@BrewersPD announces that 3B Stephen Parker, who had yet to see action in 2014, has been released. He was acquired for RHP Darren Byrd in spring 2013. Byrd, by the way, is out of baseball at the moment. *** Brewers also announce that RHP Johnnie Lowe returns to Huntsville from the Sounds. Nashville has two spots open on the roster, but they will likely be re-filled soon (once Lyle Overbay returns from paternity leave and Ariel Pena comes off the 7-day DL).

This line later from Uecker was good. I was watching, but if it was radio-only, it would have been frustrating. Ueck was so taken aback it took a full 30 seconds or so before he actually explained what happened. Once he started to clarifying things he was very good (i.e, the napkin), but that would have been a frustrating listen eventually. Love MLB videos when they go to all four calls like that.

Darn, remember when we were all rooting for the Brewers to sign 15th round RHP Buck Farmer of Georgia Tech in the summer of 2012? He went on to be the Tigers' 5th round pick in 2013, and he dazzled in his Midwest League start last night - 7 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 11 K's.

Final: Huntsville 13, @Mississippi 0 STARS ROUT MISSISSIPPI Pearl, MS - The Huntsville Stars scored a season high thirteen runs Friday night as they blanked the Mississippi Braves for the second straight night. The Stars pounded out twelve hits on their way to a 13-0 win at Trustmark Park. Hainley Statia, Nick Ramirez, Jason Rogers and Michael Ratterree all had two RBI nights for the Stars as they improve to 10-5 on the season. Stars starter Tyler Cravy (2-1) threw five scoreless innings and struck out six while only giving up three hits. The Stars pitching staff was outstanding in the final three games against the Braves combining for nineteen consecutive scoreless innings. The Stars scored in the fourth inning against major leaguer Gavin Floyd (0-1) who was making a rehab start for the Atlanta Braves. Josh Prince scampered home on a passed ball to give the Stars a 1-0 lead. The Stars exploded for a five-run fifth inning. With the bases loaded and two outs, Statia was plunked with a pitch by Floyd. Nick Shaw scored to make it 2-0. Ramirez then followed with a two-run single. Rogers connected right after with a two-run double over centerfielder Matt Lipka’s head to make it 6-0. The Stars then scored a season-high six runs in the eighth. Ratterree recorded his first Double-A hit with a two run double. Adam Weisenburger also had an infield RBI single to push the lead to 10-0. Prince was walked with the bases loaded and Statia added an RBI single. Greg Hopkins added a sacrifice fly in the ninth for the Stars thirteenth and final run. The Stars won three out of five from Mississippi and remain in first place in the Southern League North standings. The Stars return to Huntsville Saturday night to begin a five-game series against the Mobile BayBears, the Double-A Affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. As of now the Stars starter is TBA, while Mobile will send RHP A.J. Schuge l(1-0, 1.54) to the mound. The game can be heard starting at 6:15 PM with Steve Jarnicki on 92.9 FM, 1450 AM and http://www.wtkiradio.com. Huntsville Box Score The Stars gave the state of Mississippi a bit of a preview in what seems more and more like a done deal (the Brewers renewing their Player Development Contract with new ownership and playing in Biloxi's new 2015 ballpark). Huntsville with 12 base knocks (two doubles), seven walks, and two HBP (6-for-15 with RISP). Josh Prince, in left field again, with a much-needed game out of the leadoff spot for him, on base four times. All eight starters had at least one hit, enjoy the box score lines. Huntsville Game Log Clean defense. Only one walk from the three hurlers. This game was a manager's dream, if you were in the right dugout -- Ejections: Mississippi Braves Manager Aaron Holbert ejected by HP umpire James Rackley (9th)

Yikes, here are team batting statistics in the Florida State League -- Manatees team average, .205

Manatees score zero runs in 16 Giraffe uniform innings, losing twice. Trivia: Giraffes can lick their own eyes. Hide your eyes from the upcoming game reports.

AUDIO via Jeff Hem's blog -- "Tonight’s interview is with former Brewers all-star, former Sounds manager and longtime Brewers minor league instructor Don Money, who’s been in town for the homestand to watch the Sounds. He discusses this year’s team, including Caleb Gindl and Taylor Green, and shares some memories about playing for the Brewers against the Cardinals in the ’82 World Series, which was near the end of his career."

WRONG! I've since been told this won't be the case. Now, you'll pardon me, because I know what I'm reading on MyNew32's home page, back me up here, folks: MYNEW32 is the place for LIVE local sports in Northeast Wisconsin! Thank you to everyone for another successful and exciting Basketball and Hockey season. Sports Showdown now turns its attention to the Spring and Summer. This year we will air comprehensive live coverage of 30 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Baseball games. In addition we will once again bring the best local racing coverage from the Fox River Racing Club at the Wisconsin International Raceway. Click here for schedule details. This year our games will also be streamed live on our website! Click here for the live video stream.. So apparently that was referring to high school basketball tournament games -- whatever the case, it was (and remains on their site) expressed very poorly. Apologies...
