With the exception of one mighty swing from the delightfully entertaining teenage Mudcat Luke Adams, it was a case of "if's and but's" and close call defeats within the full-season level of the Brewers farm Saturday. So, we will bask in that moment, as the Carolina Crew continues to excel in the season's second half. Plenty to dig into, thanks for coming along on this Sunday AM. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Not sure why some of the Twitter links here didn't fully embed, but they are all still reachable. TRANSACTIONS: N/A Final: Indianapolis (Pirates) 3, Nashville 2 Via the Sounds' site, we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of your season-long Link Report routine: Win Streak Snapped as Sounds Fall Short in Indianapolis - Nashville leaves tying run on third base to end game in 3-2 defeat Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Wrap It's a bit of a non-descript game here. The Sounds bench was Payton Henry, Keston Hiura and Owen Miller. Rowdy Tellez was 0-for-4, and it will be interesting to see if his rehab stint ends after Sunday's series finale. Rowdy is 2-for-14 (one K, two walks) at AAA. Miller and Jahmai Jones (1-for-4, double, cleanup spot as the DH) are the only position player members of the 40-man roster currently in the minor leagues. Players like Patrick Dorrian (HR #19, no video out of Indianapolis) and Cam Devanney are interesting names for the 2024 MLB season contributor list. Otherwise, it's kind of a keep plugging along squad. The Sounds are 20-17 and just 2.5 games back of a 2nd half division title, so we should build up a modicum of excitement regardless. Tyler Black was 1-for-4, certainly the primary prospect to follow here. Effective bullpen work from Ethan Small, Luis Contreras and Darrell Thompson to cover the final two frames. Starting RHP Janson Junk had another suitable AAA effort. This HR pitch hurt. In what will be a recurring theme of "not quite" on the night, catcher Brian Navarreto popped up with the tying and go-ahead runs on 2nd and 3rd to end the game. Final: Tennessee (Cubs) 4, Biloxi 2 Via the Shuckers' site: Shuckers' Bullpen Tosses Five Shutout Innings, Smokies Win, 4-2 - Smokies use four early runs, shut down late Shuckers’ comeback attempt Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Wrap Let's see, starter has a middling outing, bullpen tosses multiple (five) innings of shutout ball, and two runners are stranded as the tight game ends. That sounds familiar, as you glance up one section. One thing about the eight-team Southern League is that your team has a 50% chance of making the postseason from the start. The Shuckers are 20-18 in the second half, and sit in the playoffs as of this AM, one game up on Montgomery. RHP TJ Shook's re-entry into the starting rotation seemingly allows RHP James Meeker to go back to the role where he has truly excelled, and with two scoreless relief innings despite allowing four baserunners, Meeker seems ready. Wes Clarke, DH'ing here, was caught stealing for the first time in five attempts. The prior four steals are the only ones in Clarke's three-year pro career. Isaac Collins was also nabbed, now 22-for-29 in 2023 SB attempts.. Regarding our "not quite" message, Ethan Murray flied out to CF and Lamar Sparks was called out on strikes for the final two outs of the game as runners sat on 1st and 2nd base. Can't blame the game summaries for not identifying on these final at-bats, and we won't always do so here, just rolling with the punches on this report. The debate about diving into first base (and remaining healthy, as Carlos did here) will rage on forever: Final: Dayton (Reds) 5, Wisconsin 3 Via the Timber Rattlers' site: Dragons Drop Rattlers 5-3 - Late Wisconsin rally misfires as Dayton wins third straight game Pre-Game Media Notes (Download Link) via the team's Virtual Press Box Box Score / Wrap As indicated in the summary, Manager Joe Ayrault utilized two pinch-runners in the bottom of the 9th. A bit surprised that 20-year-old infielder Jheremy Vargas was pulled for a runner in Jose Acosta. There was no evidence at all of Vargas nursing his legs after his bloop single, but the track records in the baserunning department made the move seem odd. Regardless, for the final three outs with the tying runs on base, the trio of Doston-Moore-Boeve found the going rough, and the T-Rats' production crew doesn't hide those efforts from us in the game video above. Four more hits for the dynamic duo of Brock Wilken and Mike Boeve, and my goodness, thanks for not choosing to be a tight end at Wake Forest, Brock, you are a mountain of a young man -- Can't be easy for RHP Bradley Blalock, this was only his 2nd appearance with Wisconsin, but unlike when a pitcher is moved within the Brewers system, and information is passed directly among pitching coaches, Blalock arrives and immediately has to advocate for himself among new mentors getting to know him. He allowed eight baserunners in four innings here (three earned runs). Timber Rattlers now four games out in their own playoff chase. Final: Carolina 6, Delmarva (Orioles) 3 Adams Hits Walk-Off Homer in 6-3 Carolina Victory - Luke Adams clinched Carolina's fourth straight series victory with a mammoth walk-off home run Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Wrap Pretty remarkable that the Muddies roll on and have not been infused with 2023 draft talent as of yet. This group has got it going on. Post-Game Interview: Manager Victor Estevez Congrats on that first Carolina League base knock, Dylan O'Rae! With runners on 1st and 3rd and no outs, Luke Adams could have brought home the winning run in any number of ways - sac fly, ground ball dribbler, etc. Instead, he gave Voice of the Mudcats Greg Adams Jr. another audio clip for the ages. Luis Lara reached base four times to lift his Mudcat OBP to .385. At some point, 1B Jesus Chirinos will get another crack at High-A, 3-for-4 in this game. RHP Logan Henderson padded his wonderful numbers with another zero-walk effort, fanning eight. Be sure to listen to the Estevez interview linked above for the commentary on Henderson from both Greg and the Manager. Final: ACL Brewers 6, ACL Guardians 2 Box Score / Wrap24-year-old LHP Adam Seminaris, the 3rd piece in the Hunter Renfroe trade, made his 2nd Maryvale rehab appearance and first in eleven days. He was originally sidelined after his May 17th Biloxi outing. Also on the rehab trail was 23-year-old Timber Rattlers RHP Jospeh Hernandez, himself a trade acquisition (from Seattle for RHP Justin Topa). This was also Maryvale rehab appearance #2, and Hernandez' most recent Wisconsin effort was back on May 25th. Don't overlook the effort of 21-year-old RHP Anthony Perez sandwiched between the rehabbers. Perez entered for Seminaris with the bases loaded and only one out in the 2nd and proceeded to escape via two K's. 2023 newcomers RHP Morris Austin (10th round) and undrafted LHP K.C. Hunt tossed scoreless frames in their 2nd AZ appearances. Enjoy the box score, particularly atop the lineup. Everyone contributed and even the sole player without a hit, 3B Ney Serrano, added a sacrifice fly. Final: DSL Rangers Red 6, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 5Box Score / Wrap Walkoff loss for the 24-22 Team Uno, surrendering two runs on a two-out double. That close. Bummer. Management insists in giving "veteran (by age only)" 22-year-old RHP Roman Perez the closer role, but his season has been poor in several ways. Perhaps he's a 100 MPH arm we just haven't been fully told about? A total of 29 walks and HBP's in just 19.1 IP. Add in 12 wild pitches. The K figure is just "OK", 21. Perez can't pitch around trouble outside of his own either, ten unearned runs allowed. 18-year-old RHP Esmir Suarez had the strongest mound effort here, adding to a fine rookie campaign. Yophery Rodriguez, the top signing last January, has hit a three-game wall. His average is down to .266 (OPS still impressive at .892), but in those three games, he's 0-for-10 with eight K's. He'll be fine, it's a hiccup. My personal fascination with part-time utilityman Tyler Rodriguez, meanwhile, continues. In 84 plate appearances, he has twice as many walks (18) as K's (9), and now sports an .826 OPS with a home run and double here. Final: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 14, DSL Marlins 7Box Score / Wrap Team Dos just 19-28, but a nice win here. Trailing 7-6 after six innings, the boys scored five in the 7th and three in the 8th to win going away. It's another box where all nine contributed, and five had multi-hit games. Five of the team's 14 hits went for extra bases, including three home runs and two doubles. Fifteen men were stranded, yet the RISP average was .316 (6-for-19). Feel free to click away for the mound results and any additional offensive figures you wish to glean from the box score. It's the four full-season clubs on tap for Sunday, early games except for a 5:05 Central start in Biloxi. Have a great Sunday!

Well, it wasn't a wipeout of a scoreboard (almost was), because we can enjoy the fact that prized Nashville southpaw Robert Gasser was wiping out Indianapolis Indians lumber with nine strikeouts, adding to his astounding 2023 total. Gasser leads the International League with 133 K's, 23 more than the next in line. Gasser's 1.27 WHIP is plenty shiny as well (3rd in the league, with newcomer teammate RHP Evan McKendry just ahead in that stat's pecking order). Despite the cacophony of defeats blaring the soundtrack of this report, we are sure there are nuggets within to prevent you from asking for your money back. Here. We. Go. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic TRANSACTIONS: INF Abraham Toro recalled to Milwaukee from AAA Nashville LHP Bennett Sousa was placed on the 7-Day IL (retroactive to 8/9) at AAA Nashville SS Daniel Guilarte placed on the Carolina 7-day injured list RHP/1B Quinton Low placed on the Carolina 7-day injured list INF Dylan O'Rae assigned to Carolina from ACL Brewers Final: Nashville 7, Indianapolis (Pirates) 5 Via the Sounds' site, we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of your season-long Link Report routine: Robert Gasser Strikes Out Nine, Sounds Win Fourth Straight at Indy - Brewers’ sixth-ranked prospect turns in seventh quality start in 7-5 win Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Wrap Scheduled day off for rehabber Rowdy Tellez. Day of rest for hot Patrick Dorrian (.962 OPS in July, 1.197 OPS in August). With the Abraham Toro callup, Rick Sweet's bench is short at the moment. Josh VanMeter is the only other position player at this time. 133 K in 107.1 IP for Robert Gasser, but let's go super old school and smile at his 7-1 W-L mark. Putting his team in positions to win again and again over 21 appearances (20 starts) and avoiding early big deficits. The one relief appearance in May (box score)? Came in to start the 3rd inning after rain suspended the game the night prior, it was a rare down performance. What a wonderful 2023 for Gasser, can't wait to see how his big-league career unfolds, and when it begins. Are you wondering about any team name controversy with "Indians"? I was curious too. Here's the latest. Final: Tennessee (Cubs) 5, Biloxi 2 Via the Shuckers' site: Shuckers Fall to Smokies, 5-2 - Biloxi pitching strikes out 11 but Smokies smash three early homers for win Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Wrap Don't forget about the Shuckers' archived pre-game interview page. The latest via Voice of the Shuckers Javik Blake is with closer Cam Robinson. Javik's enthusiasm is always present, and he brought the fun out in this chat with Cam. Neither team scored over the final four frames as LHP Russell Smith and RHP Max Lazar each tossed two scoreless, but Biloxi bats couldn't close the gap despite chances as the game summary detailed for you. Jackson Chourio sat not only to ensure his sore hand exit from Thursday's game properly heals, but it's also simply time for a break, if you will. The full interview with the skipper will be available here by the time Saturday's game begins. Sorry Shuckers, you can't put 15 men on base via H, BB, and HBP, and score just two runs. Is there anything more exhausting for a fan than when your team comes up empty so many times with men on base within a game? It's a baseball theme as old as time. Have no idea if these talks with the controlling club ever begin prior to the end of the regular season, but Ernesto Martinez' agent is going to be able to market a player who will be just 24 years old when the 2024 season begins. That should net Ernesto well above the AA / AAA norm (mind you, we're not talking anything approaching MLB figures here), but he'll be in demand and perhaps the Brewers are already whispering in Martinez' ear about re-upping. A few more video tidbits via the Shuckers feed can be found here. Final: Dayton (Reds) 8, Wisconsin 6, ten innings Via the Timber Rattlers' site: Rattlers Rally After Rain Delay Falls Short - Wisconsin drops ten-inning decision to Dragons after dramatic comeback Pre-Game Media Notes (Download Link) via the team's Virtual Press Box Box Score / Wrap Let's give full credit to Voice of the Timber Rattlers Chris Mehring, he's been a trooper all week and we're not getting postgame podcasts as of late, so that (I imagine) Chris can rest his (still hoarse) voice. Speaking of giving credit, there was no die in these T-Rats after a one hour, 49 minute rain delay that had this one ending late into the Grand Chute evening. Brock Wilken has been plunked three times now in his 61 pro plate appearances, he also doubled here, while Mike Boeve, playing second base, walked twice and drove in a run. Nothing against the established names in the Wisconsin lineup, but tracking the shiny newcomers is always an appealing task. We've been somewhat quiet about it, but catcher Matt Wood (DH'ing here) has established a pretty large sample size in his first go-round at High-A. a .616 OPS thru 293 plate appearances is not ideal, so hopefully the three walks in this game will lead to a turnaround of fortune overall. Let's remind ourselves he won't turn 20 years old until November, but it's been a rough 2023 for RF Hendry Mendez. Final: Delmarva (Orioles) 7, Carolina 1 First-Place Mudcats Suffer Error Filled 7-1 Loss - The Mudcats saw their six-game winning streak end while falling to the Shorebirds in Zebulon Pre-Game Media Notes Box Score / Wrap All good things come to an end, but the Muddies are still 26-14 (!) in the second half and comfortably atop the playoff-chase standings. How big was RHP Chase Costello's bullpen-saving effort? As noted in the summary, backup catcher Jhonnys Cabrera was brought in for the final out to allow others to rest. Since the calendar turned to July, Costello has made seven relief appearances spanning 24.1 IP, 10 H, 2 ER, 5 BB, 20 K. Huge. No doubt his defense failed him, but a review of RHP Will Rudy's game log in the fateful five-run 2nd inning reveals that Rudy takes some of the blame, which we're pretty sure he'd tell folks regardless. The aforementioned Dylan O'Rae will need to wait until at least Saturday to make his full-season ball debut. Final: ACL Reds 6, ACL Brewers 4 Box Score / WrapA-Crew trailed 6-0 as the home game went to the bottom of the 4th. The men would claw back to the point that Juan Baez and his 1.011 OPS represented the tying run in the bottom of the 9th, but his foul out ended the game. Cincinnati LHP Nick Lodolo made his first Arizona rehab appearance and allowed only a single by non-drafted catcher Alejandro Rodriguez in his two innings of work. Heralded 6th round pick SS Cooper Pratt tripled and singled in five AB's. Making his professional debut, 16th round Ohio State RHP Josh Timmerman allowed two runs on three hits (two doubles) in his one inning, as he got the starting nod. Congrats Josh, your pro career is underway. Following up Timmerman with a 1-2-3 frame (one K), was 7th round Louisville LHP Tate Kuehner, making his own pro debut. Nice! Final: DSL Guardians Red 6, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 0, makeup of a July 27th postponement, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Wrap Final: DSL Guardians Red 2, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 1, regularly scheduled game, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Wrap 14 innings for the Team Uno offense, producing just one lonely run on five base hits, two of the three hits in the nightcap were doubles. CF Idalberto Santiesteban utilized one of those doubles to drive in the day's only run in the 6th inning of Game Two, setting up 2nd and 3rd with no outs, down by the 2-1 score. Then the Cerveceros' normally reliable 2-3-4 hitters failed miserably with a strikeout sandwiched by two ground balls back to the mound. It's all in the Game Log info for you. Among the six #1 Squad arms who saw island action on Friday, the shiniest effort came from 18-year-old second-year Venezuelan LHP Anthony Flores - 5 IP, 2 H (both singles), 0 BB, 1 HBP, 7 K. Flores has been the starting pitcher in all ten of his 2023 appearances and has certainly punched his ticket stateside for 2024. Final: DSL Red Sox Blue 3, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 1Box Score / Wrap Just three hits (one double) for Team Dos, and this game went the full nine innings. Whither DSL offense on this day? 17-year-old Nicaraguan RHP Melvin Hernandez (and he only turned 17 in July) continued to impress, four scoreless middle relief innings including his final frame in which he allowed a leadoff triple but escaped. RHP Elias Gonzalez squeezed four balks into the game's final two innings. He now has 11.1 IP in his rookie campaign but had yet to balk prior to Friday's outing. Blame the ump. Seven games on tap for Saturday - excited to follow Bradley Blalock pitching for Wisconsin and Logan Henderson for Carolina. Hope everyone enjoys their summer weekend.
