Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "It's another midweek Microbrew, with host JR Radcliffe and special guest Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic, who uses his pitching expertise to help explain what's turned Jacob Misiorowski into one of baseball's superstars seemingly overnight. They dive deep into what the Brewers have done to contribute to his success, why he's so hard to hit (yes, he throws extremely hard, but it's more than that), how he's improved physically and mentally and more on the mechanics of a one-man revolution. They also touch briefly on the arrival of Cooper Pratt, the decision to part ways with Luis Rengifo and what fans can expect from their new young shortstop. Then, we dig into the archive for a 2023 conversation with Jim Callis (27:00), draft expert from MLB.com, going over the machinations of the 2023 draft and how the Brewers put Pratt at the center of their plans. Perhaps you'll find a Misiorowski reference or two in that conversation, as well. Our semi-regular midweek episodes will tackle a bigger topic in depth, with another regular episode landing Monday morning on the week in review."

Garcia is slated for minor league free agency after the season (like he was last October before the Brewers re-signed him). We (well, I) will be posting the formal lists of both Rule 5 eligible and minor league free-agent eligible players by end-of-day Friday, as we've done in the past. I'm aware that several diehards here maintain lists on their own as well, please hold off posting until I have, and then you may hit me with any perceived discrepancies (although the lists I will be posting have confirmation, if you know what I mean...). Thanks, Jim

Pena left Tuesday's game as was noted here: "Tough night for Luis Pena, who once again has to exit the game. Came up limping after legging out a strike out on a wild pitch." Just a reminder to all, and not singling you out, TURBO, that we are not going to be able to get as thorough an update on MiLB players, even top prospects, as we would at the big-league level. Pena has (as of yet) not been placed on the IL, and we know that even with IL placements, we are often not fully aware of the circumstances. As ARob noted a few posts up: "I probably should have clarified much earlier that if a player has been out less than a week and has not been placed on the IL, that either means it’s just something that is day-to-day or the organization simply doesn’t know severity/what the plan is yet so I typically won’t have much info at this point in time either way."

Monday 6/15: Via Foul Territory (audio option, 14:00 minute mark): "Brewer Territory co-host Curt Hogg joins AJ Pierzynski, Erik Kratz, and Scott Braun to break down Jacob Misiorowski's historic rise from electric prospect to one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball. Curt explains the remarkable improvements Miz has made with his command, why his 104.5 mph fastball is only part of the story, and how the Brewers are managing his workload as October approaches. The crew also discusses Milwaukee's unique approach to pitcher development, Kyle Harrison's breakout season since arriving with the Brewers, top prospect Cooper Pratt's promotion to the majors, and whether the first-place Brewers are finally willing to make a significant move at the trade deadline. Plus, Curt shares the latest on Brandon Woodruff's return timeline, Pat Murphy's health, and the Forrest Gump comparison that continues to follow Misiorowski around Milwaukee." Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast: - "On this week's show the guys discussed playing baseball on the moon, Miz's latest exploits, one prospect extension and another promotion, which lefty batter they're concerned about and, of course, a trade proposal." Via WTMJ's Morning News (download link): Brewers 360 with Dom Cotroneo - "The hero of the weekend was Blake Perkins! He has had an up & down year but has come through in big moments.

It should be noted that Biloxi has been playing shorthanded for some time now. Even with Josh Adamczewski and Andrew Fischer joining the club, Biloxi's roster sits at 29, just one above the league limit. That could be alleviated by placing 3rd catcher Edgardo Ordonez on the Development List should they wish, though we'd have to see if catcher Darrien Miller is still out day-to-day. Nashville is one under its 28-man limit, Wisconsin two-under its 30-man limit, Wilson one under its 30-man limit. So, we may or may not see additional moves today.

Friday 6/14: AUDIO option via Curt Hogg's "Brewer Territory" with Corey Knebel and J.P. Feyereisen: "A 15-K Maddux? Miz pitches one of the most dominant games ever" *** Sunday 6/15: AUDIO option via Curt Hogg's "Brewer Territory" with Corey Knebel: "Corey and Curt talk about Cooper Pratt's call-up as well as the series win over Philly" Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "Jacob Misiorowski gave us a one-of-a-kind performance June 12, with 15 strikeouts in a complete-game shutout in which he only threw 95 pitches. How is this even possible? Host JR Radcliffe and Brewers reporter Curt Hogg look at the incredible win over the Phillies, how Misiorowski has gotten so good, so fast, and what it was like during a special night at American Family Field. Plus: Cooper Pratt is headed to the big leagues this week, adding a new young player to Milwaukee's offense. The guys also discuss the bizarre playing conditions in Las Vegas and a resulting 15-14 game, Jackson Chourio's power surge, and a tough week for Chad Patrick. In Three Up Three Down (37:20), they discuss Blake Perkins' stunning first homer of the year, the Truss Club, Bananaball, a new reliever in Joel Kuhnel and the team's long-term catching situation. In Remembrew When (57:20), JR goes back to the highest-scoring game in club history, and it's not pretty. In Curt Blanche (1:00:15), Curt gives some thoughts (and some bars) on the New York Knicks. Then, JR chats with Garrett Mitchell (1:07:35), who's been healthier than ever this year, and even though he continues to harbor a strange profile (he knows it, too), he's become an essential Brewers component as the team's center fielder.
