Here's your final Link Report for games of Saturday 9/3

Saturday saw pitching dominance in multiple locales, though especially of note was youngster Carlos Rodriguez' effort for the Timber Rattlers, and the mound work of the opponent vs, the Shuckers. The Nashville and Carolina starters had excellent evenings of their own. Don't worry, we have offensive highlights as well, and the umpires managed to add their own level of dominance to the mix. Let's check it all out!

The Nashville and Carolina starters had excellent evenings of their own. Don't worry, we have offensive highlights as well, and the umpires managed to add their own level of dominance to the mix. Let's check it all out! Transactions: None Final: Nashville 4, Memphis (Cardinals) 1 Via the Sounds' site, game details, and we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of your Link Report routine: Tyler Herb Deals Sounds to Another Win - Right-hander fires season-high eight innings at First Horizon Park Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Is it possible the Brewers work out a 2023 contract with RHP Tyler Herb for his age 31 season? Sure, and one would think Nashville is a welcome spot for anyone at the AAA level - don't overlook that when luring each season's incoming minor league free agent crop. Let's not oversell Herb's 2022 AAA efforts - he does have a .294 batting average against and scattered seven hits and an HBP here - but with no walks Saturday, he now is posting a 4-to-1 K-to-BB ratio. Managers tend to like that. With Esteury Ruiz ' call-up, the Sounds have only one non-catcher bench player. On this night, that was INF Andruw Monasterio getting the night off with Sal Frelick resting his legs a bit in the DH spot. Sal also played some early-game pinball - Brice Turang is so smooth - When the AAA affiliate is 29 games over .500, as they are today, it's likely we're going to want to see several of the contributors back regardless of their free agent status. Add 29-year-old Hobie Harris and his 1.72 ERA / 1.11 WHIP to the list. That being said, it's a two-way conversation and Mr. Harris is going to have offers to choose from. Turang on base four times, Frelick thrice -- my goodness, they are dynamic. Final: Rocket City (Angels) 8, Biloxi 0 Biloxi No-Hit by Rocket City - First Time in Franchise History Biloxi Has Been No Hit Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log While that game summary you just read was workmanlike, let's face it, the perspective is going to be more interesting from the other side of the glass, and we can all appreciate when history was made. MiLB.com's feature story adds more juice to the evening, even as Brewers fans may not be thrilled. Despite being drafted in 2021 (and 11th round at that), Chase Silseth actually has already made seven big league starts earlier this season (6.59 ERA, somewhat understandable). All three Trash Pandas pitchers on this night were from that draft class, which was memorable because the Angels used all 20 draft picks on pitchers. If you wish to see bats flailing, there's this video. Trying to be creative, but I have no guesses on what the three words may have been. Ump show. Felix Valerio was back at a more familiar second base after patrolling center field Friday night. With Wes Clarke behind the dish, three of the four bench bats were also catchers - Brent Diaz, Nick Kahle, and Jason Lopez. All four backstops are scheduled to return in 2023, the Brewers do love those warm bodies behind the plate (and for all those spring training bullpens). Final: Wisconsin 4, Peoria (Cardinals) 1 Rodríguez Perfect in Wisconsin’s 4-1 Win - Rattler righty records nine strikeouts over six perfect innings Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Video is embedded in Chris Mehring's fine game summary, but for those of you who are click-averse for some reason (too early on a Sunday morning?), here you go - Refresher - Carlos Rodriguez doesn't turn 21 until three days after Thanksgiving. Though a native of Nicaragua, he was not an international signee, but a 2021 draft pick out of Florida Southwestern State JC. Perhaps based on his 2021 workload, Rodriguez didn't debut until this season. Here are the 2021 draft day scouting reports we linked to upon his selection. Carlos certainly is a viable choice for 2022 Brewers Organizational Pitcher of the Year, and his breakout within a debut campaign is fantastic for the organization. Ump show #2 on this night? MiLB.TV subscribers, not much to see, but go to the 01:27:00 hour/minute mark in the third inning here. Speedster Arbert Cipion squibbed a ball to short, and the Peoria shortstop made one heck of a play. Called out, Cipion flashed the safe sign as he crossed the bag. Cipion must have said something, as he was ejected, though we don't see the dramatics of it all. First base coach Liu Rodriguez had a distanced discussion with the umpire, but it must have been the same three words for Cipion that Justin Jarvis used with Biloxi. Jackson Chourio was 1-for-5, three K's as the DH, Jeferson Quero 2-for-3, three RBI, one K whil manning the plate. How many close games have the Timber Rattlers been involved in? Well, Cam Robinson, since twice-promoted, and James Meeker, have combined for 34 T-Rat saves in 2022 03:07:00 hour/minute mark, again here for subscribers. Third baseman Ben Metzinger, already with a two-hit night, is drilled on a high fastball and spends the next couple of minutes crouched over while being attended to. Seemed to hit the left forearm (perhaps, inconclusive) but the right-handed hitting Metzinger would stay in the game. He would, however, be replaced in the field for the 9th inning immediately thereafter. Hopefully OK, maybe a day off Sunday to take advantage of Monday off. Final: Carolina 8, Columbia (Royals) 7 Jaraba and Castillo Homer in Tense 8-7 Victory Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Overlooking the unwanted late-inning dramatics, it was a nice four-inning start for 21-year-old 2022 11th round RHP Cameron Wagoner our of Eastern Michigan. It was his 2nd appearance and first start for the Muddies, and he's yet to give up a run in eight innings, fanning ten and walking just one. Spreading the love - a box score that each player in the Carolina lineup can appreciate. Double and single for 1st round SS Eric Brown, Jr. As Voice of the Mudcats Greg Young, Jr. notes - "Despite the victory, Carolina’s elimination number fell to three with only seven games remaining." Darn, the Mudcats may very well finish in second place in both the first and second half standings. To the delight of the Timber Rattlers' traveling party, Peoria scheduled a Sunday night game for their home finale, sigh. Thanks for reading and have a heck of a Sunday, everyone. *There seems to be a technical issue with the normal link we provide for standings and sortable stat pages. We'll look to rectify soon.

I was 13 years old in that Bicentennial 1976 year and trying to build my budding Brewer fandom any way I could. Having Travers as a Massachusetts kid added to the fun. The '76 Brewers lost 95 games, but they were in the AL East and would make their Fenway visits, thrilling for Travers no doubt. Thanks for the article!

Here's your final Link Report for games of Friday 9/2

After only four starts at the AA level, the Brewers moved their shiny new toy, LHP Robert Gasser, to Nashville for his AAA debut. Gasser squeezed a whole bunch into his evening, as we'll outline below. Corey Ray reminded us of all the "what ifs?" we'll be asking after he departs in minor league free agency this fall. Jackson Chourio should wear a Jackson Chourio costume this Halloween, he'd win every contest he enters. Carolina enjoyed the first few innings of their game, but little thereafter. Let's see how it all went down! Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic After only four starts at the AA level, the Brewers moved their shiny new toy, LHP Robert Gasser, to Nashville for his AAA debut. Gasser squeezed a whole bunch into his evening, as we'll outline below. Corey Ray reminded us of all the "what ifs?" we'll be asking after he departs in minor league free agency this fall. Jackson Chourio should wear a Jackson Chourio costume this Halloween, he'd win every contest he enters. Carolina enjoyed the first few innings of their game, but little thereafter. Let's see how it all went down! Transactions: Timber Rattler LHP Karlos Morales ' MiLB Player Page still indicates "suspended" for his innocent role in the Wrestling Night dust-up, but he clearly is back as he played a big part Friday night. When this player eventually makes his way to Appleton for Lederhosen Night, he'll feel right at home: Final: Nashville 6, Memphis (Cardinals) 5 Via the Sounds' site, game details, and we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of your Link Report routine: Sounds Hold Off Redbirds at First Horizon Park - Rick Sweet wins 224th game as Nashville manager Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Prized trade acquisition LHP Robert Gasser 's AAA debut was eventful, to be sure. Walk-walk-K-K (both looking)-double steal-F8 for a scoreless 1st. K-groundout-walk-walk-popout for a scoreless 2nd. Single-8-4 double play-K for a scoreless 3rd, Sal Frelick doing Sal Frelick things all night OK, so a roundabout way to get to three scoreless, and then there's a five-run Memphis 4th. The game summary mentions consecutive two-run base hits to trim the Sounds' lead to 6-5. The game log will come in handy for you here to get the full breadth of that 4th inning. Note the two-run double deflected off the glove of Weston Wilson that drove Gasser from the game. Watching it live at the time, certainly not an error on a tough play that brought Wilson to the left field wall, but it was hit very high, and Wilson had time to get under it but kind of semi-leaped thinking it was going over perhaps. If asked, Wilson would probably say he should have caught it. That doesn't excuse Gasser's six walks, but it would have made for a slightly more appealing final line. Speaking of Wilson, the minor-league-free-agent-to-be had done this earlier: Used properly in single-inning doses, RHP Trevor Kelley can be so nasty. He was money locking down the save with his side-winding arsenal. I think he may stick on the 40-man all offseason and be looked upon to contribute at the MLB level in 2023, we'll see how things evolve. Final: Biloxi 4, Rocket City (Angels) 2 Knarr's Seven Sterling Innings Helps Secure Shuckers' Win - Ray Homers Twice for Biloxi Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Sterling is used as an adjective a lot more within the sports world than outside of it. I like it here. 24-year-old southpaw Brandon Knarr has had a heck of a year between his 10 Timber Rattler starts and 14 with the Shuckers. Yes, most of the heavy-lifting was at the lower-level, but Knarr has been a horse, avoiding the blow-up outing, never leaving without completing at least four innings, and only twice not making it through five frames. The peripherals are there to match as evidenced by a glance at his MiLB Player Page. Surely his managers appreciate Knarr's consistent efforts. Only four outfielders currently on this squad, and with Corey Ray getting the night at designated hitter, it was none other than 5'7" Felix Valerio patrolling center field for the first time in his professional career. It wasn't out of desperation but by choice as either Garrett Whitley or Terence Doston could have been stationed in center with Valerio in a more familiar left field. Valerio handled the two fly balls sent his way - neither apparently requiring a leap at the wall. As for Ray, Corey will have no difficulty finding suitors in minor league free agency aiming to finally get consistent production out of him. Both of his home runs, along with other highlights, are available via the Shuckers' Twitter Media Feed. Final: Wisconsin 6, Peoria (Cardinals) 1 Chourio Powers Wisconsin Past Peoria - Brewers outfield prospect breaks tie with his fourth homer in five games Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Well, between the Sounds and T-Rats, at least the St. Louis organization is being handed losses somewhere. One more homestand, fans, just one more Appleton homestand. See him while you can. Hello again, just-turned-21-year-old RHP Alexander Cornielle . Folks, when you do attend that Timber Rattler final homestand, you have a chance to see Cornielle, and 20-year-old RHP's Stiven Cruz and Carlos Rodriguez in a starting role. Not to mention 21-year-old RHP Israel Puello , who has flashed brightly at times in Appleton. That is a very exciting and exceedingly young foursome. Look for Rodriguez, with his JUCO background, to be the one to start 2023 in Biloxi - I wouldn't mind seeing the other three back at Wisconsin minimally for April and May 2023, but surely the young men's ambitions (and spring wardrobes for the location) have other things in mind. Talk about the fruits of one's labor and an organization seeing a development plan through, as 6th year LH reliever Karlos Morales (one of those years was the lost Covid season) has had a 2022 he'll remember for sure. The recently turned 23-year-old should be in Biloxi at some point next summer. I'm sure other since-released players might roll their eyes at the term "seeing a development plan through", but those are certainly stories for other days. Final: Columbia (Royals) 17, Carolina 8 Carolina Pitchers Walk 14 in 17-8 Loss - The Mudcats led 5-0 after the third and 7-3 after the fifth before losing 17-8 on Friday night Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Feel free to review just the first three innings of the game log - Mudcats up 5-0 after three. Go ahead, review another two innings after that - Mudcats up 7-3 after five. When you see those three double-digit ERA's of the three Mudcats recently promoted Maryvale pitchers, you're looking at a combined seven outings only. Regardless, that's some ugly stuff going on there. We just discussed all the Carolina pitching talent that has made its way up to Wisconsin, clearly backfilling is not always easy. The Mudcats reached base via HBP four times, including two by CF Jace Avina, who now remarkably has been plunked 18 times vs. 194 AB's in 2022. Compare that to Wisconsin single-season HBP leader Darrian Miller's 22 HBP's vs. 293 AB's. That's 9.3% for Avina, 7.5% for Miller. Avina did face a bunch of wild rookie arms while in Maryvale, though. Nice to see rehabbing Max Lazar's brief but effective start. Carolina has a 4:00 Central start Saturday, with the other clubs playing in the early evening. Thanks for joining us during this late stretch of the Minor League Link Report season. I'll catch you again Sunday AM.
