  8. Sunday 8/6:Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast - "On this week's episode, Jaymes, Paul, and Spencer discuss the trades we did not get to last week, Brice Turang's hot streak, the Yelich rebound, the problem with Luis Urias, who starts in the playoffs, and sausage condiments. They also answer all of your questions, except one that they didn't understand."Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "Brandon Woodruff made his long-awaited return to the big-league mound on Sunday and looked great, part of a week that featured several players returning from injury. But with the trade deadline come and gone, the Brewers offense still failed to provide ample support, and the team went 3-4 against lower-tier opponents. And still, Milwaukee finds itself in first place in the NL Central. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss Woodruff's outing, the struggles of Willy Adames, the trade-deadline acquisitions and more. Will Colin Rea or Julio Teheran make another start for the Brewers this year? Could minor leaguer Tyler Black be part of the answer? Plus: Brice Turang's number change, The Blake Perkins Game and a Wisconsinite going viral are all part of Three Up Three Down, and Remembrew When looks back at an early 1990s brawl. In Curt Blanche, Curt has an aggressive take. Then, JR sits down with new Brewers outfielder Mark Canha (59:00) to discuss his Oakland roots, the impressive start to his career with the A's and what food suggestions Mets teammate Daniel Vogelbach had for Milwaukee." *** Postgame Shows for Brewers 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh --WTMJ with Dom Cotroneo: - Craig Coshun is the guestVia 97.3's Baseball Postgame Show - Tim Allen hostsLocked on Brewers with Chuck Freimund - "Brandon Woodruff is back... the Brewers offense, well..."

  11. It's often been noted how important it is for the big-league Brewers to score four runs in a game, quite often the indicator for a victory. That was the case on the farm Saturday, with the four-run mark separating three winners vs. the three clubs defeated. Mother Nature had her say on assigning the day a split overall. Before we break down the activity, we want to point out three recent Brewer Fanatic feature articles that deserve your review in case you've overlooked them. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Our own @Smichaelis9 penned the pieces highlighting the best month-long performances among Crew minor leaguers. Each piece deserves a wide audience: Article: Brewers Minor League Position Player of the Month: July 2023 Article: Brewers Minor League Starting Pitcher of the Month - July 2023 Article: Brewers Minor League Relief Pitcher of the Month - July 2023 TRANSACTIONS: RHP Colin Rae optioned to AAA Nashville LHP Clayton Andrews recalled from AAA Nashville Final: Durham (Rays) 7, Nashville 3 Via the Sounds' site, we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of your season-long Link Report routine: Brewskis' Gloves Shine in Defeat - Spectacular defensive plays by Nashville do not factor in 7-3 loss to Durham Pre-Game Media Notes via the SoundBytes blog for this game Box Score / Wrap Nice showmanship from Monte Harrison in that video clip embedded in the game summary. It's been a difficult year at the plate (.575 OPS) for the former Brewers 2nd rounder, whose primary career contribution to date has been helping to net Christian Yelich. OF Skye Bolt did not play after exiting Friday on a swinging strike three. Keston Hiura was idle, as was Abraham Toro. Would Toro have more value on the current big-league roster than struggling-since-May Brian Anderson? Yes, but it doesn't appear Anderson (and his defense) are going to be cut loose any time soon. Toro could be a prime candidate for the 27th / 28th roster spot September 1st. Not faulting RH starter Jason Alexander, but hope he enjoyed collecting the pro-rated MLB minimum through July 8th, when we was activated from the Brewers' 60-day IL. Rehabbing from any injury is no fun. His efforts for the Sounds are now expected to be very Jason Alexander-ish. Patrick Dorrian is on fire: Final: Pensacola (Marlins) 4, Biloxi 3 Via the Shuckers' site: Chourio Homer Makes History in Shuckers Loss to Blue Wahoos - Shuckers tally three runs on three homers, fall to Blue Wahoos on Saturday night Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Wrap The Shuckers bullpen has had its good moments to be sure, but those moments are primarily represented by pitchers not with the current club in an active capacity. RHP Harold Chirinos was unscored upon in 11 appearances (14 innings) before a May 24th placement on the 60-day IL. LHP Darrell Thompson dazzled with a 0.68 ERA in nine appearances before his bump to AAA Nashville. RHP Abner Uribe's 1.80 ERA in 15 turns on the Shuckers bump? We know where that landed him. As a reliever, RHP James Meeker had a ridiculous 44-to-3 K-to-BB ratio in 34.1 innings, but he's now a starter. Highly-touted RHP Justin Yeager, acquired from the Braves in the big MKE-OAK-ATL deal, made three scoreless appearances, the last on May 11th, before his long-term injury. Biloxi led here, 3-1 through six innings. Then, not so much. While I could always appreciate his bat-to-ball skills and his overall performances relative to age (and that aspect, age, is not to be overlooked), I never quite understood the MLB Pipeline (and others) love for OF Carlos Rodriguez. He didn't slug (at all, meaning at all) in the DSL, at Rocky Mountain, or Wisconsin. But my goodness, this was a blast worthy of ALL CAPS: There I go again, burying the lead: We are blessed by the young man's presence, Brewers fans. Tyler Black, sat Thursday, played Friday, sat Saturday. Postponed: Wisconsin at South Bend (Cubs) Via the Timber Rattlers' site: Timber Rattlers Rained Out in South Bend - Doubleheader set for Sunday at Four Winds Field This extended interview with Timber Rattlers reliever Nick Merkel gets deeply personal by the midpoint. If you're able to make time, it's quite worthwhile: There's also this for you as well in lieu of a T-Rats game Saturday. This Matt Wood interview had been featured on our Brewer Fanatic home page in recent days. Final: Carolina 4, Fayetteville (Astros) 2 Castillo Drives in Two as Mudcats Take Series Lead 3-2 Box Score / Wrap Four-game lead over Lynchburg (Guardians) in the second-half standings (Down East won the first half). Sweet! Brewers brass have never wavered on their public comments on, and faith in 2021 4th round community college RHP Logan Henderson, despite Henderson not making his debut until an injury-limited 13.2 innings in 2022, Well, Henderson is showing us why in his age 21 Carolina season. Putting together these "compilation" highlight segments takes effort, thank you, Mudcats production team, for these 51 seconds: Listed (perhaps generously) at 5'11" with a stout lower body makeup, can we dream on a Marcus Stroman, a Roy Oswalt career path? That's totally unfair, but the fact remains you won't find many successful starting RHP's under six feet tall. No Tim Lincecum comp, there will never be another Freak in his prime, and Henderson certainly has a more traditional release. NOTE: Oswalt was listed at 6'0", but that was considered a reach, no pun intended. Pedro? The GOAT, don't even. You look up, and infielder Jadher Areinamo's batting .298 (on base three times here). The 19-year-old (correct, not 20 until late November), doesn't slug nor walk (at least not yet), thus the rather pedestrian .702 OPS. But again, 19, darn we lose sight of age sometimes with the Mudcats. Final: ACL Brewers 4, ACL White Sox 3, nine innings (scheduled for seven) Box Score / WrapFirst of all, check out some wonderful Maryvale photos of the new highly-touted draft picks via Phrake Photography - fantastic. Given the photos you just enjoyed, you're ready for Mike Boeve, Cooper Pratt, and Eric Bitonti game updates, right? Sorry, they were all idle on Saturday. Then be sure to visit the wrap for the details on how neither ghost runner scored in the 8th, and how the A-Crew scored two in the 9th vs. the ChiSox one. Drama! Notes from my co-worker @damuelle on this contest: After walking 25 in 18.1 IP coming into this game, nothing suggested 19-year old RHP Darling Solano would be granted a start, much more deliver this: 4 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 0 BB, 1 K. Offensively, CF Dylan O’Rae provided another two singles and his 26th stolen base, but it was 3B Ney Serrano who really came through with three singles, two RBIs and a stolen base. SS Alexander Perez also had an RBI double to open the scoring. LHP Anfernny Reyes earned the win for pitching the two extra innings and only allowing the Manfred Man to score in the second frame. The game also featured organizational debuts for 10th round pick 23-year old RHP Morris Austin (1 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 1 K) and undrafted free agent 23-year old RHP KC Hunt (1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 K). Final: DSL Phillies White 7, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 0 Box Score / WrapOnly five knocks for Team Uno here, no Pizzeria Uno road postgame trip earned for ice cream. $1.4 million bonus baby middle infielder Kevin Ereu had the lone extra-base hit, a double. Ereu has a good OBP of .341, but the youngster (yes, very young, only turned 17 years old in May) has struggled otherwise, not matching the success of Milwaukee's other two 2023 17-year-old international millionaires, OF Yophery Rodriguez and INF Filippo Di Turi, who were named DSL All-Stars. We must note the scoreless work of less-heralded RHP Enniel Cortez, who received only $25,000 this summer. Please read this post via @Joseph Zarr on our forum thread for Saturday. Final: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 5, DSL Astros Orange 2Box Score / WrapOK, bear with us. The Cerveceros Dos were actually outhit by the Brewers #1 club by a 5-2 mark, yet came away with this victory. How? Welcome to rookie-level ball. Astros pitchers walked 16, plunked one, and threw seven wild pitches. Oh, throw in one balk. Meanwhile, Crew pitchers fanned 16, but walked five and hit three batters (all by otherwise impressive 17-year-old Venezuelan rookie RHP Ismael Yanez, who sports a 1.46 ERA through five starts). All but one Cervecero drew a base on balls, with five doing so more than once, led by 16-year-old Dominican infielder Roderick Flores with four free passes. Somewhat incredibly, the only member of the lineup not to walk was stud 2nd-year INF/OF Demetrio Nadal, he of the .333/.474/.540 line (a 1.014 OPS despite the 0-for-5 here). Thanks for again joining us on our daily jaunt through the Brewers system! On Sunday, the rookies rest, while the Timber Rattlers will get in both ends of their double dip - it's sunny in South Bend.

  15. While true I did not go out of my way to point it out, I indicated that the Nashville game summary was “tremendous”, and Lauer was certainly highlighted there. We type enough as it is without having to repeat items from the summaries. Heck in the early days of the Report I’d copy and paste the summaries to ensure folks read them. Anyone who chooses to bypass the summaries is missing out, not highlighting you in particular Jake. But Lauer did not go unnoticed…

  17. "In this episode, Bryce and Gannon interview a former teammate of Gannon's, Nick Merkel. Nick's career can be described as him being a "journeyman". He started D1 Ball, played at JUCO, and made his way to NAIA. All throughout that baseball journey, he encountered mental health struggles. Throughout this episode, you will hear a journey of being at your darkest and finding a way to become your best. Nick is now a minor league baseball player within the Milwaukee Brewers Organization and is on the path of becoming a pro baseball player. At Central Methodist, he broke many records, was an All-American, etc. The best accomplishment he had in college was establishing a brotherhood with his teammates. Even while struggling, Nick made many new friends and made memories he will never forget. This is an insanely valuable and vulnerable story for anyone who needs help navigating their own mental health journey. This is the episode where you say, "this can save a life"..."
