Programming note: So, let's start by saying wow, the TV broadcast schedule for the Timber Rattlers has really expanded beyond what was an already ambitious originally scheduled set of telecasts announced back in April. The next four games (Wed. through Sat.) are on TV, and the home games are now broadcast more often than not. Not sure if there is another minor league affiliate anywhere enjoying that level of coverage for the locals. Even if one is always first drawn to the big league club, you've got DVR ability to self-scout later on when they play at the same time. Tonight's game is on MyNew32 TV with "Showdown: Timber Rattlers Pre-Game" airing at 6:30. Of course, if watching live, synch it up with Chris Mehring's audio .

Delmonico just turned 21. Despite missing approx. six weeks in April and May with the concussion (slid into second base), he is 5th in the High-A Carolina League in HR's. He just barely fails to qualify in the rate categories due to the missed AB's, but if listed, his .469 SLG would be 6th in the league. All this while maintaining a .350 OBP (to match his .351 in the low-A South Atlantic League last year as a 19-20 year old (birthday July 12th). He'll still be 21 for the first 3+ months of his 2014 season in Huntsville. This is a legitimately exciting "get" for Doug. It is so rare the Brewers have prospects well ahead of the age/production nexus. It will be exciting to see him face High-A pitchers that have not seen him yet (vice versa, of course) these next five weeks.

Maryvale falls, 7-5 Strong game for SS Tucker Neuhaus; we may need to temper the over-the-top Gian Rizzo enthusiasm (still someone to follow, looks to have gotten too much of the plate last night - 9 H, 0 BB). More detailed report later today, but early-reading Link Reporters, feel free to cover this one, thanks.
