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.

Big league club stumbles and bumbles into the All-Star break again. Oh, it's a real thing. Thank you to the infamous Tim Allen of 97.3 The Game's Baseball Postgame Show, which we link to regularly in our daily archived Brewers media thread. I strongly suggest you spend one minute with Tim via this IHeart Radio link (go to the 23:50 minute mark). It's been a decade of Milwaukee pre-break headaches save for one outlier year. The big-league Brewers are not taking the lead from their full-season affiliates, each entering their own reprieve from the schedule this coming week. Friday night, the Sounds, Shuckers and Timber Rattlers showed the way, Mother Nature prevented the Mudcats from doing so. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Let's examine how the victories came about, and don't forget to watch Cooper Pratt in the Futures Game on MLB Network at 3:00 Central today! Go Coop!! Transactions: Milwaukee Brewers optioned SS Vinny Capra to Nashville Sounds. Nashville Sounds placed SS Freddy Zamora on the 7-day injured list retroactive to July 11, 2024. Biloxi Shuckers sent RHP Sam Gardner on a rehab assignment to ACL Brewers. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 5, Iowa (Cubs) 2 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 Best I-Cubs, Extend Win Streak to Five - Carlos Rodriguez fans seven, Tyler Black scores twice in 5-2 triumph The Nashville "X" feed features a variety of highlights from offensive, defensive, and pitching standpoints. You'll need to open a new browser tab to take this discussion in, and we know that in terms of tone or excitement, Tyler Black isn't the most scintillating interviewee, but it's a good chat as he begins his Ben Zobrist-ish nomadic defensive journey (the Brewers, or a future trade partner, can hope there is some Zobrist forthcoming). Go to the 21:15 minute mark for the Black interview — Black singled twice, walked, scored twice, and stole a base out of the leadoff spot in this game. Yeah, that'll do... Top of the 7th, Sounds nursing a 3-2 lead. A Cubs single and two walks issued by Blake Holub (one on a successful ABS challenge) loads the bases with two outs. It was the only batter Harold Chirino faced all night, but the subsequent 5-3 grounder he induced stranded the three runners and was the biggest play of the game. June 2022 indy ball signing RH reliever Ryan Middendorf seems as though he might be older, but he's only 26, and he has firmly established himself as the Nashville primary closer at this point. The Carlos Rodriguez pitching line was fine, he's not tracking to wow us often. Not saying it was a long-term move of Matt Arnold genius by any means, but the Brewers are 3-0 in Dallas Keuchel's starts after Keuchel took Rodriguez' spot (0-3) in the rotation. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 11, Chattanooga (Reds) 0 Box Score and Game Log Misiorowski Strikes out 10, Martin Smashes Grand Slam in Dominant Shuckers Win - Complete team effort earns 11-0, shutout win over Lookouts We didn't open the report with a Jacob Misiorowski intro paragraph, but we're well aware we could have - There's Paul Skenes, and then there's Paul Skenes. He's singular. There isn't even a fair comparison to say, "poor man's Paul Skenes". So, don't. Let Jacob be Jacob. This is fun, though, no? Shuckers played a near-perfect game with red-hot Eric Brown, Jr. on the bench alongside Adam Hall, the Bermuda native and 2017 Orioles 2nd round pick. Hall has had a nice 16-game sample upon signing with the Crew, and yes, the island residents do follow the exploits of Hall nightly, via press clippings I see. The Brewers also have done well with the even-smaller five-game Connor Scott sample, he of the 2018 13th overall pick status (Marlins). Just one of several highlight posts on the team's "X" feed: This Reds' AA club is just rough, now 24-61, we know that isn't an indicator of individual prospect progress or overall system strength, but yikes. It's a bit of a hidden gem on our website, but the nightly "as-it-happens" thread is such a valuable read even after the night is over. Contributions and insights are coming in from many. If you don't already make it part of your Brewers prospect-following routine, you may wish to add it to your Link Report-viewing regimen. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wisconsin 6, West Michigan (Tigers) 0 Box Score and Game Log Four Rattlers Combine on Shutout of West Michigan - Lara and Adams homer for Wisconsin in team’s fifth straight win First of all, those Faux-back uniforms are sweet. It can't be a negligible cost to have them (and all the other team uniform identities) produced, fitted, etc. Same goes for the other affiliates, but the T-Rats really shine in this regard. Up next, as you just read in the game summary, is this year's iteration of Star Wars night. Two auctions going on now! The "X" timeline is a creative joy - it all feeds off of this: In addition to the video timeline, the game story is excellent, the Postgame Podcast is a must-listen (if nothing less than for the Chris Mehring / Kyle Lobner enthusiasm for reliever Yerlin Rodriguez' 100 MPH heat). Box score contributions throughout, and the one player who failed to reach base, RF Eduarqui Fernandez, added an outfield assist. No matter how you immerse yourself in this contest, nothing but good vibes for this remarkable 2024 Rattlers squad. Plus, Appleton fans get Devin Williams Saturday evening. Final: ACL Diamondbacks 12, ACL Brewers 8, ten inningsBox Score and Game Log Weather: 113 degrees, Partly Cloudy. Wind: 6 mph, Out To CF. First pitch: 6:00 PM. T: 3:30. Oh, and on top of that weather situation, look, the young men and their coaches, trainers, etc. have their usual Saturday day game today. So yeah, a high-scoring extra-inning affair is not what the hydration systems were hoping for Friday night. I would love to see Baseball America, or another outlet do a feature story on what goes into preparing for and playing in these desert games. We're aware the humidity is brutal for the teams in the Florida Complex League as well. Dry heat in Arizona, 113 is still 113. Both catchers, including 20-year-old Germany native Yannic Walther of the Brewers, played the whole game. Heck, the D-Backs catcher had four hits, a home run shy of a cycle. The A-Crew rallied for four runs in the bottom of the 8th to tie the game at 6-6, with third baseman Eric Bitonti smoking a two-run shot to center field, his 7th bomb of the season, within the frame. It was one of four hits in the game for the 18-year-old LH beast of a slugger, a triple shy of a cycle of his own. If we don't see a Cooper Pratt post-Futures Game bump to Wisconsin, with Bitonti becoming a Mudcat, Eric may lose his mind. Tom Flanagan hinted that Bitonti was getting "anxious" on a recent visit to the Milwaukee TV booth. As noted well above, reliever Sam Gardner began his rehab, and did so with a clean outing, The box score will reveal an outstanding bullpen stint for 18-year-old Mexico native Eric Prado, but a rough outing for Venezuelan southpaw Jose Meneses.

Nashville Sounds placed SS Freddy Zamora on the 7-day injured list retroactive to July 11, 2024. Milwaukee Brewers optioned SS Vinny Capra to Nashville Sounds. Convenient timing for the infield mix, though Zamora could be back while, depending on the nature of his injury, missing minimal time with this week's All-Star break.
