  1. Sal Frelick applies immediate pressure on Rays' super prospect RHP Taj Bradley taking a 10-pitch walk to open the game.
  2. Nashville about to kick it off in Durham. Here's a wee lil' nugget: the last day Nashville wasn't atop their division in 2022? May 4th. Man, that's awesome. This could be a preview of late September's championship game in Las Vegas.
  3. Welp, it would appear Biloxi and Chattanooga are cancelled due to rain. Le sigh.
  4. What's more? Brice Turang is now manning the hot corner. I'm telling you: he could probably play catcher in a pinch.
  5. Glowing remarks from Sounds manager Rick Sweet HERE in this week's post-series (Jacksonville road sereis) pod with manager Rick Sweet (includes comments re: Brice Turang at 3B and 2B). He elaborates on LaBouef's hockey remarks. If you want it from the proverbial horse's mouth, check it out. These interviews are always awesome. This weeks is a quick 5 min 41 sec nugget.
  6. As always, via Jeff Hem's Blog. I can affirm, these conversations are just always fantastic looks into the make-up of these young players. I've listened to each and every post-series round of interviews and this week's, like so many others (albeit only three interviews), does not disappoint. We'll get some convos in here that occurred throughout last week's road series in Jacksonville. Featured: the return and reflections of OF Matt Lipka, the thoughts of journeyman AAAA pitcher extraordinaire Josh Lindbolm, and manager Rick Sweet who opines on Frelick's scorching start amongst other club-related things.
  7. Hey guys, I'll try and get to these later today or throughout the week (Minor League report work and Rookie Leagues ending). But, I just wanted to say: "Welcome!". Always great to welcome new passionate Brewers fans into the mix. Thanks for posting here.
  8. So, with Raabe headed to Wisconsin...and Acosta getting another nod in RF...I wonder if Ayrault will give Zack some nods in the lead-off spot while playing 2B in rotation? OR, will Darrien Miller continue to hold that down? Will we see an aggressive end-of-season placement for any of the hot-hitting ACL Brewers? I'm looking at Luke Adams, Quinton Low, Dylan O'Rae, Miguel Briceno, Daniel Guillarte, Jheremy Vargas (for obvious reasons), Kaylan Nicasia, Johnnys Cabrera, Jose Caballero, and Alexander Perez as possible candidates. Complete speculation on my part, I should add. Will any of our pitching draft picks and UDFA signings get the nod? I always love this last half month to month of the season.
  9. Ugh. Just a lost season after an intriguing beginning for Martinez. Bummer. Heal up, young man!
  10. The MiLB transactions wire consistently has RHP Alexander Cornielle heading to the Orioles High-A club in Aberdeen. I had to double take. Calm myself. AND, go read the Carolina Mudcats press release. LOL. I was like: "Is this some twisted player to be named later delayed ugliness?!?" ?
  11. Jose Acosta in RF? That's a surprising sight - it will be just his third appearance in RF for the T-Rats. He has yet to field a ball there. Maybe tonight we get a web gem!
  12. Before I read your fine write-up, Jim, I wrote this about Guillarte in today's Minor League Game Thread (HERE )

  14. Adams takes your 5th and 6th stolen base and raises them a 7th, 8th, and 9th today. Sheeesh. To boot, he hit the game-tying double in the final frame. This is an extremely exciting young draft pick, it would appear early!

  16. Let's toss two more into the 'Lefty On Base Club': Super athlete, Garrett Mitchell and diminutive speedster, Dylan O'Rae
  17. 3B Luke Adams again strutting his stuff for the ACL Gold today. After the above-mentioned jinx-laden 3-run inning laid upon Wagoner, Adams ropes a double to right field knocking in two runners and tying the game at 4 apiece. Adams is now hitting a robust 0.357 with a 1.075 in 32 ACL AB's. Fantastic stuff from the 12th rounder straight out of high school! It should be noted, he stole 3 bases today as well - that's 9 SB for Adams in just 11 games! I sure hope we get to see him in Carolina!
  18. INF Daniel Guillarte continues to shine in his ACL role. He's 2-for-3 today and is now hitting 0.309 with a 0.780 OPS. He has managed 7 doubles on the season but has a zero in the long ball department. If this 18-year-old young man can get some more meat on those bones (currently listed at 160 lbs), we might just really have something here. His 19:31 BB:K ratio is quite nice - there's obviously plate discipline going on here and an ability to put the bat to the ball. He's averaging an error per 27 2/3 innings played at SS - compare that to Severino's error per 16 2/3 innings played or Juan Baez's error per 21 2/3 innings played - and, perhaps we see we have a more advanced fielder as well. This will be a fun young man to track alongside the up and coming Jadher Areinamo - two lesser heralded but enticing prospects.
  19. It looks as though Walker practiced today and has a chance to play versus the Chiefs. FWIW.
  20. 2022 11th rounder, Cameron Wagoner, has now pitched 7 IP in the ACL. 0 H, 0 BB, 7 K. ? Naturally, I completely jinxed him. He's now given up 4 hits, 1 walk, and 3 ER in his second inning of work today. I apologize in advance, Cameron.
  21. Vernon Scott waived injured is mildly surprising considering he was getting looks with the 1's. Rasul lined up opposite Amos today in 11 v 11 - which is interesting.
  22. The hits keep coming in the rehab department: RHP Justin King pitches a clean 1 H, 1 BB, 3 K inning - his first since early July before the T-Rats sent him down to the ACL on a rehab assignment. Good news!
  23. Hey now! Lefty Clayton Andrews just pitched a clean 1 IP - 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K. This is awesome. That's only his second live inning of competitive action since May of 2021 - both scoreless.
  24. My opinion of Brewers ST coverage is it has been sparse for quite some time. We seem to get occasional tid bits from the McCalvy's of the world - a nice story here and there. But, overall, I generally stopped paying attention as the coverage didn't merit any commitment or interest on my end. It was a foregone conclusion the enticing ML players would be sent down no matter how they played. It typically came down to a couple fringe bullpen spots and, if a small miracle happened or an injury, a fringe bench player. It would be quite awesome to fill the niche of absurdly interesting ST coverage, however. For instance, more in-depth discourse and sharing re: how our top prospects are faring in the games. Especially, considering this upcoming off-season there are legitimately 5-6 prospects who might be pushing for meaningful PT. It seems like ages since this has been remotely a thing. EDIT: And, now, considering Will Sammon moved on to the Mets and, apparently, the Athletic hasn't replaced him or even considered addressing Brewers fans...it would appear it's a stretch to expect anything other than League-wide tid bits. I cancelled my subscription after that all went down. I was happy for Will - he's fantastic. But, honestly, it felt entirely disorganized and silly on the Athletic's part.
  25. I think there is some validity in questioning Lara's ascension into the BF Top 20 when you simply look to his outfield mate in one Duncan Garcia (2-for-2 today, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 HR) - most likely not on most peoples' radar. I would propose we may have gotten overzealous as a community given Lara's torrid start and signing hype. It's an interesting consideration, in the very least. Garcia closes with his 4th HR today (to Lara's 2). He finishes his summer with a 0.752 OPS (to Lara's 0.726). 19 SB (to Lara's 7 ). Where the rubber hits the road here, however, is when you consider Lara was leading-off and he managed a fairly impressive 28:21 K:BB ratio. That's quality stuff. Whereas, Garcia went the young hitter route of 60:23, respectively. Annywho, what I really want to say: How great to have both these young men in the DSL OF stable!
