Major milestones help River Ridge grad Seth Harvey get through Tommy John surgery, recovery By Meg Wochnick, the Olympian (WA) Achieving milestones, both major and minor, is how Seth Harvey negotiated his road to recovery stemming from two words pitchers fear: Tommy John. Harvey, a 2006 graduate of River Ridge, is in his fifth year in the Milwaukee Brewers organization, and hasn’t pitched a full season since his All-Star year with Single-A Appleton (Wisconsin) in 2012. Thirteen months following Tommy John surgery, a procedure in which the elbow’s ulnar collateral ligament is reconstructed, the 26-year-old right-hander’s comeback trail is nearing an end. He was reassigned to the Appleton Timber Rattlers on July 20 after rehabilitation in Arizona since June 2013. Harvey knows the game was close to being taken from him. Motivation replaced devastation with every passing day. “Breaking it down to chunks helps keep your mind focused,” he said. “You can really see your accomplishments.” While some pitchers feel an instant pop after injuring their elbow, Harvey’s ailment was gradual. For two days while pitching for Advanced-A Brevard County (Florida) in May 2013, his forearm was sore but not hurting. A third day of soreness led to a precautionary MRI that revealed what Harvey said was a “completely torn” ligament. Several weeks later, he was in Milwaukee for a surgery. He did not pitch after mid-May but still was named to the All-Star team after compiling 10 saves — third in the league at that time. Rehabilitation in Arizona took 13 months, and was not without a few minor setbacks. Harvey didn’t get full range of motion in his elbow for two months. He didn’t throw a baseball until the fourth month, and was hesitant at first. A sports psychologist helped him work through his issues. “A lot of trust issues had to be addressed,” said Harvey, who hit .385 with six home runs as a high school senior, leading River Ridge to the then-Pacific-9 League title. “(Throwing) was great, but it also was terrifying at the same time. The first time was amazing.” He already has had one relief appearance for the Timber Rattlers, a team where he earned his first of two All-Star appearances, and said he’s had no ill effects from a surgery and recovery that already has claimed 28 major leaguers — 45, including minor leaguers — in 2014. He said his fastball has hit 94 mph. For pitchers who need the surgery, which has become prevalent in recent years in the major and minor leagues, Harvey has this advice: remain positive, stay focused, and attack the challenges. “It’s all part of the process of getting back on the field,” Harvey said.

Final: Chattanooga 4, @Huntsville 1 Lookouts End Stars Winning Streak Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars Huntsville, AL - The Chattanooga Lookouts ended the Huntsville Stars three game winning streak Wednesday night by salvaging the final game of their five game series with a 4-1 win at Joe Davis Stadium. The game was tied at 1-1 in the top of the ninth and the Lookouts broke the tie against Stars reliever Kevin Shackelford (1-3) who allowed back to back singles to Scott Schebler and O-Koyeah Dickson to start the inning. With runners on the corners and nobody out, Corey Seager hit a deep fly ball to left. Schebler tagged and scored from third on the sacrifice fly giving the Lookouts a 2-1 lead. Later in the inning, Dickson was able to score on a wild pitch by Shackelford making it 3-1 Lookouts. Shackelford, who took the loss ended up pitching 1.1 innings and allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits. Manny Barreda came into the game to relieve Shackelford and he issued a wild pitch with Noel Cuevas batting allowing Daniel Mayora to score from third base extending the lead to 4-1. The only run of the game that the Stars scored was in the bottom of the fourth inning. Stars first baseman Nick Ramirez hit his 17th home run of the season to right field to tie the game at 1-1. Brent Suter, who started for Huntsville, took a no-decision as he pitched six innings allowing one run on six hits. Suter also struck out eight. Chattanooga's Jhan Marinez (6-1) earned the win out of the bullpen with Jarrett Martin collecting his fourth save. The Stars (19-21, 65-45) still won the series 3-2 over the Lookouts (14-24, 40-68). The Stars will continue their ten-game homestand Thursday night with the first of five games against the Jacksonville Suns, the Double-A Affiliate of the Miami Marlins. The Stars will have RHP Drew Gagnon (7-5, 3.50) start. Jacksonville will send RHP Jose Urena (9-7, 3.38) to the mound.

Tristan Archer hits targets for Rattlers Wisconsin pitcher strikes out 11 in seven innings in win over Kane County Mike Woods, Post-Crescent Media GRAND CHUTE – It was a night when Tristan Archer showed what could be. The Wisconsin starter turned in a masterful performance Wednesday in what otherwise has been a pedestrian season, striking out a season-high 11 over seven innings, allowing no runs, no walks and scattering five hits in the Timber Rattlers’ 2-0 Midwest League victory over Kane County before 4,854 fans on Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium. Archer, a 21st-round pick by the Brewers in the 2013 draft out of Tennessee Tech, entered the game with a 3-5 record and 4.15 ERA. He left with a 4-5 mark, a 3.81 ERA and a higher degree of self-assurance. “It’s definitely a confidence builder,” said Archer, whose previous best strikeout total this season was five. “I feel I’ve had a few starts lately that haven’t been what I know I’m capable of when I feel like this. Hopefully I can continue this and keep rolling with the way I’ve been throwing.” It’s about consistency for every player at every level, and Wisconsin manager Matt Erickson said this was the kind of game that can lead to even bigger things. “I think quite a bit,” said Erickson. “It becomes contagious. Building momentum and belief. You see that in some of our other young pitchers.” Archer’s fastball topped out at 92 mph and his off-speed pitches checked in at 76 mph. With his ability to get ahead in the count the majority of the night, it allowed him to dictate the at-bats. That was vital as he was going up against the Cougars’ Jen-Ho Tseng, who entered the game with a 6-0 mark, 2.68 ERA and had given up just 11 walks on the season. “I’m sure Archer had a little bit of that in him tonight, knowing he had to match up against that,” said Erickson. “He was going to have to be good for us to have a chance and he was very good. He did a nice job, getting ahead early and then start spinning his slider over early in counts to get them off the sinker. He was awesome.” While Archer was stellar on the mound, Taylor Brennan was his equal at third base with a pair of picks that allowed him to escape damage. “Tonight, fortunately, I was able to have command of all four of my pitches which I guess doesn’t happen every single time,” said Archer. “When it does, it’s actually a very good thing to have going for you. “And I had Brennan at third base. I know he made plays left and right for me, so that’s another thing that really helps.” So does having enough offense to carry you through the night. Omar Garcia provided that with a pair of hits, two runs scored and three stolen bases. And as was the case Tuesday, the Cougars had the tying runs in scoring position in the ninth, but it was the Rattlers who came up with the big plays. “The game ended on a gutsy play by our shortstop (Angel Ortega),” said Erickson. “A sharp-hit ball; there wasn’t much he could do footwork-wise to get in fielding position. Basically he had to barrel it up and he did, threw himself in front of it and knocked it down, picked it up and made a strong throw. If we can get those kinds of plays in those situations, it creates belief in our clubhouse.”

A Huntsville fan posted video of Nick Shaw's walkoff double from Monday night. In what could be my very last Stars game (after moving to Huntsville in 2009 and seeing over 150 games) the boys deliver in dramatic fashion, something I have been fortunate enough to see happen many, many times. Cool...hopefully Huntsville evnetually gets a new stadium and team.

Final: @Brevard County 4, Jupiter 3 Johnson's gem provides 'Tees 4-3 win over Jupiter Left-hander ties Tyler Wagner for team-lead in wins with victory By Justin Rocke / Brevard County Manatees http://www.milb.com/assets/images/2/0/8/72598208/cuts/Johnson_4.18_1_640x360_1o4qbjo6_2i8vsv7m.jpg Brevard County starting pitcher Hobbs Johnson, seen here in a game from earlier this season, went a career-high eight inning and retired 17 straight batters, as the Manatees defeated the Jupiter Hammerheads, 4-3 at Space Coast Stadium on Tuesday night. (Dennis Greenblatt/Hawk-Eye Sports Photography) VIERA, Fla. - Starter Hobbs Johnson dominated and went a career-high eight innings, as the Brevard County Manatees won their third straight and defeated the Jupiter Hammerheads, 4-3 on Tuesday night at Space Coast Stadium. Johnson (10-7, 3.15 ERA) showed a bit of rust after Brevard (19-15 second half, 55-45 overall) and Jupiter (10-27, 37-69) were delayed by rain and high winds for an hour and 12 minutes prior to tonight's contest, but picked up steam after the third. After allowing a run on a bloop single to right by Justin Bohn, Johnson retired the next two batters to end the inning. That set in motion a streak of 17 straight Hammerheads sat down in order, which lasted until the start of the ninth inning. With the Manatees ahead 4-1, manager Joe Ayrault sent Johnson back out to the mound in the final frame, as the left-hander looked to finish off his first career complete game. However, it was not in the cards. Johnson worked full counts on the first two hitters, both of whom reached base. Bohn grounded a single to center and Colin Moran drew a walk to bring the tying run to the plate and end the lefty's night. Johnson finished the evening with three runs allowed on four hits, walked two and struck out four. With the win, the North Carolina product tallied his first victory in the month of July and tied Tyler Wagner for the team-lead in that category with 10. They are both now deadlocked for second place in the Florida State League, as Bradenton's Chad Kuhl has the most with 11. Scott Lieser came in to close out the victory, but had an auspicious beginning. The first batter he faced, Matt Juengel, crushed a ball into the left-center field gap. Bohn scored easily and Moran went to third, which cut the 'Tees lead down to two. That was the only hit the Minnesota native would allow. After a sacrifice fly to right by Viosergy Rosa scored Moran and trimmed the lead to 4-3, Lieser shut the door on his second save of the year. Juengel would swipe second base, but Avery Romero skied out to center and Chad Wallach popped out to second to end the ball game. Despite holding the lead for a majority of the ballgame, the Manatees initially had trouble getting hits off Jupiter starter Matt Milroy (0-6, 9.43). The right-hander baffled the 'Tees through the first 4.1 innings. In that time, Milroy struck out five hitters and allowed three baserunners, two of which were on hit-by-pitches. Even with no hits surrendered, Milroy had a lack of control and began to tire in the fifth thanks to a high pitch count. After he plunked Garrett Cooper, the former Illinois star left a fastball over the plate to Brandon Macias. The 'Tees third baseman crushed it deep to left-center for a go-ahead, two-run blast. His second home run of the year was Brevard's first hit of the night and it gave them the lead, 2-1. That was the only hit Milroy would surrender, as his night ended after that inning. The righty pieced together his best start in the FSL, recording seven strikeouts in the loss. In the sixth, the Manatees would tack on two more against reliever Casey McCarthy. Tyrone Taylor started it all off with a bunt single and a stolen base, but the next two hitters struck out. After Taylor swiped third, Victor Roache lined a base-hit into left field to drive home the run and extend the lead to two. Roache swiped Brevard's third bag of the inning to put another runner in scoring position for Alfredo Rodriguez. The Manatees' captain clutch delivered again with a grounder through the middle. Roache motored home to push the advantage to 4-1, but Rodriguez was gunned down trying to go to second on the throw to the plate, which ended the inning. Brevard ran wild again tonight with another four stolen bases against Jupiter's catcher Wallach. In the first two games of this series, the Manatees have tallied 10 stolen bases and have only been caught twice. Michael Reed swiped another bag tonight, which gives him a total of four over the last two nights. The former fifth-round pick is now the active FSL-leader in stolen bases with 27. Damien Magnifico (7-5, 3.67) will look to win his third consecutive decision for the Manatees when he takes the mound at 6:35 PM (5:35 Central). He will be opposed by Jupiter's righty, Austin Brice (6-7, 4.14), who is looking for his first win since July 9.

Rattler Radio Blog - Postgame entry Audio, video, photos... *** The Anthony Banda audio in the blog post is in video form at the article link here. Banda changing it up for Timber Rattlers Tim Froberg, Post-Crescent Media GRAND CHUTE – The change-up is a pitch that most young pitchers struggle to master. Anthony Banda throws it with both confidence and command, and it's helping the 20-year-old left-hander emerge as a solid pitching prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers farm system. Banda threw five shutout innings Tuesday night to extend his scoreless innings streak to 15 and pick up the mound win for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in a 3-2 win over Kane County at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium. In squaring his season record to 6-6 and lowering his earned run average to 3.66, Banda allowed just two hits and struck out seven. Banda, a 10th-round pick by Milwaukee out of San Jacinto Junior College in the 2012 first-year player draft, has worked his way into a serious groove. He has allowed a combined total of five hits in his last two scoreless starts with 13 strikeouts. Banda's fastball registered in the low 90s Tuesday, and he frustrated hitters by throwing his change-up and a curveball for strikes. "He's a fastball, change-up guy," said Wisconsin manager Matt Erickson. "He's a young pitcher that has pretty dang good command of a change-up. Most of the first half of the season, he pitched off his change-up and fastball. The last month or so, he's really tried to work a curveball into the mix. He threw 22 curveballs tonight and got 13 strikes out of it. So you could see he had some confidence in it tonight. "Right now, he does a good job with that changeup, getting righties and lefties out. But if he can add that third pitch, that breaking ball, that will make him really tough to beat." Despite a 35-minute rain delay, Banda found an early rhythm, striking out two of the first three batters he faced. "I thought I had all three of my pitches working and my defense really played well behind me," said Banda. "They were continually on their toes and making plays for me to get me out of innings. The key was just pounding the zone and getting early-count outs because that allows you to go deeper in the game." According to Erickson, Banda threw just seven curveballs in his previous start, but he tripled those numbers on Tuesday. "I've faced them before and they know I'm a fastball, change-up guy," said Banda. "Now, I'm incorporating a curveball and I think I had them guessing throwing all three pitches." Banda is rated by Baseball America as the 27th best prospect in the Milwaukee farm system. "We've been working on his breaking pitches," said Wisconsin catcher Clint Coulter. "He's got great command of the change-up. We were looking at his stats the other day and he was throwing just as many change-ups as he was fastballs. It's crazy how good command he has of his change-up. He can throw it at any time in the count. If we can get that curveball going, he's going to be really dangerous." Coulter socked a two-run homer, and Omar Garcia added an RBI single to give the Rattlers all the runs they needed. Coulter's long blast over the left field wall was his 17th home run of the season, tying him with Michael Ratterree for the team lead. His round-tripper came off losing pitcher Duane Underwood, a second-round pick by the Chicago Cubs in 2012. "I'm just trying to get on base, that's the name of the game," said Coulter, a first-round pick by the Brewers in the 2012 draft. "It was a curveball down the middle, a little bit low and the spin on it, well it wasn't one of his tighter ones." Banda was lifted after 80 pitches, and Victor Diaz allowed two runs on four hits in three innings before Luke Curtis pitched a scoreless ninth. The Cougars had the tying run on third base with one out in the ninth, but Carlos Penalver lined out to third baseman Taylor Brennan, who stepped on the third-base bag to double off Kane County's Giuseppe Papaccio for a game-ending double play. *** Anthony Banda (Photo: Dan Powers/Post-Crescent Media) http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/0655cc32eef645e511a2829174198b7f866f870d/c=91-0-3140-2294&r=x404&c=534x401/local/-/media/Appleton/2014/07/30/apcrattlersvscougarslead1072914djp0229.jpg

Final: @Huntsville 2, Chattanooga 0 Bradley Does It All In Stars' Victory Jed's Gem Leads Stars to Series Win Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars Huntsville, AL - Huntsville native Jed Bradley (4-5) did it all Tuesday night for the Huntsville Stars. He pitched six shutout innings and also provided the only offense in a 2-0 win over the Chattanooga Lookouts at Joe Davis Stadium in Huntsville. Bradley, broke up the scoreless game in the fifth as he was locked up in a terrific pitcher’s duel with Chattanooga lefty Chris Reed (4-8). With the bases loaded and one out, Bradley worked the count full against Reed. On a 3-2 pitch, Bradley grounded a two-run single into left field scoring Joey Paciorek and Shea Vucinich giving the Stars a 2-0 lead. That two-run hit by Bradley proved to be enough offense for the Stars. Bradley fired six shutout innings. He allowed six hits and struck out six. Bradley, in his last two home starts, is now 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in eleven innings against Tennessee and Chattanooga. Greg Holle pitched scoreless seventh and eighth innings out of the Stars bullpen. It was Holle’s fifth consecutive scoreless appearance. David Goforth came on in the ninth inning and recorded a 1-2-3 inning. Goforth, who earned his Southern League best 22nd save of the year, struck out Corey Seager to end the game. The Stars (19-20, 65-44) lead the Lookouts (13-24, 39-68) 3-1 in their series which ends Wednesday. The Stars will have LHP Brent Suter (9-8, 4.49) on the mound. Chattanooga will send RHP RHP Steve Smith (0-0, 10.80) to the hill. The game can be heard starting at 6:15 pm CDT on 92.9 FM, 1450 AM and wtkiradio.com.

Offensively, the Crew managed seven singles, seven walks, and two HBP's, but stranded 12 men. RF Yerald Martinez singled twice and walked, stealing two bases. Entering this game, the Brewers had the fewest steals in the 36-team league, and not only that, they had less than a 50% success rate (34 SB/36 CS).
