0-6, with five one-run losses representing various extreme levels of frustration, both on the mound and at the plate, a 10-0 blowout, and an All-Star Game loss in which the sole Brewer pitcher surrenders a home run to the first batter he faces. Yeah, that qualifies...

Still a bit of time to go, but this is looking like a near-historically crummy evening for the organization.

Of course, if Fischer sends Escobar, Inglett ties the game on Corey's grounder...

Nashville Media Notes: OLMEDO ACTIVATED FROM D.L.; ANDERSON RELEASED: Infielder Ray Olmedo returns to action this evening after spending a week on the Sounds’ disabled list. Prior to his injury, the veteran had hit safely in 32 of his last 38 games at a .309 clip (47-for-152), including multiple hits in five of his last 10 contests. To make room for Olmedo on the roster, outfielder Josh Anderson has been released. *** Tough week for Anderson's -- Drew to the Huntsville DL, Josh released. Josh Anderson (stats) hit .245 in 49 AB's (.574 OPS) while with Nashville and has now been released by both Cincinnati and Milwaukee in 2010. On another note, while MiLB.com indicated that new reliever Brian Bruney had been activated on the Sounds' roster from extended spring training, apparently that's not the case quite yet.

This MiLB.com All-Star roster page indicates that initially RHP Wily Peralta was named to the squad as a late addition, but two days later (and one day after Peralta had a middling 4.2 inning start), Michael Fiers was named to replace Peralta. Hopefully Wily's back right after the break just fine.

University of Michigan 5th round RHP Matt Miller has signed as well (report linked here).

Zionsville's Miller going pro Posted by Patrick Dorsey, IndyStar.com Former Zionsville baseball player Matt Miller -- who spent his last three years pitching for the University of Michigan -- is about to start his pro career. That's what he said by phone Friday, indicating that he has agreed to terms with the Milwaukee Brewers, who selected him in the fifth round (159th overall) of the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft on Tuesday. Miller said his bonus was in the low six figures, and that he will report to Milwaukee's rookie league affiliate in Helena, Mont., on Sunday (the season starts June 21). "It was the right opportunity for me and my family," said Miller, who plans on returning to school after the season. "Michigan's a great place, but this doesn't come around often, something like this." Miller, a 6-6 right-handed pitcher whose growth spurt in high school helped him land a scholarship with the Wolverines, said he "really didn't" imagine ever getting drafted this high while at Zionsville. But he concentrated on developing in Ann Arbor. His numbers -- a 5.06 ERA, 51 strikeouts in 64 innings (17 appearances, 10 starts) -- weren't overwhelming this past year, but Miller said his fastball has gone from high-80s entering college to mid-90s now. His off-speed stuff -- curve, slider, change -- is "still developing," he said, with the curve considered his best. Some scouting reports suggest Miller might be best suited for a relief role, something he occupied during his first two years at Michigan. Whatever the path, he's about ready to start on it. "I'm not really nervous," he said. "I'm kind of (eager). As a college player, you're shipped off to several leagues at the end of the season. And some of these leagues are notorious for having strong competition and good players. So I view this as just another summer league, with better players. So it's the next step, the next challenge."

Huntsville Media Release: OF/1B Drew Anderson has been placed on the disabled list, retroactive to June 10. In 12 games with Huntsville this year, Anderson is batting .279 (12-for-43) with one home run and six RBI. There is no corresponding move at this time. With this move, the Stars active roster is at 23, one below the Southern League limit of 24.

Don Money, does Mat Gamel really need to be hitting 6th against a right-handed starter? *** Brett Lawrie HR leading off the game has the Stars up 1-0 after three innings. Go, Michael Bowman...
