Pretty easy to entice you to click on that summary link, why? Apparently, the Tides' pitchers were magnetized as the first two of the four video highlights within will prove The paragraph in the notes section on Luis Lara (who authored one of those base knocks off the pitcher) is particularly impressive Oh yeah, Jett Williams is preparing for a big-league liftoff There's little doubt at this point that Jacob Waguespack is going to make his way to the big-league Brewers bullpen before 2026 ends, and perhaps in short order Even with four videos tucked into the team write-up, there's more to share: Eddys Leonard line drive RBI single to center gets the boys on the board - .982 OPS, was the DH here Relievers don't get dedicated videos very often, so kudos, Kaleb Bowman - Now for the primary story of the game - Quinn Priester laid this first-inning pitch on a platter: Following inning, same batter, hanging curve from Priester for an RBI single Another off-speed pitch left up punished - If you haven't completed your Priester box score line yet, it was 2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 HR, 1 WP, 62 pitches, 37 strikes - and this is why pitching rehab assignments are allowed to max out at 30 days. Priester's began on April 22nd, there's plenty of room for additional Nashville outings. This isn't the first time OF Jordyn Adams has been hit by a pitch this season (it's his third plunking), and yet I can't keep my brain from automatically floating to his surname partner Luke during each box score visit. Luke Adams was previously retroactively placed on the 7-day IL to April 15th, yet an apparent hand injury still has him sidelined. I've always contended that "on-base" streaks aren't worthy of all the attention the affiliates place on them - don't get me wrong, they are better than "not-on-base" streaks, but once a player reaches the 20-game mark and beyond, then the mentions are much more tolerable. Hello, Mr. Wilken. The MiLB scoreboard shows TBD as Saturday's starter, but the media notes indicate it'll be RHP Garrett Stallings pitching for only the 2nd time since April 16th, and that one outing was not pretty. Stallings will be on six days' rest. His role is supremely important to plug in as necessary given all the arm-shuffling to the big-league roster. Postponed, Biloxi at Pensacola (Marlins), rain The teams play twice on Saturday, beginning at 4:05 Central. RHP's Manuel Rodriguez and Brett Wichrowski are the scheduled starters. Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives Plus, even though these notes ended up getting soggy, you can still read your way through multiple updates: Just a guess, but it's unlikely any other organization fan site makes sure the fanbase has regular access to the media notes as we do here. The affiliate crews work hard on these (we appreciate the nuggets within!) Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Wisconsin 6, Quad Cities (Royals) 5, ten innings Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Fischer’s Walkoff Home Run in Tenth is the Winner for Wisconsin - Rattlers rally with three in tenth inning to beat Quad Cities An example of when you watch the whole movie even though you're aware (as that game summary title tells you) of the ending. Enjoy! OK, please properly discard your popcorn container as Andrew Fischer tells us what we can do with any possible Golden Sombrero reference. The kid has a flair about him, no doubt. His blast earned him a brief MLB.com game entry article as well. The backstory bonus in this game was the bulk relief outing by Braylon Owens, Via Sportrac: "Milwaukee Brewers 2025 10th-round pick (No. 305 overall) Braylon Owens signed for a $10,000 bonus. The RHP from the University of Texas-San Antonio was an underslot senior sign, allowing the team to save money from his $189,000 slot value for other draft picks." 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 HR), 3 BB, 11 K Owens' last two outings: 11 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 17 K This side note caught our box score eye - Error: Dickinson (8, throw) 2025 6th rounder Daniel Dickinson in 68 games played last spring at LSU - four errors. For Wisconsin, Dickinson has started 11 games at shortstop, eight at second base, and has committed four miscues at each. Going to chalk it up as an odd anomaly at this point. Tayden Hall's BABIP during his super-frustrating 2025 season was an insane .204. This year it's .304, which still falls below his 2022-2024 marks. We were guilty of not spotlighting last year's figure enough during that run. Josiah Ragsdale has base knocks in ten of twelve games and has been bouncing back nicely from the tiny sample first-week struggles. Important update as the organization is being thorough: Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wilson 11, Salem (Red Sox) 2 Box Score and Game Log Longballs Lift Wilson Past Salem - Warbirds Hit Two Home Runs in Victory Plenty of game action to discuss, but the Salem Red Sox rebrand was OK, I guess (everything behind the name and logos). Let's get right to the best part - Warbirds already up 5-2, bottom of the 6th, early candidate for bat flip of the year, though our @Spencer Michaelis has even more fun with it: What'd you say, Spencer? How wild is it that the Warbirds scored 11 runs on a night where their HR and RBI leader Jose Anderson was on the bench for only the second time this season? Whoa, how about those game jerseys? This option is not among those available at the team store. Check out first baseman Frederi Montero in the uni on his own jaunt around the bases: Montero also had a sacrifice fly We'll feature each of Brady Ebel's two knocks: Infield single in the 5th Two-RBI double in the 8th Via the Wilson Times: Brewers’ top pick Ebel living the dream in Wilson - Brewers first-round pick is finding his swing in Wilson, delivering multi-hit performances as the 19-year-old settles into his first full pro season By Paul Durham First game with less than two walks - one BB, one HBP) for the impressive (also 19-year-old) RHP Tyler Renz, and along with JUCO non-drafted signing RHP Thomas Conrad, 20, and 5th year LHP Anfernny Reyes, 22, worth your box score review for their lines. Something has clicked for Reyes in his 3rd Carolina League go-round, and he's a prime candidate for a bump to Appleton before long. Fun, fun contest - Warbirds 5-for-11 with RISP, stranded only four, but we'll have to turn a blind eye to their 17 strikeouts at the dish. We will jump from three games in this edition to six within Saturday's report with the Shuckers road doubleheader and the opening of the Arizona Complex League season. In the lone afternoon contest, 2025 2nd round LHP J.D. Thompson takes the mound for the first time as a pro in Appleton, while 2025 3rd round 6'8" RHP Jacob Morrison makes his professional debut in Wilson. Exciting!

MLB Pipeline Newsletter Notes: Luis Lara/Braylon Payne, OF, Brewers (No. 11, No. 13): Lara and Payne are both speedy outfielders in the Milwaukee system, and that’s about where the similarities end. Standing at 5-foot-7, Lara was more of a high-floor, low-ceiling type entering this season with his plus-plus defense and a severe lack of power. The 6-foot-2 Payne had a higher ceiling with 70-grade speed and loud contact, but his 30.1 percent strikeout rate at Single-A last season brought some concerns that the bottom could fall out of his profile if he never made adequate contact. The story for both early in 2026 has been significant jumps in slugging output. Lara’s five homers in 26 games for Triple-A Nashville are already a career high. His general contact still isn’t truly loud with a 90th-percentile exit velocity of 102.3 mph and a 54.3 percent groundball rate, but he is making tons of contact on pitches inside the zone. Adding a modest amount of strength and becoming even just a 10-12-homer threat as a switch hitter is huge for his outlook as a potential everyday player who provides more than the glove. Payne, on the other hand, already has a 115 mph homer that trumps any Brewers dinger in the Major Leagues for exit velo since Avisaíl Garcia’s 116.7 mph shot on Sept. 12, 2021, but we knew impressive high-end EVs were in the tank. His six homers -- only two fewer than his 2025 total in 63 fewer games -- and .796 slugging percentage have come because he’s putting that loud contact in the air more; his groundball rate has fallen from 50.3 percent in ‘25 to 38.2 percent in ‘26. The contact issues are still worthy of further study, as he’ll leak out early in his swing and become vulnerable to sliders, but the power-speed combo is entering rare territory.

"Jack Stern returns to the show as he and Spencer Michaelis discuss the concern level for Angel Zerpa and Brandon Woodruff, who could step up on the pitching staff, the significance of how the Pirates pitched Garrett Mitchell, and more."

Pregame Audio Thursday 4/30 RHP Joe Corbett

No sound and player identifications are limited, but just the fact there's a score bug and velocity readings for this pre-season game is impressive. Gives hope for future "broadcasts" from complex leagues in future years.

This is one of those situations where we wouldn't be hiding anything from everyone if there had been. Actually, we're not really "hiders" at all. So, answer is no at this time.

Nothing since this January update: 1/20: "RHP Josh Knoth is now full-go off of the mound and slated for a normal spring training."

Just wow.
