Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic The balls were flying in Charlotte (as they always do), but runs were tough to come by below the AAA level - and heck, hits for that matter, for the youngest of the affiliates, nothing new there. Transactions: Nashville Sounds placed RHP Will Childers on the 7-day injured list retroactive to April 24. Nashville Sounds activated RHP Kaleb Bowman from the Development List. No word on what is ailing Childers, His ERA is 0.00 and WHIP is 1.00 through seven outings. It seems a retroactive placement in and of itself is hopeful of a short stint. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final, Game One: Nashville 12, Charlotte (White Sox) 5 Box Score and Game Log Final, Game Two: Charlotte 16, Nashville 6 Box Score and Game Log NOTE: Both games in Charlotte were seven-inning contests, while the Sounds were the home team in the nightcap due to a prior postponement in Nashville Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Split Doubleheader in Charlotte - Nashville Records 25 Hits, 11 Extra-Base Hits, and 18 Runs Across Two Games The Sounds' staff wisely included all five home runs from the doubleheader in video form (Eddys Leonard grand slam, Ethan Murray solo bomb, Jeferson Quero solo, Jett Williams two-run dinger, Luis Lara solo) in their report linked above, so I have peace of mind in knowing you will now familiarize yourself with those and all the statistical tidbits within. Also from Game One: Additional Game One Video: Ethan Murray two-RBI single Brock Wilken RBI single Cooper Pratt RBI triple Luis Lara RBI groundout Additional Game Two Video: Jeferson Quero sacrifice fly Ramon Rodriguez RBI single Our own @Spencer Michaelis added detail to the Lara home run here. OK, that was quite the feast for your eyes. The Knights scored 21 runs over 14 innings so you know there were some unfortunate pitches thrown by Sounds hurlers as well. Craig Yoho was taken deep twice within five pitches. All position players on the roster saw action, with Jacob Hurtubise and Freddy Zamora swapped in for Leonard and Murray in the later contest. Luis Lara did commit his first fielding error in Game Two but also threw out a runner at third base later in the game. Cooper Pratt was on base six times on the day, that's promising. Nashville batters only K'd eight times between the two games. Sounds pitchers walked ten total on the day. Robert Gasser's first appearance in fifteen days (third start overall) was brief (32 pitches, 22 strikes) and was aided by old friend Oliver Dunn's ill-fated attempt to steal home to end Gasser's second (and final) inning of work. Given Gasser's planned short stint, Garrett Stallings was forced to wear one in Game Two, and even with that Manager Rick Sweet wanted to see more than three innings out of the minor league veteran. Logan Henderson is Sunday's scheduled starter, and the Brewers have been conserving his bullets, with 3.1 innings being the longest Henderson's gone in his four appearances thus far - just 12.2 IP over four AAA games. Sweet will once again be glad to leave the Coors Field of the East. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Rocket City (Angels) 6, Biloxi 3 Box Score and Game Log Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - RHP Tyson Hardin's interview available, discusses his changeup development process Shuckers Doubled by Trash Pandas on Mudbugs Night - Shuckers Drop Second Straight to Trash Pandas Mudbugs merch! (For you crawfish fans...) The Shuckers won the first three games of the series and hope to avoid a 3rd consecutive loss Sunday. The game summary mentions this as a second consecutive "rubber game". The first came about in the opening series of the season, which you may remember was a three-game weekend set. It is true that today's finale will decide whether the series ends in a split or a Shuckers win, but if the series isn't tied heading into the finale, is it really a rubber game? It's open to your interpretation (origination of the term, nothing to do with actual rubber). Oh yeah, the game. Nice that Damon Keith's recent IL stint was brief, .990 OPS through his ten games played: The lone hit for this young man in four AB's, but let it grace our screens - Made almost beat out this groundout, but it netted him an RBI. It was rosy for 20-year-old starter Manuel Rodriguez through four innings. Then came the Trash Panda 5th, all of this after two outs! Single (no video) Stolen base RBI single RBI double RBI single Single, runner to 3rd (no video) Stolen base, men on 2nd and 3rd Run-scoring balk (no video) RBI single Rodriguez has only walked five in his four starts, and none here. Biloxi batters only K'd four times but were 1-for-11 with RISP. This was Mike Boeve's 9th start in left field (4 at 3B, 2 at 1B, 4 as the DH). Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Fort Wayne (Padres) 2, Wisconsin 1 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: TinCaps Snap Rattlers Win Streak - Wisconsin scores eleven runs on eleven hits to beat TinCaps Braylon Owens gives off Aaron Civale vibes, not the worst thing, young man (Civale signed for $7M with the Athletics for 2026). In the history of professional baseball, there have only been six "Braylon's", five of them are active, and it would be six if one had not been released by the Pirates last August. So yeah, it's a name that only caught traction early this century. It was shocking to learn that of the six, the only two who were born in Texas were the Timber Rattlers duo (by the way, you did see the Braylon Payne missile within the game summary linked above, right?). Payne does not turn 20 years old until mid-August. My goodness, he's been amazing all month. Defense is fun! Speaking of the Wisconsin game summary, here's the fateful bottom of the 8th inning sequence verbatim: "Omar Linares, the ninth batter in Fort Wayne’s order, drew a one-out walk. Jake Cunningham followed with a sharp single to right to put runners at the corners. Kasen Wells dropped a perfect safety squeeze bunt to score Linares from third for a 1-0 lead. Galindez hit Lamar King Jr to load the bases before striking out Alex McCoy for the second out. That strikeout left McCoy hitless on the afternoon to end his hitting streak at fifteen games and ended the day for Galindez as the Rattlers went to the bullpen. Yerlin Rodriguez took over for Galindez and issued a four-pitch walk to Rosman Verdugo and Fort Wayne picked up a very important insurance run." Longtime Link Report readers might say, wait, Yerlin Rodriguez was brought in to replace another RHP who had just fanned a tough batter with the bases loaded and two outs? The Yerlin Rodriguez who had issued 12 free passes in 3.2 innings on the season-to-date and is beginning his 3rd high-powered yet roller-coaster and sometimes mind-numbing season with Wisconsin? Wouldn't you know it, Rodriguez fanned the next batter after the base on balls. This, folks, is why it's all about player development. Can it frustrate fans, sure. The final pitcher for the TinCaps was a southpaw. RH bat Daniel Dickinson walked immediately after the Payne home run. On the bench were fellow righties Marco Dinges and Andrew Fischer. Tempting to bat for LH swingers Eric Bitonti and Josiah Ragsdale, right? Please read the brief paragraph above this one again! Bitonti flied out to left, Ragsdale was caught looking (on what was definitely not a strike three, watched it live). Not the best angle on that final pitch, but judge for yourself, the CF view was just as questionable! Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Delmarva (Orioles) 4, Wilson 1 Box Score and Game Log Home Runs Doom Wilson in Series Loss - Warbirds Drop Fourth Straight You know, we haven't really done nearly enough wordplay with this whole Warbirds vs. Shorebirds matchup. Have to believe there are some broadcast challenges there! Wilson was being no-hit until two were down in the 7th. Luis Lameda lines a single to break up the Delmarva no-no Had to wait until there were two outs in the 9th inning for this: That was Wilson's second hit of the night. The third hit immediately followed - Handelfry Encarnacion pulled a fly ball triple to right (no video available). Don't have the actuals on this, but how many times has Jose Anderson (4 HR, 19 RBI) accounted for all the Warbirds RBI in a game?) By the way, Anderson's K percentage now sits at 49.4% through 85 plate appearances. 19-year-old RHP Tyler Renz walked four today, giving him 14 through 18.1 IP over five appearances (four starts). Can't be easy (or fun) for these Wilson pitchers to lack run support, not to mention the brief dugout layovers with so many quick innings. Wilson batters drew ten walks (Brady Ebel twice plus he was hit by a pitch), so if it had been a no-hitter, it would have been of the ugly variety. Team RISP: 0-for-13. Team LOB: 14. It's been tempting all month to insert a Tom Hanks screaming "Wilson!" image into a report. Too many painful moments. All four Sunday games have early starts, none later than 1:00 Central. RHP Jason Woodward continues his return from a second Tommy John surgery in Fort Wayne for the Rattlers. Hope everyone caps off their weekend on a positive note, including a certain team playing at Am-Fam Field.

Warbirds injury update within Friday's Link Report. -
Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic On a night when the Rattlers rolled, the win column was empty elsewhere. Transactions: Milwaukee Brewers optioned RHP Carlos Rodriguez to Nashville Sounds. Milwaukee Brewers recalled 3B Tyler Black from Nashville Sounds. Milwaukee Brewers recalled LHP Shane Drohan from Nashville Sounds. CF Jordyn Adams assigned to Nashville Sounds from Biloxi Shuckers. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Charlotte (White Sox) 11, Nashville 9 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Leonard Homers Twice in Loss to Charlotte - Sounds, Knights Combine for 20 Runs and 17 Hits As you might imagine in such an affair, that Sounds game summary is loaded both in positive and negative ways. Devour every morsel. This is Eddys Leonard's age 25 season, yet it's his 9th professional campaign - well, 8th, because of 2020. It made plenty of sense for the Brewers to target Leonard (pronounced Lee'-oh-nard) as a minor league free agent and entice him with a big-league camp inclusion. Yet, Leonard saw only 17 plate appearances before he was dispatched early-on to minor league camp, despite a 6-for-15 line, .526 OBP. All six spring knocks were singles, but the infielder/outfielder was coming off a 2025 AAA season in which he slugged 20 home runs among his 42 extra-base hits. In other words, it would have been nice to have seen a bit more this spring. Watch the first bomb here. Leonard has not spent significant time at shortstop since the end of the 2023 season - 22 games in '24, only one in '25, and none with the Sounds. With Nashville, he has as many errors at second base (three) as games played there. Scroll down to the "Minors Career" section of his MiLB Player Fielding Page and you'll see some cantankerous error totals vs. games played at the three infield positions. Manager Rick Sweet has primarily utilized Leonard in left field (he was the designated hitter Friday night). So, while Leonard has had fine early-season moments with the Sounds, he likely isn't a big-league fit for the Crew at this moment. There's no disguising Coleman Crow's line, and these were three poorly executed pitches taken out for tanks by left-handed bats. Crow also walked four. This was a shocking comedown off Crow's fantastic MLB debut. As was mentioned in our nightly forum game thread: After allowing a game-tying homer and 2 walks (the latter on a full count ABS challenge which extended the inning), the Sounds discussed and elected to let Crow continue at 87 pitches. That choice didn't work out: 3-run homer. Crow exits at 91 pitches, allowing 8 earned runs. At least there's only one more road trip to this launching pad scheduled, that'll be in July. Why was OF Jordyn Adams rushed up to Nashville from Biloxi? Because for now, he's the only spare position player available beyond the one backup catcher. Apparently, Luke Adams is back soon (hand injury) and if Luis Matos clears waivers, things will populate again. Luis Lara reached base three times for a second consecutive night after a mini 1-for-15 dry spell (Lara RBI single). Cooper Pratt's 7th inning line drive single snapped an 0-for-17 skid, though he also walked earlier in the game. Jett Williams was 4-for-4 in SB attempts through six games. Over his next 16 games, he only attempted two steals, one successful. He stole his 6th base on the season Friday while batting 5th in the order (two singles), played center field. Oh, we see you Brian Fitzpatrick, we definitely see you, and so do the Brewers, hopefully. Fitzpatrick impressed whenever he was called upon as a visitor to big-league camp this spring - 6.2 scoreless innings, one walk, seven K's. His ERA is still spotless after an additional 10.2 frames this AAA season, two walks, 11 K's. Wow, Shane Smith. I utilized a ton of keystrokes singing your praises in 2025. Yikes. We'll end on a Brock Wilken high note. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Rocket City (Angels) 8, Biloxi 5 Box Score and Game Log Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - Added recently were Manager Mike Guerrero (from Friday) and newcomer OF Mark Coley II Shuckers Fall to Trash Pandas on Friday - O’Rae, Burke extend on-base streaks, Jimenez continues scoreless streak We're guilty of accentuating the positive to an extreme at times, but when it comes to key fielding errors, the affiliate game summaries are even more discreet. The Trash Pandas jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the first with a two-RBI single from Tucker Flint, an RBI single from Harold Coll and a throwing error that allowed Flint to score. First Coleman Crow, now Jaron DeBerry? The game summary blurb just above didn't point out (nor would we necessarily expect it to) that DeBerry's night began walk-walk-walk-infield single-single-ground out complicated by Blake Burke's throwing error-DeBerry pickoff error. Likewise, Nashville's summary noted a key fielding error but didn't name the player (Freddy Zamora). It's a minor point of contention, and to be honest, your box score reviews will provide those details to you. DeBerry has now issued more free passes (16 BB's, 3 HBP's) than innings pitched (18.2). RHP Patricio Aquino didn't fare any better coming in behind DeBerry and has handed out 11 passes of his own in 10.2 innings. The subtitle in the game summary referred to this, but to expand the note - RH reliever Edwin Jimenez has only allowed one baserunner over six innings, fanning seven over his four appearances. Mike Guerrero's bench is once again only one deep beyond catchers. Navigating the dance of balancing all the MiLB rosters is a fun exercise for us armchair farm directors, but in reality, it's super-challenging. You'll find three highlights this AM on the Biloxi 'X' feed. Final highlight showcases the mini mayhem that Dylan O'Rae's speed can produce. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Wisconsin 11, Fort Wayne (Padres) 3 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Rattlers Smash Their Way to Fourth Straight Win - Wisconsin scores eleven runs on eleven hits to beat TinCaps Talk about salvaging the night for the Brewers organization! Offense in a moment, but kudos to the RH trio of Bryce Meccage, Bryan Rivera and Chandler Welch, walking only two (both by Meccage, one HBP by Rivera) and fanning 10. Meccage only needed 66 pitches to get through five innings. and save for one pitch, was very effective. Perhaps we should just toss April (and its associated weather) off the books altogether when it comes to control stats - like some of the pitchers listed above, Meccage sits at 14 BB's through 15.1 innings. Let's revisit this organizational trend around Memorial Day. Oh yeah, the bats. No Luis Pena, Braylon Payne, Eric Bitonti, Daniel Dickinson - rest for all, in particular being cautious with Pena, surely. The bottom five in the order contributed, on base five times, and scoring four runs while driving in four. But my oh my, not even Paul Skenes (OK, don't be silly, Jim) could have quieted this group Friday night: VIDEO: Josiah Ragsdale RBI single That quartet finished 9-for-16 with five walks, while both scoring and driving in seven runs. Thankfully the 80-minute rain delay at the start was lifted because Brewers fans needed this game on this night. Quad Cities comes to Appleton starting Tuesday. I see multiple folks on the socials pondering how quickly they need to get themselves to Timber Rattlers games to enjoy this collection of players. Personally, I think you've got time, as fans tend to be promotion-anxious, but then again, to ensure you see each and every one of the current crop of kids, yeah, next week seems prudent. Tayden Hall not moping after being returned to Wisconsin after a brief necessity stay in Biloxi: If you haven't noticed, MiLB is showcasing highlights a bit differently this year, and at the bottom of each affiliate home page, you'll find video highlights, so it's via that route we give RF Luis Castillo's double it's due here. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Delmarva (Orioles) 7, Wilson 2 Box Score and Game Log Delmarva Claims Third Straight over Wilson - Warbirds Manage Four Hits in Loss Rightly ruled a single (close decision), but it's too often we say within these reports "here's your lone Warbirds highlight": OK, not quite, as MiLB also provides these views: Catcher Luis Corobo backpick at second base Pedro Ibarguen sacrifice fly RHP Tanner Perry inherited a bases-loaded, one-out situation from southpaw Andrew Healy in the 5th, and immediately a ground ball single allowed two runs to cross. Perry really buckled up after that, saving Manager Eddy Morgan's bullpen with 3.2 innings of work. In fact, because Perry picked off a runner in that 5th inning, he is credited with getting 11 outs despite only facing ten batters overall. Better early-season results were expected from starting RHP Carlos Carra after he made his way to the Carolina League late in 2025 as an 18-year-old. The Mexico native has struggled with command in each of his four appearances (two starts), the recurring theme of today's report, it seems. Right-fielder Handelfry Encarnacion and center fielder Pedro Ibarguen randomly swapped positions to start the 3rd inning, no clear evidence of any fielding struggles in the prior frames. Catcher Luis Corobo was on first base via error to start the 4th when Luis Lameda singled to right. For subscribers, you can watch here at the 03:02:45 hour/minute mark as the game's start was delayed by rain. It was very apparent that Corobo injured his right hamstring area when he was pulled from the game. Corobo turns 19 in a week and has impressed in limited action both offensively and defensively, as was noted by the Delmarva announcer. Now we move to the bottom of the 4th. Again, kudos to the Delmarva PxP guy, as he was acutely aware of Wilson's roster status, noting that the starting first baseman was Eric Martinez, one of the three catchers on the Wilson roster. When Corobo exited, Yannic Walther had to come in from the bullpen to take over behind the plate, having already caught prior games in this series. With two outs in the 4th, an infield single by the Shorebirds placed runners at first and second (03:27:00 hour/minute mark). On the play, shortstop Juan Ortuno and second baseman Luis Lameda collided trying to collect the grounder, with Ortuno taking the brunt. Thankfully both players remained in the game. To begin the bottom of the 5th, Jadyn Fielder replaced Martinez as the first baseman. The "injury delay" in the game log's 4th inning had prompted me to pull up the video thinking it was related to Martinez. That's when I saw the infield play described above. It was correctly surmised that Martinez was needed to work as the bullpen catcher given the Corobo exit. The Warbirds have had only one official in-season transaction (RHP Enniel Cortez to the IL on 4/18), but one would think a backstop from Maryvale could be flying to Salisbury, Maryland today. NOTE: I (and perhaps you) learn that "Delmarva" is not a city in and of itself but is solely a peninsula divided among three states: Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Wisconsin has a noontime Central matinee Saturday, while the Sounds play two in Charlotte as of 3:05. Biloxi and Wilson have evening starts in the 6:00 hour. Hope everyone has a fine day.

On a night when the Rattlers rolled, the win column was empty elsewhere. Transactions: Milwaukee Brewers optioned RHP Carlos Rodriguez to Nashville Sounds. Milwaukee Brewers recalled 3B Tyler Black from Nashville Sounds. Milwaukee Brewers recalled LHP Shane Drohan from Nashville Sounds. CF Jordyn Adams assigned to Nashville Sounds from Biloxi Shuckers. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Charlotte (White Sox) 11, Nashville 9 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Leonard Homers Twice in Loss to Charlotte - Sounds, Knights Combine for 20 Runs and 17 Hits As you might imagine in such an affair, that Sounds game summary is loaded both in positive and negative ways. Devour every morsel. This is Eddys Leonard's age 25 season, yet it's his 9th professional campaign - well, 8th, because of 2020. It made plenty of sense for the Brewers to target Leonard (pronounced Lee'-oh-nard) as a minor league free agent and entice him with a big-league camp inclusion. Yet, Leonard saw only 17 plate appearances before he was dispatched early-on to minor league camp, despite a 6-for-15 line, .526 OBP. All six spring knocks were singles, but the infielder/outfielder was coming off a 2025 AAA season in which he slugged 20 home runs among his 42 extra-base hits. In other words, it would have been nice to have seen a bit more this spring. Watch the first bomb here. Leonard has not spent significant time at shortstop since the end of the 2023 season - 22 games in '24, only one in '25, and none with the Sounds. With Nashville, he has as many errors at second base (three) as games played there. Scroll down to the "Minors Career" section of his MiLB Player Fielding Page and you'll see some cantankerous error totals vs. games played at the three infield positions. Manager Rick Sweet has primarily utilized Leonard in left field (he was the designated hitter Friday night). So, while Leonard has had fine early-season moments with the Sounds, he likely isn't a big-league fit for the Crew at this moment. There's no disguising Coleman Crow's line, and these were three poorly executed pitches taken out for tanks by left-handed bats. Crow also walked four. This was a shocking comedown off Crow's fantastic MLB debut. As was mentioned in our nightly forum game thread: After allowing a game-tying homer and 2 walks (the latter on a full count ABS challenge which extended the inning), the Sounds discussed and elected to let Crow continue at 87 pitches. That choice didn't work out: 3-run homer. Crow exits at 91 pitches, allowing 8 earned runs. At least there's only one more road trip to this launching pad scheduled, that'll be in July. Why was OF Jordyn Adams rushed up to Nashville from Biloxi? Because for now, he's the only spare position player available beyond the one backup catcher. Apparently, Luke Adams is back soon (hand injury) and if Luis Matos clears waivers, things will populate again. Luis Lara reached base three times for a second consecutive night after a mini 1-for-15 dry spell (Lara RBI single). Cooper Pratt's 7th inning line drive single snapped an 0-for-17 skid, though he also walked earlier in the game. Jett Williams was 4-for-4 in SB attempts through six games. Over his next 16 games, he only attempted two steals, one successful. He stole his 6th base on the season Friday while batting 5th in the order (two singles), played center field. Oh, we see you Brian Fitzpatrick, we definitely see you, and so do the Brewers, hopefully. Fitzpatrick impressed whenever he was called upon as a visitor to big-league camp this spring - 6.2 scoreless innings, one walk, seven K's. His ERA is still spotless after an additional 10.2 frames this AAA season, two walks, 11 K's. Wow, Shane Smith. I utilized a ton of keystrokes singing your praises in 2025. Yikes. We'll end on a Brock Wilken high note. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Rocket City (Angels) 8, Biloxi 5 Box Score and Game Log Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - Added recently were Manager Mike Guerrero (from Friday) and newcomer OF Mark Coley II Shuckers Fall to Trash Pandas on Friday - O’Rae, Burke extend on-base streaks, Jimenez continues scoreless streak We're guilty of accentuating the positive to an extreme at times, but when it comes to key fielding errors, the affiliate game summaries are even more discreet. The Trash Pandas jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the first with a two-RBI single from Tucker Flint, an RBI single from Harold Coll and a throwing error that allowed Flint to score. First Coleman Crow, now Jaron DeBerry? The game summary blurb just above didn't point out (nor would we necessarily expect it to) that DeBerry's night began walk-walk-walk-infield single-single-ground out complicated by Blake Burke's throwing error-DeBerry pickoff error. Likewise, Nashville's summary noted a key fielding error but didn't name the player (Freddy Zamora). It's a minor point of contention, and to be honest, your box score reviews will provide those details to you. DeBerry has now issued more free passes (16 BB's, 3 HBP's) than innings pitched (18.2). RHP Patricio Aquino didn't fare any better coming in behind DeBerry and has handed out 11 passes of his own in 10.2 innings. The subtitle in the game summary referred to this, but to expand the note - RH reliever Edwin Jimenez has only allowed one baserunner over six innings, fanning seven over his four appearances. Mike Guerrero's bench is once again only one deep beyond catchers. Navigating the dance of balancing all the MiLB rosters is a fun exercise for us armchair farm directors, but in reality, it's super-challenging. You'll find three highlights this AM on the Biloxi 'X' feed. Final highlight showcases the mini mayhem that Dylan O'Rae's speed can produce. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Wisconsin 11, Fort Wayne (Padres) 3 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Rattlers Smash Their Way to Fourth Straight Win - Wisconsin scores eleven runs on eleven hits to beat TinCaps Talk about salvaging the night for the Brewers organization! Offense in a moment, but kudos to the RH trio of Bryce Meccage, Bryan Rivera and Chandler Welch, walking only two (both by Meccage, one HBP by Rivera) and fanning 10. Meccage only needed 66 pitches to get through five innings. and save for one pitch, was very effective. Perhaps we should just toss April (and its associated weather) off the books altogether when it comes to control stats - like some of the pitchers listed above, Meccage sits at 14 BB's through 15.1 innings. Let's revisit this organizational trend around Memorial Day. Oh yeah, the bats. No Luis Pena, Braylon Payne, Eric Bitonti, Daniel Dickinson - rest for all, in particular being cautious with Pena, surely. The bottom five in the order contributed, on base five times, and scoring four runs while driving in four. But my oh my, not even Paul Skenes (OK, don't be silly, Jim) could have quieted this group Friday night: VIDEO: Josiah Ragsdale RBI single That quartet finished 9-for-16 with five walks, while both scoring and driving in seven runs. Thankfully the 80-minute rain delay at the start was lifted because Brewers fans needed this game on this night. Quad Cities comes to Appleton starting Tuesday. I see multiple folks on the socials pondering how quickly they need to get themselves to Timber Rattlers games to enjoy this collection of players. Personally, I think you've got time, as fans tend to be promotion-anxious, but then again, to ensure you see each and every one of the current crop of kids, yeah, next week seems prudent. Tayden Hall not moping after being returned to Wisconsin after a brief necessity stay in Biloxi: If you haven't noticed, MiLB is showcasing highlights a bit differently this year, and at the bottom of each affiliate home page, you'll find video highlights, so it's via that route we give RF Luis Castillo's double it's due here. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Delmarva (Orioles) 7, Wilson 2 Box Score and Game Log Delmarva Claims Third Straight over Wilson - Warbirds Manage Four Hits in Loss Rightly ruled a single (close decision), but it's too often we say within these reports "here's your lone Warbirds highlight": OK, not quite, as MiLB also provides these views: Catcher Luis Corobo backpick at second base Pedro Ibarguen sacrifice fly RHP Tanner Perry inherited a bases-loaded, one-out situation from southpaw Andrew Healy in the 5th, and immediately a ground ball single allowed two runs to cross. Perry really buckled up after that, saving Manager Eddy Morgan's bullpen with 3.2 innings of work. In fact, because Perry picked off a runner in that 5th inning, he is credited with getting 11 outs despite only facing ten batters overall. Better early-season results were expected from starting RHP Carlos Carra after he made his way to the Carolina League late in 2025 as an 18-year-old. The Mexico native has struggled with command in each of his four appearances (two starts), the recurring theme of today's report, it seems. Right-fielder Handelfry Encarnacion and center fielder Pedro Ibarguen randomly swapped positions to start the 3rd inning, no clear evidence of any fielding struggles in the prior frames. Catcher Luis Corobo was on first base via error to start the 4th when Luis Lameda singled to right. For subscribers, you can watch here at the 03:02:45 hour/minute mark as the game's start was delayed by rain. It was very apparent that Corobo injured his right hamstring area when he was pulled from the game. Corobo turns 19 in a week and has impressed in limited action both offensively and defensively, as was noted by the Delmarva announcer. Now we move to the bottom of the 4th. Again, kudos to the Delmarva PxP guy, as he was acutely aware of Wilson's roster status, noting that the starting first baseman was Eric Martinez, one of the three catchers on the Wilson roster. When Corobo exited, Yannic Walther had to come in from the bullpen to take over behind the plate, having already caught prior games in this series. With two outs in the 4th, an infield single by the Shorebirds placed runners at first and second (03:27:00 hour/minute mark). On the play, shortstop Juan Ortuno and second baseman Luis Lameda collided trying to collect the grounder, with Ortuno taking the brunt. Thankfully both players remained in the game. To begin the bottom of the 5th, Jadyn Fielder replaced Martinez as the first baseman. The "injury delay" in the game log's 4th inning had prompted me to pull up the video thinking it was related to Martinez. That's when I saw the infield play described above. It was correctly surmised that Martinez was needed to work as the bullpen catcher given the Corobo exit. The Warbirds have had only one official in-season transaction (RHP Enniel Cortez to the IL on 4/18), but one would think a backstop from Maryvale could be flying to Salisbury, Maryland today. NOTE: I (and perhaps you) learn that "Delmarva" is not a city in and of itself but is solely a peninsula divided among three states: Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Wisconsin has a noontime Central matinee Saturday, while the Sounds play two in Charlotte as of 3:05. Biloxi and Wilson have evening starts in the 6:00 hour. Hope everyone has a fine day.
