Wednesday 11/9: CF Esteury Ruiz - 0-for-3, one K in his team's 1-0 win, batted 9th (Box / Log) CF Jackson Chourio - 0-for-4, one K in his team's 4-0 loss, batted 5th (Box / Log) There were two outs, so the 3rd base coach was in "go" mode, but still a decent throw here - RHP Arnaldo Hernandez - Allowed a single and a walk in a scoreless 7th opposing Chourio's team in the above box score, including a strikeout of Chourio. 1B Mario Feliciano - yes, playing first base for the first time since a single game six years ago in this same Puerto Rico League as a 17-year-old - 0-for-4, one K (Box / Log) C Brian Navarreto - Feliciano's teammate had a huge game in the 3-1 win, 3-for-3 with a walk (HR, double, two RBI), threw out one of two baserunners. We likely will not see much, if any, video out of Puerto Rico this winter season. C Jason Lopez - With a 3-for-5 night (R, RBI, K), the 24-year-old Lopez is now 7-for-10 and sports a 1.827 OPS. That's good, right? (Box / Log) RHP JC Mejia - Allowed one run in his inning, after two K's, single, SB, single (Box / Log) Reminder - we are up to ten Brewers participating this winter season, including three 40-man roster members (Feliciano, Esteury Ruiz, Luis Perdomo). Track all players' statistical exploits here.

Brewers' transaction page indicates the signing of recently turned 19-year-old RHP Elias Gonzalez, a 6'1" 185 lb. native of San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic.

Wednesday 11/9: Glendale wins 10-4, taking the lead with a seven-run 8th. Box / Game Log Zavier Warren, playing first base and batting 5th, was 0-for-4 with a walk, scored a run (one K) Currently the video archive of this game sits at the "Live Stream" page - Glendale at Mesa.

Tuesday 11/8: CF Esteury Ruiz needed this game - 3-for-3 along with a walk and stolen base, scoring two runs. The knocks for the RH hitter were described as on a ground ball to left field, a line drive to left field and a line drive to right field (Box / Log) For his efforts, Ruiz, won the "Bull Chain" CF Jackson Chourio, 2-for-3 (double), RBI, K. But ouch, Chourio was picked off 3rd base with two outs in the 7th after his team had just added a run to go up 2-0 (which was the final score). Also, Chourio started in right field before shifting back over to center. (Box / Log) That Chourio box score can also be used to check in on RHP Arnaldo Hernandez. Hernandez allowed a line drive single to center to his late-season Biloxi teammate Chourio within that 7th inning, allowing one run on two hits and an HBP. Catcher Mario Feliciano had a personal night to forget though his team prevailed by a 3-1 score with him behind the plate - 0-for-5, one K. Four baserunners stole bags, one on a double steal at home. (Box / Log) RHP Luis Perdomo earned a hold with a hitless 7th inning, one HBP in the mix, no K's (Box / Log) Reminder - we are up to ten Brewers participating this winter season, including three 40-man roster members (Feliciano, Esteury Ruiz, Luis Perdomo).

Tuesday 11/8: Glendale rolls 9-3. Season ends Thursday, two games remain. Box / Game Log Up 9-0 entering the bottom of the 9th, RHP Ryan Middendorf figured he had the night off. But a faltering reliever allowed three runs, including four walks, so Middendorf was brought in with two runners on to get the game's final out. He did so on a fly out to the lone batter he faced. Zavier Warren, playing third base and batting 5th, was 0-for-4 but drove in a run on a sacrifice fly (K'd twice, which is rare). Je'Von Ward made a 5th inning entrance in a designated hitter swap. Ward would get three plate appearances, 0-for-2 with two K's, a walk and run scored. Catcher Jeferson Quero was 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored. No baserunners attempted to steal, partly a byproduct of the score (Glendale broke it open with six runs in the 5th). Currently the video archive of this game sits at the "Live Stream" page - Glendale at Peoria. Some prior games discussed in this thread can be found on the site's archive page, where this game will be shifted to at some point.

Via RazzBall - Brewers Top 10 Prospects for 2023 Fantasy Baseball

Monday 11/8: C Mario Feliciano - Feliciano made his Puerto Rico winter ball debut batting 2nd as the designated hitter, going 2-for-5, three RBI (one K) in a 7-3 win. Feliciano had a two-run ground ball single to center in the 4th, and a line drive RBI single to center in the 8th. (Box / Log) C Brian Navarreto - Feliciano's teammate at Nashville in 2022, Navarreto is again a teammate. He was 1-for-4 (line drive single to center), scoring a run. Navarreto always shines defensively and threw out the lone baserunner who dared. RHP Matt Hardy - Made his 2022 debut in the Puerto Rico League in style, netting a hold and helping his team combine on a shutout in a 2-0 win, tossing scoreless 6th and 7th innings. The very first two batters Hardy faced had ground ball singles that reached the outfield, before a GIDP and K quickly ended things. Hardy then pitched a 1-2-3 7th with two more ground ball outs. (Box / Log) The Dominican and Venezuelan Leagues were both idle on Monday. The Brewers have yet to have a Mexican League participant in 2022. The Arizona Fall League was also off, but 4th place Glendale returns to action Tuesday afternoon (current standings with AFL action winding down). Reminder - we are up to ten Brewers participating this winter season, including three 40-man roster members (Feliciano, Esteury Ruiz, Luis Perdomo). Track all players' statistical exploits here.

RHP Josh Lindblom is a free agent, does not have to wait the requisite five days after the World Series like other minor league free agents, due to his big-league deal.

Sunday 11/6: CF Esteury Ruiz batted 9th, 0-for-4, one K, now 5-for-30, yet to walk in eight games (.388 OPS) CF Jackson Chourio, 1-for-2 (double), sacrifice bunt, OPS climbing at .681 after 52 at-bats, just two walks thus far (one intentional) 2B Andruw Monasterio, who has seen limited time this week, struck out in a pinch-hit appearance C Jason Lopez had a pinch-hit double. He's 4-for-5 on the winter and sports a 2.433 OPS! C Brian Navarreto, as we noted in yesterday's post, has made his way to his native Puerto Rico. That league began play Sunday, and Navarreto singled and walked in three plate appearances. The only other known Brewer in Puerto Rico is RHP Matt Hardy, who did not pitch on his team's Opening Day. RHP JC Mejia was brought in to pitch the bottom of the 9th after his team had just scored two runs in the top of the frame to tie things at 5-5. After a groundout and pop out this happened:

From this article detailing how each organization's prospects did in the Fall Star Game - Brewers Righty Abner Uribe boasts serious heat, which was on display when he reached triple digits coming out of the bullpen in the sixth inning. He permitted a hit and a walk but did not allow a run, fanning two. Jeferson Quero, the Brewers' No. 7 prospect, entered the game behind the dish as a defensive replacement in the sixth. He popped out to short in the bottom half of the frame before leading off the ninth with a single to left. Zavier Warren replaced Noelvi Marte at third in the sixth and grounded out to first in his lone at-bat.

Saturday 11/5: CF Esteury Ruiz - Moved to the 9th spot in the lineup from leadoff, 1-for-3, bunt single (advanced to second base on an error), R, BB, zero K's - now 5-for-26, one walk, three K's CF Jackson Chourio, again batting 7th, 1-for-3, BB - Chourio's team was shut out 2-0 despite ten base hits and five walks, 13 LOB, 0-for-10 RISP C Jason Lopez - 2-for-3, BB, R, RBI, K including: Busy mound day: RHP Luis Perdomo - the 40-man roster member pitched a 1-2-3 6th inning, one K in his winter debut RHP JC Mejia - pitched a scoreless 8th, worked around a one-out single, got the win - Mejia has been spotless thus far, eight games - 9 IP, 0.00 ERA, 3 H, 1 BB, 9 K. No team claimed Mejia after his August 18th placement on waivers, but could he be a candidate to be lost in December's Rule 5 draft? RHP Arnaldo Hernandez - pitched a 1-2-3 7th, one K. In four games (4.2 IP), Hernandez also has an ERA of 0.00 (two unearned runs), zero BB, 3 K Also - Catcher Brian Navarreto is no longer listed on the roster of his Dominican League team. From a translated article of October 29th: The Toros del Este announced the hiring of catcher David Bañuelos, who will replace Brian Navarreto, also a mask on his roster. Bañuelos has several days in the country and will be ready to debut this Saturday in Santiago, replacing Navarreto who had to leave last night's game after receiving a blow to the head, which will take him out of the game for what remains of his contract. The manager explained that Navarreto was interested in fulfilling the remaining days of his contract, but the medical staff recommended rest due to the blow he received. NOTE: Navarreto is a native of Puerto Rico and is now listed on the roster of Gigantes de Carolina of the Puerto Rico Winter League, which begins play today (Sunday the 6th), or so it appears. Navaretto's MiLB Player Page also lists the switch.

Let's see if we can get this thread back to Fall League posts, thanks - yes, I realize this tangent is related to Abner Uribe's fall season performance to date.

Friday 11/4: Glendale wins 6-1, now 12-13 overall. Box / Game Log We'll just call this the Je'Von Ward game. Top-notch article here - great to see the video interview and get caught up on Ward's status after such an unfortunate set of injury absences. Elsewhere, 1B Zavier Warren was 0-for-2, but scored a run, as he walked three times. Warren's OBP is .476 through 20 games. Warren has walked 19 times and fanned only 13 in 63 AB's. Jeferson Quero was the DH in this one, 0-for-4 with three K's. No Brewers pitchers Friday. Currently the video archive of this game sits at the "Live Stream" page - Glendale at Scottsdale. Some prior games discussed in this thread can be found on the site's archive page, where this game will be shifted to at some point. The AFL is off on Saturday leading into Sunday's "Fall Star Game". Warren, Quero, and RHP Abner Uribe made the squad. If the Astros win the World Series Saturday, the Fall Star Game will air on MLB Network at 3:00 PM Central Sunday. If the Phillies force a Game 7, then the game from Arizona will solely stream live on MLB.com. *** Batting Statistics: Zavier Warren, Je'Von Ward, Jeferson Quero, Tyler Black Pitching Statistics: Russell Smith, Abner Uribe, Ryan Middendorf, Luis Contreras; yet to pitch, RHP Logan Henderson

Friday 11/4: CF Jackson Chourio, 3-for-5, one K (12-for-47 thru 11 games, .633 OPS) - Chourio was shifted to 7th in the order, removed from the leadoff spot, and he responded with three singles and an RBI Due to rainouts or sitting out, Chourio was the lone winter baller in action Friday.

Tuesday 11/1: Via 97.3's "Nine2Noon Show": Former Brewers pitcher Paul Wagner (go to the 53:00 minute mark) *** Wednesday 11/2: Via 97.3's Drew & KB: Paul Wagner *** Thursday 11/3: Via WTMJ: Dom Cotroneo hosts "Brewers Weekly"

Thursday 11/3: Glendale gets crushed 12-4. Box / Game Log Good news first? RHP Abner Uribe tossed a scoreless 6th (though Abner doesn't really "toss", does he?). He fanned two. One runner reached on a ground ball single. The fifth start of the fall for LHP Russell Smith began well enough with a 1-2-3 1st. But the next inning began HR-walk-single-single, and eventually all four runners came around to score, though one was unearned. In the 3rd inning, Smith allowed a walk and single to the first two batters. Coming back to the mound after a 20-minute rain delay, Smith retired three in a row. Final line - 3 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 HR. RHP Luis Contreras followed Smith, and it didn't go well. Contreras gave up five runs in the 4th, allowing two doubles, three singles and two walks (not in that order). It's all at the game log link. 36 pitches and day done. The only Crew position player was LF Je'Von Ward, 1-for-3, BB, RBI, two K's. You can see Ward's 11-game output at the Batting Statistics page below. Currently the video archive of this game sits at the "Live Stream" page - Surprise at Glendale.

Thursday 11/3: CF Jackson Chourio, 0-for-4, no K's, (9-for-42 thru ten games, .566 OPS, only one walk). So close on this dive - Chourio was the only player seeing action Thursday, several rainouts. Catching up from Wednesday, catcher Jason Lopez (Biloxi, 2022) made his winter debut and singled in his only plate appearance thus far.

Wednesday 11/2: CF Esteury Ruiz 1-for-4 (infield hit), SB, fielding error (4-for-23 thru six games, zero walks, three K's) CF Jackson Chourio, 0-for-5, one K (9-for-38 thru nine games, .624 OPS) 2B Andruw Monasterio, 0-for-4, BB, R, two K's, fielding error (4th in six games)

Wednesday 11/2: Glendale loses 2-1. Box / Game Log RHP Ryan Middendorf pitched scoreless ball over the 6th and 7th innings, allowing two singles and hitting one batter. Middendorf is sporting a sweet 1.08 WHIP despite walking five and plunking five in 12 innings. He has struck out 16 batters. Rare rough day for Zavier Warren, back at first base, 0-for-4 with three K's. Catcher Jeferson Quero was 0-for-3 with a K and committed his 4th error in 12 games. His throwing error did not cost his team a run. Currently the video archive of this game sits at the "Live Stream" page - Glendale at Surprise.

Tuesday 11/1: Glendale wins 4-0. Unfortunately, no Brewers pitched Box / Game Log The only Milwaukee prospect to see action was Zavier Warren, and in a nice surprise, played third base.
