    Whoa. 40 Games with Nashville in 2023 - primarily in RF - 34-year-old journeyman Tyler Naquin has switched to the pitching mound in 2025! What's more? He's pitching for Lake County in the Midwest League. Amazing.

    I don't know why it took me until now - actually I do as Walla Walla locals called Cadiz 'Dom' it just didn't click - but Cadiz was absolutely tearing it up with the Walla Walla sweets before the Brewers took him in this year's draft. He represented them in the All Star game. He absolutely looks the part of a pro baseball player. Personally, in the rare chance they sign him (fingers crossed!), I think they start him out at 3B though, it is the Brewers, they'll likely give him opportunities at SS too. This young man showcased he can absolutely mash in the post-HS circuit. He was a monster in the West Coast League.

    The DSL Brewers Blue managed to pull out the 5-4 'W' in a scheduled 7-inning game vs the DSL Dodgers Bautista. Outhit 7-to-4 - with two of Bautista knocks coming in the seventh and final frame via a two-out single followed by a two-out two-run Johnson - the Brewers managed to take just enough advantage of 8 BB, 2 WP, 2 HB, and 1 Error in their 4-for-15 with RISP. The Dodgers managed a 3-for-10 mark with RISP leaving 7 men on base. The DSL Brewers Blue improved to 19-14. They are 3.5 GB Northwest division leading DSL Tampa Bay. They are currently just outside that final 8-team Wild Card playoff group (best records after division winners) by 1/2 G behind the tied for 8th WC seeded DSL Arizona Red and DSL Mets Orange who are both sitting at 20-14 overall.

    Every player in the DSL Cerveceros Gold line up has a knock today except All Star DH Jonathan Rangel who just happens to have 3 BB. Every batter has an RBI but Rangel and Acosta. They lead the DSL Cubs Azules 14-3 in the 6th inning.

    If memory serves correct this our last stretch of ACL Brewers games of 2025?

    Honestly, it's the same reason why I thought Roupe was a long shot. But, here we are. I have to imagine, in that specific circumstance, the coaching carousel and instability of the program in his committment transition likely played in the Brewers favor?

    As I anticipated originally. He's betting on himself and why would he not? Too much raw athleticism and massive massive upside. He knows what he's working with. I expect big things. Bummer though. Man, I wanted him in the Brewers system to pair with Dinges. 😅

    RHP Griffin Tobias with a fantastic relief outing: 2.0 IP, 1 H, (you guessed it) 0 BB, 3 K, 0 R. LOVE love love seeing RHP Bryce Meccage trending in this new direction. 18 K: 3 BB in 15 1/3 IP is exactly what the doctor ordered for the month of Juuuuuly. Mudcats improve to 15-7 overall. Much like the first half, however, they aren't really making any headway in the standings regardless. They lead 2nd place Fredericksburg by a mere 1.0 G. Miles to go.

    Rough month of July for RHP Will Childers. He's given up 1-to-2 runs in every relief outing - all four of his Nashville outings and his sole Biloxi outing. He is mired in a relief slump. On the other hand, clean 1.0 IP of 1 H 0's for RHP Justin Yeager in his first action as a Sound.

    Also, I can simply come out and say it: I did not anticipate this level of start and success for Pedro Ibarguen. But, man alive, if he doesn't just have the physical look of a player who is ready for this level of competition:
  11. Joseph Zarr
    Yeah, that looked not good. At all. Man, these injuries hurt me every time. We've suffered so many the past few years with guys we love on the fringes. This one hurts. Bryant is absolutely One of my favorite bullpen arms in the system. When he is right? He is filthy. There is a price to pay all too many times. Just brutal.

    I think targeting some meaningful depth and help at 1B/3B and in the bullpen makes sense. I personally don't think the Brewers need to make resoundingly big moves. But, I also wouldn't begrudge them one iota if they sought to grab top of the shelf rentals for a post-season run. I don't think you can turn a blind eye as an org but I also don't think messing with the clubhouse chemistry makes all that much sense either. In other words: I have absolutely no idea. 😅 I love this Vaughn story at present - we caught lightning in a bottle at the dish. But, I continue to have major doubts this type of production lasts and I have major concerns about his defense (as seen in that inexplicable botched catch after yet another incredible play by Joey Ortiz). He's a great story now. I wouldn't rely on it lasting into the post-season in any shape or fashion.

    Three consecutive sweeps. Two consecutive sweeps vs the Dodgers. What a time to be alive. With a system overflowing with talent, the Brewers are truly set up to bolster their weaknesses and make a legitimate run at this thing. What an incredible run they are on! Here's hoping Arnold and the personnel staff press the right buttons. 👏

    I don't disagree with you. He obviously has power and has had moments where he has accessed the power but he certainly hasn't done so in a consistent manner. I agree on the swing and miss as well - certainly not Wes Clarke problematic but he misses more in the zone than we'd like. However, I think we can also point to numerous times in the past several seasons when prospects have been promoted when their underlying numbers might say they should have stayed in their respective levels. Burke is at least hitting even if we are looking for a different quality. Did Murray 'deserve' his original call up? Did Zamora 'deserve' the Triple-A call up? For me, Burke would qualify first and foremost as a numbers game replacement promotion - ie if a Warren, for example, got a call up or Adams is out much longer than anticipated. Regardless, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he got the call. And, as you are pointing out, it also wouldn't surprise me in the least if he spent the entire year in Wisconsin. It also wouldn't surprise me in the least if he was traded at the Deadline. If anyone truly deserves the call-up from the T-Rats, that person continues to be Jadher for me - who also may be traded at the deadline 😅. I think we're just in that liminal stage where the draft signings and the deadline simply need to pass before we actually have any semblance of clarity.

    Letson's original injury was considered mild shoulder discomfort. He was set to come off the IL, was throwing early week successful bullpen sessions (they even spoke about it in the T-Rats podcast) at the time. He was scheduled to come off IL and pitch on a Saturday. And, here we are. Clearly, his body - and, more importantly, his throwing shoulder - did not respond favorably enough after those early bullpen sessions. Obviously a real bummer but we never got further updates or news beyond that early road to recovery hiccup.

    Black a replacement for Collins?!😅 Collins grades out as possibly the best defensive LF'er in the game. He grades out as having the best jumps in all of MLB. He also finds ways to impact games with his bat. At Black's current level of play, he is a pinch runner and a very infrequently used fill-in whereby you hope he doesn't hurt you. In that regard, maybe he gets some opportunities as a DH or a PR? Spot fill-in MLB emergency player who happens to be on the 40-Man. Could he surprise us? Absolutely - he has the talent somewhere in there that got him on the 40-Man to begin with. He just hasn't been all that good for quite awhile, sadly. He offers nowhere near the defensive level of a Collins (or anyone else on the Brewers roster, sadly). He is hitting slightly better of late which is refreshing but that is also considering he has had a very rough time since coming off the IL. I used to be one of Black's biggest supporters on our Forums. He isn't even a Top 20 prospect for me any longer until he shows me some semblance of something consistently.

    Goodness that is a pretty swing. That action and pop at the point of attack leads me to believe there just may be more line drive power in there than was originally prognosticated.
  23. Joseph Zarr
    T-Rats got to take a lil bit of their second half frustrations out tonight. They lead 10-0 headed to the 9th inning. Oh hey! Areinamo with his second long ball in two nights - his 11th on the season. Lottttta cheddah in this box score. Tayden Hall hit his 2nd and 3rd HR of his season (man alive, it pains me how he can't get more consistent loft on the ball with his athleticism and pretty swing): Is RHP Manuel Rodriguez back back? 5.0 IP scoreless. 1 H, 2 BB, 3 K. Really nice 2.0 IP of 0 H, 0 BB, 3 K work from LHP Anthony Flores.

    Lovely comeback by the Muddies to win their second in a row 3-2. RHP Jose Nova even pitched a clean 9th frame for the Save! You love to see it. I'm telling you: Nova absolutely has goods. He simply needs to learn how to harness it (as if we haven't said that about certain someones in Carolina/Wisconsin over the past two seasons - lol).

    Kuehner has legitimate starting potential - sure, he may be a bullpen arm when all is said and done but it would trend toward a multi-inning arm. Anyone who sits 93-94 mph but can cork back and touch 95-to-97 mph with his arm side run as a lefty is going to get serious run as a starter until that train falls off the tracks. He has a near side arm release - by my eyes it's beyond the 3/4 slot to a near sidearm hence his run really plays and he can fade it too. Two heaters. I personally don't worry about his current zonal 'issues'. They aren't absurd and he is a pitcher that very very well appears to be a guy who could just 'click' with an off-season of learning how to attack in the mold of, say, a Brandon Woodruff. His stuff moves so much I think he pitches near his targets but the pitches move and he just misses. He's still growing. He has a really nice change-up that plays off both heaters - he can really use it to dominate righties. He has also separated his slider and curve into two separate pitches. To think he is just a MLB reliever is short-sighted. You don't get the whiff rates he does as a starter and not get serious play. He'll very likely be in Triple-A and trying to knock on the doorstep in 2026. He is absolutely trending in all the right ways. He's 24. Next year will be his age 25 season.
