While the Brewers spent pretty much the entirety of their pool on Lara, I have zero recollections of any penalties associated with his signing.

It’s happening to me, maybe not exclusively but often enough to notice.

Thanks, updated to Mitchell, some weird copy and paste voodoo apparently.

Here's your final Link Report for games of Saturday 8/27

OK, so that's a headline that will grab your attention. Yet despite that wild moment, there were plenty of things to highlight from a pure baseball perspective on the Milwaukee farm as well. Let's kick off your Sunday morning perusal! Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic OK, so that's a headline that will grab your attention. Yet despite that wild moment, there were plenty of things to highlight from a pure baseball perspective on the Milwaukee farm as well. Let's kick off your Sunday morning perusal! Transactions: From Friday night's Link Report: "Health concerns first from the 3rd inning of Biloxi's Game One - Tristen Lutz was drilled by a pitch right off the protective left ear of his batting helmet, or perhaps just a touch above it. MiLB TV subscribers, go the 01:57:00 hour/minute mark here. Clearly shaken up but somehow managing to stay on his feet, Lutz was immediately whisked into the dugout. Hopefully OK, and surely, Tristen was placed on concussion-watch protocol immediately. Best wishes, young man." On Saturday, the Brewers placed Lutz on the Biloxi 7-day IL. And yes, there was this ?, congratulations Garrett! Milwaukee Brewers selected the contract of OF Garrett Mitchell from Nashville Sounds. Final: Nashville 3, Durham (Rays) 2 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 Edge Durham - Outfield Trio of Frelick, Ruiz and Wiemer Each Drives in a Run Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log We are witnessing one of the greatest affiliate seasons in Brewers' history. That the Sounds are only 3.5 games up in the standings is only a testament to how well the Guardians' Columbus club has played. These two-city but twelve-game road trips in the new MiLB schedule format are absolute beasts, and the Sounds, as noted in the summary you just read, are 8-3 heading into Sunday's finale. We'll often utilize the "Three Quick Strikes" format - well, the Sounds' staff beat us to that long ago, and their notes at the back end of the summary on Esteury Ruiz, Sal Frelick, Joey Wiemer, Hobie Harris, Trevor Kelley and Tyler Herb are spot-on and eye-opening. On a side note, I'm surprised that spelling "Esteury" correctly is coming pretty naturally. The 7th inning game log reveals a rather tame set of circumstances, but there was something within the mix, including a base on balls by Lucas Erceg, that got pitching coach Jeremy Accardo ejected. For those of you still glancing at batting average (hard not to, even in this era of box scores), Mario Feliciano 's double and single have him up to .291, he doesn't have enough plate appearances to appear among International League leaders. (Brice Turang at .289 does, and he sits at 16th.) Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Chattanooga (Reds) 2, Biloxi 1 Tight Contest Ends In 2-1 Shuckers' Defeat - Biloxi and Chattanooga Conclude Series with Doubleheader Sunday Box Score / Game Log Let's just agree that those Mardi Gras jerseys the Shuckers sported Saturday (revisit game summary) are, well, they are something. Glove work gets the spotlight in a low-scoring affair - Both players highlighted, Garrett Whitley and Yeison Coca, qualify for minor league free agency at season' s end. Five of the Shuckers eight hits came from Gabe Holt and Brent Diaz at the bottom of the order, but the dreaded 0-for-9 with RISP and ten LOB doomed this team effort. For only the 4th time all season (23 starts), Brandon Knarr walked more than two batters. Yet he tossed six shutout frames here despite four free passes, pitching on nine days' rest. It's been a very solid season for the 24-year-old "undrafted" southpaw, who only wears that moniker due to the five-round 2020 Covid draft situation. Very rare hiccup for a true undrafted player, RHP "Have luggage, will travel" Ryan Middendorf, who stumbled in his AAA debut. Since signing back on June 14th, the 24-year-old has played in Maryvale, Carolina, Wisconsin and now Biloxi. We just kicked off an Arizona Fall League Predictions Thread over on the Minor League Forum, and Middendorf's name has already been dropped. With Biloxi not challenging for a title and high school and college football season prep well underway, it's no surprise those local Biloxi TV station reports on the Shuckers dried up many weeks ago, Football's kind of big down there... Final: Lansing (Athletics) 3, Wisconsin 2 Rattlers Drop Another Close One to Lugnuts - Lugnuts beat Rattlers by a 3-2 Score on Second Straight Night Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log (Tomorrow meaning Sunday...) Guess whose jersey auction is generating the most interest - today's the final day of this auction. Major fan-boy here, and I can promise you that WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle most certainly does not suck, but this is fun history - Wrestling diehard and Voice of the T-Rats Chris Mehring , along with Angle in the booth, got to witness history, we are so happy for Chris on this day - and oh, Darrien Miller, too! Only at WWE night in Appleton could this have happened, and this may be the most ridiculous reason to initiate a brawl in history - really?! That Lansing player is going to be hit with quite the punishment. Oh, by the way, there was an actual full game played, including promising RHP Alexander Cornielle 's Midwest League debut, and the game summary linked above includes full highlights of that. Final: Kannapolis (White Sox) 11, Carolina 4 Early Deficit Too Much in 11-4 Loss to Kannapolis - The Mudcats fell to 4.5 games back of first with Saturday’s loss Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Just-turned 19-year-old Yujanjer Herrera made his second start for the Mudcats since his promotion from Maryvale. This is what his first start looked like: Unfortunately, as the game summary painfully indicates, his second outing did not nearly go as well in one of the rougher prospect game lines of 2022. Props to RHP Jeferson Figueroa for stepping in and bringing a sense of normalcy to the proceedings. First round pick Eric Brown Jr. missed a fourth game, and with Monday off, a Sunday appearance would be nice but is probably unlikely. Sunday finds all four affiliates in action, naturally, but it's worth noting that the Shuckers play two, the Sounds have a later-than-usual 4:05 Central start, the Timber Rattlers game is the last to be broadcast on local Green Bay TV this season, and the noontime Central Mudcats road game is MiLB TV's Free Game of the Day, so check out rehabbing RHP Max Lazar.

Here's your final Link Report for games of Friday 8/26

Friday saw a mixed bag of results, though contending teams Nashville and Carolina were victorious in their road tilts. Biloxi players finally got a chance to open their series after three days of rainouts and split their doubleheader efforts. Wisconsin had a disappointing evening. Along the way, there were two scary moments in which players were forced to immediately be pulled from the game. Some top prospects excelled. Here we go with another busy report! Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Friday saw a mixed bag of results, though contending teams Nashville and Carolina were victorious in their road tilts. Biloxi players finally got a chance to open their series after three days of rainouts and split their doubleheader efforts. Wisconsin had a disappointing evening. Along the way, there were two scary moments in which players were forced to immediately be pulled from the game. Some top prospects excelled. Here we go with another busy report! Transactions: - INF/OF Pablo Reyes optioned to AAA Nashville from MLB Brewers (creating space for the reinstatement of INF/OF Jace Peterson) - RHP Arielbi Gonzalez promoted to Low-A Carolina from ACL Brewers Blue - RHP Yerlin Rodriguez promoted to Low-A Carolina from ACL Brewers Gold Final: Nashville 11, Durham (Rays) 8 Via the Sounds' site, game details, and we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Wiemer, Sounds Slug Past Durham - Joey Wiemer Hits Two of Nashville’s Four Homers in Road Victory Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log First order of business was confirming that Sal Frelick was in fact simply enjoying a day off (he was). A thank you to Spencer Michaelis for splicing these out from the road Bulls broadcast. The Joey Wiemer blasts are in reverse chronological order - In a down season in terms of average and OBP, Wiemer has 19 home runs and is 29-for-32 in stolen base attempts. Wish my down seasons in life were as productive. Take a gander at Wiemer's month-to-month splits. We may never know the extent of the still unconfirmed hand-related woes that apparently impacted his June and July, but with his promotion, Brewers brass saw past that impact. The roadrunner Sounds only attempted two stolen bases, but both Esteury Ruiz and Garrett Mitchell were successful (naturally). Although not snapped when he was with Nashville, have to love the photo of Ruiz sitting atop his MiLB Player Page. When they weren't crushing dingers, the Sounds were 4-for-5 with RISP. Take note, big league club. Not a stellar mound night, Dylan File 106 pitches in just 4.1 innings, and while Cam Robinson opened a get-some-work-in 9th with single-walk-two RBI double, he immediately buckled down to retire the final three batters. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final, Game One: Chattanooga (Reds) 4, Biloxi 2 Box Score / Game Log Final, Game Two: Biloxi 11, Chattanooga 5 Box Score / Game Log Warren Drives in Six Across Two Games as Shuckers Split Doubleheader - Whitley Homers, Walks Four Times for Biloxi Health concerns first from the 3rd inning of Game One - Tristen Lutz was drilled by a pitch right off the protective left ear of his batting helmet, or perhaps just a touch above it. MiLB TV subscribers, go the 01:57:00 hour/minute mark here. Clearly shaken up but somehow managing to stay on his feet, Lutz was immediately whisked into the dugout. Hopefully OK, and surely, Tristen was placed on concussion-watch protocol immediately. Best wishes, young man. Thomas Dillard saw his first 2022 defensive action at a position other than first base when he started for Lutz in left field of Game Two, and wouldn't you know, had an outfield assist. Don't expect days off for Corey Ray or Garrett Whitley while Lutz is sidelined, and Terence Doston remains on the roster and entered for Lutz in Game One. Thanks again, Spencer - a couple of filthy pitches from LHP Robert Gasser here. Gasser deserved a better fate in Game One, as the doubleheader summary detailed well. Gasser walked one, hit one batter, and fanned nine in 5.2 IP, touched for two solo home runs. Here is a direct link to the Shuckers' Twitter Media Page, where you will find ten, count 'em, ten videos from the Friday twinbill. RH starter Victor Castaneda can underwhelm as he did in the nightcap: four shutout innings and handed a six-run lead, then homer - bunt single - line drive single - line drive double - home run to start the 5th. Final: Lansing (Athletics) 3, Wisconsin 2 Rattlers Late Lead Disappears Against Lansing - Lugnuts beat Rattlers 3-2 Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Honestly, I'm trying to picture the combined frustration level of a fan in attendance in Appleton Friday night who was also simultaneously listening to the big-league Brewers game. That game summary is just dripping with what-if's and why's. Nice awaited rebound effort from RHP Israel Puello, though, sweet. Saturday marks ten days since Jackson Chourio (sore right elbow) played. While that Chourio note may bum you out, these two interviews were fun, especially Metzinger, who only learned a minute or two prior he'd be going on the air - Via WSCO's "The Show with Leo and Balky: Timber Rattlers 7th round Louisville third baseman Ben Metzinger (go to the 12:40 minute mark) - also 2021 5th round Duke infielder Ethan Murray (go to the 37:45 minute mark) Speaking of audio -- "The final Los Cascabeles Night of the season was a tough 3-2 loss for the Timber Rattlers. Chris Mehring & Kyle Lobner talk about the positives like Israel Puello, Joe Gray Jr. and Jose Acosta. Joe Ayrault chimes in with a brief history of Hit Batsmen in the Darrien Miller family and more in this edition of the Postgame Podcast." Did we link within our daily reports to the latest T-Rat talk yet, with Darrien Miller? Here you go. As of Sat. AM, about a day and a half left for those sweet jerseys via auction. Final: Carolina 4, Kannapolis (White Sox) 1 Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log At least for the moment, no game summary available for this road contest. The Voice of the Mudcats, Greg Young, Jr., hasn't traveled with the team this season, something hopefully rectified in 2023 and beyond, it's amazing he has provided us with as much as he has this season. Remember Brewers, you own this affiliate! Yes, LHP Leoni De La Cruz was already 23 years old when he signed with the Crew in 2021. Now 24, that should be taken into account. But De La Cruz got an out to strand three baserunners for starter Tyler Woessner and then went on to toss four additional scoreless. That's one of the more impressive relief performances in the system this season. This was Woessner's full-season debut. Via @Joseph Zarr in our Minor league Forum nightly thread: Uh oh, Woessner just took a hard-hit comebacker off his pitching arm/hand? It's hard to tell. The trainer came out and gave skipper Victor Estevez the 'no go' sign. MiLB TV subscribers: Go to the 01:26:25 hour/minute mark here. Ugh, but how lucky have we been to have Joseph somehow monitor so much game action live from his Pacific Northwest farm-cave. We've been privy to details we otherwise would not have been, so thanks, Joseph! 2022 first round pick Eric Brown, Jr. has been idle since Tuesday, three games missed. As is so often the case without a clear in-game exit, we are left to wonder. For all we know, Brown could be on a personal-related absence. No speculation on our part - yet. Monster game for 18-year-old LF Luis Castillo, 4-for-4 with two doubles. He factored into all three run-scoring innings, and in the unique summary-less scenario here, this is an ideal time for you to click on the game log and visit the 2nd, 6th, and 8th innings. It's four evening games for the affiliates Saturday night. Both Nashville (leading) and Carolina (trailing) see 3.5 game differences in their respective standings. Oh, and we kicked off a new "Alumni News and Notes Thread", be sure to check out the Friday nights of Ryan Aguilar and Cody Ponce! Catch you again Sunday morning, folks.
