Sunday 4/12: Postgame reactions after the 8-6 loss to the Nationals: Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "The Brewers had a brutal week, suffering a five-game losing streak for the first time since mid-2023 and playing some of those games in jerseys that nobody seems to like. The pitchers are struggling, particularly in the bullpen. Christian Yelich left Sunday's game ominously. The defense has been suspect. The hitting has been suspect. The Brewers have gone from 8-2 to barely above .500, and that was against teams that were ostensibly struggling. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe go through the ugliness, from bullpen usage to dropped velocity to a dearth of options to fix the offense. And what is WITH those City Connect jerseys, anyway? In Three Up Three Down (38:00), they discuss Willson Contreras, promising work from Jacob Misiorowski, the excellent Jake Bauers experience and a brief first big-league appearance from Shane Drohan. In Remembrew When (58:30), JR looks back at a memorable Phil Garner moment in a week where two ex-managers died: Garner and Davey Lopes. Curt Blanche (1:02:30) discusses one of baseball's cathedrals. Then, JR chats with new starting pitcher Kyle Harrison (1:07:00) about his tweaked repertoire, his California upbringing, a high-school teammate also employed by the Brewers and his grandfather, once teammates in Milwaukee with Hank Aaron."

Unlike Nashville and Biloxi, it appears that there will be significant newspaper (print and online) coverage of the Wilson Warbirds. Had been hoping for an introductory offer (one of those $1 for six-month types you occasionally see), but that's not the case. $17 a month is going to be too pricy for this Link Reporter, given my already-full subscription table elsewhere in life.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Transactions: N/A Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Gwinnett (Braves) 4, Nashville 3 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Walked Off for Second Straight Night - Kuehner Spins First Career Triple-A Quality Start You may not recognize the name Cory Hilborne, but he's the Communications Manager for the Sounds and is responsible for the big majority of postgame summaries, and he nails it every single time. Today's effort was just the latest example, and hopefully you'll agree that both the in-game action recap and the miscellaneous notes linked above provide a cornucopia of detail for us. I shared on social media that I was able to catch up with longtime Brewers.com beat writer and Supervising Reporter Adam McCalvy (along with the Journal-Sentinel's Curt Hogg) in Boston on Tuesday. While I thanked Adam for his decades of coverage, he acknowledged that we provide details within our daily Link Reports that aid his efforts. Now, the fact Tyler Black had been placed on the IL was evident from the MiLB transaction wire, easy enough to track. Much less obvious was that Pratt had sat out not one, but two games, something we pointed out when Saturday's early AM report was published. Clearly Adam has the means and the contacts to then follow up on notes like that. Sure enough, by Saturday afternoon, he informed us of the status of both players. Of course, there will be instances when the beat reporters uncover minor league news outside of our site and forum posts. But our symbiotic relationship has helped inform Brewers fans for many years now, and we've long been aware that many members of the organization's front office, spanning multiple departments, make our daily report a staple. Pretty cool, right? Outside of the catching corps, the Sounds have a one-man position player bench (Manager Rick Sweet loves when that is the case - not). Sweet emptied the non-catcher crew when OF Jacob Hurtubise entered as part of a defensive shuffle to begin the bottom of the 10th, with first baseman Luke Adams exiting. Adams had struck out swinging in the top of the 9th and had remained in the game on defense for the bottom of that frame. So, at this time, nothing concerning from that perspective, but as always, we'll see. In addition to old friends Rowdy Tellez and Brewer Hicklen in the Stripers lineup, reliever Tayler Scott is an alumnus (Biloxi 2016-17). As for the extra inning, the top of the 10th was not pretty for Nashville - Wilken K'd on a foul tip, Jones fanned looking, and Eddys Leonard grounded to 3rd, leaving a speedy ghost runner in Lara firmly planted. LHP Brian Fitzpatrick got the first out on a 3-1 putout to start the fateful bottom half, advancing the ghost runner. A 90 MPH chopper vs. the drawn-in infield was enough to end things - watch that here. Nothing personal vs. the Voice of the Stripers, Dave Lezotte, but we've had enough of these walk-off calls: Via the Sounds: "After Sat.'s 3-for-5 night at the plate, CF Luis Lara ranks 5th in the International League with a .370 AVG through his first 12 Triple-A games. The #12-ranked #Brewers prospect is tied for fourth in hits (17) and SB (7) and leads the league with 14 runs scored" You're invited to consult the Sounds' "X" feed for a series of five highlights - given it's a road game, Lezotte is on the calls. You'll catch Luis Lara, Greg Jones, Brock Wilken, Tate Kuehner and Will Childers along the way. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 7, Pensacola (Marlins) 5 Box Score and Game Log Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - LH reliever Mark Manfredi's chat from Saturday night is available along with all this week's collection - congrats to the new dad and his wife! Via the Shuckers, game details: Shuckers Sneak Past Blue Wahoos 7-5 For Series Win - Shuckers clinch first series victory against Blue Wahoos Another fine write-up. I'm so aware of how repetitive this disclaimer is, but please review as linked just above as we tend not to rehash specific game details too often, allowing us to focus on other nuances of the day. The presence of little-used 22-year-old 3rd catcher Edgardo Ordonez (.544 OPS in 25 games with Carolina in 2025, skipping over Wisconsin to start 2026) allows for Matt Wood and Darrien Miller to rotate into the designated hitter spot, as Wood did here. Wood contributed with a sacrifice fly and a walk while Miller's fun was a bit louder - Over at the Shuckers' "X" feed, you'll find both of Eduardo Garcia's base knocks in his first game back after he broke his right wrist in Dominican Winter Ball play, along with Kay-Lan Nicasia taking advantage of his playing time opportunity given the recent outfield injuries on the Biloxi roster. Garcia did have one awkward moment early on. Hardin needed 84 pitches and only registered three innings, as he saw double-walk-single to open the 4th. RHP Stiven Cruz allowed one of Hardin's runners to score on a sacrifice fly, but as the game summary noted, would retire all 12 men he faced in a fantastic outing. Southpaws Jesus Broca and Sam Garcia made things interesting late but survived. There were also two caught stealing's, but you get the general idea here: Rattlers and River Bandits Rained Out - Saturday’s game to be made up as part of a doubleheader on Sunday LHP Wande Torres and RHP Braylon Owens are the scheduled Wisconsin starters. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wilson 6, Salem (Red Sox) 3 Box Score and Game Log Warbirds Snap Skid with Victory Over Salem - Anderson’s Big Night Sparks Wilson First of all, no specific highlight here, but the effort is appreciated from the Voice of the RidgeYaks. Wilson scored six runs despite having only four hits. Each of those hits were of the extra-base variety however, three off the bat of 19-year-old Dominican native CF Jose Anderson, who had a monster game with a bases-loaded walk, two doubles and his first home run of 2026. Anderson now has 20 HR's in 148 professional contests (.750 OPS). You'll be able to view an Anderson double and his round-tripper, along with Handelfry Encarnacion's double, via the Warbirds' "X" feed. More video: The Anderson RBI walk Frederi Montero's RBI grounder Fine-to-solid work by the Wilson hurlers here - 20-year-old RHP Jarrette Bonet has now fanned ten in seven innings (1 R, 4 BB, 1 HBP). Bonet picked off two men at first to help his own cause. RHP Tanner Perry turns 23 later this week, so he'll be seeking a bump to Wisconsin, he contributed three innings though was a victim of this home run. RHP Peyton Niksch, 22, did allow a run, but it was unearned due to two passed balls by catcher Yannic Walther in the 9th. We'd love to say the Warbirds' offensive woes are solved. While drawing 12 free passes (11 BB's, 1 HBP) can be productive, 1-for-12 with RISP (11 LOB) is not. It was another night of double-digit strikeouts (11). Thank goodness for Anderson on this night. By the way, the Brewers signed Anderson to a relatively tiny $60,000 bonus in January 2024 to then see him break out with a .915 OPS in his sole Dominican Summer League season. All traditional early afternoon game times Sunday, with the Rattlers playing twice. Our friend Daniel "Ro" will have five recaps for you Monday AM - that's how it goes sometimes on our beat, as I was spared a game and Mother Nature doubled up on Ro. Hope everyone has a wonderful early spring day.
