Here's your final Link Report from Saturday 7/2

For a second consecutive day, large crowds in Nashville, Appleton and Zebulon were treated to exciting victories. For a second consecutive day in Biloxi, not so much. Don't worry, Shuckers fans, we're calling it now, big win coming Sunday. We've got the details on all of Saturday's action, including full recaps on the four rookie complex league games, so let's kick off the festivities this morning. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic For a second consecutive day, large crowds in Nashville, Appleton and Zebulon were treated to exciting victories. For a second consecutive day in Biloxi, not so much. Don't worry, Shuckers fans, we're calling it now, big win coming Sunday. We've got the details on all of Saturday's action, including full recaps on the four rookie complex league games, so let's kick off the festivities this morning. Transactions: RHP Trevor Kelley optioned to Nashville. With the Brewers about to head back to Milwaukee, it's likely Kelley will actually return to the Sounds this time, rather than begin another taxi squad stint. We'll see. Catcher Brent Diaz was assigned to Nashville from Biloxi. This isn't the 26-year-old's first visit to AAA, as Diaz began the 2021 season with Nashville, but saw action in only two games before heading to Biloxi for the first time. In 31 AA games with the Shuckers this season, Diaz has a fine .262/.350/.495 line with six home runs. *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 10, Indianapolis (Pirates) 8 Box Score / Game Log 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: Singleton's Blast Lifts Sounds Past Indians - Sounds erase early five-run deficit, go-ahead with Singleton’s two-run homer in 8th It's more than just the outstanding 46-30 record. This Nashville team is consistently entertaining and simply put, fun to follow. Sounds management (as is Brewers brass) must be gleeful over the re-establishment of this relationship. Perhaps the best gift given to Manager Rick Sweet this season was the mid-May bump of 5'9" 30-year-old LHP Andy Otero from Biloxi. Otero's effective long relief stints have saved Sweet's bullpen load on basically each of his ten appearances thus far. In Saturday's case, it led to a win, as you just read in the summary. Following the Sounds-related Twitter feeds Saturday was like following an orchestral crescendo, fitting for the holiday. Allow eight second inning runs? No problem, let's tend to business at hand. Kudos, Otero, Zack Brown and Peter Strzelecki. What a bullpen masterpiece. Nashville rests Abraham Almonte (being careful with his status), Mark Mathias and Corey Ray yet recovers for the win. Keep this in mind as we visit Biloxi's roster shortly. One potentially important note to follow - the above-mentioned Brent Diaz pinch-hit for Mario Feliciano in the bottom of the 4th, still a close game at the time, Sounds down 8-7. Voice of the Sounds Jeff Hem had no immediate info as I reviewed the MiLB.TV archive, though he may have passed along information later in the broadcast. Newcomer Patrick Dorrian -- Behold the flip - *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes via the Shuckers' Virtual Press Box Final: Mississippi (Braves) 18, Biloxi 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: Early Runs Lead To M-Braves Blitz of Biloxi - Devanney Hits 10th Homer of Season for Shuckers Plain and simple, RHP Noah Zavolas took one for the team's sake here. No need to detail the carnage, the links are above. The Harvard product will need to work his way past this one. Infield defensive specialist Yeison Coca started in center field, just the third outfield appearance of his career, all this season with Biloxi. Why? Well... With Brent Diaz gone, the Shuckers bench to begin the game consisted of young OF Terrence Doston and backup catcher Jason Lopez as the nationwide hiring dilemma extends to Biloxi. Doston would come in for Joey Wiemer, but Voice of the Shuckers Garrett Greene put any injury concerns about that to bed. Speaking of bed, Joey's trying to wake up his bat - love the playful attitude, it'll happen, Joey. There was a bright spot as Cam reached double-digits in home runs for the first time -- *** Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes via their all-encompassing Virtual Press Box Final: Wisconsin 7, Cedar Rapids (Twins) 6 Box Score / Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers' site, game details, please review: Timber Rattlers Take a Thriller from Kernels - Wisconsin record eighth walkoff win of the season with a 7-6 victory in eleven innings The T-Rats are 7-1 to begin the second half! Gotta be riding in first place, right? Not so fast, say the 8-0 South Bend Cubs. Really? Guess where Wisconsin travels to Monday! No home runs or triples for either side, but this contest pretty much had everything else, as Chris Mehring's write-up which included plenty of words (good ones!), video clips, and full-game video highlights details for you. If that doesn't entice you to click above on a game summary, nothing ever will... Sure, one double was a gift, but 2021 33rd overall pick Tyler Black is the real deal. This was start #13 in CF by the way, one error and one assist in those games. Hopefully this will be a huge confidence builder for 6'8" LHP Russell Smith, what a performance. Taken exactly twenty picks after Black, this was Smith's second start after a 19-day break (injury or reset, unknown), and clearly his best performance in this, the TCU product's first season of action. *** Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Carolina 4, Fayetteville (Astros) 3 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats' site, details, please review: Mendez Homers and Collects Four Hits in 4-3 Victory - The Mudcats won their third straight with a crowd of 5,582 on hand in Zebulon As good a place as any to remind you to at least occasionally dig into the various Media Notes that we link to, even if at minimum the first page of each. We know we provide a ton of information within each report, and you only have so much time each day to dedicate to consuming as much as possible (and we appreciate it!), but yeah, do yourselves a favor and take that bit of advice. I'm on board with Victor, how much of a blast (literally!) is playing in front of 5,582 in Zebulon for these kids. Maryvale's attendance? Not quite. Did anybody else think like me within the hiring and service industry quagmire we're all facing, how were the Mudcats able to have enough help in place to service such a massive short-term bump in attendance? Since Mark Attanasio owns Carolina, was he behind the grill? Was David Stearns tossing peanuts? RF/CF Hendry Mendez posted an .879 OPS in 40 games as a 17-year-old in 2021. The sledding has been tougher in 64 2022 games, but Mendez raised his OPS 37 points to .665 in this one evening. What whip in this particular swing! MLB Pipeline is watching -- Admit it, you immediately overlayed this into the Milwaukee big-league dugout. *** Final: ACL Brewers Blue 4, ACL Brewers Gold 3, eight innings (scheduled for seven) Box Score / Game Log The Golden boys tied things up in the top of the final scheduled frame on catcher Jason Ollarve's two-run home run pulled to right. Ollarve only turned 18 in May, this is his second season (first stateside), and a big moment for his first professional home run. Loving all the LH-swinging catchers infused in the system. Blue then went down in order, sending the game to extra's and zombie/ghost runner territory. Bouncing back from surrendering the lead, Blue RHP Samuel Dario dominated the 8th, getting three consecutive swinging strike three's. Blue's victory came via K - intentional walk - wild pitch (runners now on 1st and 3rd) - pop out - stolen base - another intentional walk - and finally a traditional walk to end things. A bit of over-managing it seems. Three Gold batters were HBP, and one Blue batter plunked. One of those plunkees, Gold infielder Jose Caballero (playing second base Saturday), with a .366/.481/.415 line through 13 games, had to be lifted immediately. Hate to see that, especially in what is in effect, an intrasquad game. Caballero had stolen his 4th base of the season (in as many attempts) earlier in the game. Thirty-two K's in the game vs. four walks. Pitching coaches were pleased, anyway. The two most impressive pitching performances were from a couple of 24-year-olds who got late starts in affiliated ball - recent independent league signee RHP Ryan Middendorf who has been nearly perfect in his five appearances (0.55 WHIP, 0.00 ERA), and second-year Dominican signing LHP Leoni De La Cruz. As is the norm in the desert, both teams will enjoy Sunday off. *** Final: DSL Phillies Red 14, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 9 Box Score / Game Log A six-run 3rd inning saw the home team Brewers up 8-3 at that point. I'll help you with the math, it was 11-1 Phillies over the final six innings. Only one of six Uno pitchers represented well, and that was 16-year-old (17 in August) Mexican native Manuel Rodriguez. Rodriguez got two outs to strand an inherited runner upon entering in the 5th, then added two scoreless innings. Well, well, bonus baby Jhonny Severino, lookee here, 4-for-5 with a double. In his last four games, Severino is 12-for-18 with four doubles, a triple and a home run (two K's). So much for his slow start. He did commit an error at shortstop, his 11th overall on the season, his 6th while playing short (11 games there). Catcher Ludwin Tejada only turned 17 years old in May. Playing in his 7th pro game, Tejada singled four times and is now 8-for-19 (two walks, only two K's). Tejada is another LH-swinging catcher, as the Crew seems to have their fair share in the lowest levels of the chain, nice. Second baseman Angel Pereira exited the game after he grounded out in the bottom of the 7th. Simply noting this should his absence end up as extended. *** Final: DSL Tigers #1 Squad 6, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 4, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log Crew #2 led 4-3 after four, but a three-run Tiger 6th sealed the deal for the home club. It's just become a part of the box score perusal routine. Which position players left the game and if possible, determine why. Rookie infielder (played second base Saturday) Demetrio Nadal is celebrating his 18th birthday today, but hopefully he's not nursing a major injury. Nadal was hit by a pitch in the 2nd, and though he initially remained in the game, left to begin the 4th. Nadal's substitute, 16-year-old Donis Rodriguez, stole two bases after entering, though he also was picked off once. All six of the youngster's hits are singles thus far, though he's already stolen seven bases in eight attempts and has a .171/.383/.171 line after just 35 at-bats (nine walks, ten K's). Oh, the uniqueness we can find in those young teenage numbers. Like their Arizona counterparts, Sunday is Funday on the island. Wear your sunscreen! *** The only matinee on Sunday is in Appleton, as fireworks continue to be the star with a rare trio of Sunday evening games on tap. Reminder that due to the holiday, the four full-season affiliates will indeed play on Monday evening the 4th and enjoy Tuesday off instead. Not only that, but all four teams leave their comfy confines and hit the road for quick turnarounds. Travel safe, both our readers and all the teams!

Here's your final Link Report from Friday 7/1

Sounds win big, Timber Rattlers score big early and hang on. Mudcats win behind a big mound performance by an exciting 19-year-old. Shuckers look forward to bigger things Saturday.

Transaction: RH reliever Trevor Kelley was recalled to Milwaukee from Nashville - Kelley had spent the past several days with the big-league Brewers as a member of their taxi squad after his June 28th option. Perhaps you heard Craig Counsell discuss the complexities and balancing act of the taxi squad on his Friday WTMJ pre-game interview, how to keep players ready for action when clearly, they can't get into formal games. Counsell only foresees the taxi squad existing purely for Covid-related reasons. *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 13, Indianapolis (Pirates) 4 Box Score / Game Log 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 Even Series With Two Big Innings - Ethan Small logs second consecutive quality start, earns fifth win of the year There were some striking similarities between this game and the blowout 19-2 thumping by Milwaukee Friday night over Indianapolis' parent club. The Brewers put together eight- and seven-run frames, while the Sounds twice plated five in an inning (and added a three-spot for good measure). Both clubs had their aces on the mound (Corbin Burnes, Ethan Small ). After a stretch of four starts in which he walked four, one, five and four batters, never going more than 4.2 innings, Small has back-to-back starts with one base on balls over 13 innings. Small fanned ten on June 25th, and just one Friday night. Do you see an enigma - a mystery wrapped in a riddle? Have to love those recent efforts, though! Congrats to 26-year-old RH reliever Luis Contreras on his one-inning scoreless AAA debut, though he loaded the bases with one out before working out of his jam. Easier to catch foul pop-ups with a catcher's mitt? Pedro Severino was charged with an error on a dropped foul fly while playing first base. going to be fascinating what happens there. Speaking of a mystery wrapped in a riddle, going to be fascinating what happens there. Mystery #3 - what happened to Pablo Reyes mid-game? I try to make sense of it here. Brice Turang was on base three times, but do you know what else? All 25 of Turang's hits in June were singles. In May, just three of 27 hits went for extra bases. Turang batted .260 (OBP .295) and .263 (OBP .327) respectively those months. Naturally, his lone base hit Friday was indeed a single. Meanwhile, Abraham Almonte has no such issue with XBH's. He's slugging .529. *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes via the Shuckers' Virtual Press Box Final: Mississippi (Braves) 4, Biloxi 0 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: Shuckers Shut Out By M-Braves - Knarr Turns in Quality Outing in Loss If you want playing time in the Brewers organization, Biloxi is where you want to be. With Sal Frelick (apparent hamstring) and Gabe Holt (unknown injury) sidelined but not on the injured list, the only two current bench players are the backup catchers, Nick Kahle and Jason Lopez. Fun for 21-year-old CF Terence Doston to be in the mix, but for someone who has yet to even see Carolina or Wisconsin, is this best for his development curve? Surely, we thought Doston's May 19th Biloxi placement was a temporary emergency assignment. Only one misfire in five starts at the AA level for LHP Brandon Knarr, he's so solid. It's a darn shame he'll always go down as "undrafted", when clearly that was only due to the 2020 five-round draft. When he hits MLB, that won't matter. If you're a subscriber, you'll read that The Athletic's Will Sammon ended up including Knarr (along with OF Joe Gray, Jr. and RHP T.J. Shook) in his proposed Andrew Benintendi trade package with his Royals' beat writer accomplice. Sammon did also hint that Milwaukee would like one additional piece, like a controllable reliever, in that deal. You know, I won't, but I could vent as to how we still don't know why OF Garrett Mitchell hasn't played since May 13th (Bally Sports had indicated an oblique injury weeks ago, but they don't include that note in their weekly prospect roundup any longer), Wait, too late on the venting... *** Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes via their all-encompassing Virtual Press Box Final: Wisconsin 12, Cedar Rapids (Twins) 9 Box Score / Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers' site, game details, please review: McGee Drives in Six and Miller Drives in Five for 12-9 Wisconsin Win - Timber Rattlers score eight runs in first inning and built 12-2 lead First of all, the latest Timber Rattlers jersey auction (Military Appreciation) ends Sunday, and I love the fact that big leaguer Alex Hall 's jersey is currently the highest bid-upon. I know it was included in the detailed game summary you just read (you did, right? No? I'll wait...), but the video below is mandatory viewing, if for nothing else that Ashton McGee' s huge night was awesome, yet the most entertaining moment was his face-plant/stumble trying to stretch his gapper to a triple. And do yourself a favor whenever Chris Mehring and Kyle Lobner make their Postgame Podcast available and find time for the approx. 20-minute listen. What to make of this performance by LHP Antoine Kelly ? Bizarre comes to mind. Kudos to the Cedar Rapids squad, not a single Timber Rattler was hit by a pitch after half-a-dozen Kernels were plunked in the game. Thankfully no one had to exit after their HBP. And hopefully no retaliation after a night of caring to the bruises. Awesome to have the April version of catcher Darrien Miller back, after his May slump and injury time off. Miller's OPS was .911 in the first month. Didn't bring Doug Melvin and Gord Ash to Appleton? Missed photo opp. By the way, yeah, that game was wild in that it came down to the end like that. Goodness. *** Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes (unavailable) Final: Carolina 5, Fayetteville (Astros) 2 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats' site, details, please review: Cruz Cruises as Mudcats Win Second Straight 5-2 - Stiven Cruz totaled a career-high six innings and struck out five in his scoreless outing Stiven Cruz another early success story. Just 20 years old out of Nicaragua, dominant in 2021 during his rookie season in the Dominican Summer League, the Brewers saw him in extended spring in Maryvale and on May 12th decided that - "no, you don't need Arizona Complex League action". Six weeks later with Carolina, Cruz has barely more walks (ten) than starts (nine). Talk about wishing our lives away, but I bet many of us can't wait to see the fruits of these lower-levels and what we're talking about in three or four years. Consider this - it's been nine games without a multi-hit effort by Jackson Chourio (double in this one), yet his OPS still sits at .938. *** Final: ACL White Sox 4, ACL Brewers Blue 2 Box Score / Game Log One bad inning, a four-run 2nd, hurt 19-year-old 2nd year Dominican RHP Arielbi Gonzalez and the club, despite five stellar innings of relief work by three of Gonzalez' teammates. Monster game for 2021 14th round pick Jace Avina - a triple shy of a cycle, but with four hits (two singles), so even better than your standard "triple shy of the cycle" comment. The recently turned 19-year-old out of a Nevada high school did not see formal action last summer. This is probably a good time to link to the scouting reports on Avina we had available on draft day 2021. So yes, add another center field prospect into the mix, .993 OPS through his first 61 AB's. Tough to win when RISP shows 0-for-7. *** Final: ACL Brewers Gold 4, ACL D-Backs Black 3, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log Second baseman Gregory Barrios scored the go-ahead run in the top of the final frame when he doubled with two out, and later crossed the plate on a wild pitch. Brewers name Minor League Players and Pitchers of the Month for June Castillo and Quero Earn Players of the Month; Jarvis and Robinson Named Pitchers of the Month Congrats to all, and 18-year-old corner outfielder Luis Castillo (DH'ing here) kicked off July in style with a two-run shot pulled to right field in the 6th. Looking forward to eventual video from Brewers Player Development on Luis (1.109 OPS through 65 at-bats -- .629 OPS in 139 at-bats in the DSL in 2021). Sweet! *** Final: DSL Texas Blue 8, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 7, eleven innings Box Score / Game Log Via @damuelle, from our daily as-it-happens discussion thread on the Minor League Forum: I love the DSL Brewers2 squad giving us a reminder that they're essentially high schoolers, so expect bizarre outcomes from time to time: No hit through six innings and trailed 3-0 Scored five runs on one hit in the 7th inning for a 5-3 lead Scored two runs in the 11th inning to re-take the lead at 7-5. They still had only one hit in the entire game at this point, but then collected a 2nd (meaningless) hit later that same inning Lost 8-7 in the bottom of the 11th. Outhit 10-2 in the game, but collected eight walks and three HBPs *** Postponed: DSL Tigers Blue at DSL Brewers 1 *** All evening action at the full-season affiliate home parks Saturday, while the DSL kids wrap up their week of play and the two Maryvale teams square off in morning action.
