ACL. He did receive a $50K bonus - the 9th highest signing bonus overall but highest of the pitchers in the Brewers 2022 class.

Great opening day in the DSL! 2-0. Shutdown pitching for the DSL 1 and the DSL 2 win a high-scoring affair, 11-7. You love to see it. In that DSL 1 17 K pitching mow down, we also see November 2022 signee, 18-year-old Cuban OF Idalberto Santiesteban, had a 4-for-4 opening day with a double and a run scored. Both the DSL 1 and DSL 2 squads struggled with RISP: a combined 6-for-31. Something to work on moving forward but fantastic to have so many opportunities off the bat.

17-year-old Dominican CF Antony Gomez of the DSL Brewers 2 (signed January, 2023) had 4 SB today. Yes, that's right. Four. Yowza. 1-for-3, 2 BB, 1 K, 2 RBI. Did I mention 4 SB?

As a person who admittedly places zero emphasis or focus on Top 30 lists, I would simply recommend casually following our reports and/or the scoreboard. The darling of last summer's DSL was 1B/OF Yeison Perez. LHP Osbriel Mogollon turned heads quite a bit. Both are ACL now but it's a new season. Entirely new storylines. New faces. We'll habe to see how it shakes out.

We have a bevy if DSL assignments today. I am simply going to copy/paste from the Transaction Wire: 06/05/23 RHP Aldrin Gonzalez assigned to ACL Brewers. 06/05/23 LHP Caden Vire assigned to ACL Brewers. 06/05/23 LHP Wande Torres assigned to ACL Brewers from DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 SS Joan Gutierrez assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 SS Eduardo Charles assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 RHP Gabriel Colmenarez assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 RHP Roman Perez assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 SS Luiyin Alastre assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 RHP Daurys Mora assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 RHP Enniel Cortez assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 RHP Eric Prado assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 LHP Anthony Flores assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 RHP Oliver Camilo assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 SS Jhon Bencosme assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 LHP Jose Meneses assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 SS Tyler Rodriguez assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 RHP Saul Sanchez assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 OF Pedro Tovar assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 OF Irving Igualas assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 C Brayan Oropeza assigned to DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 LHP Wande Torres assigned to ACL Brewers from DSL Brewers 1. 06/05/23 SS Luis Lameda assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Justin Caceres assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Ismael Yanez assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 OF Christopher Vasquez assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 CF Ramon Moreno assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Dikember Sanchez assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 OF Danny Puerta assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 SS Pedro Ibarguen assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 C Roman La Torre assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Linbel Jimenez assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Carlos Maurera assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Melvin Hernandez assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 SS Filippo Di Turi assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Lenin Mendez assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 LF Fabricio Valera assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Jesus Flores assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Leonardo Rivera assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Elias Gonzalez assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Ranwell Smith assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 C Freider Rojas assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Aneuris Rodriguez assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 SS Roderick Flores assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Bryan Rivera assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 OF Antony Gomez assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 OF Smarlin Espinal assigned to DSL Brewers 2. 06/05/23 RHP Luis Guevara assigned to DSL Brewers 2.

Five games over and a win today makes the Sounds blown game in the 9th a bit easier to swallow. Adames had a dub and a solo shot in his High-A rehab start. Urias had 3rbi and a dub today in a 2-for-4 outing.

Speaking of which, the Mudcats are dominating this series but CF Guy Lipscomb has been ultra impressive for Lychburg. Heck of a 5th Rd pick for the Guardians last year. He grabs his 34th SB today.

Man this Down East, Carolina first half race is bonkers. Down East takes their fifth in a row at first place Columbia. Mudcats lead 7-1 looking for their 7th straight while only protecting a 1/2 game lead. Whewwwww

James Bleeker? Sheeesh

Devanney with another dub. Muh guy is heating up. Slowly. Like a bow drill fire. BUT, he's heating up!

I am not saying you shant feel the suspense whatsoever. But, call me crazy: I didn't feel suspense in your words. I felt pessimism and a lack of belief. I felt criticism and disparagement. Am I wrong? All I am saying to you is let these men make mistakes. Some nights they'll lose. BUT, it will never be perfect. We had the cushion today, IMHO, to enjoy that suspense. We had the advantage. Maybe I'm misreading it? Either way. I don't begrudge you your experience whatsoever. I'm always going to be an eternal Brewers optimist.

I am actually very happy our guys won the game. VERY happy. Four games over. Overcame an uncharacteristically sloppy bullpen outing. Gave up 9 stolen bases. And won the game. On the road. Glorious. I'm going to drink a beer and go till some stuff and water some plants. 😅

I'm going to keep bringing you back to: We won the game. On to the next. Some days your guys don't have it. It happens. It's baseball. We are back to 4 games over. ENJOY it, my brother!

My brother, I see so many blown games in the lower levels...we are dealing with the cream of the crop. If they blow a game? It's on to the next. Four games a night for me. Unphased. That was literally a top 3 pitcher in the entire League. You live and die by that regardless of the result. Unworried. Unphased. We win. On to the next. BAM.

Have faith, gents. Have faith.

Just remember, none of these runs mean anything until...

Whewwwww that was a nasty change-up. Yowza.

To be Counsell right now. Keep pacing, my man. Keep pacing. Let's remind oursleves: we have a top 3 reliever in all of baseball.

This is 9-inning baseball. And, we still lead by 3.

I've said it for awhile but he is an unknown outing-to-outing. Same thing in Nashville for the most part. It sucks. He absolutely has the stuff in his toolkit. But, for whatever reason, he can't harness it since his injuries over a year ago.

Let me make this my "Call up Thyago Vieira" official post. It. Is. Time. We have a very good bullpen - the stats prove it. I'm not letting this shoddy outing today change anything. BUT, a spade is a spade: he's the guy.
