The DSL Brewers and DSL Athletics are postponed. That's one at each of their sites in the past week. We believe they play two on Thursday the 9th. It's now possible they'll also double-dip on Tuesday the 14th. Undefeated for at least one more day!

"Getting to Know" series continues with Jordan Brown

Manatees' miscues costly in loss to Daytona by Mark DeCotis, Florida Today The Brevard County Manatees gave and the Daytona Beach Cubs graciously accepted, taking advantage of five errors and other miscues to score a 10-4 victory on Sunday at Space Coast Stadium. Daytona Beach improved to a Class A Florida State League-best 41-16, breaking a three-game losing streak, while the Manatees fell to an FSL-worst 21-36. An announced gathering of 1,037 bore witness. The teams conclude their three-game series at 7:05 tonight (6:05 Central) in Daytona Beach. The Manatees are off Tuesday before opening a two-game series against visiting Dunedin Wednesday evening. The Cubs, whose record is among the best in all of professional baseball, banged out 12 hits and put at least one runner on in every inning but the ninth, while the Manatees obliged by playing sloppy defense, tossing three wild pitches, issuing five walks and hitting a batter. "They (Daytona) are a very good club," Manatees manager Jeff Isom said. "They will make you pay for any mistakes that you give, and tonight was exactly what happened. "You can't go out there and commit five errors and expect to win and have less amount of hits than what you're making by errors. "It just wasn't a sharp game for us. It's concerning. It's not how we've been playing. It's not what we're all about. When you're committing that many mistakes, giving teams too many opportunities, it's not a good thing and it's something that will be addressed." The Manatees managed only four hits, two of them solo home runs by Brock Kjeldgaard for his 13th and 14th of the season, good for second in the league. They were his fourth in his past two games. All-Star second baseman Scooter Gennett added a two-run homer in the third inning for his second of the season to cut an early Daytona Beach lead to 5-3 but the hosts could get no closer. The Manatees are 1-8 against the Cubs this season.

VIDEO: Red-hot Taylor Green with an opposite-field RBI double (followed by shaky camera work from New Orleans)

I feel sorry for you, truly. Whether live, DVR, or XM radio driving around in my car, I haven't missed an inning this year, and I don't plan on doing so. I have followed this team since 1973, was 19 years old when Willie McGee broke my heart, and have embraced this season prepared to soak in every precious moment. I'll be ten rows behind the Brewer dugout for two Fenway games. I am ready to bask in the ultimate glory, while still knowing the team could finish one game out of the postseason. I am mentally prepared for that too. If this is about to be the defining season of my baseball fandom, then I am all in as well. Tim Dillard has been a Brewer since 2003. Soak in his sunshine tonight. Think about the bargain that is Rickie Weeks. Ryan Braun is your generation's Robin Yount. Consider John Axford's magical journey via a scout's blizzard persistence. I could go on. And then crack a smile. And enjoy. See you in October, hope you're having fun by then. Sorry to be harsh.

Timber Rattlers profile: No. 30 Tyler Thornburg, pitcher compiled by Mike Woods, Appleton Post-Crescent Quick hits - Age: 22. - Position: Pitcher. - Height, weight: 6-0, 188. - Bats/throws: Right/right. - Resides: Charleston, S.C. - Notes: Selected by the Brewers in the third round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft. ... Regarded as the Brewers' sixth-best prospect, according to Baseball America. ... Attended Charleston Southern, where he played pitcher and outfield. ... Finished career with 24 home runs, fourth-best in school history. ... Through Friday's game, owns a 4-0 record and 1.31 ERA, second-lowest in the Midwest League. … His mother, Dottye, was a junior Olympic swimmer. Favorites - MLB team growing up: "The Atlanta Braves. I grew up in Atlanta, spent most of my life in Atlanta." - MLB player growing up: "My favorite player was Ken Griffey Jr. I played outfield and, growing up, he was a fun person to watch play. I tried to mimic his wing and, of course, I'm not even hitting any more." - Food: "Starting to like brats, being up here a little bit more. I had one the other day made with whey protein. I'm trying different stuff. But I'd definitely have to say steak, a good steak." Musical artist: "I'm a big country guy. Grew up loving country. Pretty much any good country song." NFL team: "Falcons. Just because I grew up in Atlanta. It was definitely tough being a fan going through those '90s years and early 2000s, where we hardly could win three or four games. Then having to go through the Michael Vick era, having those couple of years of not winning between him and Matt Ryan." Q&A Q: You must not have been too happy to see the Falcons finally have a good year, then get dumped at home by the Packers in the playoffs? A: "I was quite upset, especially when I figured I'd have to come up here." Q: How'd you end up at Charleston Southern? A: "They were a college that told me I could play as an outfielder and a pitcher, start my freshman year and play both throughout my career." Q: How hard was being a two-way player in college? A: "It was actually one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my whole life. You couldn't get your bullpens in when you were pitching because you had to play a game that day. Then the day after you pitch, you had to be long tossing from the outfield and you'd have guys running on you. Your arm's sore. You can't really get your backhand through on your swing and then it just wore you down throughout the season. It's only 56 games, but it's kind of like you're doubling that because you're playing every single day and doing multiple things because I even hit when I pitched." Q: Are you glad you did it that way? A: "Oh yeah. Looking back on it, I wouldn't have changed anything." Q: Have you ever petitioned manager Matt Erickson to pinch hit? A: "I actually took BP for the first time the other day and hit about three balls out, out of like seven swings. Then he played a joke on me the next day and told me we were short on guys and so I had to hit for myself when I was pitching. It got me all excited, of course. Then he gave me the real lineup. But I remind him every single day: 'I'm always here if you need me.' " Q: What's the story about the Little League all-star team that you helped come watch you play in college? A: "It's a church that my grandma goes to and helps out with. And they had never really been outside the East Point (Fla.) area. So they got to travel to Florida State. It was fun watching them cheer. They had never really been to a baseball game, any of them, and they all play Little League baseball. So they were cheering really loud. It was fun and we got to take some pictures with them afterward and sign a couple of balls. They had a really good time." Q: What did it feel like to get drafted? A: "Well considering it was a lifelong dream, it was one of those days that, as soon as you find out it's a possibility, you start dreaming about that day. And while it's going on and you watch names roll off that list, you get really nervous and then it's just like a release when you hear your name called. Just pure excitement, followed by a couple of days of more nervousness, realizing that now you have to compete with all these other guys that were drafted." Q: Did you try to model your delivery after Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum or is that just the way you always did things? A: "I do change my mechanics a lot. I have watched him pitch, but I can't really say I try to mimic him too much. It's just one of the ways that I've found out helps me throw the best. He does his own thing. He's a little bit more quirky than I am and it definitely works for him." Q: Your fastball has been reported as high as 95 mph and as high as 98 mph. Which is accurate? A: "I guess it depends on what scouting report you read. Realizing I only had a few games left (in college), I just started cutting it loose and, yeah, I was getting it up there maybe once, twice a game at 98." Q: Do you ever hope to crank it up to 100 mph, just to say you did it? A: "I've thought about that a good bit, especially last year, because it seemed like every outing I was hitting 98 and I thought 'I've got to hit 99 first.' Don't know if I'll ever get there, but it would be nice." Q: Is it fair to say you got your athletic ability from your mom, a junior Olympic swimmer? A: "My dad tries to say I got it from him. But me and mom always know who I got it from." Q: What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses? A: "Biggest strength, I'd have to say, is being athletic. It helps you in a lot of different areas, as far as being able to change your mechanics or make adjustments out on the mound when you're struggling. You can get to bunts, fielding plays and helps you do all the small things. "Things I need to work on is being more consistent. If you look at my outings this year, I had really good ones; I had really bad ones. Trying to get more good ones than bad ones, really. Try to cut down on those walks, cut down on leaving balls up — just being a more complete pitcher." Q: What is your most prized sports possession? A: "Growing up, I had a ton of baseball cards. I still have them. I have a ton of boxes under my bed at my parents' house in Florida." Q: Most famous person you've ever met? A: "I guess they weren't very famous, if I can't think of any of them. I can tell you the person I've always wanted to meet is Nolan Ryan. Always wanted to meet him. I respect the man like crazy." Q: Favorite sports moment you've ever been a part of or watched? A: "Probably being a part of that championship team in Helena. It was awesome. Being able to throw that Game 1 and do what I could to help the team was huge. That was probably the most excited I've ever been after a baseball game." Q: Who is the person you admire most? A: "It really is my parents. They came to every single game, growing up. Every single game in college. Never missed a game. Of course, they hate not being out here, but they came to a bunch of games last year. They try to come up here as much as possible." Q: Best advice you've received? A: "Work harder than the next guy. One of my best friends in college, he was the hardest worker ever. So you try to surround yourself with those kinds of people. His work ethic kind of rubbed off on me. I try to work as hard or harder than all the people I'm competing with and try to be the best." The Tool Box Timber Rattlers pitching coach Chris Hook breaks down Tyler Thornburg: "He's got an average to above-average fastball. It kind of jumps out at you. He has good command of that fastball, throws it anywhere, any part of the plate. He's got a pretty good idea. I think (his fastball) has late life, but I wouldn't say it has action, like a sink or cut or run. I just think it has late life. It just gets up on you. So that's one thing he has. And he has a good idea of where he's throwing it. That's the great thing. He's an athletic kid, has good hand-eye coordination. If he wants to put the ball somewhere, he puts it there. "His changeup can be an above-average major-league pitch for him. He's got a 12 mph differential from his fastball to his changeup. He can throw it for a strike. I think sometimes he doesn't throw it enough. He's learning to pitch with his stuff. He doesn't realize how good it is sometimes. Once he gets comfortable and says, 'Hey, I can throw my fastball at this spot and they have no chance.' That's like it was last game. It was like, 'Here I come.' And, hopefully, he'll continue to do that. He throws a curveball as well. It's not as good as his changeup, but I think it can be an average major-league pitch for him. I think it's a pitch he can command anywhere on the plate. "He's a guy who really, at times, has above-average major-league stuff, with an idea. Plus, he's athletic. A lot of positives. I want him to believe he can dominate every game and know that he can. And once he understands that, there's no stopping him."

Not much going on thus far in 2011 here -- our leader in the clubhouse is "Buzzardo", currently with an active streak of eight, good for a tie for 5th best active in the nation as of Sunday AM.

WSSP AUDIO: Jim Callis from Baseball America joins Sparky

Sounds outfielders have league's best armsSounds lead league in assists by Austin Gwin, The Tennessean An outfield assist is a specialized art. It takes timing, accuracy, power and sometimes even luck to steal an out on the base paths. This season the Sounds have been the best in the Pacific Coast League at getting assists from their outfielders, recording 21 in 54 games entering Saturday night. A big reason for that is newcomer Brett Carroll. Carroll has 10 out of the 21 outfield put-outs. The former Marlin draws his inspiration from his days in the little leagues. "For me it takes me back to being a kid. You let your hair down a,,nd get after it," Carroll said. "That what I like to do in the outfield." It is more than just the throw though that goes into getting an opponent out while he runs the bases. "I like to think a play ahead and play scenarios in my head," Carroll said. "It's important to have good footwork when you are throwing the ball. You have to have a spot where you are trying to throw it. It takes repetition." Fellow Sounds outfielder Brendan Katin has long been known to have one of the better arms in the Milwaukee Brewers organization. Over three-plus years with the Sounds, Katin has amassed 20 outfield assists in either left or right. "Mostly it's just about fielding it clean and getting it out in a timely manner," Katin said. "Sometimes you get a nice easy one-hopper, and your eyes just light up. Here we go, let it fly." The stat is an important one, especially among pitchers, who have to rely on their outfielders for the occasional assist. "Pitchers love looking back there and seeing some of the arms in the outfield," Katin said. Carroll, a Knoxville native and former Middle Tennessee State standout, hopes he can continue to produce from his outfield position and will continue to throw looking for an out. "I have been blessed with a strong arm. Any chance I can take advantage of to get our team outs is what I'm looking to do," Carroll said. "It's controlled, but its reckless abandonment." Katin and the rest of the Sounds hope he can keep the outs coming as well. "Any opportunity he gets to throw, he's throwing," Katin said. "He is ridiculous." Sounds outfielder Brett Carroll has 10 outfield assists this season. / SHELLEY MAYS / TENNESSEAN FILE PHOTO http://cmsimg.tennessean.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=DN&Date=20110605&Category=SPORTS04&ArtNo=106050301&Ref=AR&MaxW=640&Border=0

Ex-Wildcat Burgos shuts down Daytona Cubs By SEAN KERNAN, Daytona News-Journal Staff Writer DAYTONA BEACH -- Brevard County Manatees pitcher Hiram Burgos looked like he owned the mound Saturday night at Jackie Robinson Ballpark. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound righty dominated the Daytona Cubs, leading the Manatees to a 4-0 shutout over the top team in the Florida State League. Burgos may have looked like he was at home, because for four years the Jack was his home. The native of Cayey, Puerto Rico, played for Bethune-Cookman from 2006-09, when he went 22-12 for the Wildcats. "I felt like I was at home. I was excited to be here," Burgos said after the victory. "I looked at the schedule last week and saw I had a chance to pitch here, and I couldn't wait. I look up in the stands here and remember when I would come out to watch these games a few years ago." A crowd of 4,304 saw Burgos pitch his gem Saturday night. Burgos was the stopper the Manatees (21-35) had been looking for all season against the Cubs (40-16). Brevard County had lost its first seven games against Daytona. "I changed speeds and hit the corners," Burgos said after pitching a season-high seven innings. "That's all about pitching. That's what made me successful." Burgos allowed just three singles and one walk. He struck out six batters, matching his season high in an April 29 no-decision against Dunedin. Daytona manager Buddy Bailey was impressed by Burgos' outing. "He stayed on the corners in a game when the umpire had a consistent liberal strike zone," Bailey said. "The umpire didn't change, and he didn't change." Burgos, a sixth-round draft choice out of B-CU in 2009, improved to 3-3 for the season and dropped his ERA to 3.24. Offensively, the Manatees had four solo home runs, three of them in the first four innings. Hunter Morris and Brock Kjeldgaard hit homers off of Daytona starter Zac Rosscup, who made his first appearance since May 13. Shea Vucinich ripped a two-out solo shot off Daytona reliever Matt Loosen in the fourth inning, and Kjeldgaard added his 12th homer of the season in the ninth off reliever Jordan Latham. Daytona, which boasts the FSL's most potent offense, was shut out for just the second time this season. Daytona went in the game leading the FSL in team batting (.279), home runs (48) and RBIs (268). But with Evan Crawford, the league's top hitter (.345), not in the starting lineup, the rest of Daytona's batters didn't pick up the slack. Daytona managed to hit just five balls into the outfield against Burgos. "That's when you know you're hitting your spots and have command of all your pitches," Burgos said. "It's my best start (of my pro career) because it was against a very good hitting team. Those are the teams you want to face, because you want to be challenged." The Manatees and Cubs play at 5:05 PM today in Viera (4:05 Central) and return to the Jack for a 7:05 PM (6:05 Central) Monday contest.

Sounds pitcher Narron stifles Zephyrs By Bob Fortus, The Times-Picayune A fastball to a corner. A change-up to another corner. Mix in an occasional curve. Nashville starter Sam Narron wasn’t throwing especially hard Saturday night, but he kept the Zephyrs in check, pitching 5 2/3 scoreless innings in a 6-1 Sounds victory at Zephyr Field. “My stuff is not going to blow anybody away,’’ said Narron, a 29-year-old left-hander who came into the game with the fifth-best earned run average in the PCL and lowered his ERA to 3.13. “I try to use my defense, and we’ve got a real solid one.’’ “He just kept us off balance,’’ Zephyrs Manager Greg Norton said. “We swung at his pitches. We hit some balls hard, right at the third baseman and shortstop.’’ Narron (4-2) allowed four hits, only one out of the infield. He struck out five batters and walked three. He also contributed on offense, getting two hits and scoring the second Nashville run. The Sounds jumped to a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Eric Farris walked against Mariano Gomez (0-1) with one out. Edwin Maysonet drove Farris home with a double to center field. Nashville increased the lead to 3-0 in the third. Narron led off with an infield hit and scored on a double to right-center by Brandon Boggs, who went to third base on the throw to the plate. With one out, Maysonet drove home Boggs with a sacrifice fly to center. Facing reliever Justin James, the Zephyrs made the score 3-1 in the seventh inning. Pinch-hitter Ruben Gotay walked with one out and scored on a two-out double by Mike Cervenak. But the Sounds answered with three runs against reliever Victor Garate in the eighth inning. Walks put Brett Carroll and Caleb Gindl on base, and Taylor Green drove home Carroll from second with a two-out double to left field. Pinch-hitter Erick Almonte then hit a two-run single. Narron pitched out of a bases-loaded, two-out situation in the fourth. He got Jesus Merchan to hit into a force play to end the threat. Narron led off the fifth with a line drive that fooled left fielder Vinny Rottino and went over his head. Center fielder Bryan Petersen, backing up the play, made a perfect throw to third base to retire Narron, who was trying the stretch the double to a triple. Zephyrs catcher Brad Davis made a strong throw to second to retire Farris on an attempted steal in the seventh inning. QUICK HITS: Narron pitched in one game in the majors, with Texas in 2004, before missing all of the 2005 season after having Tommy John surgery. In 10 appearances against the Zephyrs, including nine starts, Narron is 3-0. Gomez, who was making his season debut, allowed seven hits and three runs in five innings. He was making his first professional start since 2007, when he was on Cleveland’s Double-A Akron team. In the past two seasons, Gomez was with the Braves’ Triple-A Gwinnett team in the International League. Last season, he went 3-2 with a 2.89 ERA in 30 relief appearances. He was in spring training this year with Detroit before being released March 29. The Marlins signed him April 20. The series will resume with a game at 6:00 PM tonight. Zephyrs right-hander Tom Koehler (5-1, 4.24 ERA) will pitch against Sounds right-hander Amaury Rivas (3-5, 4.65).
