Sunday 4/5: Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast (recorded pre-game) "The early returns remain positive for the Milwaukee Brewers, now out to a 7-2 start in 2026 after series wins against the Rays and Royals. Garrett Mitchell has a breakout game and confounds us still, the bullpen has been concerning a bit, and the rotation has been excellent (with one exception). Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe look back on the week and start with the most surprising story: An extension for prospect Cooper Pratt. Plus, newcomer Luis Matos and important Easter candy discourse. In Three Up Three Down (36:00), they discuss Milwaukee's newest pet tortoise, Bobby Jr., and the impulse purchase power of Pat Murphy, plus a very weird week for much-maligned umpire C.B. Bucknor in Milwaukee. Remembrew When (54:00) looks back at a more Easter-thematic Brewers/animal crossover during the days of the Rally Rabbit, and Curt Blanche ponders the NCAA Tournament and Wisconsin basketball (58:30). Then, JR sits down with new infielder David Hamilton (1:04:15), who returns to his old haunts at Fenway Park when the Brewers open a series there this week. They discuss his freak injury in college, his smooth transition to third base, and the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers jersey he wore when he was just a kid, years before he played with them for real."

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Transactions: RHP Logan Henderson recalled to Milwaukee LHP Sammy Peralta claimed by Colorado LHP Rob Zastryzny returned to Milwaukee from rehab Rob Z's initial placement was for a left shoulder strain. Not specifically a transaction, bot oh-so-encouraging: Nashville Press Release: The Nashville Sounds have postponed their Saturday night game against the Charlotte Knights due to inclement weather. They are still expected to play on Sunday, April 5 at First Horizon Park. The game will be made up when the team plays in Charlotte for their series from April 21 to April 26. The exact date of the makeup game will be determined by the Charlotte Knights and announced at a later time. As for Sunday, no expected change with LHP Tate Kuehner scheduled to be on the bump. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Rocket City (Angels) 9, Biloxi 4 Box Score and Game Log Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - Manager Mike Guerrero's chat from Friday night is available as of Sunday AM, and Dylan O'Rae's chat was just added Via the Shuckers, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Shuckers Fall Behind Early in 9-4 Loss to Trash Pandas - Shuckers handed first loss of 2026 after Rocket City runs out to early lead The bat of organizational newcomer Damon Keith sacrificed itself for the lone posted Biloxi highlight of the evening - Tough outing for RHP Bishop Letson, who retired only four of the ten batters he faced. Rocket City was up 1-0 in the initial frame with runners on 1st and 3rd with two outs when Letson left this pitch up. Center fielder Dasan Brown took a slightly off-kilter route, but it was still a pitch that was hard hit for a two-run triple and a 3-1 deficit. 25-year-old Tanner Gillis made his AA debut, and this was the first of two home runs he would surrender, although he provided 3.2 innings of needed length relief behind Letson and RHP Stiven Cruz (who allowed a Letson inherited runner to score along with one of his own). Only LHP Anthony Flores, who will be pitching all of 2026 at age 21, had a truly positive mound night, stranding a runner for Gillis and retiring all four men he faced. Flores issued 56 free passes (48 BB, 8 HBP) in 91 innings - 32 appearances (11 starts) - with Wisconsin last season. Given his youthfulness, if the control is better moving forward, he'd elevate his prospect status immensely. At the plate, it seems it won't be often we see a team strikeout total that isn't double digits, and that's the story across all of MiLB, not just the Crew's system. Shuckers batters fanned ten times here. Those batters also walked eight times and were plunked thrice. It's going to take some time to recognize that HBP (Adams) in Biloxi box scores refers to newcomer OF Jordyn and not career pincushion Luke. Mike Boeve committed a throwing error in his first fielding chance at third base since the 2024 season. Blake Burke mishandled a Gillis pickoff attempt for the other Biloxi miscue, though that did not lead directly to any unearned runs. Jesus Made was the only Shucker not to reach base, 0-for-5 with two K's. When the ball was in play, Made was eliminated on a dribbler in front of the plate, flied out to left field (as a LH batter), and grounded back to the pitcher. Utility man Jheremy Vargas and 22-year-old catcher Edgardo Ordonez are the two position players yet to see action after two games. You may have felt as though only the negative aspects of the game were spotlighted above. With that, we say: Jacob Hurtubise RBI double in the 6th Jordyn Adams bases-loaded walk in the 7th Hurtubise sacrifice fly in the 8th *In addition to reading the Wisconsin game summaries and taking in the full video highlights, the best gift you can give yourself from a knowledge standpoint is to listen to the Postgame Podcast featuring comments from Nick Stanley, Tayden Hall, Eric Bitonti, and Quinton Low The Spotify audio, including the four interviews, runs only 19 minutes so you can squeeze it in now, and best of all, new Assistant Broadcaster Jonathan Timm (welcome, Jonathan!) learned that the exits for both Josh Adamczewski and Braylon Payne were related to cramping, and both will be fine. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final, Game One: Beloit (Marlins) 5, Wisconsin 4, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Beloit’s Late Home Run Beats Wisconsin If it seemed as though the bases were loaded around the clock for both teams within those three-and-a-half minutes you just watched, it's because this contest featured (featured? Yeah, we guess) 23 walks, a HBP, five wild pitches (all by the Beloit starter, along with his balk) - remember, all within just seven innings! The teams combined to go 1-for-19 with runners in scoring position which added to the U-G-L-Y nature of the contest, and yet, there was drama throughout. A whole bunch of fans in the stands were lulled into the determination that they were good with heading home after this one (opening pitch was 39 degrees, though a balmy 43 by the time Game Two got underway). As you review the four box score pitching lines, let's just wait for some semblance of a next chance in better conditions analysis. *** Final, Game Two: Wisconsin 8, Beloit 7, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log (Just scroll down at the link below to get to the write-up) Rattlers Power Up to Take Nightcap - Wisconsin hits three homers in comeback win over Sky Carp My oh my, check out how close the final out came to ruining the fun. Only 3rd catcher David Garcia failed to see the field in the twinbill among the 15 position players on the squad. Wisconsin was the recipient of another seven free passes (6 BB, 1 HBP), so there are plenty of healthy OBP's throughout the roster after Day One. RHP Ethan Dorchies powered through four innings in the Game Two start and did so on just 59 pitches (37 strikes). As originally scheduled, the T-Rats are idle on Easter Sunday. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Fayetteville (Astros) 6, Wilson 5 Box Score and Game Log Fayetteville Rallies Past Warbirds to Level Series - Woodpeckers Score twice in the eighth to win Frederi Montero will be just 19 years old for the 2026 season. The corner infielder has started 60 games at first base, including Saturday, and 45 at third base in his first two pro seasons. You'll find additional highlights here: Juan Ortuno checks his swing and walks to drive in the tying run in the 7th Brady Ebel immediately walks as well to give the Warbirds a fleeting lead Yannic Walther's sacrifice fly brings in a diving Frederi Montero in this back-and-forth contest Down to their final out, Handelfry Encarnacion doubles in Ortuno to make it a 6-5 deficit Unfortunately, CF Jose Anderson would strike out to end the evening, capping his platinum sombrero 0-for-5 night. Warbirds batters fanned 13 times. Here's a non-player specific interview with the Voice of the Warbirds Chris Edwards from a general baseball and military significance perspective. Cortez was worth watching to be sure - three scoreless innings, 2 hits, one BB, 2 K. Welcome back, young man. This guy killed the Warbirds all evening - watch as Grasshoppers leadoff RF Kevin Alvarez nets four base knocks against all three Wilson hurlers - Cortez, Enderson Mercado (twice), and Joshua Quezada. Congrats to 22-year-old OF Nick Monile, a non-drafted free agent signing last August out of the University of North Florida. He walked once in four trips to the plate in his professional debut. I'll be back Monday AM with the three Easter Sunday games on tap. Biloxi RHP Tyson Hardin joins the previously noted Tate Kuehner among scheduled starters, while 20-year-old RHP Jarrette Bonet, picked up from the independent but MLB-sponsored "Draft League", makes his formal pro debut for Wilson. To those who celebrate, a blessed Easter, and everyone have a wonderful Sunday.
