Here's your final Link Report from Sunday 4/10

"His left pinky finger is not where it's supposed to be" - Voice of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos Erik Bremer We'll get to game results in a moment, but one of the benefits of MiLB.TV is that we can review the archives in the unfortunate event a player leaves a game in what is clearly an injury situation, but it's not fully documented in the game summary (the authors of the summaries will never speculate, which makes sense). Image courtesy of our new Minor League Link Report logo! "His left pinky finger is not where it's supposed to be" - Voice of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos Erik Bremer We'll get to game results in a moment, but one of the benefits of MiLB.TV is that we can review the archives in the unfortunate event a player leaves a game in what is clearly an injury situation, but it's not fully documented in the game summary (the authors of the summaries will never speculate, which makes sense). Subscribers can go the 01:11:15 hour/minute mark from Sunday evening's Biloxi/Pensacola match up and you'll catch a brief and scary glimpse of that pinky as Noah Campbell beat out an infield single but dove into first base when doing so. Our forum poster ARobsBrewCrew with the injury update - Noah Campbell suffered a compound fracture of his pinky finger (glove hand). Will miss some time but shouldn’t be an extended absence. Campbell was brought up to provide corner infield depth because there's been no word on the status of Ashton McGee's injury upon his awkward dive into home plate on Friday night, video of which was provided in that night's report. Thomas Dillard entered the game Sunday to replace Campbell at first base while Cam Devanney was the starting third baseman in the contest. Now let's "dive" into Sunday's game action - be safe, guys. Transactions: None for Sunday as we await any moves regarding McGee/Campbell. Subscribers to The Athletic will see that Brewers beat writer Will Sammon did follow-up on my ask for an Alec Bettinger update. First of all, please find a way to take advantage of the many subscription offers The Athletic provides, if nothing else, for Will's tremendous work. We won't post Will's full paragraph on the situation, but hopefully we can at least refer to this brief note - "the expectation is (Bettinger) will join the (Nashville) rotation by the end of the month. He’s healthy." *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 4, Durham (Rays) 3 Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds' site, game details, please review: Seventh Inning Rally Pushes Sounds Past Durham - Turang Hits Go-Ahead Double in Nashville’s 4-3 Series Finale Win We wouldn't worry about a three-inning, 65-pitch outing for LHP Ethan Small, there are lots of pitchers on this staff who need work - 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 5 K. Small's not always going to be pitch-efficient. RHP Luke Barker to the rescue again, stranding LHP Angel Perdomo's three walks. Heck, in a combined 1.2 IP within the 4th and 5th frames, RHP J.C. Mejia and Perdomo walked six and thanks to Barker, only one run scored. Speaking of Perdomo's. RHP Luis Perdomo struck out the side in order to end things. We swear that the out-of-left-field big league acquisition of RHP Jose Urena while leaving Luis Perdomo in AAA will be having us all question our "In Stearns We Trust" mantras soon. OF Garrett Whitley, DH'ing here, was on base three times, and had one of the three Sounds stolen bases (no caught stealing). Here's Adam McCalvy with brief notes on Brice Turang's CF debut. Quick hits: Is MLB still going with a small Covid taxi squad for road games? Otherwise, whither Pablo Reyes? So where will the Brewers' AAA club be a few years from now? Here's ESPN's Buster Olney: So I own the family farm or part of the family farm that I grew up on. I would bet the family farm that within 10 years you will have Major League Baseball being played in Nashville. It’s the site that everybody talks about I think more than others that are going to be considered, whether it’s Portland or whether it’s Charlotte. The fact that the Titans have had so much success, the Predators have had so much success that when people talk about atmosphere in an arena, they always refer to the Predators. I know Major League Baseball officials who’ve gone to Nashville to go watch those games because of what they hear. Major League Baseball has two franchises that are very troubled with their ballpark situations the Tampa Bay Rays and the Oakland Athletics. Now that this next labor deal has been signed, their ballpark situations are next on the docket. Once baseball gets that resolved, I have no doubt that the owners will say, OK, we’re going to be ready for two expansion teams. And I would bet the family farm that the Nashville will get one of those two teams. *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 3, Pensacola (Marlins) 1 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: Shuckers' Pitching Fuels Opening Weekend Series - RHP Tyler Herb Stars in Bullpen Appearance On an otherwise drab day at the plate for the boys (0-for-5, 4 K's for Garrett Mitchell), CF Joey Wiemer - yes, it's CF day here at the Report - was 3-for-3 with a walk and is well on his way to being a national treasure. OK, let's temper that enthusiasm, but we're all going to enjoy this ride. The line for Pensacola starter Brian Hoeing - 5.2 IP, 7 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 10 K. RHP Tyler Herb's Baseball Reference page will allow you to see the soon-to-be 30-year-old's organizational journey. Yay on RHP Victor Castaneda's AA debut (though he appeared in three games - two starts) with AAA Nashville in 2021, and you'll learn we love stranding inherited runners here, so kudos on your one-third of an inning, RHP Zach Vennaro.

Some may say it's mainly about development in the minor leagues (and to some extent, it is), but let's be honest, winning is fun, and there isn't a person in the Brewers organization or fandom that can argue with that. So while it would have been nice to see a Cubs "L" flying in Wrigley Field Saturday, you'll find the maximum number of "W's" within today's Minor League Link Report. The affiliates are now a combined 8-2 on the very young season. Image courtesy of our new Minor League Link Report logo! Some may say it's mainly about development in the minor leagues (and to some extent, it is), but let's be honest, winning is fun, and there isn't a person in the Brewers organization or fandom that can argue with that. So while it would have been nice to see a Cubs "L" flying in Wrigley Field Saturday, you'll find the maximum number of "W's" within today's Minor League Link Report. The affiliates are now a combined 8-2 on the very young season. Do keep in mind comments are always welcome on each day's report. Once you've reviewed each report's action with us, feel free to comment on any of the prospects, position experiments, etc. - your observations are appreciated. While the formal daily report will most often post each early AM (we strive to be ready for your breakfast reading by 7:00 AM Central), we will kick off a mini-informal thread early each day on our Minor League Forum. You'll find the posted lineups there, along with the miscellaneous news of the day. The formal report will now always be here on the BrewerFanatic news page, but something for you farmhand diehards to be aware of. Hey folks, do you want to see a top-to-bottom report each day, starting with AAA? Or should we occasionally change it up, if the Mudcats played an epic contest, or a Shuckers player had a record-setting performance, for instance. Let us know in the comments! *** Transactions: None for Saturday. Once the affiliates begin their Tuesday through Sunday schedules this week (Mondays off), we'll find Tuesday's will be the heavy transaction days as rosters shuffle. *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes So how are the Sounds getting away with 17 active pitchers on their active roster? And 34 active players overall? Not sure if this will be a season-long rule, or just for April, but Voice of the Sounds Jeff Hem was indicating on a broadcast earlier this week (yeah, I've been sampling quite a bit), that the team's starting pitchers are effectively exempt from being on the team's lineup card on the days when they are not pitching. Is this at AAA only, seems like it. I know a lot of you are true roster and transaction mavens, so keep an eye on that. Final: Nashville 2, Durham (Rays) 1 Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds' site, game details, please review: Josh Lindblom Stifles Durham in Sounds Victory - Veteran Right-hander Tosses Five Scoreless Innings in 2-1 Win Lindblom, RHP Hobie Harris and LHP Rex Brothers danced with danger as they walked six over 6.2 innings. But as noted in the game summary, RHP Peter Strzelecki was clutch, and he's off to a nice start after a very strong 2021 when he fanned 71 in 52 innings spent mostly at AA Biloxi. Props to Trevor Kelley for the 1-2-3 save. Video evidence on Strzelecki (and Jeff's help on pronouncing Peter's last name!) Video from earlier in the contest - beyond the Tyler White blast (strong dude, didn't seem he got the ideal part of the bat on that), the Sounds' only other two base knocks were Brice Turang's singles, one driving in the team's other run. *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 6, Pensacola (Marlins) 5 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: Lutz' Late Homer Vaults Shuckers To 6-5 Victory - Biloxi Takes Opening Series From Wahoos, Can Go For Sweep On Sunday Gee, hope the Shuckers save some of this drama for the home fans starting Tuesday, back-to-back intense contests! And yes, a potential sweep, meaning that other than Nashville, the Brewers affiliates all open with three-game series. Then, the steady pattern of six-game Tue-Sun series begins. Who's on board with 23-year-old Tristen Lutz breaking out in 2022? My goodness, we're so guilty of playing with early-game numbers, but we'd all climb on that train. It'd be sweet for the 34th overall pick out of a Texas high school in 2017 to place himself high on the radar this summer. Let's just get to the finish - that's the Voice of the Blue Wahoos, Erik Bremer, who you may remember from previous work as an assistant in Biloxi and Colorado Springs. This is his first year as the lead voice in Pensacola. From earlier in the game, just give us all the Felix Valerio possible, you don't need much wrapping paper. LHP Andy Otero was effective (2 R, 8 K) in his four innings, sorry to low-light him here, but can we all agree that Pensacola's ballpark location is magnificent? RHP Abner Uribe's line - 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K, and he can thank RHP Nash Walters for the zero in the run column. Walters, the oft-injured 3rd round pick out of a Texas high school in 2015, could have elected minor league free agency last fall, as he's now in his 8th season with the Crew and hopes to force a 40-man roster decision on them. He won't turn 25 until May. Ten combined walks, 27 combined K's (Biloxi pitchers fanned 16!), yet at three hours, 17 minutes this game was only 12 minutes longer than the Sounds 2-1 game with six combined hits. *** Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes via their all-encompassing Virtual Press Box Final: Wisconsin 7, Peoria (Cardinals) 6, ten innings Box Score / Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers' site, game details, please review: Rattlers Welcome Back Baseball with Walkoff Win - Martínez hits RBI single in bottom of the tenth for 7-6 victory as Wisconsin comes back twice against Peoria Hey T-Rats, you don't have to wait until the 8th inning for that first base hit, my goodness, how did we get to this final score? You just read about it, now watch. As per usual, the Wisconsin production staff does an amazing job with their game action presentations, and we appreciate they include all scoring plays, not just from the "good guys" perspective. Rattler batters reached base twelve times, four of those belonging to the mercurial and larger-than-life 6'6", 250 lb. Ernesto Martinez, Impressive when one's personality outweighs one's physical presence. Props to RHP Brady Schanuel for the top pitching line from this game. 25 Photos via the Post-Crescent *** Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Carolina 8, Down East (Rangers) 2 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats' site, game details, please review: Bello Stays Hot in 8-2 Carolina Victory - Carolina pitchers combined for 17 strikeouts in Saturday's 8-2 victory There's a few reasons we ask you all to click on each affiliate game summary from their official site (this is still the "Link Report" afer all, despite the new look). First of all, the folks (invariably the team broadcasters) work very hard to put those together. Plus they were on-site for all nine (or more) innings, we can't be. We'll highlight box score nuggets, but you will do yourselves a big favor by reading those official reports for each game, it will greatly add to your perspective of what's happening on the farm. This was indeed the pro debut for 20-year-old RHP Carlos Rodriguez, a native of Nicaragua drafted in the 6th round out of a Florida junior college last summer. 2021 9th round RHP Brannon Jordan (University of South Carolina) got to pitch away from the heat of Maryvale for the first time, as did LHP Karlos Morales who remarkably spent four summers at the Maryvale complex (not to mention the lost covid season). The 6'3" Morales was drafted in the 25th round out of a California high school back in 2017, that's perseverance! Two other pitchers saw full-season action for the first time. Undrafted 2021 signee Trevor Tietz and 21-year-old RHP Brandon Ramey, one of the three "lottery tickets" David Stearns received from Philadelphia in the August 31, 2020 David Phelps trade. Clearly hoping both thrive, but in the big picture, who is the better corner outfield prospect, Hedbert Perez or Hendry Mendez? Let us know what you think and why in the comments. This low-A lineup did what a lot of low-A lineups do - eight runs on nine hits, nine walks, one HBP, while fanning eleven times. Meanwhile, Mudcat pitchers combined to walk five and plunk two, but as the Mudcat game summary banner proclaimed, also K'd 17! *** Sunday 4/10: Double-dip in Appleton and early evening action for the Shuckers.

Here's your final Link Report from Friday 4/8

After allowing the AAA club to bask in their solo spotlight for a bit, it was time to peel back the curtain on a full slate of games for the Brewers' affiliates. Mother Nature had other ideas, but hey, an undefeated night is an undefeated night! Image courtesy of our new Minor League Link Report logo! After allowing the AAA club to bask in their solo spotlight for a bit, it was time to peel back the curtain on a full slate of games for the Brewers' affiliates. Mother Nature had other ideas, but hey, an undefeated night is an undefeated night! Transactions: OF/IF Noah Campbell was promoted from High-A Wisconsin to AA Biloxi, providing much-needed depth after the recent Korry Howell and Hayden Cantrelle trades. The ultra-versatile Campbell was at Carolina for all of 2021 (.775 OPS), so for the moment at least, is bypassing the High-A level. 25-year-old LHP Scott Sunitsch was placed on the 10-day injured list at Biloxi. Sunitsch is apparently still working his way back from 2021 hip surgery, though it's possible this placement is unrelated. Due to the lost Covid season, Sunitsch last saw action at the two A-Ball levels in 2019 - 28 appearances, 26 of them starts. LHP Jakob Brustoski was assigned to Low-A Carolina, This will be Brustoski’s official organizational (and pro) debut, as the recently-turned-23-year-old had Tommy John surgery in December 2020, causing him to miss his junior year at Texas Tech. The Brewers signed him as an undrafted free agent in February 2021. Also, thanks to a poster's contribution link on the Minor League Forum, we got some clarity on the what the "Development List" is all about. *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 3, Durham (Rays) 1 Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds' site, game details, please review: Jason Alexander Pitches Sounds to Win - Right-hander Tosses Five Scoreless Innings to Even Series We'll be up front with everyone, it's too long a season and too easy a reference, so for Jason Alexander's sake, you won't see Seinfeld/Costanza comments here very often. This fantastic feature article from last December is the definitive chronicling of Alexander's baseball journey. Since this was Alexander's Brewers organization debut, this is a fine chance to familiarize yourself with him. 113 MPH off the bat? How's the webbing in your glove this morning, Jamie Westbrook? The relief trio of RHP Luis Perdomo, RHP J.C. Mejia, and RHP Miguel Sanchez made their 2022 debuts. It will be interesting to see how long it is prior to Perdomo being stretched out. *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 13, Pensacola (Marlins) 11, 11 innings Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: What A Night! Shuckers Win Season Opener In Wild 11-Inning Affair - Valerio Homer Wins It For Biloxi First of all thank you Mets, for the January 2019 trade in which Keon Broxton turned into RHP Adam Hill (who was later flipped for Omar Narvaez) and a Dominican Summer League lottery pick in the 5'7" Felix Valerio. Hope you digested Garrett Greene's report just above, because where do we begin? Had the MiLB.TV video feed of the Pensacola broadcast on one device while synching (or attempting to) the Biloxi audio on another. It made for late-night fun for sure (game time 4:08). Check out the early-inning action here, you'll see a Garrett Mitchell triple, Joey Wiemer's first AA hit (plus showing off his cannon from right field), all which the Shuckers tweeted last night. But this video includes our only view of Tristen Lutz' HR as well. Might as well make your first AA knock ultra-productive, Freddy Zamora! Unfortunately, 3B Ashton McGee had to leave the game after a very awkward slide into home on this play. Total speculation, but that can't be good for one's shoulder. Here's hoping it's only a day-to-day, love McGee (.913 OPS in 2021) and the cleanup choice in a stacked lineup. By the way, 5'7" for Felix is being generous... Talk about immediate "Hello, Old Friend" - part of a 3-for-6 night: The Shuckers won despite committing four infield errors, they did eventually get to 18-year-old RHP phenom Eury Perez, but only after three dominant innings, and we haven't touched on the Shucker arms in this game. One of those wild nights where you just dig into the box and log and explore. Enjoy! *** Details on the Timber Rattlers postponement - Wet field conditions delay season-opener, juggles opening weekend schedule for Wisconsin *** Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Carolina 6, Down East (Rangers) 3 Box Score / Game Log We don't see an online version of the game summary quite yet, so we'll copy and paste the press release: Cipion Drives in Four in 6-3 Opening Night Victory The Mudcats defeated Down East 6-3 with 3,999 in attendance on Opening Night ZEBULON – Arbert Cipion matched a career high with four RBI, and Micah Bello scored three times as the Carolina Mudcats defeated the Down East Wood Ducks 6-3 in front of an Opening Night crowd of 3,999 on Friday night at Five County Stadium. Reliever Christian Tripp earned the victory and Michele Vassalotti earned his first career save. The Mudcats (1-0) originally fell behind 1-0 in the second before tying things at 1-1 thanks to Cipion’s first of two run scoring doubles in the game. Carolina then took a 2-1 lead when Jheremy Vargas singled and scored on a RBI single from Hendry Mendez. Bello made it 3-1 in the fourth when he doubled and scored on a Cipion groundout. The Wood Ducks (0-1) later bounced back with two runs off Carolina starter Ryne Moore to tie the game, but Carolina answered with two more in the sixth and one in the eighth to get the Opening Night victory. Cipion drove in both Carolina runs in the sixth with a two-run double, and Bello scored from third on a double steal (with Cipion taking second) in the eighth. Tripp (1-0, 0.00) earned the win after working through three straight scoreless innings. He entered in the sixth and retired eight straight before walking a batter in the eighth. He also followed Moore who had worked through five innings with three runs allowed on five hits. Moore’s only blemish was a game-tying two run single given up to Maximo Acosta in the fifth. TOP PERFORMERS - BATTERS: Bello, DH (Carolina): 2-for-3, 3 R, 2 2B, 0 3B, 0 HR, 0 RBI Cipion, LF (Carolina): 2-for-3, 0 R, 2 2B, 0 3B, 0 HR, 4 RBI Quero, C (Carolina): 2-for-4, 2 R, 0 2B, 1 3B, 0 HR, 0 RBI TOP PERFORMERS - PITCHERS: Moore (Carolina): 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 SO Tripp (W, 1-0) (Carolina): 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO Vassalotti (S, 1) (Carolina): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO Hey, way to go, Zebulon, couldn't fudge the number to get a 4,000th fan in the ballpark? Great turnout! He won't turn 22 until next month, but speedster Arbert Cipion is working on his 5th pro year (the lost Covid season counts for service time). He was the Crew's 9th round pick in 2018 out of a New Jersey high school. It's been a struggle (nearly 44% K rate), but it'd be neat if this was one of those development-of-raw-tool-stories. Two doubles and a walk for Micah Bello, who was the DH here. Now 21, folks may have forgotten that Bello was the 73rd overall pick in that same 2018 draft. Nice work by the two big RHP's in Ryne Moore and Christian Tripp. Tripp, the former Mets farmhand who was a victim of their Covid-era releases, just turned 25. Importantly, he only walked one in three innings, as control was an issue in 2021's Carolina debut (20 BB's in 25.1 IP). Keep that up and he'll be bumped to a more age-appropriate level soon. Folks, I did take in much of this game via MiLB.TV, and wow, nice first 2022 impression Jeferson Quero (2-for-4). The Brewers' prized catcher just exudes maturity, and his triple was a laser beam over the center fielder's head punctuated with an athletic slide into third. One bummer - Carolina's social media presence, at least in terms of within-game video highlights and such, is in a state of transition as of now. The Mudcats had one of the premier online entertaining identities in all of MiLB for the past few years, hopefully they can strive to regain at least part of that. *** We're not going to be able to make note of Brewers alumni each and every night (not even close), however it was quite a week thus far, particularly Friday night. From earlier this week, we missed David Fry's (J.C. Mejia trade) first home run in the Guardians' organization - RHP Evan Reifert (Mike Brosseau trade) made his AA debut in style last night, just 15 pitches to do this: Did we all see catcher Payton Henry (John Curtiss trade) made Miami's opening big league roster? Wonderful AA start to the season for Reese Olson (Daniel Norris trade). Third baseman Alex Binelas was 2-for-4 in his High-A Boston system debut Friday night. And his trade partner in the JBJ/Hunter Renfroe deal, David Hamilton, had a Red Sox AA debut for the ages, oh of course he stole a base, too. *** Saturday 4/9: Make note of the gametime starts as you plan your Brewers prospect Saturday!

I just learned if you hit shift-enter, it'll single space.

25-year-old LHP Scott Sunitsch placed on the 10-day injured list at Biloxi. Sunitsch apparently still working his way back from 2021 hip surgery, though it's possible this placement is unrelated.
