  1. Minor league spring training games begin March 18th. All minor league players, even the most fringiest fighting for reserve jobs this spring, have been in Maryvale since March 1st or so. Many other more prominent players were invited in earlier. The fact that no formal options have been made and no players not on the 40-man roster have been reassigned to minor league camp yet is not surprising (is that a quadruple negative?), although there have been reports that some cuts will be made shortly. If you're a Rotoworld follower, you know that a couple of teams have made some formal cuts, but even that number of teams is still less than five. So you'll see some cuts shortly, the Roque Mercedes' of camp, etc., but it's not that telling a situation right now.
  2. Rockies 9, Brewers 8, ten innings RHP David Johnson's tough spring continued with a poor 10th inning effort, RHP Mike Fiers settled things down, but the damage was done. All other participants were members of big league camp.
  3. Don't forget our In-Game Chat Room (link)! Brian and Rock can be heard via MLB.com's audio link. Box score here Gameday can be found here. TODAY’S GAME: Is the first of 2 games against the Colorado Rockies this spring.....the teams meet again on 3/18 at Salt River. ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch this afternoon (subject to change) is RHP John Axford, RHP Kameron Loe, RHP Cody Scarpetta, RHP Justin James and RHP Pat Egan. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team today from minor-league camp is 1B Hunter Morris (98), RHP Mike Fiers (94) and RHP David Johnson (99).
  4. Just finished Bernie's Crew latest podcast (only 99 minutes!), would have linked earlier but I prefer to have listened fully to anything we link to in this thread. Timber Rattler broadcaster Chris Mehring is the guest at the 73:30 minute mark.
  5. Clint Barmes -- Yahoo just had a remembrance post this week via the Houston Chronicle.
  6. Eric Farris makes a dazzling play or two at second base every other inning this spring, it seems (via audio, anyway).
  7. Wily Mo Pena homers off of Wily Peralta. It was wily hit hard....
  8. Don't forget our In-Game Chat Room (link)! Brian and Rock can be heard via MLB.com's audio link. Box score here Gameday can be found here. TODAY’S GAME: Is the first of 2 games against the Arizona Diamondbacks this spring.....the teams also meet on Saturday in Maryvale. ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch this afternoon (subject to change) is LHP Zach Braddock, RHP Wily Peralta, RHP Mike McClendon, RHP Zack Segovia and RHP Robert Hinton. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team today from minor-league camp is OF Brandon Jones (97), INF Shea Vucinich (91), RHP Josh Butler (95), RHP Donovan Hand (98) and RHP Jim Henderson (99).
  9. Jim at Bernie's Crew has been doing a nice job with his Prospect Madness tournament. Keep an eye on the blog in the coming days and help make the vote totals meaningful.
  10. Haudricourt with three interviews since we last linked, the 3/8 audio with Homer discusses the Greinke injury. WSSP spoke with McCalvy about Zach, but they botched the link on their web page, at least for now.
  11. Dodgers 7, Brewers 1 (box) Only three non big league camp players, all RHP's -- an inning to forget for Eulogio De la Cruz, two baserunners but no runs allowed by Marco Estrada in his inning, and Mike Fiers continues to impress, pitching around a leadoff double in a scoreless frame, fanning one.
  12. Thanks, this type of news is covered in some detail in our Minor League transactions thread, also currently highlighted above our forums.
  13. Don't forget our In-Game Chat Room (link)! Brian and Rock can be heard via MLB.com's audio link. Box score here. Gameday can be found here. No online game notes as of yet.... From the J-S: Here is the Brewers' lineup for their game today vs. the Dodgers: 2B Craig Counsell DH Mark Kotsay LF Ryan Braun 1B Prince Fielder 3B Casey McGehee CF Chris Dickerson SS Luis Cruz C Wil Nieves RF Caleb Gindl
  14. Add another name to the Dominican signings, 3B Estervin Matos (hat tips to our brethren in the Brewer blogosphere).
  15. At his Rattler blog, Chris Mehring hints at archived audio highlights and interviews in 2011. Make it happen please, Chris!
  16. WSSP - Adam McCalvy (prior to Monday's game) WSSP - 3/7 Hot Stove Weekly -- no specific Brewer interviews this week
  17. Brewers 15, Reds 2 (box) All at the plate -- Taylor Green RBI single, Hunter Morris, Brendan Katin, and Brandon Jones 0-for-1.
  18. No options remaining, guessing he'd clear waivers and accept a spot with the Sounds.
  19. Today’s game is the first of three contests to be broadcast on TV this spring.....the others are on 3/16 and 3/19, also on FS Wisconsin, and on 3/28 on WMLW. Don't forget our In-Game Chat Room (link)! Link to MLB.com's media page to watch or listen online. Box score here. Gameday Driving around after work and not in the WTMJ market? XM 186. ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch this afternoon (subject to change) is RHP John Axford, RHP Kameron Loe, LHP Zach Braddock and RHP Pat Egan. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team today from minor-league camp is INF Taylor Green (95), OF Brandon Jones (99), OF Brendan Katin (96), 1B Hunter Morris (98), INF Yadiel Rivera (91), RHP Marco Estrada (92), RHP Mike Fiers (94), and RHP Jim Henderson (99). Apparently Jones and Henderson will share a jersey...
  20. Split squad Sunday -- Athletics 5, Brewers 4 (box) RHP Donovan Hand (don't sleep on this soon-to-be 25-year-old) gets out of a bases-loaded, one-out situation upon coming in, while RHP Josh Butler takes the loss, allowing two inherited runners to score and then one of his own in a tough 8th inning. 2B Scooter Gennett now has reached four times in seven spring plate appearances, OF Erik Komatsu in four-of six PA's. 3B Cutter Dykstra is now 0-for-3 on the spring, and SS Carlos George had an RBI single, but also committed two errors (one throwing, one fielding) immediately upon entering the game in the 6th -- only one unearned run scored in that frame as big league camper Roque Mercedes and Hand limited the damage. Rangers 8, Brewers 1 (box) OF Lee Haydel singled and is now 2-for-3 on the spring; Hunter Morris (0-for-1, K) spelled Prince Fielder at first base, now 2-for-4; D'Vontrey Richardson 0-for-1 as the DH, now 0-for-3.
  21. ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch this afternoon (subject to change) is RHP Brandon Kintzler, RHP Amaury Rivas, RHP Robert Hinton and RHP Justin James. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team today from minor-league camp is INF Mike Brownstein (90), OF Lee Haydel (94), INF Sergio Miranda (97), 1B Hunter Morris (98), OF D’Vontrey Richardson (96), C Tyler Roberts (93), INF Shea Vucinich (91), RHP Jim Henderson (95), RHP Dave Johnson (99) and RHP Jesus Sanchez (92).
  22. Brewers 2, Angels 1 (box) RHP Mike Fiers (Cory Provus pronounced it "Fears", we'll go with that) retired his one batter in Takashi Saito's inning; and RHP Frankie De La Cruz retired the side in order with two K's. Very young SS Yadiel Rivera made a fielding error on the first play after he entered the game in the 8th (the ball will find you), and grounded into a force out in his lone AB. Scooter Gennett walked, and Brendan Katin lined a single, in their lone plate appearances.
