Indeed! Wow! The second walk-off for the Shuckers this series. This time via a rope left field double down the third base line off the bat of Jason Lopez: And, in Nashville, Brice Turang rewarded Lucas Erceg’s 1-2-3 11th with a well-hit knock off the glove of Gwinnett’s diving third baseman:

And Cam Devanney is now at 19 games on the Ol’ hitting streak. He hit his 15th dub of the season (as did Jakson Reetz, I say - still taking buyers for the 2nd half ‘Hype Train’…lottttta seats open, folks). Down 8-4, something to root for gull dern it!

The T-Rats pull one out as Cam Robinson picks up his 17th Save (!!) with a clean inning of one strikeout work. What a first Half, Cam! I smell winds from a certain Gulf coast blowing northward.

Talk about ending the first half with a whimper. What a truly unfortunate time to have their worst series offensively all season. Ugh. Surely, Biloxi feels some type of camaraderie having lost 6-packs themselves in the first half.

Thanks for writing this. He’s a total stud and, due to his now habituated slow starts to seasons, it certainly seems he is somehow inexplicably overlooked.

Eduardo was also out of the line-up yah? I will play the conservative: Held out for rest until further notice.?

When his fastball is doing this, he really looks the part: I’ve said it before but that pitch in its highest form can reallllly sneak up on hitters and he absolutely needs it. I also had to double take as that’s a Home broadcast. It would appear Jeff Hem is tending to a family matter until Tuesday. I sure hope everything is ok!

James Meeker with his 5th Save of the season tonight? That is probably a top 10-15 mark in the Midwest League. Incredible.

We could definitely point to the bullpen and the combination of Luis Contreras and Harold Chirino conceding 7 runs (6 earned) in the 7th and 8th innings. Where for art thou early season dominant Harold?!??

Well, I’m chalking it up to: qualities of a long baseball season. In this regard, it’s more the by-product of a rough month of May. He has been fantastic in April and June if you take the whole. I would say some of it is injury-related there as he struggled to regain form after that awkward slide awhile back as his mini slump continued a couple games returned from that stint. When I watch him, and I watch Biloxi fairly regularly, I still see the same savvy hitter and fantastic baseball player I’ve grown to love. I can honestly say: I could most likely count bad AB’s from Felix this season on one hand. He just doesn’t give away AB’s. Something I also do not take for granted: In over 400 innings played (primarily 2B tho I would gather he has 40 or so innings in left field) he has a mere four errors. He’s as steady as they come. I love the player and he appears to carry himself extremely well.

One would have to agree with you there. Campbell has literally almost strictly been an OF all season for Biloxi - he's played more games at 1B and DH than at 3B if memory serves. It would appear we can't be too invested in the previous 'INF' designation as it seems the Brewers now view him as a corner OF propsect. Before he was injured, and since, he played/is playing primarily LF all season. Since his injury, they have rotated him some throughout the OF during the games as shifts arise - albeit, minimally. Before Coca was promoted, it Was the Cam Devanney break-out as he has stepped in from Day 1 and played phenomenal defense and has spot-filled 13 or so games at the Hot Corner. Now, they pretty much only spot-play Cam anywhere outside of SS. The 3B 'conundrum' was more driven by Ashton McGee's early injury and consequent struggles as he was the opening-day 3B. Frankly, he was having a fantastic game and, well, it all went downhill from there. He continues to try and make something out of a rough rough start to 2022 and has had a few moment.

OPS is still above 0.700. He has walks/walked a ton, always has power, and plays a fantastic 1B. I think he's here for the season, personally. What has happened is a prolonged slump since the away Jacksonville series. He was batting back to 0.224 at that point? Regardless, it will be interesting to see what happens in the second-half of the year. I think the Brewers see him as solid insurance should anything go wrong - batting average aside. Plus, he's absolutely loved by his teammates. The issue at large, if we're being honest, is there simply aren't a lot of 1B options in the system. Perhaps, the young man having the most promising year at 1B (in terms of upside and development) has been shelved with injury for over a month - Ernesto Martinez. Tyler White has gotten hot again here in the short-term and profiles as your classic bench 1B/DH if the need arises. Thomas Dillard is a likable guy and another walk machine - he essentially protoypes as a strictly Vogelbach-type of player in that he's shorter, stalkier etc. and will never give you plus defense though he is fine within his limitations. He leads the Southern League in walks and has gotten mildly hot at the plate recently - another 1B prospect who has hovered around 0.200 for most of the season with a similarly plus-0.700 OPS. Wes Clarke has filled in admirably over the course of the season and is turning into an interesting C/DH/1B option in the system. He's been a joy to watch though he is clearly limited athletically. However, he's just a very solid baseball player with, perhaps, the most supportive nuclear family fan-base I've ever seen. All-in-all, though, we don't appear to have a stud in the wings. Perhaps, the club treats that situation like the Packers treated ILB for over a decade? I don't know. I like all these guys, however, and have to believe the Brewers see enough supportive qualities in the collective to fill-in if for some reason injuries really ran rampant.

A very intriguing night of arms taking the Hill for our Upper Levels teams tonight: Stiven Cruz Antoine Kelly Brandon Knarr Ethan Small Personally, I would feel quite a bit better if we saw the version of pre-Call Up Ethan Small here. He's scuffled quite a bit in his starts since being sent back down. I would love to see a confident dominant outing. Let's hope he turns it around.

The DLS Brewers Dos? Ummm, not so much. Four hits and a 9-0 'L'. Ouch. It would appear Anthony Flores did his best Adrian Houser impersonation relinquishing a quick 5-spot to get the game started in a rough direction. He was pulled after 2/3 innings.

DSL Brewers Uno hung on for their fourth victory beating the Phillies 4-3! Fantastic. Caceres managed a clean seventh inning to close it out - he definitely needed that and so did his squad. Well done!

He has struggled mightily in 2022, yes. But, he was also playing through injury much of that first half. This is a recurring theme for him, sadly, and most likely why he was taken off the 40-Man. It definitely looks like he's heading down the road of showcasing for other organizations. Incredible week, though, as you point out. I'm truly happy for him. He always comes across genuine and likable in his interviews with Jeff Hem. He made a lot of efforts this off-season to get his body right - including hiring a chef and nutritionist.

Jeferson Quero closing out his first half of Low-A ball in style. His arm is an absolute cannon - it's nice to see him get some recognition. Just a solid solid backstop with a lot of upside. We're lucky to have him.

Yeah, this is a wonderful article. Thanks, @damuelle! Really enjoyed reading and relating to his story. He made a very practical personal life-based decision as an 17/18 yo to leave Minor League ball and grab his degree. He came back, but because he had already signed he was un-draftable. Another working man's story. Another underdog. I hope he shines!

Dylan File worked around 10 hits in his six innings of work. He managed to limit the damage to three runs. It’s 8-3 in the ninth as Connor Sadzeck looks to close this out - we had scoreless innings of work from Lucas Erceg and Matt Hardy. Corey Ray has come off the IL with a vengeance we haven’t seen to date in 2022. 4-for-4 tonight with 2 dubs and 3 RBI’s. Let’s go, Corey!

I heart Cam Robinson. What a first half of his season. He went another 1 2/3 scoreless innings tonight with 3 k’s for his 16th Save. Kent Hasler gave us a reminder he is still a fantastic pitcher when he’s on with his best two innings of work in a hot minute helping Biloxi take another from Pensacola 5-4. This is not the series Carolina was looking for. They lose another to the Wood Ducks - 6-0. Rough stretch for the young men. Jackson Chourio with the 0-for-4 three strikeout line.

Biloxi’s Hail Mary attempt at a six game sweep ends - Nuck Bennett and TJ Hintzen each giving up five runs in relief. Overall, a tough night ‘on the farm’. Thanks for helping grab a ‘W’, Woody!

Goodness gracious, this is incredible work guys. My head is spinning. THANK YOU for putting this together - there are many moving parts and confusing deadlines/dates etc. I'll add: I'm protecting Uribe and Cam Robinson. Those arms are too valuable - development for promotion(s) OR used in trades. Both young men are absolutely electric. Cam's got nasty stuff, gents. He's also a guy who is completely comfortable with base runners. A lot of his stuff is improperly called (by umps) because it has so much bite and movement. His change-up, for example, essentially has the look of a 12-6 curve ball. The ump last night versus Quad Cities, as a recent example, missed two blatant strike three calls on buckling change-ups. He has two fast balls. He has a curve and a breaking ball blend (with the change). He leads the Midwest League in Saves my double the second place 'guy'. He's just a stud. He's a guy who could go either way - any relief role OR stretched. I think he's that good.
