  1. The two Maryvale clubs did not face off after all, with rain pushing them to a makeup date of Saturday the 21st.
  2. DSL Brewers #1 Squad 12, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 10, nine innings (scheduled for seven) Of course the rare offensively-charged DSL game comes as the two Crew teams square off. It was tied at 6-6 at the end of regulation. Each team scored three runs in their "ghost runner" 8th. There were four HBP's in the game, that doesn't seem very friendly. Ten of the 12 inherited runners were stranded, so that's something by the mound men. But also mix in eight wild pitches and a balk. 19-year-old rookie Venezuelan RHP Michael Perdomo has struck out 26 and walked just three in eight games (17.1 IP), so one to watch. Just-turned 18-year-old Dominican RHP Henrison Mota is yet to allow a hit (two walks, one HBP) in five brief outings. Between the teams, four extra-base hits (two doubles for 17-year-old LH-hitting LF Yeison Perez and four stolen bases (two by 18-year-old Dominican CF Mendy Ferreira). 17-year-old Venezuelan SS Pedro Riera walked four times and now has a fun .122/.379/.171 line in 41 AB's. A bit Yelich-like, no? I'll see myself out. Recently-turned 17-year-old Venezuelan catcher Felipe Valderrama, batting 3rd, reached base all five times up. Even after all that, his line is .184/.259/.204 (49 AB's), so safe to say Saturday was a career day for Felipe. Both teams now 12-11 on the season (standings). Safe to say breaking down that box score is 20 minutes of my life I won't get back...
  3. The Mudcats announced that LHP Brendan Murphy goes to the Carolina injured list.
  4. Via the Sounds' Jeff Hem: "Brewers announce they've signed RH Colin Rea as a minor league free agent and assigned him to the Sounds. He's expected to start tomorrow in the series finale here in Louisville. Most recently he'd been pitching in Japan."
  5. @BrewersPD indicates that Meeker has reported to Carolina.

  8. Congrats to 23-year-old LHP Brandon Knarr (103 K’s in 75 IP w/Carolina) on his promotion to Wisconsin, as per Chris Mehring's media notes. Another Brewers undrafted signee moving up the system.
  9. Whew! Eleven games, no worries. My OT pay rate is off the charts.
  10. Box, Game Two: DSL Phillies White 3, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 0 Crew hurlers only allowed two hits but walked six. A reminder that even 19-game samples are very small. Mendez, as the DH in Game Two, was 0-for-4, and saw his OPS drop 70 points to .903. But we cling to those stat lines, don't we? When 17-year-old 2B Gregory Barrios doubled in the 1st inning, it represented the two DSL teams only extra-base hit in their four Friday games.
  11. Box, Game One: DSL Phillies White 3, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 1 Crew pitchers allowed six hits and eight walks in six frames, so the final score is deceivingly close. However, future big league rotation mainstay Patricio Aquino, a true 18-year-old (May birthday) out of the D.R., still has a 0.00 ERA after his first five pro starts (20.2 innings). Eleven walks, 28 K's. Just four singles and one walk on offense, although future big league CF Hendry Mendez, the precocious LH-hitting 17-year-old, walked and singled to boost his already gaudy OPS to .973. LF Luis Castillo was HBP in the 3rd, remained in the game, but was subsequently caught stealing, at which point he was then lifted.
  12. Box, Game Two: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 1, DSL Mariners 0, eight innings (scheduled for seven) Walk-off win! Nicaragua, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic represented on the mound in the shutout. Again just three singles and two walks on offense (11 K's), but put it in the books for the good guys to go over .500 at 12-11. After the Mariner Men did nothing with their ghost runner, the #2 Crew pushed the winner across without a base hit (sacrifice fly for 18-year-old Venezuelan third baseman Alexander Perez).
  13. Box, Game One: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 3, DSL Mariners 2 Future big league closer, recently-turned-18-year-old Dominican RHP Henrison Mota, listed at 6'3", 195, has made four pro appearances. In five innings, he has yet to allow a hit (one BB, one HBP) for a tidy 0.20 WHIP. *Should HBP's factor into WHIP? Of course, but then the acronym would get messy. Three Cerveceros singles, five walks, and one HBP was enough offense to squeak out the win.
  14. Box, Game Two: ACL Reds 6, ACL Brewers Blue 1 In 14 innings between the two games, Blue bats managed two runs (one earned), eight hits, three walks, and fanned 18 times. Gold and Blue face off against each other Saturday in Maryvale.
  15. Box, Game One: ACL Reds 5, ACL Brewers Blue 1 In May of 2019, Carvajal underwent right labrum surgery. More than two years to get on a mound. Unfortunately Carvajal could not navigate the first inning, but damn it, congratulations kid, you're a pro pitcher and good luck moving forward. Three of Carvajal's baserunners scored after his exit. 18-year-old infielder Jheremy Vargas and his blistering .958 OPS in his debut 16 July games has a .543 OPS in the small-sample nine August contests.
  16. Gold, Jerry, Gold! Seinfeld fans, do yourself a favor and check out Doug Russell's podcast for his fantastic 23-minute interview with accomplished actor Steve Hytner, aka "Kenny Banya" (and so many other acting stints, IMDb at the link). Hytner was in town for a recent Seinfeld Night with the Timber Rattlers.
  17. Box: ACL Royals Gold 9, ACL Brewers Gold 2, seven innings Bling vs. Bling. It's been a rough Brewers organization debut for 20-year-old Dominican RHP Israel Puello, one of the three RHP's acquired in the David Phelps trade. Puello has made four brief rehab starts, not sure we're aware of the nature of his injury. Offensive bright spot - 19-year-old CF Eduarqui Fernandez - HR (his 3rd), single and walk in three trips to the plate (OPS now .825). Sometimes I try and wrap my head around a $1,100,000 signing bonus for the then-16-year-old Fernandez, or any of the big-money signings, and just wonder about the clubhouse dynamic between all the farmhands with virtually nothing in terms of baseball financials, and the huge money kids. There has to be soething to it, you can't just dance around it all season long.
  18. Box: Down East (Rangers) 12, Carolina 11, eleven innings Pre-Game Media Notes Frelick Hits Leadoff Homer in 12-11 Loss Sal Frelick and Felix Valerio combined for six hits and seven RBI in Friday’s game in Kinston You know when you see a final score like that, the game summary is critical, be sure to take it in. *** Setback for LHP Antoine Kelly in terms of a rough night. Thoracic outlet syndrome surgery is a bear, man, and while we all have faith in Kelly's efforts to fully overcome it, it's going to be a long road with somewhat stacked odds. Carolina coming out party for Sal Frelick, and yeah, pretty sure the Brewers are beyond glee with what they have in Felix Valerio.
  19. Box: Wisconsin 10, Great Lakes (Dodgers) 4 Wisconsin Powers Past Loons Rattlers hit three homers to erase early deficit for a 10-4 win By Chris Mehring LG Castillo has only played in 51 of 87 Wisconsin games as the outfield rotation has been both crowded and talented. But it has thinned out some, and looking forward to seeing him in the lineup most nights. *** Yeah, you want to watch this package. *** Via "The Show" on WSCO (Thursday 8/12): "Chris Mehring (Voice of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers) discusses the movement of players being called up from Wisconsin and also his thoughts on some new guys joining the team" *** AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "Everything clicked for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Friday night. Three Homers. Three Double Plays. Four scoreless innings from the Bullpen for a 10-4 win over the Loons. Chris Mehring & Kyle Lobner discuss the game and more. Then, Joe Gray Jr., LG Castillo, and Bullpen Coach Michael O'Neal join the podcast from the clubhouse."
  20. Copying this from the Friday August 13th Link Report: Garrett Mitchell (link to game logs) missed the last week of July with what was reported as a non-Covid illness. He returned to play in four of the next five games. But now he's been out another full week, having last played on Friday August 6th. Mitchell has played 49 games this year.
  21. Box: Mississippi (Braves) 4, Biloxi 1 Pre-Game Media Notes Hamilton's Homer Breaks Up No-Hitter In Ninth Shuckers Fall 4-1 To M-Braves For Fourth Straight Loss By Garrett Greene *** Garrett Mitchell (link to game logs) missed the last week of July with what was reported as a non-Covid illness.

  22. Box: Louisville (Reds) 10, Nashville 0 Pre-Game Media Notes Sounds Routed by Bats Nashville Suffers a Second Consecutive Lopsided Loss in Louisville *** When an outfield assist is truly the lone highlight, you know it was a rough night. RHP Dylan File only fanned one and did not walk a batter in his 5.2 rough innings. So, in the strike zone, yet hittable. Odd outing...
  23. Via the Sounds media notes, Weston Wilson placed on the 7-day IL (retro to 8/11)
