There are seven scheduled games remaining in the first-half seasons for the Brewers' three full-season clubs below the AAA level. Second-place Biloxi (27-30) won on Wednesday but remains on the very fringe of the have-hope world, standing 4.5 games back, six in the loss column. Second-place Wisconsin, despite a fine 34-24 record, dropped a game further back, and now is 3.5 games from the top spot. Carolina has been fortunate to be in a very balanced division with the top six teams all within three games of .500. The Mudcats (30-29) have caromed on a now five-game skid at the worst possible time, and sit in second place, albeit just one game out. AAA Nashville's playoff fortunes are based on their full-season exploits, but the Sounds' stellar 37-24 mark gives them only a 1.5 game lead over both the Guardians' and Cardinals' clubs. Time to examine Wednesday's 2-2 mark on the farm.

Time to examine Wednesday's 2-2 mark on the farm. Transactions: - RHP Justin Bullock activated from AA Biloxi's 7-day injured list - RHP Luis Contreras activated from AA Biloxi's 7-day injured list - RHP Trevor Tietz assigned to ACL Brewers Gold from ACL Brewers Blue - LHP Angel Perdomo transferred to AAA Nashville's 60-day injured list - LHP Clayton Andrews transferred to AAA Nashville's 60-day injured list The Brewers never did release specific injury information on Perdomo and Andrews, and given Perdomo's 40-man roster status, you'd think that we'd know more at this point. Should the Brewers be in a pinch for a 40-man roster spot, they could call Perdomo up to the big-league roster and place him on the 60-day IL, at which point Perdomo would be paid the pro-rated major league minimum. *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 8, Memphis (Cardinals) 4, ten innings 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 Outlast Redbirds in Extra Innings Lots of juicy details in that just-linked report. Unfortunately, not much in the way of juicy visuals for this road game. However, after reading about it, we're all curious to see the 8th-inning inside-the-park moment for the bad guys and burly Alec Burleson off a Lucas Erceg fastball - The game was in-effect a "winner is in first place" contest, so nice to see the Sounds reign supreme at the end of the evening. Doesn't it feel as though Brice Turang's OPS should be higher than .685? On base four times here, his line sits at .275/.324/.361. Josh Lindblom's $2.75 million salary for 2022 is a sunk cost for the Brewers, still no indication he's on the cusp of being re-added to the 40-man and 26-man rosters. After a three-start rough patch, this was an excellent showing, and on his 35th birthday to boot. Big, big Garrett Whitley home run leading off the 9th, clearly. *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes via the Shuckers' Virtual Press Box Final: Biloxi 5, Chattanooga (Reds) 2 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: Pitching Dominates In Shuckers 5-2 Win Over Chattanooga In Wednesday Matinee - Devanney Homer Seals Biloxi Win The Biloxi staff plucked three video clips from the Chattanooga feed and they are included below (remember, all four full-season affiliates are on the road this week). I admit I was taken aback by the calls from the Voice of the Lookouts, so looked him up (pun intended). Larry Ward, the Lookouts' veteran voice - Chattanooga icon is longest-tenured Double-A broadcaster Respect for the distinguished long career, but those calls, whether featuring the opponent's success or not, would not sustain me for a full season. We're pretty blessed with our affiliate voices. Sal Frelick, Jakson Reetz and Gabe Holt enjoyed the midday affair resting in the dugout. Joey Wiemer has spoiled us, he's just 7-for-31 in June with ten K's (.701 OPS), and we need to remember he missed a week with a hand injury. His teammates picked up the slack here. The Biloxi bullpen has thankfully righted the ship in recent days. Their collective efforts for much of this season pretty much dashed first-half title hopes, though the Wednesday appearances by RHP's Robbie Hitt and Zach Vennaro were representative of their own solid work throughout 2022. *** Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes via their all-encompassing Virtual Press Box Final: Great Lakes (Dodgers) 5, Wisconsin 0 Box Score / Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers' site, game details, please review: Wisconsin Held to One Hit in 5-0 Loss - Great Lakes pitchers strike out sixteen to beat the Rattlers This is going to sound like the old-man, Link Report vet (guilty on both descriptions), but it used to be we'd see a 16-strikeout game, on either side of the ledger, and it'd merit multiple paragraphs on just the uniqueness of the performance. Now, we just are immune to it - "oh, 16 strikeouts". Incredible in some ways how pitching has evolved and several years into this cycle now, batters haven't been able to overcome performances and/or philosophies at the plate. Now, we link to this info at the very bottom of each report you read, perhaps you've taken advantage. But when you sort the strikeout column on the batting side, you'll see all four Brewers affiliates are smack-dab in the middle of their respective leagues. From a pitching perspective, the four staffs don't fare as well, not fanning as many as most of the staffs, but they're not buried at the very bottom of the rankings, either. So overall, in the perspective of the game at this time in this regard, despite the K numbers being jarring at times, Milwaukee affiliates are pretty representative of the sport, not shining, and hardly a disaster. Sortable league stat pages (hitting / pitching): Nashville Biloxi Wisconsin Carolina Coming up on two weeks since catcher Darrien Miller exited a game on June 3rd, yet to return to game action. *** Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Columbia (Royals) 2, Carolina 1 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats' site, details, please review: Quero Homers as Mudcats Drop Fifth Straight - Israel Puello and Edwin Jimenez held the Fireflies to just four hits in the tough luck loss The Kansas City affiliate was just 16-41 entering this series, and the Mudcats have dropped the first two games. Opposite of good. Let's remind ourselves this is Jeferson Quero's age-19 season. His 1st inning error (6th of the season) didn't help but was offset by the blast above. Quero's .690 OPS is just fine given his age and the responsibility shouldered upon him for his first taste of full-season ball. I continue to look at this ultra-young Carolina roster and sense that several players would absolutely blossom and crush if given the chance to spend the first half of 2023 back in Carolina. But given the sheer roster numbers, I fear some may open with a similarly young-for-league team in Appleton to begin 2023, not sure if that'll be the best development path. Regardless, like Carolina staff this year, Timber Rattler employees had best brush up on their Spanish in preparation for the wave coming next season. (Yes, of course, hosting Latin players would not be completely new for the Wisconsin organization). My co-worker Daniel noted in our Minor League Forum's daily thread on the Mudcats woes in this game: 2-on, nobody out 1st inning - didn’t score Bases loaded, nobody out 7th inning - didn’t score 2-on, nobody out 9th inning - didn’t score Wow, I thought the shade of 2022 big-league Brewers yellow was bright, but those Columbia uniforms are LIT, and living up their Fireflies name. *** We are back to all-evening action Thursday for the full-season teams, and the rookie complex teams are back in action. I hope to at least assist Daniel with the Dominican recaps while he brings insights from the other six games to you. Until Friday morning then, take care and be safe on your Thirsty Thursday.

Here's your final Link Report from Tuesday 6/14

NOTE: @damuelle will be incorporating these two games along with his six into the Minor League Report for Tuesday's schedule. Final: DSL Phillies White 7, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 1 Box Score / Game Log The #1 Team, now with a 1-6 record, is not living up to its "#1" moniker, managing only two hits in this game. They actually led 1-0 on an RBI double from 18-year-old RF Duncan Garcia, but even that run was unearned due to a Phillie error. Then, after the double, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, a pop out and ground out ended the inning. 17-year-old 6'3" switch-hitting SS/3B Jhonny Severino ($1.23 million out of the Dominican Republic) is off to a mixed start, 4-for-19, .211/.423/.211, six walks, ten K's. He was the designated hitter in this one. The four Brewers arms combined to walk eight, with each contributing to that total. No debuts, with some "2nd professional outings" here. Final: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 5, DSL Tigers #1 Squad 4 Box Score / Game Log DSL Crew #2 upped their record to 3-4 with this walk-off win. OK, so it was a balk-off win, but the young men still bounced joyfully into the afternoon. Down 4-3 entering the bottom of the 9th, a leadoff walk by 8th place hitter 17-year-old Venezuelan first baseman Edgardo Reyes was followed by a line drive RBI double from 18-year-old Panamanian OF Irving Igualas who was the DH for this game. That was Igualas' second double Tuesday. After a groundout and intentional walk, the balk by the Tigers pitcher ended things, Did we mention the Brewers were successful on all seven stolen base attempts? 17-year-old switch-hitting Dominican CF Reminton Batista swiped three and is now 5-for-6 in attempts. Speaking of seven, did we mention the Brewers won despite committing seven errors? Rough day for the $1.385 million top-bonus prospect Johan Barrios, the 6'3" Venezuelan native who has thus far split time between shortstop and third base. Four errors in this game while manning the hot corner, three fielding, one throwing, all by the end of the 4th inning. He was lifted after the 5th inning. Overall, Barrios has committed eight errors in seven games, the other four coming while at shortstop. Give it time. Two singles for 18-year-old 2nd year LF Yeison Perez, and the Venezuelan saw his OPS actually fall to 1.336, that's how hot he's been with five of his previous six hits going for extra bases. None of the four runs Crew pitchers allowed were earned, as one might imagine. A combined nine strikeouts vs. two walks for the trio.

Here's your final Link Report from Sunday 6/12

Sure, like the full-season affiliate teams, your intrepid BrewerFanatic daily Minor League reporters enjoy a Monday off. But given the recent starts of the Maryvale and Dominican Complex League seasons, we will saddle up and continue to seek out the backstories and unique stat lines to point out to our faithful legion of farmhand diehards, After all, last year Jackson Chourio was very good (.833 OPS as a 17-year-old in the DSL), but did that truly forecast 2022's amazing run so far? Luis Lara, anyone? Hopefully we're about to enjoy a similar run with the latest center field high-bonus phenom to grab our attention.

But given the recent starts of the Maryvale and Dominican Complex League seasons, we will saddle up and continue to seek out the backstories and unique stat lines to point out to our faithful legion of farmhand diehards, After all, last year Jackson Chourio was very good (.833 OPS as a 17-year-old in the DSL), but did that truly forecast 2022's amazing run so far? Luis Lara, anyone? Hopefully we're about to enjoy a similar run with the latest center field high-bonus phenom to grab our attention. Final: ACL Brewers Gold 9, ACL Cubs 7, ten innings Box Score / Game Log Each team scored in four of the first seven innings, tied at six at that point. Then both the Brewers (19-year-old Venezuelan RHP Yorman Galindez, in just his third pro appearance) and the Cubs saw scoreless ball pitched in the 8th and 9th. Galindez stranded two inherited runners in the 7th and retired all eight men he faced overall with six K's, that's mound game MVP work there. Galindez signed for only $10,000 in January, yet the Brewers saw enough to have the young man bypass the Dominican Summer League. Crazy-hot 19-year-old 2nd-year Venezuelan second baseman Jose Caballero reached for the 4th time in the contest by doubling in the ghost runner to open the 10th inning. Listed at 140 pounds when he signed in July 2019, surely filled out nearly three years later, Caballero is 7-for-13 with three walks and just one K through four games. LF Diego Larez, another 19-year-old 2nd-year Venezuelan, followed with a single to move Caballero to third base. It too, was Larez' 4th time on base, including a home run (hit three in 123 AB's in the DSL last summer). A sacrifice fly and single subsequently gave the Golden Boys a three-run inning and enough to hold on for the win. Earlier in the game 2nd-year Venezuelan catcher Blayberg Diaz cracked a HR, his 5th career blast in 128 at-bats. Castillo doubled twice and drove in three Monday, building on last week's torrid run. OPS now 1.477 through six games. First baseman Jesus Parra was hit by a pitch in the 9th and was immediately lifted for a pinch-runner. Hopefully just a precaution, Parra another member of this squad off to a nice start (1.065 OPS). The four Brewer pitchers walked four and struck out 17. *** Final: ACL Guardians 6, ACL Brewers Blue 4 Box Score / Game Log First thing to catch my eye was that 19-year-old first-year-stateside RHP Junior Castillo walked four, hit two batters and balked while pitching the 8th and 9th innings, yet gave up just one run - the game log tells the Houdini tale should you choose to click thusly. Three Men in Blue reached base twice, but otherwise the box score here is rather non-descript. Sprinkled among the otherwise international lineup, the two high school 2021 draft picks, CF Jace Avina and 1B Quinton Low (14th and 13th rounds, respectively) combined to go 0-for-8 with six K's. When you review the ACL Blue and ACL Gold rosters, you'll see a total of just five active U.S.-born players. At least until after this summer's 2022 amateur draft, the Maryvale teams are truly extensions of the Dominican Summer League rosters. *** Final: DSL Phillies Red 4, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 3 Box Score / Game Log Down 4-2 entering the bottom of the 9th, the Crew boys loaded the bases with one out but only brought a single run home on a Luis Lara sacrifice fly. Lara, the 17-year-old switch-hitting center fielder out of Venezuela, justifying his $1,100,000 signing bonus thus far, also smacked his first pro home run, doubled, and stole a base, his 3rd in six games. As we continue our theme of monster OPS marks in the early going, Lara sits at 1.224. Lara will play all season at 17. He was picked off second base, so a learning moment there. Only two earned runs allowed over the combined nine innings from rookie 19-year-old Venezuela native Kevin Briceno and 18-year-old Dominican RHP Jesael Cabrera as each followed up solid debut efforts during their second times out here. We'll see if these two continue to be paired with each other during these early weeks of play. Each walked just one while fanning three. *** Final: DSL Twins 7, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 6, game scheduled for seven innings Box Score / Game Log The Duece Team managed only four hits overall but scored four runs in the top of the 7th to inch close. Not close enough though, stranding the tying run on first base to end it. Those four runs answered the four-spot the Twins put up in the bottom of the 6th vs. 21-year-old Dominican RHP Roman Perez in the 2nd pro outing for the signed later-than-usual international player. 18-year-old LF/1B (1B on Monday) Yeison Perez clubbed his 3rd home run on the very young season, prompting this post from @Smichaelis9 in our Minor League Forum discussion thread that includes video from Perez' debut 2021 season. If you check out the 5th inning game log, it seemed an odd time and sequence for right fielder Jose Gonzalez to be lifted for a pinch-runner, though he did represent the tying run in a game scheduled for seven-innings. 85 degrees and a one-MPH "breeze". Told you on Day One, bank on it. View full article

Here's your final Link Report from Saturday 6/11

We once again turn to the Crew's farm to distract us from big league woes. It will be nice when that's no longer the sentiment of our opening line here. Our latest turn around seven box scores (not eight, as the Maryvale youngsters faced each other) includes a surprise contributor on the Sounds' mound, Wes Clarke and his pals keeping the T-Rats in the first-half playoff discussion, and more pro and stateside debuts at the rookie level. Here we go! Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic We once again turn to the Crew's farm to distract us from big league woes. It will be nice when that's no longer the sentiment of our opening line here. Our latest turn around seven box scores (not eight, as the Maryvale youngsters faced each other) includes a surprise contributor on the Sounds' mound, Wes Clarke and his pals keeping the T-Rats in the first-half playoff discussion, and more pro and stateside debuts at the rookie level. Here we go! Transactions: - LHP Pablo Garabitos assigned to AAA Nashville from Low-A Carolina - INF Mark Mathias recalled by MLB Brewers from AAA Nashville - RHP Peter Strzelecki recalled by MLB Brewers from AAA Nashville - RHP Luke Barker optioned to AAA Nashville by MLB Brewers - RHP Phili Silverio assigned to ACL Brewers Blue from ACL Brewers Gold Much more on Pablo Garabitos detailed below. *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 4, Norfolk (Orioles) 2 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 Take Second Straight From Tides - Brian Navarreto Cracks Three Hits, Throws Out Two Runners in Nashville’s 4-2 Win The Sounds are 36-22, credit to them for placing victories in so many of our reports in 2022. Game of the year for backup catcher (at times, deep backup catcher) Brian Navarreto, both at the plate and behind it. Ok, so we really have to talk about this call-up of and performance by 21-year-old LHP Pablo Garabitos. the Brewers 25th round pick out of a Florida high school in 2018. First of all, when you click on his MiLB Player Page, by default you get Garabitos' batting numbers, 74 at-bats in his rookie Maryvale season, when he did not pitch but played outfield. MiLB Administration needs to flip a switch in these situations - I used to have a contact in their office who would do so upon my request - this has happened before. I'll see if I can look him up, it's been awhile. When we do flip to Garabitos' MiLB Pitching Player Page, you'll find he last pitched for the Mudcats back on May 24th. We don't know all the how's and why's that this particular call-up came about (no doubt partly related to losing Peter Strzelecki to Milwaukee), but Garabitos, as you read in the game report, was much more than just a token fill-in here. He was needed and came through with his three-inning effort. Hoping he's with Nashville long enough for Voice of the Sounds Jeff Hem to grab him for a pre-game interview. These stories add to the allure of minor league baseball. *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes via the Shuckers' Virtual Press Box Final: Tennessee (Cubs) 5, Biloxi 3 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: Pair Of Innings Too Much For Shuckers To Overcome Against Smokies - Biloxi Bullpen Tosses Three Scoreless Frames Not sure how non-descript the contest was, or if it was just a light staffing night among the video folks in Biloxi, but the lone video highlight tweeted was a Tennesse triple that became a failed inside-the-park attempt in the 8th. It sure was nice work - check out how much running CF Sal Frelick has to do on this play, and although we don't see the origin of the relay given the camera angle, Cam Devanney's throw was perfect. Plus Voice of the Shuckers Garrett Greene's call was on the money. Frelick's last three games - 7-for-15, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K LHP Nick Bennett's final line wasn't the prettiest, but his six innings were huge. To be honest, at most of the affiliate outposts, the staffs aren't prepared for the next blow-up one-or-two inning start. Length is critical these days given mid-season attrition. *** Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes via their all-encompassing Virtual Press Box Final: Wisconsin 12, Beloit (Marlins) 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers' site, game details, please review: Clarke and the Rattlers Get a Grand Win in Beloit - Wes Clarke homers twice and drives in six for Wisconsin in 12-4 win over Sky Carp Chris Mehring's write-up linked above includes the Wes Clarke video we all need with our coffee today, too bad it was a road game minus Chris' "Slam Town" call. Personally thanking Chris this morning, as the fantastic detail he provides on the many happenings in the later innings of this game saves me many keystrokes needed to detail the rookie complex games below. Tyler Black made his 7th start in center field, and I love the notion that if you have a plus-bat and are athletic, the Brewers are going to get you reps in center field. Let's hope that position is never a black hole at the big-league level for the next 15 years given the multiple potential options on the horizon, coming in waves. Black and Tristan Peters (.861 and .876 OPS, respectively) are so darn critical to this lineup. Thank you, Brewer front office, for a nice trade add, in infielder Jose Acosta, .942 OPS in six games with Wisconsin. Justin Jarvis' April is but a very dim memory. My goodness, young man, nine K's and zero walks here. Cam Robinson, thank you again. Three games back (owning the tiebreaker) with ten games to go, though they don't play first-place Cedar Rapids again in the first-half. Let's do this (with a bit of help, please). *** Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Myrtle Beach (Cubs) 5, Carolina 0 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats' site, details, please review: Mudcats Held to Four Hits in 5-0 Loss - Alexander Cornielle allowed just two run over five innings in a tough luck loss As Voice of the Mudcats Greg Young Jr. noted, all four hits were singles. Sometimes you have to just let a simple box like this stand on its own. I will note that Carolina as presently constructed begins each game with two position players on their bench, one a backup catcher. Not sure why I find moving the chess-pieces so fascinating, it must be that many of us who dive deep into these daily reports would love to fancy ourselves manipulating said pieces. *** Final: ACL Brewers Gold 9, ACL Brewers Blue 7, scheduled for seven innings Box Score / Game Log Clearly a lot to dive into during what becomes an intrasquad game with official stat implications. Blue broke through first in the bottom of the 3rd as second baseman Daniel Guilarte drove in two with a bases-loaded ground-rule double, and a third run scored after a walk reloaded the bases, followed by a passed ball. But with runners on 2nd and 3rd and still no outs, the inning collapsed. That allowed Gold to tie things up with a three-run top of the 5th. 19-year-old RHP Jose Chavez, a 2nd-year pro out of Venezuela, was brought in to start the inning and walked all three men he faced. 20-year-old 2nd-year Dominican RHP Phili Silverio, who, as noted in the Transactions above, switched dugouts prior to the game, saw all three inherited runners score - wild pitch, RBI single, RBI groundout. There are probably stats available as to inherited runner difficulty, as bases loaded no outs tops that chart. Silverio remained in the game to begin what would become a six-run Gold 6th inning which included three Silverio walks (not in succession) and yes, a ground-rule double. Hard warning tracks in Maryvale, apparently. Team Gold would plate two runs each in the 6th and 7th to make the final score reasonable. Of the 19 hits combined, you'll see seven doubles in the box. Only one error between the two teams, always a plus for the coaching staffs. 19-year-old Venezuelan third baseman Jose Caballero, back in Maryvale after a 2021 .630 OPS debut, was on base all four times up. 18-year-old Dominican RF Luis Castillo is finding the transition stateside after five games just fine, as his early 1.550 OPS attests. Stateside debuts for the two starting hurlers, Dominican natives and RHP's Henrison Mota, 18 and Arielbi Gonzalez, 19. For Team Blue, catcher Jhonnys Cabrera made two pitching appearances in 2022, he did here as well, and professional ERA remains 0.00. For Gold, shortstop Carlos Roa switched from designated hitter to relief pitcher to end the game. Hey, it's why we dissect box scores. *** Final: DSL Cardinals 5, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 4 Box Score / Game Log C'mon kids, gotta learn to beat STL clubs from the start. Another picture-perfect 84 degrees, one MPH "breeze". Take us away for this three hours, 35 minutes! Do not confuse 2022 signee CF Luis Lara and his early 1.105 OPS with long-lamented Doug Melvin $3 million bonus baby Gilbert Lara. Also don't confuse Luis Lara with cleanup hitting catcher Darlin Lora. Fourteen K's by Cervecerito batters, though they reached ten times by walk or HBP. Congratulations to 18-year-old 2nd year first baseman Edgardo Ordonez on his first-ever home run. The left-handed swinging Venezuelan native posted an .867 OPS in 84 2021 at-bats. One to watch, it seems. Hailing from Nicaragua, starting RHP Bryan Rivera made his pro debut six days shy of his 17th birthday. When I began Link Reporting in 2001, I did not envision the day I'd be typing "born in 2005" in any game recap. 6'3" RHP Aneuris Rodriguez also pro-debuted, as the Dominican youngster did so three days shy of his 18th birthday. *** Final: DSL Texas Blue 12, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 9 Box Score / Game Log The Crew2 led 7-3 before giving up five in the top of the 7th to trail 8-7. No worries, as here we go again teenage dreamers, 16-year-old Dominican second baseman Juan Baez (turns 17 in two weeks) cracked a line drive two-run home run to left to take the lead back in the bottom of the 8th. Baez is off to a monster small-sample start with a 1.162 OPS in five games. Worries. as 21-year-old RHP Nelson Cuevas, a DSL Brewer since 2019, had a miserable four-run top of the 9th. Professional debut for 17-year-old starting RHP Daniel Corniel, a Venezuelan native. Solid work on his part. Don't confuse him with tonight's Mudcats starter Alexander Cornielle! Also 17 and a Venezuelan, LHP Anthony Flores followed Corniel with lesser results in his maiden pro voyage to the mound. Never forget this day, young men. *** No complex league games today, the norm for a Sunday. The latest start will be Biloxi's 5:05 Central contest, which you can enjoy after the big-league Brewers finally snap their losing skid. Until next time, take care everyone!

Here's your final Link Report from Friday 6/10

Fun happenings before the home folks in Nashville and Biloxi, while at times exasperating moments during losses for the Timber Rattlers and Mudcats. We check in on stateside and pro debuts at the complex levels, where box scores always try and tell a story beyond what we can't see in person. Here we go with your usual slate of eight. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Fun happenings before the home folks in Nashville and Biloxi, while at times exasperating moments during losses for the Timber Rattlers and Mudcats. We check in on stateside and pro debuts at the complex levels, where box scores always try and tell a story beyond what we can't see in person. Here we go with your usual slate of eight. Transaction: INF Alberis Ferrer has been placed on the Carolina 7-Day IL Our forum poster @ARobsBrewCrew did speak with Timber Rattlers OF Carlos Rodriguez, who ended a fantastic month of May with the Midwest League Player of the Week nod. The brief update indicated the right leg surgery (undetermined to us the exact nature) would force Rodriguez to miss the balance of 2022 and could impact the early portion of next season. In his Minor League catch-up article at The Athletic (subscription), Will Sammon indicates Joey Wiemer's week-long absence was a left-hand issue. Shortstop Freddy Zamora's season-ending injury is due to a procedure on his non-throwing shoulder. Will has more details on each, plus other notes (Chourio, Erceg, Castaneda, Knarr), for those who pay up (do yourself a favor). *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 7, Norfolk (Orioles) 0 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 Rise Above the Tides to Snap Skid - Caleb Boushley notches seventh win of the season with six shutout innings First of all, we love a clever game summary headline, kudos! With the complex league games now on our daily report plate, it'll be more important than ever that you devour all that the four full-season affiliate game stories have to offer, in order to get the most out of your daily visit. Each outpost has its unique traits within, for instance, the miscellaneous bullet-points that cap each Nashville report is a nice touch, and always informative. LHP Angel Perdomo went on the 7-day IL way back on April 12th. Thus far, his absence has not been marked as 60-day or season-ending, so that's encouraging. As is often the case in this HIPPA-fearful minor league baseball world, gleaning the specifics of injury status has become more difficult than ever in 2022. Personally, I feel like the media should minimally be able to freely get updates on any player on a 40-man roster, as Perdomo is. We are often guilty of reading a hot AAA stat line and thinking to ourselves, "that guy deserves a chance (or another chance) on the big league roster, let's take advantage while he's hot", when in reality, whether 40-man roster or other factors come into play, it may not be feasible. But my goodness, while we're all painfully suffering the ineffective big league play in center field and a clearly moribund lifeless environment in the dugout, how much energy would this 30-year-old inject? One could make a legitimate argument that Caleb Boushley is this team's MVP, devouring innings and killing any team slides. The Sounds media crew was busy on Twitter Friday night. There were several video highlights posted, you'll find them here. Another sellout. Enjoy this first decade-long AAA affiliate agreement, Brewers (if it makes it to the end), because Nashville is a no-doubter for an MLB expansion team when that time comes. *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes via the Shuckers' Virtual Press Box Final: Biloxi 14, Tennessee (Cubs) 10 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: Valerio's Career Night Spurs Shuckers' Comeback - Biloxi Rallies With Eight Unanswered Runs For 14-10 Victory Yeah, that's 5'8" with cleats on. As a supposed 5'8" guy myself, Valerio's been a favorite of mine. It may end up coinciding with a big-league Brewers retool of their roster in the next few years, but Valerio is going to have a significant everyday-player run in Milwaukee, if not elsewhere via trade. (Don't trade him.) That Biloxi game summary was jammed with videos, as you just saw. Wait, you didn't see them? Click now, see, we're training you! Jakson Reetz is making himself some serious coin, or at least prime opportunity. Dude is earmarked for minor league free agency unless Milwaukee adds him to their 40-man roster by season's end. The suitors will be out the door. Hope your agent is ready, Jakson. The Shuckers are going with a 12-man pitching staff right now. Heck, there have been Brewer affiliates with 12-man bullpens during portions of the season. I have no idea what happened to the Southern League we've gotten to know so well since the Huntsville days, but the pinball offensive shows we're getting every night, win or lose, are fun. *** Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes via their all-encompassing Virtual Press Box Final: Beloit (Marlins) 5, Wisconsin 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers' site, game details, please review: Heartbreak in Beloit - Rattlers let three late leads slip away in 5-4, twelve-inning loss to Sky Carp Brutal. Fantastic write-up by Chris Mehring, but the pain in the wasted opportunities and blown closures makes for tough but worthwhile reading. Inflicted: It happens all the time in the game summaries, and I do understand why. See here: The Timber Rattlers had a great chance to add to their lead in the top of the ninth. Bello started the inning with a double. Then, with one out, Ethan Murray singled and Joe Gray Jr. was hit by a pitch to load the bases. A strikeout and a grounder to short ended the threat. As fans, we're seeking out, why didn't our team score in that situation. Later on, wait, how did the zombie runner from 2nd base in extras not score in that frame? In this posted example it was the wonderful Tristan Peters who struck out. Tristan won't be protected in print in "The Show", but I get it, and it's not picking on Chris, as it happens all the time - literally all the time -- across all minor league levels. Hey, they like accentuating the positive, as do we. Admittedly I haven't watched it in full yet, and these "Mic'd Up" videos can be hit-or-miss, but here's the latest via Darrien Miller, hope it lightens the mood: Speaking of Miller, he hasn't played since exiting in the 4th inning June 3rd. *** Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Myrtle Beach (Cubs) 5, Carolina 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats' site, details, please review: Garcia and Chourio Both Homer in 5-3 Loss - Eduardo Garcia went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday’s game Headlines work better with accompanying video - Mudcats currently carrying a two-man bench - catcher Jeferson Quero and second baseman Zack Raabe sat out this one. The infusion of a few college players to Carolina in the 2022 draft is still a ways off. Carolina batters fanned 15 times. Carolina hurlers K'd 16. My, the game has devolved, hasn't it? *** Final: ACL Cubs 5, ACL Brewers Blue 4 Box Score / Game Log Men in Blue managed only two hits, though they drew nine walks, four by SS Daniel Guilarte. Four walks thrown by starter Andy Garcia, who struggled in that regard in his rookie season in Maryvale last summer. We joke about it at times, but Arizona is seriously dealing with early summer heat, serious even for folks very used to it, 112 degrees for this one. *** Final: ACL Reds 9, ACL Brewers Gold 8, ten innings Box Score / Game Log Jose Caballero lined out to center field to open the 10th inning, and the zombie runner was thrown out trying to advance. Tip the cap on the throw, it seems. A first-pitch single ended things quickly in the bottom of the 10th for the walkoff loss. Stateside debut for recently turned 19-year-old starting RHP and Dominican native Patricio Aquino, who filled his line score. In addition to what you see in the box, he plunked three batters in a very busy three innings. Another 19-year-old debuted stateside, as Venezuelan Gerson Calzadilla, who was solid with a 1.24 WHIP in his DSL rookie 2021 season, followed Aquino. RHP Jeison Pena was excellent in his three frames, he's off to a great start in his first two 2022 outings. The heart of the order at 2-3-4 are exactly the higher-profile players you'd want to succeed, so this box score is pretty in that regard. *** Final: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 12, DSL Tigers #2 Squad 11 Box Score / Game Log Prominent 2022 signee Luis Lara is finding holes, now 9-for-18 (eight singles, one triple) - four hits in this one. *** Final: DSL Blue Jays 7, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 0 Box Score / Game Log Amidst the gloom of the final score, sweet four-inning professional debut for 19-year-old Dominican RH starter Felipe De Los Santos. But 18-year-old Dominican RHP Darling Solano did not retire any of the six batters he faced in his pro debut, one hit allowed and five walks. But his first name wins the day. Get them next time, Darling. *** All evening action outside of the Dominican Saturday - enjoy the start of your weekend, everyone.
