Yesterday you heard Jeff Hem's call from Monday's game -- Monday -- Third baseman Jason Rogers went 4-for-5 to pace the Nashville offensive attack, matching his career high for hits in a game (fifth occurrence). Rogers gave the Sounds a 1-0 lead when he led off the second inning with a first-pitch rocket to left off Albuquerque starter Barry Enright, the infielder's eighth AAA home run of the year, and 15th overall. AUDIO: Jason Rogers HR *** VIDEO: Now you can watch it with the home feed call from Albuquerque.

Look for any media tidbits and extras later this AM, thanks.

Final, Game One: Jackson 6, @Huntsville 2 Final, Game Two: Huntsville 2, Jackson 1 Hometown Morris Delivers In DH Split Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars Huntsville, AL - Huntsville native Hunter Morris lifted his hometown Huntsville Stars to a 2-1 victory Tuesday night in game two of a doubleheader against the Jackson Generals at Joe Davis Stadium. With Jackson already having won game one, and game two tied at 1-1 in extra innings, Morris came through with a clutch hit. With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the eighth, Morris lined a game winning single over right fielder Kevin Rivers' head, scoring Shea Vucinich for the game winning run. With the win, the Stars earned a split in their doubleheader with Jackson. It was the Stars eighth win of the season in their final at bat. Morris led the Stars in game two with a 2-4 performance including the game winning hit as he was rushed by his teammates between first and second base. Huntsville got a terrific starting pitching performance from RHP Jacob Barnes. Barnes pitched six innings and only gave up two hits on one earned run. He struck out three as he took a no decision. Greg Holle (3-2) earned the win out of the Stars bullpen. Holle threw two scoreless innings and struck out one. Holle pitched a 1-2-3 eighth, setting the stage for the Stars heroics in the bottom of the inning. Huntsville Game Two Box Score Three of RHP Jacob Barnes last four starts have been very strong. At 25 next April, he'll likely return to AA as a big part of next year's rotation, looking to move up midseason 2015. Hunter Morris and Nick Ramirez have been swapping 1B/DH duties this series, but the final ten games of the season, starting Friday, won't afford that luxury. Huntsville Game Two Game Log In game one, the Generals pounced on Huntsville LHP Jed Bradley (5-7) hitting three home runs, two against Bradley, in a 6-2 win over the Stars. Jackson third baseman D.J. Peterson hit a pair of two-run home runs against Bradley. With the Generals already ahead 1-0, Peterson's first two-run homer in the top of the third made it 3-0. Peterson then in his very next at bat in the fourth, clubbed a two-run homer again to put Jackson up 5-0. Jabari Blash then hit the Generals' third home run of the game in the top of the fifth against Stars reliever Tommy Toledo. It was a solo shot that gave Jackson a 6-0 advantage. The only runs the Stars scored were in the bottom of the sixth off Tyler Olson (8-7). Hector Gimenez hit a two-run homer to right center, his fifth of the season. It was also his third straight game with a homer. Olson, who earned the win, pitched 5.1 effective innings. He allowed two runs on seven hits. Bradley, who suffered the loss, went 3.2 innings and gave up five runs on seven hits. He also walked four and struck out two. The Stars (27-31,73-55) lead Jackson (26-32,57-70) 2-1 in their five game series. The series continues Wednesday night with RHP Austin Ross (0-2, 3.72) on the mound for Huntsville. Jackson will send RHP Stephen Landazuri (6-4, 3.83) to the hill. The game can be heard starting at 6:15 CDT on 92.9 FM, 1450 AM and wtkiradio.com. Huntsville Game One Box Score "Frustrating Jed" on the mound Tuesday, when he's good, he's very good, but... Catcher Robinzon Diaz 3-for-3 with a double as he bides his time until another minor league free agent period. Huntsville Game One Game Log

Can't wait for this walkoff audio, hopefully video, too -- had to be running on a 3-2 count, right? *** Brevard County Bottom of the 9th Pitching Change: Chris Smith replaces Kyle Haynes. Parker Berberet strikes out swinging. Brandon Macias singles on a line drive to right fielder Aaron Judge. Nathan Orf reaches on a fielding error by shortstop Cito Culver. Brandon Macias to 2nd. Orlando Arcia grounds into a force out, pitcher Chris Smith to second baseman Anderson Feliz. Brandon Macias to 3rd. Nathan Orf out at 2nd. Orlando Arcia to 1st. Tyrone Taylor singles on a soft pop up to second baseman Anderson Feliz. Brandon Macias scores. Orlando Arcia scores.

Guessing there will be some playoff-positioning critical games in September this year . In other words, ain't gonna happen, sorry. But your other point is well taken, fine progress year for Jungmann.

Jeff Hem with a Hector Gomez injury tweet - bummer. Prior to this healthy (to date) season, Gomez has dealt with years of serious groin injuries.

Sthervin - The Legend Grows Matos also homered in his Helena debut July 5th. EDIT: Actually this is his 2nd Wisconsin game.

AUDIO via Jeff Hem's blog -- "Tonight’s interview is with Isotopes pitcher and former Sound Jeff Bennett, who beat the Sounds on Sunday with a quality start. He pitched for the Sounds in three different seasons — ’03, ’05, ’10 — and was with the Sounds in ’05 when they won in Tacoma to clinch the Pacific Coast League Championship. Bennett, who was born in Donelson, grew up in Gordonsville and now makes his home in Nashville, shares some of his Greer Stadium memories and his love of Nashville as a community and sports town."

Here's the latest in terms of all across baseball - list of all PDC agreement terms, and conjecture about the future - Ballpark Digest lists the Rockies as wanting to move out of Colorado Springs. Fresno (for ballpark effects) would be a more reasonable fit for the Crew (see prior rumor), should be fun. A few desirable options may free up at High-A, where it's been oddly quiet from Brevard County re: the Brewers. Affiliate Dance: 2014

Tim Dillard's latest -- “Loogie McLoogerson”

There may be others in this situation, we'll check, since Helena and Maryvale don't make use of DL placements, but RHP Taylor Stark of Maryvale (30th round, Delta State) since July 28th, when he walked four in only 2/3 of an inning.

OK, yeah, should be OK now, feel better. Should have known MLBAM (or, in this case, MiLBAM ) would never take a step back.

My goodness, how can the Brewers not add SS Hector Gomez to the 40-man roster immediately after the Nashville season to prevent him from leaving via minor league free agency? The former cup-fo-coffee big league Rockie will be entering his prime at age 27 in 2015. What an awesome breakout season. By the way, our always-thorough analysis of which Brewer farmhands will be eligible for minor league free agency after the season will be out later this week, so do look forward to that, thanks.

Sunday's Game -- VIDEO: Nashville's Eugenio Velez lines an RBI double in the Sounds' 4-2 loss at Albuquerque *** Monday -- Third baseman Jason Rogers went 4-for-5 to pace the Nashville offensive attack, matching his career high for hits in a game (fifth occurrence). Rogers gave the Sounds a 1-0 lead when he led off the second inning with a first-pitch rocket to left off Albuquerque starter Barry Enright, the infielder's eighth AAA home run of the year, and 15th overall. AUDIO: Jason Rogers HR Hector Gomez, Sean Halton, and Matt Clark each plated a pair of runs for the Sounds in the win. Gomez finished a single short of the cycle for Nashville during his 3-for-5 night. The shortstop is batting .385 (20-for-52) over his last 15 games. Gomez staked the visitors to a 4-3 lead by belting his team-leading 15th home run of the campaign, a two-run shot to left, in the 4th. AUDIO: Hector Gomez 2-Run HR The Sounds tacked on three more runs in the seventh when Pete Orr coaxed a walk from reliever Red Patterson and raced home to score on a Jason Rogers double before Matt Clark continued his recent hot hitting by slammed a two-run homer, his 11th of the year. Clark is hitting .464 (13-for-28) with six home runs and 10 RBIs during the club's current seven-game road trip. AUDIO: Matt Clark 2-Run HR

What did Brewers scouts see in 22-year-old Helena RHP Junior Rincon after his release by the Marlins? That was a whiff. Rincon can also thank RHP Ryan Deeter for stranding three of his baserunners Monday.

Final: AZL Brewers 10, @AZL Rangers 5 Three-run top of the 6th broke a 3-3 tie, nice add-on runs with two each in the 8th and 9th... Maryvale Box Score The Monte Harrison HBP removal was noted earlier in the thread, thanks. Harrison actually stayed in the game and stole second base, eventually scored, and then was pulled prior to the bottom of the 1st. Big, big game for SS Jake Gatewood, 3-for-5 with four RBI, including a three-run HR, a blast to center field, his 3rd HR of the summer. Maryvale Game Log 15th round RHP Caleb Smith (Rice) got the start and walked five in two innings, giving him 22 walks in 23.2 innings on the summer. Otherwise, RHP's Angel Ventura, Jordan Yamamoto, and Kaleb Earls fared well over the final seven frames.

Huntsville rained out; doubleheader at 5:30 Tuesday.

AUDIO via Jeff Hem's blog -- "Tonight’s interview is our weekly chat with Sounds manager Rick Sweet, who discusses the eight-game road trip to this point (3-3), the hot hitting from first baseman Matt Clark and recent additions to the team such as catcher Adam Weisenburger and pitchers Jay Jackson and Billy Buckner."

Really? The reduction in splits information is drastic. Where are the monthly stats? And just raw batting average or batting average against for splits? No clue as to sample size for any split line, such as vs. LHP or RHB. A big step down, and I was going to contact MiLB to voice concerns, they've always been good about getting back to us in the past. Maybe I'm missing something, but I really dislike the new format and find it lacking big-time compared to the past.
