Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "JR Radcliffe sits down with Brewers minor leaguers Jacob Hurtubise and Kaleb Bowman (1:01:30 hour/minute mark), who may not be household names but have intriguing baseball journeys. It's part of JR's visit to the Nashville Sounds last week."

Sunday 8/16: AUDIO option via Curt Hogg's "Brewer Territory" with Corey Knebel and JP Feyereisen: "Gems by Logan Henderson and Jacob Misiorowski helped turn things around in LA" Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "What a wild road trip, starting with a panic-inducing sweep at the hands of the Padres and followed by an epic series in Los Angeles, where the Brewers won three of four. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg attempts to encapsulate all of it with host JR Radcliffe. Did the ninth inning Thursday become the turning point of the season? How do we classify this offense exactly? What about William Contreras in particular. The news is decent on the injury front, and Jacob Misiorowski, Dustin May, Logan Henderson and Jake Bauers are all stars. What's up with the rotating wheel of infield options (and can any of them make a play on defense)? In Three Up Three Down (33:30), they discuss a meltdown in San Diego starring Luis Rengifo, some quality moments of defense and Miz's escape against Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman. In Remembrew When (48:15), JR looks back at another time the Dodgers edged out the Brewers for a trade-deadline prize ... and then faced the Brewers in short order like Tarik Skubal on Sunday. In Curt Blanche (52:45), Curt has a saucy take about the Dodgers. Then, JR sits down with Brewers minor leaguers Jacob Hurtubise and Kaleb Bowman (1:01:30), who may not be household names but have intriguing baseball journeys. It's part of JR's visit to the Nashville Sounds last week.

This thread will be utilized for any minor league news Sunday. Organizational Scoreboard Audio Links MiLB TV (Subscribers) *** Sunday's Birthdays: Nashville RHP Akil Baddoo is 28 today. RHP Adrian Bello of DSL Brewers Gold is ten years younger at 18. Enjoy your day, guys!

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Wisconsin valiantly tried to win the farm differential all by themselves with a 15-3 rout. The rest of the day's schedule was lined with losses, including a 10th in a row for the sagging Shuckers. Transactions: N/A Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes (unavailable) Final: Indianapolis (Pirates) 4, Nashville 3, ten innings Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Fall in Extras for Second Time This Week - Sproat tallies eight strikeouts, allowing one hit through 5.0 scoreless innings Detailed game summary as always. You know, I thought I had fun with wordplay from time-to-time but between Nashville's Social Media Admin (see the two videos within the above link) and the nightly sub-header titles ("Let Me Clear My Sproat", "Tri-Mur"), the Sounds bring their game to try and entertain us nightly. Sal Frelick (right shoulder) walked and stole a base in five plate appearances as the designated hitter, one night after seeing action in right field, a bit too early for back-to-backs on defense, apparently. Would have been sweet for Blake Burke to come up big in the 10th, flyout to center to end the game with the bases juiced as the summary detailed. Looked awkward as heck for Tyler Black in left field in the 6th, thankfully not hurt on this attempted catch - Ghost runner for Indianapolis was still in place with two outs, RHP Blake Holub has been fantastic but was upset with this tiebreaker: Nice glove work earlier in the game from Brock: RHP Brett Wichrowski got an inning of work in on his 24th birthday, seemingly in a bullpen role for the time being. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Pensacola (Marlins) 7, Biloxi 3 Box Score and Game Log Payne Reaches 3 Times in Debut, Shuckers Fall to Blue Wahoos - Guilarte records multi-hit, multi-RBI performance in loss If you think we here on Link Report duty do our best to accentuate the positive, you can imagine the lengths Javik and Max are going to during this ten-game losing streak within their broadcasts and game summaries. We don't know why LF Josh Adamczewski has now missed three games, but the usual cadence of a scheduled Sunday contest followed by the Monday off day means we may not know more until Tuesday, if then. .933 OPS after one AA game for Braylon, that's a small sample we can live with. This is RBI #86 on the season in 102 games for Andrew Fischer - that's impressive regardless of what other aspects of his game folks may focus on. There was a 1970-71 minor leaguer named Gregory Goularte (Twins), that's the closest my last name (Goulart) has come to pro ball. So, despite it not being a match, I'll still smile when a close Venezuelan resemblance of the surname appears in the highlights: Pensacola scored all seven of their runs by the end of the 5th. RHP Bishop Letson only went three innings and threw 51 pitches. This was his 2nd appearance after a three-week injured list stint. RBI single vs. Letson for the first of three Pensacola runs in the 2nd The next run scored on another RBI single that RF Damon Keith then overran for a two-base error In the 3rd, watch as Jesús Made has to spread-eagle 3B Guilarte, leading to Made's 18th error on the season My goodness, Jack Seppings - in his last three outings, two with Nashville, and this one back in Biloxi: 11.1 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 5 B, 8 K LF Mark Coley II was replaced defensively for the top of the 9th by Mike Boeve. Coley had grounded out into a fielder's choice to end the 8th, and the training staff was involved in Coley's removal, though we don't know the nature of the injury (I did check the broadcast archive). Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Wisconsin 15, Cedar Rapids (Twins) 3 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details (with four videos for your enjoyment): Rattlers Crush Kernels - Bitonti homers twice for Wisconsin in 15-3 win at Cedar Rapids Midwest League second half standings - Beloit sweeps a doubleheader and the T-Rats actually drop a half-game Saturday. Boo! Thanks for saving the minor league Saturday schedule, Rattlers! Here are the videos that aren't tucked within that banger of a game summary by Chris Mehring: That's seven clips altogether, not quite the same as the home game package experience, but very helpful nonetheless! Wisconsin plated 15 runs with Luis Peña and Sawyer Strosnider enjoying an evening off. Manager Nick Stanley also only had to utilize two pitchers in southpaw Wande Torres and RH Daniel Corniel, setting up Sunday's finale nicely. An additional note via Spencer on Bitonti: 22-year-old catcher Yannic Walther's High-A sample size is growing (82 plate appearances), and he padded his Wisconsin OPS nicely to .845 in this one, on base four times. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Columbia (Royals) 8, Wilson 5 Box Score and Game Log Columbia Clocks Wilson for Their First Win of the Series - Antunez Records Three Hits Rare hiccup of an outing for 18-year-old RHP Diustin Mayorquin as the game's linescore will show you: 2-2-2-1 is not how one wants to see the early inning runs allowed to appear. You have to go all the way back to May 16th in Maryvale to view anything resembling Saturday's outing for Mayorquin, as the Nicaraguan native's game log will show. The Columbia 'X' admin had a busy night, so you'll be able to see five of Mayorquin's pitches (not in a good way) via that feed. Wilson actually outhit the Fireflies 13-10, but in an extreme rarity for the team that leads the Carolina League in walks drawn by a ton (see here), the Warbirds received zero free passes. As for the good guys, we find: Handelfry Encarnacion's LH swing is fun to watch Carsten Sabathia III's RBI knock, one of two singles on his night (now 6-for-16, one double) Brailyn Antunez scored each of Wilson's three runs, with the Encarnacion double, and Sabathia (twice) driving in Antunez (.400/.507/.817, 1.324 OPS in 73 Wilson plate appearances). Just typing that line for Antunez broke my computer's calculator. This was the night for fine long relief efforts - Jack Seppings and Daniel Corniel as noted above, and RHP Tyler Renz allowed only one run in his four innings here. And as you'll notice below during your box score link clicking, LHP Alexander Mercedes performed admirably as well in the DSL Blue game. Gee, the DSL regular season ends Tuesday, meaning this is the next-to-last Link Report with six games. Love you DSL Blue & Gold, but we won't miss the extra efforts required in our reports, although we are keeping today's updates lean! Final: DSL Rojas (Reds) 4, DSL Brewers Gold 2 Box Score and Game Log As far as DSL games go, I was going to say this was about as clean as they get defensively, over a full nine innings, only one error (Reds, did no damage), But an MLB-quality beauty? No, because Brewers batters drew ten walks, saw Reds' pitchers balk twice and throw two wild pitches, but only scored two runs. Only three singles on the Gold batting hit ledger. Team RISP: 1-for-13. Team LOB: 9. Gold's division lead is 1.5 games (over a Cubs' squad, no less!) Final: DSL LAD Bautista 8, DSL Brewers Blue 1 Box Score and Game Log If the Dodgers were going to take a game Saturday over the Brewers, better that it be this one. 17-year-old Venezuelan RH starter Daniel Munoz managed a scoreless first inning. LA scored six in the 2nd and Munoz did not retire a batter: Walk Infield single HBP Walk Walk Walk Walk Walk RHP Jean Rodriguez did well to strand two of the three runners he inherited. Wilson and Wisconsin play early Sunday afternoon. Biloxi and Nashville host early evening games, and surely the Pensacola and Indianapolis equipment managers won't appreciate the lack of getaway day start times. As for you folks, if you have a Sunday getaway planned, hope it's wonderful! Oh, and Go Brewers in LA!

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic The affiliates won five of six games Friday, though Biloxi and its impressive-on-paper roster has somehow stumbled into a nine-game losing streak. The DSL teams scored a bunch of runs without a bunch of hits. Transactions: Milwaukee Brewers recalled RHP Grant Anderson from Nashville Sounds. Milwaukee Brewers signed free agent RHP Lyon Richardson to a minor league contract, assigned to Nashville Sounds. LHP Jared Koenig assigned to Nashville Sounds from ACL Brewers. Nashville Sounds activated C Ramón Rodríguez from the 7-day injured list. Biloxi Shuckers placed RHP Braylon Owens on the 7-day injured list. Biloxi Shuckers placed C Marco Dinges on the 7-day injured list. C Darrien Miller assigned to Biloxi Shuckers from Nashville Sounds. RHP Jack Seppings assigned to Biloxi Shuckers from Nashville Sounds. OF Braylon Payne assigned to Biloxi Shuckers from Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 9, Indianapolis (Pirates) 1 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Bo Naylor's Multi-HR Night Highlights Sounds' Win I'm going to intersperse video with text from the linked game summary (which you should still read in full): The Sounds powered in front early thanks to the first home run in a Sounds uniform for Bo Naylor. After Sal Frelick drew a six-pitch walk to start the game, Naylor crushed the first offering from Noah Davis to put the Sounds up 2-0. After three straight walks to load the bases, Ethan Murray pushed the lead to four runs with a two-out, two-RBI single. Naylor then connected on his second home run in as many at-bats - his eighth career multi-HR game - to make it 5-0. Two batters later, Akil Baddoo launched his first home run since June 20. A pair of two-out walks in the bottom of the third turned the lineup over to Frelick, who continued to tee-off against Davis with Nashville's fourth home run through three innings to extend the lead to nine. It was the first home run of the rehab assignment for Frelick and his first since game one of a doubleheader against Indianapolis' parent club on July 11. Crow, the Brewers no. 22-rated prospect was excellent on the mound Friday night. The right-hander worked a season-high 6.2 IP without allowing a run on two hits. He struck out six and issued just one walk for his second straight quality start and fourth over his last five games en route to his team-leading seventh win of the season. It marks the 21st career quality start for Crow, who has worked a quality start every time going 6+ IP during his professional career. Friday night was the eighth time doing so without allowing an earned run. He allowed his first hit in the top of the fourth, retiring 10-of-11 to start the game, and facing the minimum until allowing a two-out single to Enmanuel Valdez. The combined shutout was gone after Will Childers was taken deep in the 9th. Eric Brown, Jr. must still be nursing an injury, has yet to play in the four games of this series but remains on the active roster. Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - Brewers Hitting Coordinator Brenton Del Chiaro, consistently one of the best interview subjects in the system, is the latest guest, and his chat is formally linked here. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Pensacola (Marlins) 9, Biloxi 4 Box Score and Game Log Wood Slugs Third Grand Slam of the Season, Shuckers Beaten by Blue Wahoos - Biloxi Loses Ninth Consecutive Contest Blink and you missed the lone Shuckers' highlight of the night, once again brought to you in not-so-glorious standard definition: We'll have to try and drop the snarky comments on the video quality out of Keesler. My goodness, first world problem, right? We're so spoiled compared to not-that-many years ago when we had box scores and little else. As was pointed out in our daily forum thread, only one current healthy Shuckers pitcher has an ERA under 4.50 (RH reliever Edwin Jimenez at 4.05). Here's the stats page. It's a tradeoff. RH starter Manuel Rodriguez kept the ball in the park but walked four men for the first time all season. It was only the 2nd time he has walked three or more. Andrew Fischer singled but fanned twice. He wasn't alone in the K brigade, 11 on the night for Biloxi batters. Fischer is consistent as heck, and let's not forget his .987 Biloxi OPS in 47 games is impressive (hard to match the 1.118 mark posted as a Timber Rattler in 54 games). Those K rates, again consistent - 33.82% with Biloxi, 33.33% with Wisconsin. Fischer remains a fascinating case study. Braylon Payne enjoyed his 20th birthday off as he settled into his new environs. Josh Adamczewski sat for a second consecutive night, hopefully back Saturday. The Blue Wahoos' 'X" feed is packed with unfortunate pitches from the good guys. This one resulted in a fly ball to right field Damon Keith would tell you he should have held on to. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Wisconsin 6, Cedar Rapids (Twins) 0 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details (with four videos for your enjoyment): Dorchies Dominant in Rattlers Shutout Win - Wisconsin picks up much-needed 6-0 victory over Kernels Midwest League second half standings - what a dogfight! Fun promotion for the fans in Cedar Rapids despite the Kernels' loss - Happens to the best of prospects in a tiny two-game sample - Luis Pena 0-for-9 with six K's, golden sombrero here. Plenty of goodness within Chris Mehring's linked report. Remember, the squad is wrapping up a two-week road trip this weekend. A reminder that RHP Ethan Dorchies is 19 years old all season (20 in October). When he is on, and he has been "on" five times in his last nine starts, he's outstanding. Dive deep into his game log and you'll agree it's been a very solid season for the Illinois native. We're only halfway through August, so Eric Bitonti has time to up his .616 OPS for the month. As his monthly splits will show, even when he batted .213 in July, his OPS figure was strong. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wilson 5, Columbia (Royals) 4, 11 innings Box Score and Game Log Warbirds Put the 'Walk' in Walk-Off - Ortuño Leads the Way with Three Hits Four wins in a row, and 1.5 games out of first place. Audio interview from earlier this week - Manager Eddy Morgan discusses Brailyn Antunez and Rylan Mills among others I'd have to research it, but I feel like I've been on Link Report duty for all of Wilson's MiLB-leading 13 walkoffs, meaning the majority have come on Friday and/or Saturday nights. By the way, the manufacturer will need to update this T-Shirt. The Fireflies picked up Chris Edwards' Wilson call on the three-run home run that tied things in the 8th. No walkoff without this! Another box score in which every starter contributed. However, yikes Warbirds! Team RISP: 1-for-20. Team LOB: 12 Check out the "earned runs allowed" column in RHP Hayden Robinson's game log. The recently turned 21-year-old has rocked his 2026 season. Non-drafted 20-year-old RHP Thomas Conrad has been solid but was oh-so-money here. His three scoreless frames included working around the ghost runner in both the 10th and 11th innings as seen in the game log, which you are highly suggested to review for those innings here. Final: DSL Brewers Gold 8, DSL Braves 7 Box Score and Game Log Gold now 33-18. Down 3-1 heading to the bottom of the 6th, the bats (Goldenrods) put up a four-spot on zero hits. DSL action, baby! HBP K (Ricki Moneys) Walk Walk Wild Pitch Popout Balk Wild Pitch The four Brewer pitchers only combined to walk three, but they plunked four. RHP Justin Lugo picked up the save in his first outing since switching over from DSL Blue. He didn't strike anyone out here, but has 29 K's in 18.1 innings in this, his 2nd pro season. Lugo's season-long stats aren't particularly shiny, but you'd win a bar bet or two by naming him as the Brewers' lone mound representative in last month's All-Star Game. Moneys and 17-year-old outfielder Josue Rodriguez each singled twice and were responsible for four of the team's five hits, with the only other knock a double by wunderkid Leander Matos, who is a "young" 17 - July 2nd birthday. Final: DSL Brewers Blue 11, DSL Red Sox Blue 7 Box Score and Game Log Six combined errors (three each team) only led to three unearned runs total. Red Sox pitchers threw six wild pitches, Brewers RH starter Brailin Aguirrez had two of his own. Imagine how many pitches in this league would be formally ruled as wild if ones that went to the backstop with no one on base were included. When did "Brailin", "Braylon", etc. become a hot trend birth name? Apparently 18-20 years ago, it seems. After six innings, Blue trailed 7-4. Shortstop Diego Frontado's 10th (!) HR led off a four-run 7th in which there was only one other base hit, a single. Then, the Blue Man Group plated three insurance runs in the top of the 9th on zero hits! Two different opponents, similar madcap results within the Crew's two island affairs Friday. This time in a bulk relief role, just-turned 18-year-old Venezuelan RHP Jesus Sanchez shined again, as not only the box score but his July and August game logs will show you. It's a solid starting pitcher lineup Saturday, with Bishop Letson, Wande Torres, and Diustin Mayorquin joining enigma Brandon Sproat in evening action. Have a great late-summer Saturday, all!

Pregame Audio Tuesday 8/11: - Manager Eddy Morgan discusses Brailyn Antunez and Rylan Mills among others

Catcher Ramon Rodriguez (last played June 25) activated from Nashville’s IL. This helps explain the Darrien Miller back to Biloxi move.

Via our Transaction Thread: -- C Darrien Miller transferred to Biloxi from Triple-A Nashville -- RHP Jack Seppings transferred to Biloxi from Triple-A Nashville Certainly, neither Miller nor Seppings did anything to warrant being demoted. Wonder if Andrick Nava is about to be activated from Nashville's Development List, or if Jeferson Quero is finally ready to get behind the plate.
