Sunday 7/14: Postgame shows after the 9-3 win over the Nationals - Via WTMJ: Dom Cotroneo hosts, Craig Coshun is the guest Via 97.3's "Baseball Postgame Show" - Tim Allen hosts Locked on Brewers with Chuck Freimund - "The Brewers Head to the Break Better Than Most of Us Thought" Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "The Brewers will take a 4 1/2 game lead into the all-star break, which isn't bad considering the team limped through the past two weeks, including a clunky 2-4 homestand against the Pirates and Nationals. Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak joins host JR Radcliffe to assess the Brewers at the midway point, including the team's biggest surprises and disappointments. Does this team really have a big postseason run in its holster? What changes should be expected in the rotation, especially now that Dallas Keuchel has been dropped for the roster, and the bullpen, with so many players due back from injury soon? The Brewers made their first four draft picks Sunday, and Three Up Three Down looks back at big performances from Paul Skenes, Jesse Winker and Tobias Myers. Remembrew When revisits a haunting finish to the first half in a previous season, and Todd's Take of the Week looks at the break (or lack thereof) ahead. Then, JR sits down with Rhys Hoskins, the slugging first baseman who's up to 14 homers on the season, tied for the team lead. They talk card games, going undercover, the Home Run Derby, rehab and the possibility of facing the Phillies in the postseason."

So much for pointing out yesterday that the full-season affiliates were showing the big boys in Milwaukee how to take care of business heading into the All-Star break. But Nashville and Biloxi are still trending nicely as of late despite Saturday losses, and a very successful Wisconsin team was rained out, certainly no harm on their part there, other than a delayed Devin Williams appearance. First-half champion Carolina suddenly can't score runs and have lost four in a row. However, there's a mega power brewing in the Dominican, as the Crew's Team Uno squad sits in first place in their division after nine straight wins. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Let's breakdown the Saturday on the farm. Transactions: Nashville Sounds sent 3B Christian Arroyo on a rehab assignment to ACL Brewers. Carolina Mudcats sent RHP Gerson Calzadilla on a rehab assignment to ACL Brewers. This is Arroyo's 2nd rehab stint in Maryvale. His first began on June 15th and ended after one week and three games (1-for-10, 1 BB, 4 K). Though the Mudcats' Cooper Pratt popped out in his lone Futures Game at-bat, he made his mark later on - Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes (unavailable for this date) Final: Iowa (Cubs) 4, Nashville 3 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, game details, and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Come Up Just Short Versus I-Cubs in Front of the Largest Crowd of the Season - Isaac Collins has two-RBI triple in 4-3 loss Down 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth, the Sounds had two runners on base with zero outs courtesy of singles by Joey Wiemer and Francisco Mejía. But a strikeout, caught stealing and another strikeout ended the comeback effort and Nashville’s five-game winning streak. The inning actually happened this way, as per the game log, with a force-out at second base off the bat of Brewer Hicklen. With the tying run on 3rd base and one out, Hicklen was caught trying to steal second base. That wasn't wise or fortunate. Wes Clarke fanned to end things. Tyler Black had the night off. Joey Wiemer and Owen Miller had matching doubles, singles and walks. RHP's Taylor Clarke and Evan McKendry walked zero and fanned seven in their combined 8.1 innings of four run ball (three earned), with Kevin Herget retiring the only two batters he faced in between their outings. Isaac Collins looked wonderful with this smoke show liner, but playing second base, his second inning throwing error led to an unearned run that proved costly given the final score. You'll find three additional video highlights at the Sounds' "X" feed. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Chattanooga (Reds) 9, Biloxi 5 Box Score and Game Log Shuckers Fall to Lookouts on Saturday Night - Rodriguez hits first home run of the season in multi-RBI effort, Martinez tallies three hits Normally we accentuate the positive whenever we can. But the fact that starter Logan Henderson was touched for three home runs in his three-inning outing is such an outlier, many of you may wish to see those three pitches (all fastballs, it appears). The Chattanooga "X" feed obliges (it includes the Lookouts' 4th HR of the game as well, surrendered by TJ Shook on an off-speed pitch). Speaking of outliers, the "D" in Carlos D. Rodriguez' name does not stand for "deep fly", but here we go: Ernesto Martinez doubled, singled twice and walked. Reaching base four times will nearly always net you a Link Report mention. Martinez also with one of his patented stretches here: Dylan O'Rae walked twice, he's walked 11.8% of the time at AA, and with the lack of base hits thus far at that level, the walk pace will need to bump up even further. O'Rae is now 41-for-48 in SB attempts with a successful one in this game. Eric Brown, Jr. missed a second consecutive game, will he play in the final game before the break? Saturday’s Game Between Wisconsin and West Michigan Suspended in Second Inning Teams will conclude the game on Sunday at 1:10 PM All the details at the link above. Sunday's game is, in effect, lost to time. No doubleheader makeup. Devin Williams hopefully enjoyed his Appleton hotel last night. Final, Game One: Fredericksburg (Nationals) 5, Carolina 2 Box Score and Game Log Final, Game Two: Fredericksburg (Nationals) 5, Carolina 0 Box Score and Game Log Mudcats Swept In Doubleheader Sadly, the team used that same subject line when the Mudcats last played on Thursday. At least the Mudcats scored on Saturday. This was pretty, though (how was it not mentioned in the brief recap linked above?) RHP Josh Knoth walked two and struck out nine in 4.2 innings (80 pitches). One of his four runs allowed was after the left the game. So, we linked to the pitches Logan Henderson surrendered bombs on above. We don't want to make this a regular feature, but since the Mudcats bats were quiet in this game, you can watch the Josh Knoth pitches here and here. In the nightcap, the offensive highlight was LF Luis Castillo's three walks, that'll tell you something. Very encouraging line from 19-year-old RHP Bishop Letson, and you can watch the last of his six K's here. 24-year-old "veteran" infielder Jose Acosta sat out both games, odd with Cooper Pratt's infield absence. Speaking of which, have we checked Pratt's plane tickets? What is his post-Futures Game destination? Final: ACL Brewers 5, ACL Rockies 2, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Down 2-1 heading into the final inning on the road, the A-Crew rallied for four runs. The go-ahead knock was an RBI double by shortstop Tyler Rodriguez. Hey, how about more Carolina speculation? You know who didn't play in this game before Sunday's day off in Maryvale? Third baseman Eric Bitonti, second baseman Josh Adamczewski, for that matter, throw in defensively-challenged catcher Edgardo Ordonez and his seven home runs. Oh, can't wait for some roster shakeups... Kudos, 19-year-old southpaw Bjorn Johnson, outstanding line. Final: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 8, DSL Reds "Rojos" 4 Box Score and Game Log Final: DSL Astros Orange 2, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 1 Box Score and Game Log I have to once again direct folks to our daily forum thread for a series of eight consecutive DSL-centric posts. Thanks for allowing me to wrap things up this Sunday morning as such. Best wishes to all the Brewers scouts this week, enjoy the draft, enjoy the major and minor league action today. Stay safe and until next time, friends.
