    This is correct. We covered it at that time - tho, we didn't exactly get full clarity. I'm just grateful it wasn't longer than this - at the time it felt like it may have been quite severe.

    Well that stinks. Thanks for the update.

    HUGE. The Sounds of Freedom ring throughout Scranton/Wilkes-Barre! I spoke to this earlier in the week, but worth mentioning again here: Zamora may hit for essentially zero power but he is unafraid of the Big moments. A major progression for him since being assigned to Nashville is the clutch single. That has to be at least 3-4 run producing clutch hits this season.

    Made's last long ball was May 29th. He hit 0.229 in July. He is 0-for-3 so far today. This has been a tough stretch for the young man who has clearly not hit like those first two months for quite some time.

    Good news for the Brewers bullpen: Zastryzny has passed the IL benchmarks and is headed to Nashville to begin his rehab stint. Big news for the overall depth.

    Very good news for the Brewers bullpen depth:: - LHP Rob Zastryzny has been sent on his rehab assignment to the Nashville Sounds by the Milwaukee Brewers It would appear he has passed all the injury benchmarks to get back out that door. If you recall, Zastryzny was scheduled to head to Nashville in July but had to be held back after some concerning relapses.

    Well, I give tid bits when they are in the Complex and DSL - ie 'we may want to watch for this...'. I did it with Adams. I did it with Adamczewski. I also did it with Tyler Rodriguez 😅. SO, until I see them play...I don't let the Hype Train leave the station. You could tell within one or two games Dinges' bat and bat speed were different than anyone on that 2024 roster. The defensive progress this season has been astounding. You could also tell the same with Admaczewski. Despite his early exit with freak injury last season that bat and swing was legitimately apparent in his first Carolina AB. It is different. That Fischer clip? He obviously has elite short swing bat speed. That type of approach is going to get to a lot of pitches. We still need to see him play. However, we've also had an entire season of college baseball. Given he'll go to High-A, our expectations 'should' be higher.

    Well that's interesting. Don't know what to think of that. I guess we'll have to wait until the post-game interviews to get any type of read here.

    Man, hamstrings. They are so tricky. Any time something like what has happened to Frelick and Chourio pops up in season you never know if they will truly heal until the next season. We've seen it time and time again with professional athletes. It just is what it is at this point. Let's hope they recover. Let's hope it's precautionary and he just felt a little tickle. Either way, we all know this is not good. Not good at all. IF he indeed misses time, I'm personally in favor of giving OF Jared Oliva a try as the next 'lightning in a bottle' AAAA guy. He is an incredible defender. Fantastic speed everywhere and on the base paths. Sneaky pop. He's 10x the realistic OF candidate on MLB grass that Tyler Black is. Just my personal opinion. They've already DFA'd Cameron and Avans. Oliva is very worthy of a shot. Obviously, they'd have to open a 40-Man spot to do it so they may just stick in house. Not a fan of relying on Black on the OF grass or anywhere, really. 😅 Now, this being said, his brief stint with some actual productive MLB AB's was encouraging. His play since being sent down? Not really.

    How awesome has it been to watch Mendoza and Bowman reclaim their status within the greater relief corps depth chart? It has been incredibly enjoyable. While the loss of Wilken's and Adams' bats is finally really starting to catch up to the Shuckers line-up (and, with the likely extended absence of Double-A C Matt Wood - that foul ball of his right upper arm looked not good), the recent string of losses has very little to do with their bullpen. Other than Merkel's anomalous 5-spot inning, the Shuckers bullpen has continued to pump out plus stuff. Mendoza's full-time shift to a multi-inning Pen guy has completely salvaged his arc with the Brewers. He has been fantastic for awhile now as you allude to. And, both Bowman and Yeager pitched scoreless innings last night as well. Good stuff.

    Oh hey! People are starting to really catch on in the greater prospect universe. Nice to see:

    I am absolutely thrilled to see a line up with Fischer and Dinges as a one-two punch. When Josh inevitably gets called up there we may be looking at our own brief version of the first half Whitecaps trio. At least we can dream on that possibility.
  14. Joseph Zarr
    C Marco Dinges is a Top 5 Brewers prospect. I will pound this gavel until the fans wake up to what we truly have here. No player in the system, not a single One, has touched the season Dinges has had on both sides of the diamond. Adamczewski is a close second with the bat. Wilken, Peña and Adams nip at his heels. Dinges is in a 2025 tier all by himself. The aura absolutely drips when he plays.

    It is rumored, though I can not confirm this, when each patter was plunked the ball pittered away atop the dirt. 🤭

    As to Meccage and his early exit, it's hard to say. There's nothing discernible that happens to him in the outing. He had, what, a 12 pitch first frame. He had a long second inning of 25 pitches? The bullpen was already up, however, by innings end. He gave up a two-rbi single on a curveball hanger dead center. A fantastic relay from Anderson led to a back pick by, I think Di Turi, at first base to end the inning. I think Stanley was already moving to the bullpen as they are protecting their very young arm later in the season. It's been very clearly hotter than heck with the lads dripping sweat on the bump all series. Meccage didn't show anything concerning other than a bit wild, as he is prone to doing, and moving a bit sluggishly dripping heaps of sweat.

    I wouldn't say so. It's an up and down ML season. The injuries are the biggest downer for all of us and especially the players. The Mudcats were absolutely electric that first month. They were the talk of Minor League baseball. The Shuckers won their first half Title in electric fashion. Even the T-Rats made a late first half charge. And, the Sounds have very very adequately served as the Brewers IL Taxi Squad - filling the gaps more than adequately when the Big Club needed reserves. The injuries have been devastating. We have missed a lot of innings from Blue Chip players.. I think it's important to remember the new delicate dance of a stateside 165 active players roster crunch. It is a significant difference and it really adds an entirely new overlay of challenge for all ball clubs.

    I mean our manager publicly admitted to essentially dumpster diving pizza slices out of Hotel boxes - other peoples' pizza - to take them to the ballpark, roll em up like a sammy, and eat said cold slices during the game. He does not care what you or I think. He is utterly 100% confident in his own skin. He knows who he is. He lives and dies for his team. I know I have gone mildly apoplectic (and I can not promise I won't go that route again) with his bullpen management. But, how can we not embrace Him as the leader of our Pirate Ship of overachievers?!? A treasure.

    Put this interview in a museum. Sports fans for generations shall look on in absolute wonder. What a Legend. He is a treasure.

    Tobias! Yikes. Not what we're after given his recent run of really nice work. Let's just hope this is a fart in the wind. Another brutal night for the full season clubs. Not a good week overall.
  21. Joseph Zarr
    That's a two HR week for Josh. LOVE it. Get him to High-A already Brewers. This has been your BF public service rant.

    SIR! Put your fire extinguisher away, please. This is a prescribed burn.

    2-for-15 with RISP didn't prevent the DSL Brewers Gold from pulling out a 5-3 victory. OF Kenny Fenelon went yard for his third Johnson in a 1-for-5, 1 R, 2 RBI performance. Lead-off 2B, Juan Martinez, dazzled again with a 3-for-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 SB day pushing his season BA to 0.324 with a 0.991 OPS in 169 PA's. He is improving in every category since last season - across the board, really - and will likely be in the Complex by next summer (if not sooner).
