Chat with Brewers Minor League Field Coordinator and Catching Instructor Charlie GreeneThis Nashville audio interview with Stu covers Martin Maldonado's arm -- we've followed his pickoffs for years; also, Anderson De La Rosa's fairly recent catcher conversion; and there's a hint (just a hint, mind you) that Angel Salome may be getting behind the plate again...

Final: Peoria (Cubs) 3, @Wisconsin 1 Twin killings stop Rattlers By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers GRAND CHUTE, WI - The double play was the best friend of the Peoria Chiefs on Friday night. The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers hit into four double plays and the Chiefs held on for a 3-1 victory at Time Warner Cable Field. Jae-Hoon Ha's three-run homer gave the Chiefs all then offensive support they needed. The teams split the four game series. Michael Marseco put the Rattlers (44-64 overall, 18-22 second half) in front with an RBI ground rule double in the bottom of the fifth to make the score 1-0. Wisconsin had several opportunities in the game. Peoria pitchers walked six and hit one while allowing five hits. But double plays bailed them out almost every time. In the second inning, Wisconsin loaded the bases with one out on a pair of singles and a hit batsman. But, Marcus Hatley got a 6-4-3 double play to end the threat. In the fourth, a one out walk by Nick Struck was erased on a 3-6-3 double play. Perhaps the most frustrating double play of the night came in the fifth inning. Marseco had already driven in the run and the bases were loaded with one out. Scooter Gennett lined a ball that was ticketed for the right field corner. But, first baseman Justin Bour snagged the line drive and stepped on first for an unassisted double play. The Chiefs (57-50, 19-19) went in front in the top of the sixth. There were two on with one out when Ha lined a three-run homer into the Peoria bullpen beyond the wall in left-center and Peoria took a 3-1 lead. Those were the only runs allowed by Rattlers starting pitcher Del Howell. But, the damage was done. The bottom of the sixth inning saw another double play and controversy that led to an ejection. Hunter Morris drew a leadoff walk, but Struck got a 6-4-3 double play for two outs. Chris Dennis doubled to get into scoring position. Cutter Dykstra sent a grounder to third, but George Matheus throw to first was wild and Dennis attempted to score. However, Dennis was out at the plate to end the inning. Rattlers manager Jeff Isom, who was coaching at third, raced down the line behind Dennis to argue that Matheus had obstructed Dennis's attempt to score. After a lengthy and animated argument, home plate umpire Nick Mahrley gave Isom the thumb. Wisconsin had one more chance. Morris singled with two outs in the bottom of the eighth. Kentrail Davis drew a walk and that knocked Struck out of the box. Peoria brought Corey Martin into the game to face Dennis. The Chiefs closer struck out Dennis to end the threat. Then, Martin worked a 1-2-3 ninth for the save. Wisconsin went 3-4 on their just-completed seven game homestand. The Timber Rattlers begin a seven game road trip on Saturday night with a game against the Clinton LumberKings at Alliant Energy Field. Damon Krestalude (2-7, 6.19) is the scheduled starting pitcher for Wisconsin. The LumberKings have Tom Wilhelmsen (1-0, 0.00) as their scheduled starter. Game time is 7:00 PM. Tune in for the broadcast on AM1280, WNAM starting with the Miller Lite Pregame Show at 6:40 PM. *** Link while active, text follows: Despite loss, Timber Rattlers looking to make a push for Midwest League playoffs By Ricardo Arguello, Post-Crescent staff writer GRAND CHUTE — Wisconsin Timber Rattlers manager Jeff Isom was upbeat late Friday night. Staying positive might be just what his team needs heading into a critical seven-game road trip that may decide its playoff fate following a tough 3-1 loss to Peoria at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. The Rattlers are 3½ games behind Clinton in the race for a Midwest League wild-card spot. Wisconsin (44-64, 18-22 second half) plays the LumberKings in a four-game set starting today and then has a three-game set with Quad Cities, which qualified for the playoffs in the first half of the season. "It's definitely a big road trip for us," Isom said. "Looking at the standings, we're battling Clinton for a playoff spot. If we're going to make up ground, we're going to have to do it right now. "Then after that, we have Quad Cities, who is already in the playoffs. It's a tough road trip, but we have to take care of our business." Wisconsin hit the ball with authority off Peoria pitchers Marcus Hatley and Nick Struck, but the Timber Rattlers hit into double plays in the second, fourth, fifth and sixth to short-circuit potential scoring rallies. None hurt more than the double play in the fifth. With Wisconsin ahead 1-0 off a RBI ground-rule double from Michael Marseco, a walk then loaded the bases, only to have a laser off the bat of Scooter Gennett find the glove of Peoria first baseman Justin Bour for an unassisted double play. "I think it was just the baseball gods weren't in our favor tonight," Gennett said. "We're hitting the ball hard, pitching the ball well and we're in every game; we just can't seem to find that hole. We're hitting it right at guys." Wisconsin also had a chance to score in the sixth, when Cutter Dykstra reached on third baseman George Matheus' errant throw and the Rattlers' Chris Dennis attempted to score from second. Dennis ran into what appeared to be interference on the base paths and was thrown out at the plate to end the inning. That sent Isom into an intense discussion with the umpires and he was later ejected. "I saw contact at third base," Isom said. "They didn't see it and it is a tough call with a two-man umpiring crew." The Rattlers' ability to get good wood on the ball has Isom believing it's only a matter of time before his team gets moving in the right direction. With a month remaining in the season, there is time to make a final playoff push. "We had a lot of hard-hit outs," Isom said. "If we can get good (contact) on a nightly basis, that will give us a chance to win a lot of ballgames." Wisconsin Box Score LH starter Del Howell walked two, hit two, and allowed seven hits, but wasn't scored upon until the 6th inning three-run home run; RHP Nick Bucci struck out four in three scoreless innings in a planned relief stint, balancing out his innings load for the season; Kentrail Davis singled and walked twice to lift his Wisconsin OBP to .431 after 127 AB's -- the recently-turned 22-year-old should be a candidate to begin at Huntsville in 2011; Kentrail, Austin Stockfisch, and Chris Dennis were the victims of the painful GIDP's... Wisconsin Game Log Speaking of GIDP's, Howell used them to escape jams in the first two innings, and he also stranded the bases loaded in the 5th -- lived dangerously but survived -- up to that point...

Chris Nowak Huntsville Pre-Game Interview

Final: @Huntsville 6, Carolina (Reds) 5 Anderson ties a record and Stars get another dramatic win By Aaron Morse, Huntsville Stars Drew Anderson tied the Stars’ franchise record with his 71st career double, Caleb Gindl smacked a walk-off double off the leg of the pitcher, and the Huntsville Stars (24-17, 57-54) stunned the Carolina Mudcats (19-22, 49-61) in come-from-behind fashion by a final score of 6-5 Friday night. Carolina got on the board with a solo home run off the bat of Dave Sappelt in the first (audio). They’d tack on one more in the second thanks to a bases-loaded wild pitch uncorked by Stars’ starter Wily Peralta (audio). Peralta ran up a high pitch count, going only 4.1 innings, giving up six hits and two runs, both earned. He walked two and struck-out two. Peralta threw 93 pitches, 53 of them for strikes. Meanwhile Huntsville gave him the lead in the fourth. Tom Cochran retired the first nine batters he faced, but that changed big time the second time around the order. Gindl drew a lead-off walk and Brett Lawrie played some small ball, reaching on a bunt single. Andy Machado lined a single up the gut to load the bases for Anderson. The slugger crushed his 15th double of the year, clearing the bases and launching himself into the Stars’ record books. It was Anderson’s 71st career double as a Star, tying him with Jason Wood for the most doubles in franchise history (audio). The 3-2 lead became a 4-2 lead when Lawrie doubled home Lee Haydel in the fifth (audio). Nick Green got the Stars out of a big jam in the fifth and worked a scoreless sixth inning. But the right-hander ran into trouble in the seventh. With one away he walked Mike Costanzo and Luis Terrero followed with a single to right. Normally a visit to the mound from pitching coach John Curtis does wonders, not this time as Devin Mesoraco launched a three-run bomb to propel the Mudcats ahead by a score of 5-4 (audio). That was it for Green as Jim Henderson entered and got the final two outs of the inning. The Stars finally got some offense going against reliever Bradley Boxberger in the ninth inning. Chris Nowak led-off with a single to center. Taylor Green came back from an 0-2 count to draw an eight-pitch walk. Mike Guerrero instructed Patrick Arlis to bunt the runners over and he did exactly that. Then the Mudcats took a risk by intentionally walking Haydel to get to the dangerous Zelous Wheeler. Wheeler was pinch hitting for pitcher Eddie Morlan and he looked a bit rusty as he struck-out, leaving it up to Gindl. Caleb had not been having a good series, having gone 1-17 entering the AB. But the law of averages took over. Gindl lined a ball off the leg of Boxberger and the ball bounced into no-man’s land on the infield. Gindl improbably got a two-RBI double out of the play as Nowak and Green came around to score and the Stars walked off as winners again (audio). Morlan’s (2-2) scoreless ninth inning was good enough for the Win and Boxberger (1-2) took the loss. Lawrie, Machado, and Haydel all tallied multi-hit games for the Stars while Anderson and Gindl combined to drive in five of Huntsville’s six runs. The Stars remain one game back of the division-leading Tennessee Smokies in the Southern League North. They take on Tennessee in a huge five game series beginning Saturday night at 5:15 PM central time. Tune in to the Stars Radio Network beginning at 5:00 PM for the Window World Pre-Game Report. Michael Bowman (8-8, 5.28 ERA) takes on Chris Carpenter (7-5, 3.21 ERA). Huntsville Box Score How 'bout 'dem Stars?! Just over 1,100 in attendance -- many area fans missed out on a heck of an exciting series, but good for those who showed up; that Tennessee series is on the road now; add two wild pitches and an HBP to RHP Wily Peralta's third AA start line, a bit uneven as indicated above; you know who is having a nice little season is Lee Haydel, who reached three times here -- the just-turned 23-year-old has his OBP at .341, not tremendous, but way up from previous seasons -- all the splits for the LH bat are remarkably consistent (stats), although only 17 of his 103 hits have gone for extra bases, and he's not seeing a lot of CF (although we shouldn't be upset that Caleb Gindl is getting plenty of action there); Taylor Green 0-for-2 but walked twice; Brett Lawrie 2-for-4 with both hits highlighted above... Huntsville Game Log Certainly a fun team fo follow both from a prospect and a won/loss point of view -- the boys must be having a blast at the moment...

Final, Game One: @DSL Athletics 4, DSL Brewers 3, seven innings as scheduled DSL Brewers Game One Box Score Oh, errors will kill a pitcher, and it's suicide when they're his own. Still just 18 years old until next month, the Brewers must have seen something from RHP Jeffrey Saba from the spring, because all ten of his appearances have been starts, and the rail-thin (6'2", 152 -- that'll change in time) Saba has shown quite a bit of polish, but some rough edges were exposed tonight in the form of two costly throwing errors on pickoff attempts and two wild pitches.. This was the 5th consecutive start Saba's gone at least six innings, and in a road team doubleheader game loss, he gets credit for a complete game here. Saba has walked 17 and struck out 35 in 52 innings with a decent GB ratio. RF Raul Mondesi and 1B Hitaniel Arias (still a great first name for a ballplayer) smacked two doubles apiece; DH Ronny Puello, sandwiched between them in the 3-hole, had two singles, and four others had base knocks, including leadoff CF Dionis Hinojosa's first pro hit, a triple. Yet with all that, the Brewers drew no walks, and could only score single runs in the 1st, 6th, and final inning, the 7th. DSL Brewers Game One Game Log Must have been a nice throw from right field here -- DSL Brewers Top 4th Hitaniel Arias doubles (11) on a line drive to left fielder Jose Sayegh. Jose R. Garcia strikes out swinging. Wild pitch by pitcher Andres Astacio. Hitaniel Arias to 3rd. Jose R. Garcia to 1st. Deivi Mejia flies into double play, right fielder Luis Baez to catcher Reynaldo Mateo. Hitaniel Arias out at home on the throw. Juan De Leon strikes out swinging. Should have scored more than one run here -- DSL Brewers Top 6th Raul MondesiJr. doubles (3) on a fly ball to center fielder Charli Blanco. Ronny Puello singles on a fly ball to center fielder Charli Blanco. Raul MondesiJr. to 3rd. Hitaniel Arias grounds into a force out, shortstop Wilfredo Solano to second baseman Franklin Contreras. Raul MondesiJr. scores. Ronny Puello out at 2nd. Hitaniel Arias to 1st. Jose R. Garcia singles on a ground ball to right fielder Luis Baez. Hitaniel Arias to 2nd. Deivi Mejia singles on a bunt ground ball to first baseman Jose Rosario. Hitaniel Arias to 3rd. Jose R. Garcia to 2nd. Pitcher Change: Victor Trinidad replaces Andres Astacio. Juan De Leon flies out to center fielder Charli Blanco. Andres Martinez strikes out swinging. Close, but no cigar -- DSL Brewers Top 7th Joan Abreu grounds out, pitcher Victor Trinidad to first baseman Jose Rosario. Dionis Hinojosa triples (1) on a fly ball to center fielder Charli Blanco. Raul MondesiJr. doubles (4) on a ground ball to right fielder Luis Baez. Dionis Hinojosa scores. Ronny Puello strikes out swinging, catcher Reynaldo Mateo to first baseman Jose Rosario. Raul MondesiJr. to 3rd on the throw. Hitaniel Arias grounds out, second baseman Franklin Contreras to first baseman Jose Rosario.

Final: @Bradenton (Pirates) 2, Brevard County 0 Pitch a two-hitter and lose two nights after Helena throws a one-hitter and falls... Brevard County Box Score Lefty Dan Merklinger was on cruise control until there were two out in the 6th, when one pitch got away, and then one pitch left the ballpark - Bradenton Bottom 6th Shelby Ford strikes out swinging. Robbie Grossman grounds out, third baseman Sergio Miranda to first baseman Sean Halton. Starling Marte hit by pitch. Quincy Latimore homers (14) on a fly ball to left field. Starling Marte scores. Calvin Anderson strikes out swinging. Merklinger walked only one and struck out six, although he hit CF Starling Marte twice with pitches. Merklinger left after the 6th, fellow southpaw Daniel Meadows retired all six men he faced to finish up. Brevard could only muster six singles, each by a different Manatee, one walk, and hit into one GIDP. That adds up to seven men stranded and 0-for-5 with RISP. CF Erik Komatsu and SS Juan Sanchez the only two 'Tees not to reach, but that's faint praise to the others when it's a shutout; night off for Josh Prince and Angel Salome... Brevard County Game Log Not surprisingly, over in two hours, 11 minutes -- early East Coast start, no contest on which report was going to be filed first tonight... The boys had three base hits in the 2nd but didn't score -- Brevard County Top 2nd Sean Halton singles on a line drive to right fielder Robbie Grossman. Sergio Miranda grounds into double play, second baseman Shelby Ford to shortstop Adenson Chourio to first baseman Calvin Anderson. Sean Halton out at 2nd. Brock Kjeldgaard singles on a fly ball to center fielder Starling Marte. Sean McCraw singles on a line drive to left fielder Quincy Latimore. Brock Kjeldgaard to 2nd. Scott Krieger flies out to right fielder Robbie Grossman.

LHP Dan Merklinger, not Darren Byrd, is starting for the 'Tees tonight. And yes, he's dealin' again, at least through three innings. Maybe we should temper our enthusiasm just a bit, but it can not be stated enough that the player development staff has done a tremendous job in 2010 of placing pitchers in the roles apparently most suitable, and then having the hurlers make appreciable gains through whatever means available. We can point to nearly all the top 30 pitching arms as being considered "successful" this season, with a minimum of injury time lost (notable exceptions Periard, Anundsen in an otherwise incredible season pitching health-wise overall). What a difference June and July has made over April and May, and the direction is positive. Nice job, everyone involved. Surely we just jinxed this final month.

On May 10, we posted this -- Adam McCalvy reports that the team signed SS Justin Parker, who was Arizona's 6th-round pick in 2007. Parker hit .252/.349/.373 for South Bend in the Midwest League last year as a 22-year-old. McCalvy says he's been assigned to EST for now. *** Baseball America reports that Parker, now 23, has been released by the Brewers. He last appeared in a game for Maryvale on July 23rd, and had posted these numbers in 18 games on the season. Included in that link are his 2008 and 2009 season stat lines.

So much for my "hint" for those guessing along http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif. That's OK.

Big first baseman Jason Rogers' old friends at Columbus State (GA) are keeping an eye on him -- link here, but text is pasted below: *** The final Cougar on a tear in the minors is the 2010 Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year, Jason Rogers. After producing one of the best single-season's ever at Columbus State University, Rogers has continued his torrid hitting through his first 23 games with the Milwaukee Brewers Rookie League affiliate. He has picked up 30 hits in 86 at bats for a .349 batting average. The Riverdale, GA native has seven extra-base hits, two doubles, one triple and two home runs, has driven in 18 runners and owns a .462 on-base percentage. His focus is turned up a notch in crucial situations as he is hitting a robust .524 with runners in scoring position. "We are extremely happy that Jason got off to such a fast start in the minors," commented head baseball coach Greg Appleton. "There was no doubt in our mind that he could hit; we hope that he stays healthy and productive like he has been so far."

Filling Lorenzo Cain's spot in Nashville is veteran utility man Johnny Raburn, coming off the 7-day "disabled list". Surely MiLB allows teams at times to use the DL as a "reserve" list. Either that, or Raburn's healing skills for whatever ailed him are impeccably well-timed.

Zelous falls to Gookie Dawkins in another case of nickname over real name -- the Elite Eight is set. Despite the uniqueness of his moniker, 23-year-old shortstop Zelous Wheeler of the Huntsville Stars nonchalantly explains that there's no special story behind it whatsoever. "My mom liked the way Zelous sounded, that's all it is," said Wheeler, who lost in the third round to Gookie Dawkins. "But growing up people just called me 'Dude.' That was my nickname." Some might be intrigued and a bit confused by such a name as 'Zelous,' but Wheeler's not about to lose any sleep over it. "A lot of people can't say it, or spell it," he said. "That bothers my mom, but it doesn't bother me. It's just my name. I can deal with it." *** Cool, dude...

Final: DSL Mariners 6, @DSL Brewers 1 DSL Brewers Box Score Brewers led 1-0 after five innings, but RHP Rolando Pascual's standout day up to that point was spoiled as his long-time nemeses, walks and wild pitches, showed up in a disastrous four-run 6th -- hard to believe we've been following Pascual for nearly five full seasons now; 19-year-old LHP Jose A. Garcia sports a spiffy 2.16 ERA in seven brief outings, but he's walked 14 in 8.1 innings; the Brewers drew more walks (six) than they had base hits (all singles, five); 19-year-old 1B Hitaniel Arias singled and walked twice, his .370 OBP is promising as a starting point; 3B Juan De Leon walked three times...
