  2. Final, DSL Tampa Bay 9, DSL Brewers Gold 8 Box Score and Game Log In the bottom of the 9th, the Team Gold scored one run to cut the gap to one run and had a runner on 3rd base with just one out. A key strikeout was next. After a HBP and stolen base moved the go-ahead run into scoring position, another strikeout ended the game. 2nd year corner infielder Matthew Moses hit a three-run HR in the 2nd for an early 3-1 lead. It was Moses' 5th pro tater. Of course, Moses' MiLB page lists him as a shortstop despite never having played the middle infield last season. Because as we all know, all international position player signings are shortstops, unless they throw with their left arm, and we wouldn't put it past teams to list those youngsters as shortstops as well :). Corner OF Carlos Done had the other XBH, a double. Done was the game-ending strikeout victim. The bottom of the 3rd inning is an odd time to be lifted for a pinch-hitter, especially in a pro debut, but just-turned 17-year-old second baseman Santiago Garcia was removed at that interval. Nothing in the game log provides a hint from earlier in the game, and it's unclear if we'll ever see "injury delay" in the DSL logs like we do at the higher levels. 17-year-old Ruben Revost's pro debut was unique, pinch-runner, successful steal. Another 17-year-old, starter Marcos Veras, was the lone debut among the four arms. Three runs in three innings is no shame, but it's a 9.00 ERA no matter how you shake the small sample. Boo to the small sample. 6'5" Paul Hoff out of Germany, began his second season on the island. What a life adventure for that young man. There was very little "cheap" in the Tampa six-run 4th. When you conduct your game log read, you'll see just that.
  3. Final, DSL Padres Gold 11, DSL Brewers Blue 7, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log Of the 13 half-innings in this contest, only four were scoreless. There was no score heading to the bottom of the 2nd in this road game, and then the offenses kicked in, taking advantage of all the usual culprits in a complex league game. Those culprits being bases on balls (seven by each team), HBP's (two by each staff), wild pitches (three, all by Blue arms), and fielding misplays (six combined, two by Team Blue). All the errors led to just one run charged to the Blue pitchers as unearned, two for the Padres kids. So perhaps you look at this as a 10-5 loss instead. I think we can agree that three hours, 25 minutes to play six-and-a-half-innings reflects those totals. Three Blue pitchers made their professional debuts, all right-handers. By the way, between the two Brewer teams, only three of the 36 pitchers are left-handed, so we'll be able to save keystrokes by not typing "RHP" over and over for these games. Southpaws - Blue: 6'5" Alexander Mercedes (yet to debut) Gold: 6'0" Daniel Garcia (currently on the 7-day IL) and 5'11" Santiago Martinez, each in their 2nd year The debuts here ranged from short and tidy (one scoreless inning for 18-year-old Mexico native Luis Aguayo), to not particularly pretty twice over: 1.2 IP, 6 ER charged to 6'4" 16-year-old Jordy Brache, a Dominican native 2.2 IP, 4 ER, 4 BB for 18-year-old Wilmer Duarte, also of the D.R. Every new season I wonder how many family members of the Dominican players are in attendance for these games. As you box score review, the top six in the order were all holdovers from Opening Day. The bottom three all made seasonal, but not professional debuts. CF Enrique Lovera has already walked five times in his first two pro games, and when he's not walking, he's striking out (four times), yet to put the ball in play. 2B Leonard Rijo had the lone Blue XBH, a triple. 17-year-old newbie C Sebastian Franeites, DH'ing here, is off to a nice two-game start, 4-for-7, 1 HBP, with the three outs being strikeouts. As always, have to love the DSL box score intricacies. You are invited to pull up the game log, select "All", and then watch these games in your mind, always an adventure.

  6. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Transactions: N/A Although there were no official transactions on Monday, we have outstanding news on LHP Frank Cairone and an expected return date for Timber Rattlers OF Braylon Payne (last played May 21st). Did you carve out time for these listens yet, prospect faithful? Final: ACL Brewers 7, ACL Dodgers 6, ten innings Box Score and Game Log Gutty road win for the A-Crew, now 11-12 on the season. Brewers scored two in the 8th to increase their lead to a seemingly safe 5-1, but the LA kids tried to be cool and rallied for five runs in the bottom of the inning to take the lead against 19-year-old RHP Ma'Kale Holden, one of the better-performing pitchers season to date. That rally came a bit out of nowhere as Holden had retired all six men he faced in the prior two innings, five of them by strikeout. The game log will reveal that the Dodgers cracked two two-run homers in the frame. It was sweet that the good guys tied the game at 6-6 in the top of the 9th, but in reality, they could have done more, as the first three batters walked. The tying run scored as speedy CJ Hughes grounded into a double play, and a flyout ended the rally. 20-year-old RHP Cesar Espinal allowed a lone single in the bottom of the 9th, and it was on to ghost-runner town, and not much effort was needed to plate the go-ahead (and what would prove to be the winning run). First baseman Jonathan Rangel began the inning at second base, immediately took third on a wild pitch, and right after that scored on a passed ball. Easy-peasy. Good thing, too, because the rest of the inning intertwined three strikeouts among two walks. Espinal, the 20-year-old Dominican native acquired as the PTBNL in the Mark Canha-to-KC trade (ah, you had forgotten about that, hadn't you?) then was aided by a lineout unassisted double play to second baseman Roderick Flores, eliminating the LA Manfred Man. A strikeout swinging ended the game in fine fashion. This box score has all kinds of goodies to peruse, including nine combined wild pitches, including two by Maryvale starting southpaw Joey Broughton, but as Broughton's game log reveals, he's had a wonderful spring including Monday's pretty line, as his pre-draft Tommy John surgery in 2024 is well in his rear-view mirror. RHP Gerson Garabito continues his broken foot rehab prior to an eventual Nashville placement, and utilityman Daniel Guilarte's Timber Rattlers rehab entered his Game Two. Brewers stole seven of eight bases, with another out coming on a pickoff, so we'll call it 7-for-9. The teams combined for a 5-for-28 RISP total. Brewer pitchers walked only one. LA arms issued 15 free passes. How was this a squeaker again? Brewer batters also K'd 17 times. The Dodger catcher played all ten innings; you think he caught a few pitches in this one? LF Kenny Fenelon, on base five times. CF Brailyn Antunez, four times, including his 4th home run. Four of the six Maryvale hits went for extra bases. Please review the box to see who hit the three doubles and the game log to see how the A-Crew plated their earlier runs. Final: DSL Brewers Blue 11, DSL Orioles Black 5 Box Score and Game Log In this colorful matchup, it was a "bruising" black-and-blue affair. (I crack myself up.) First of all, I thought as a BrewerFanatic Minor League Forum team, thought we did a tremendous job in posting many of the nuggets you should know about the now-upon-us 2026 Dominican Summer season. Important roster and stat links you can bookmark, a full-blown archive video of the "other" Brewers game (looks overcast to me, box score says the default "sunny"), the acquisition means of each player in the starting lineups (both games), a reminder about Spencer Michaelis' scouting reports from last winter, the available bonus information, immediate reactions, and more. Please visit the thread and take it all in, in full. The Men in Blue started their season with a bang despite allowing two runs in the top of the 1st, immediately scoring four of their own, and then three more in the 2nd. 16-year-old Dominican native and third baseman (he'll turn 17 in a month but get him to Am-Fam tonight ) Leanders Matos pulled a grand slam to left field in his very first professional at-bat. Only slightly outdone by Matos, $1.6 million bonus baby Diego Frontado clubbed a three-run shot in his 2nd pro plate appearance. The young men committed five errors, including two by Frontado, as the three Brewer arms only allowed two earned runs. Third-year DSL RHP Ruben Saldana (a Mexico native) earned a three-inning save in which he did not walk a batter. As for daily Link Reporting on the DSL games, we will not be quite as thorough as with the full-season affiliates, or even Maryvale. Time and effort constraints are real when the daily grind presents at least seven games on many days, and sometimes even eight or nine! We invite our wonderful readers and posters to reply to our reports with any insights you wish to share. Thanks! Final: DSL Orioles Orange 5, DSL Brewers Gold 2 Box Score and Game Log The Golden Boys committed as many errors as they had hits (four apiece). Second-year player Jefer Lista reached all four trips (double, three walks). 17-year-old switch-hitting LF Manny De Los Santos' first pro hit was a double, plus he walked twice. Shortstop Ricki Moneys was 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base out of the leadoff spot. Overall, the team was 4-for-6 on the basepaths. Here's Spencer's early analysis of 16-year-old catcher Moises Salazar in his debut game. Moneys committed his first error, but it was a tougher day in the field for debuting third baseman Josue Rodriguez, who was charged with three of his own (two throwing, one fielding). Second-year RHP Derlin Garcia was the most impressive of the three Brewer arms, working his way through five innings allowing two runs. There are seven games on tap for Tuesday, and MiLB has finally figured a way to place the complex leagues on the same scoreboard page as the full-season clubs, yay! Link below.

  9. Took a few stops, but it should be noted that Tristan Peters is contributing nicely in a not-so-small sample role for a surprisingly competitive White Sox team, CF, occasionally RF. Trading for Trevor Rosenthal was a whiff, but the Brewers were right in investing a 7th round pick in 2021.

Not sure if the Journal-Sentinel still provides any "free" views, but JR Radcliffe has done a fine job all season on his weekly recaps, here's his latest. JR also refers to the The Athletic's feature on Cooper Pratt. Thus concludes the subscription-linking portion of today's thread.
