The suddenly no-longer struggling Wisconsin club grabbed the sole win among the full-season teams Saturday, with plenty of feel-good moments within their game. There were some interesting parallels between affiliates on this day, both positive and negative, noted in the commentary below.

There were some interesting parallels between affiliates on this day, both positive and negative, noted in the commentary below. Transactions: RHP Connor Sadzeck declined his outright assignment to Nashville and is now a free agent. OF Corey Ray activated from 7-day IL at Nashville. Final: Charlotte (White Sox) 7, Nashville 5 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: Sounds Win Streak Snapped by Knights - Nashville’s eighth inning rally comes up short in 7-5 loss Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Pablo Reyes (.835 AAA OPS), batting 3rd in this lineup, exited after taking a wicked pitch to his left shin in the 8th. Don't expect him in Sunday's lineup, he hobbled off extremely gingerly after the trainer visit. MiLB.TV subscribers can see the incident here, go the 03:56:20 hour/minute mark. RHP Justin Topa's rehab inning: 3-1 groundout, walk (stolen base), RBI ground ball single to center, 4-3 groundout, 6-3 groundout. LHP Andy Otero hadn't allowed more than one run in an outing since June 14h - he faced four batters here: single, single, single, double, three described as line drives in the game log. Despite the loss, the Sounds media crew posted five video highlights to their Twitter media feed Saturday evening. From a prospect standpoint, certainly this one is the most impactful - Reyes' HBP came on literally the next pitch. Bright news here! Final: Montgomery (Rays) 9, Biloxi 4, ten innings Shuckers Fall 9-4 in Extras - Devanney and Lutz Go Back-To-Back Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Despite the home game, it was a night off for the Shuckers Twitter camera crew. Safe to say we won't see many more 0-for-6 nights in Sal Frelick's career. On the flip side, Cam Devanney, playing shortstop in this one, reached base five times (HR - his 16th, double, three walks). One can now truly compare his 2021 with the Shuckers to this season, as the at-bats nearly match. It's remarkable, and kudos to Cam, who was skipped over High-A last year. 2021: 291 at-bats, .175/.269/.261 (.530 OPS) 2022: 295 at-bats: .278/.357/.512 (.869 OPS) RHP Nash Walters had been unscored upon in 16 outings before his blow-up 10th inning here. Walters, the 2015 3rd round pick, could have chosen minor league free agency last fall, but was re-signed by Milwaukee. The two parties will face a similar situation this fall. Final: Wisconsin 7, Cedar Rapids (Twins) 6 Wisconsin Wows the Fans with 7-6 Win - Chourio homers and drives in three for Timber Rattlers Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Dig into that linked game report, then your eyes will match the words when you take in the package below. While it's fun to focus on Jackson Chourio, of course Chris Mehring didn't miss rightfully giving Tristan Peters his due: Peters went 3-for-4 in the game. He has six straight games with two or more hits and is 13-for-24 during that streak. Peters posted an "OK" .736 OPS as a 21-year-old college player (Southern Illinois) in Maryvale in 2021. The Brewers saw enough in spring training to have Peters bypass Carolina to begin this season, and Peters has been stellar. Cam Devanney, meet Tristan Peters - you've both enhanced our summer fandom greatly as out-of-nowhere major contributors. As uneven as Antoine Kelly's start was, the bullpen work of Joey Matulovich and James Meeker was fantastic. Final: Fayetteville (Astros) 3, Carolina 2 NOTE: Game summary is via the Fayetteville site - Woodpeckers Pull Off Eighth-Inning Comeback, Win Third Straight Against Mudcats Box Score / Game Log Solid recap summary there letting you know exactly how all five runs scored in the game. With two outs, tough way to lose the lead on a squib base hit scoring two - The lightning delay in the 5th (42 minutes) explains the truncated outing for RHP Carlos Rodriguez (four scoreless, hitless, two walks, one HBP). Nash Walters, meet Michele Vassalotti - organizational partners who had rough nights despite long stretches of success coming into Saturday. Eduarqui Fernandez, playing center field here, though with more corner outfield time under his belt to date, is off to a nice four-game start with the Mudcats. Don't forget, Fernandez was the 2018 big bonus baby, $1.1 million. RF Hendry Mendez with hits in 17-of-18 games. Final: ACL Brewers Gold 6, ACL Brewers Blue 5, eight innings (scheduled for seven) Box Score / Game Log Gold wins despite going 1-for-20 with RISP. Final: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 8, DSL Texas Blue 7 Box Score / Game Log A six-run 5th gave the Uno club a 7-2 lead before things got tight. Revenge win for Friday's matchup. 18-year-old Dominican RHP Aneuris Rodriguez' 7th pro appearance was by far his finest - no earned runs in five innings, no walks, six punchouts. Final: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 9, Phillies Red 6, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log Another reversal of fortune in a Friday rematch, My co-reporter @Joseph Zarr provided multiple nuggets on the three rookie-level games in his post on our Minor League Forum - be sure to check it out. The rookie clubs are now off until Monday. Nashville and Biloxi's games are Sunday evening, while the T-Rats and Mudcats play more traditional Sunday matinees.

The full-season affiliates took three of four contests Friday night, with the Timber Rattlers victory especially sweet coming off a rough ten-game slide. Freddy Peralta and Jake Cousins continued successful (so far, knock wood) rehab stints. Prepare for the Sal Frelick era in Milwaukee, hopefully commencing as early as May or June of 2023 (the cynic would say once he clears the "Super-Two" arbitration calendar bar). Regardless, it was a pleasant evening, let's kick things off. Transactions: RHP Connor Sadzeck was outrighted to Nashville. As a previously outrighted player (October 2019 by Seattle), Sadzeck has the right to refuse the outright and become a free agent. We'll await word as to if he indeed formally accepted this assignment back to the Sounds. RHP Jack Cousins had his rehab assignment moved from ACL Brewers Blue to Nashville. Final: Nashville 4, Charlotte (White Sox) 2 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: Hiura's Homer Leads Sounds to Another Win - Nashville has won nine of 10 games against Charlotte in 2022 Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log For everything from Freddy Peralta to Dylan File to Jake Cousins on the mound, fine infield defense, and photos from Tim Dillard's big Bobblehead and Jersey Retirement Night, please check out the Sounds' Twitter Media feed this morning.

With three catchers on the big league level, and four catchers at AAA - Jakson Reetz got the start here, with Mario Feliciano, Brian Navarreto and Jackson listed on the Sounds bench. Final: Biloxi 10, Montgomery (Rays) 9, ten innings Frelick Walk-off Hit Salvages 10-9 Win in Extras - Shuckers Register 10th Walk-Off Victory Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Biloxi's own Twitter Media Feed has offense from Thomas Dillard, Noah Campbell, and of course, the Sal Frelick game-ender Yes, it was 8-0 Shuckers after five. Wild night, be sure to dig into the summary and the links above. Stat observation: With Frelick reaching base five times in this contest, his OBP in 50 games with Biloxi this summer is now .391. His OBP in 21 games to start 2022 with Wisconsin? .391. Final: Wisconsin 4, Cedar Rapids (Twins) 0 Rattlers Shut Out Cedar Rapids to Snap Streak - Jarvis pitches six scoreless with eight strikeouts in 4-0 win Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log AUDIO via the Soundcloud Rattler Radio Podcast: "The streak is over! The Timber Rattlers shut out the Cedar Rapids Kernels 4-0. The victory ended Wisconsin's ten-game losing streak. Chris Mehring & Kyle Lobner go over a few of the turning points and stats. Justin Jarvis, Tristan Peters, and Joe Ayrault have some comments from the clubhouse."

Alumni observation: Video via MLB Network's "MLB Central": Enjoy the amazing journey of former Timber Rattlers infielder / converted to RHP Jose Cuas , now thriving in the big leagues with Kansas City Final: Fayetteville (Astros) 2, Carolina 1 Late Error Proves Costly in 2-1 Loss in Fayetteville - The Carolina offense struck out a combined 17 times in the 2-1 loss in Fayetteville Pre-Game Media Notes / Box Score / Game Log Thank you, Greg Young, Voice of the Mudcats for this addition to the game summary you just read - NOTE: Jheremy Vargas took a pitch to his helmet in the seventh and was forced to leave the game. His helmet absorbed most of the contact and Vargas is reportedly doing well. The fateful decider - only error #7 on the season for Zack Raabe: Likely over-worrying lineup observation: Catcher Jeferson Quero was the designated hitter Tuesday but has since sat out the last three games. Final: ACL Brewers Blue 4, ACL Guardians 0 Box Score / Game Log Combined two-hitter for the three Blue hurlers. fanning 13 while walking three, nice! Final: ACL Brewers Gold 10, ACL Cubs 7 Box Score / Game Log Gold with more walks (eight) than hits (seven). Three of the seven were two-baggers. Final: DSL Texas Blue 5, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 3 Box Score / Game Log Ugly, seven errors, so be sure to see how many earned runs were allowed by Brewer pitchers during their nine innings on the mound. Final: Phillies Red 7, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 2 Box Score / Game Log Clean defense in this one, but a four-run Phillie 8th bumped a one-run Brewer deficit to five. Good place to remind everyone considering the need for this particular report to be a bit more streamlined this morning, that on a daily basis, we kick off a preview and an "as the games are being played" discussion thread on our Minor League Forum. Now please be aware that its volume of content will vary quite a bit from night-to-night, depending on the availability of our minor league gurus and contributions within from our posters, but you'll nearly always find noteworthy tidbits. Here's Friday night's thread. On Saturday, all four full-season affiliate games are in the evening, so you'll be able to sample after the mid-afternoon big-league Brewers game. The Maryvale youth play their traditional Saturday morning game against each other. Both Dominican squads will be in action as well. Hope you all have a fine start to your weekend. My weekend kicked off very well, sitting among so many others - for those of you who will also be in attendance at Fenway Saturday and/or Sunday, keep up the great work.

Here's your final Link Report for games of Wednesday 7/27

Some injured list paperwork designations: RHP Luke Barker (elbow) placed on the "Full Season" IL list at Nashville. OF Micah Bello moved from the 7-day to the 60-day IL at Wisconsin (initial placement was June 20th). RHP Max Lazar moved from the 7-day to the 60-day IL at Wisconsin (initial placement was June 13th). These moves to the extended IL's free up overall roster space, as only so many farmhands can be active in the system, as per MiLB standards.

There are certainly more, and likely even more prominent ones, but Joakim Soria, Xavier Cedeno, and J.P. Feyereisen (hello, eventually Willy Adames) were acquired in deals that included players who got their starts in the DSL. Value is in the eye of the beholder. (In the case of Feyereisen, the young man never even suited up for the Crew).

Tuesday 7/26: Brewers Unfiltered Podcast: Latest episode with Adam McCalvy, Tim Dillard and Brad Ford includes an interview with Vice President of Domestic Scouting Tod Johnson (enjoy the full show, the Johnson interview is at the 24:40 minute mark)

Taking the T into Fenway Welcome to my state! (I grew up and still live 50-60 miles to the south of Boston.) You should be fine with the "T", just keep an eye if it's an insanely late Sunday nighter - it helps immensely that ESPN starts their games an hour earlier than a few years ago. I'm not going to tell you not to go the bleacher route -- but especially if the Sox continue to stumble, wait out the StubHub route and just be diligent about updating your StubHub page and clicking on sections of interest. I'm going to see the Brewers Friday night and on Tuesday scored two $190 face value (each) field box seats between the Crew's 3rd base dugout and home plate for $55 apiece. That's not the available norm as I type, but those types of deals will come up occasionally, and I got lucky. Now, Yankees - Brewers is a different animal altogether, good luck regardless. Pro Tips for Visiting Fenway Park in Boston There are likely dozens of similar sites out there. Enjoy the city and your stay! Jim
