Box: DSL Pirates Gold 4, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 3, eight innings (scheduled for seven) Pirates scored their ghost runner plus one, Crew could only counter with the ghost run. Just-turned 17-year-old (yes, just turned 17) Venezuelan catcher Felipe Valderrama has now played in 12 games (only a .366 OPS), but had his best pro game here, 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI.

Box: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 10, DSL Tigers #2 Squad 2 Geez Louise, 18-year-old Dominican RHP Patricio Aquino. Four starts, 16 IP, 8 H, 7 BB, 4 HBP, 25 K's, 0.00 ERA - Kid can dodge bullets. Four Cerveceros had extra-base hits in the game, including 18-year-old rookie Venezuelan RF Jose Gonzalez, who doubled twice and added an outfield assist. He sports an .877 OPS after 44 AB's. CF Hendry Mendez and his .991 OPS exited for a pinch-runner after reaching on an error in the 9th; hopefully fine in a blowout game.

Box: ACL Royals Gold 4, ACL Brewers Blue 2, seven innings First pro base hit for 5th round Duke infielder Ethan Murray, playing second base here. Box score quirk -- Sibrian followed immediately by Cipion Not quite as much going on here as the other AZ game, to be sure.

In order -- Doubled on a fly ball to left GIDP (Must be a misprint) HR on a line drive to right Doubled on a fly ball to center HR on a fly ball to right-center Single on a line drive to right Three runs scored, seven RBI *** Congrats to 2021 8th round 2B Zack Raabe on his first two pro hits (also walked). Big nights for 3B Alex Binelas (on base three times), SS Eduardo Garcia - 4-for-6 HR shy of a cycle; and LF Eduarqui Fernandez - 2-for-4, HBP, SB. 2021 1st round CF Sal Frelick singled, walked, stole a base, and had an outfield assist.

Box: Biloxi 10, Pensacola (Marlins) 2 Pre-Game Media Notes Biloxi Blast Four Home Runs In 10-2 Win Over Blue Wahoos Bullock Wins Second Straight Start To Begin Double-A Career By Garrett Greene *** 26-year-old OF Mitch Longo was a bit overmatched (.528 OPS, 55 AB's) in the AAA portion of 2021, but he has raked at Biloxi (.875 OPS, 165 AB's). 25-year-old David Fry has had a solid year in the tough Southern League (yes, I called it that) environment. .818 OPS while playing six different defensive positions, including 20 games at catcher (detailed here). Longo and Fry combined to reach base eight times in this game.

Box: Nashville 12, Toledo (Tigers) 0 Pre-Game Media Notes Aaron Ashby Dominates, Sounds Shut Out Toledo Southpaw Matches Season-High with 11 Strikeouts Yet Ashby didn't get the win! You'll find out why within the summary of this very unique game. *** RHP Justin Topa, inching closer to a big league return, faced just the last batter of the game. A bid odd use there. Video Tweets via the Sounds: 1st Inning Ashby 4th inning Ashby 6th Inning Ashby Elsewhere: Hey, that's former big league Brewers C Juan Centeno! Zach Green says "No No-No for you!" Brice is nice

Found the summary.

Box: DSL Tigers 0, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 0, 1st inning, suspended Well, at least you can see the lineups if you click. There was Tigers walk, a lineout to center, a stolen base, and then the game was suspended with 85 degree sunny skies listed as the reason. Was there an issue with one of the two umpires? Who knows, but I thought that may have been as good a guess as any as to why to abruptly suspend the game.

Box: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 4, DSL Pirates Gold 3, seven innings The Cerveceros trailed 3-0 after one, but a three-run 5th gave them the lead. Three days shy of his 19th birthday, 2nd year Venezuelan RHP Rafael Camacho had a stellar middle relief outing. He stranded two inherited runners, then tossed an additional three scoreless with one walk and three K's. Camacho has yet to allow an earned run in 15.2 innings this season (although he has seen five unearned runs cross the plate). But his 2019 WHIP of 1.86 in 23.2 innings is down to 0.96 in 2021. Rookie 19-year-old Dominican RHP Waldin Rodriguez walked (literally) the tightrope as he got the save, giving out three free passes in a scoreless inning. One young man carried the offense here, and it was this year's big bonus signing, 17-year-old CF Jackson Chourio, 3-for-4, double, two runs scored, two RBI, SB, outfield assist. Lifted his OPS from .590 to .678 in his 14th pro game. Doesn't turn 18 until March.

Athletic subscribers, detailed full article linked below: Please don't copy and paste any additional text from the article, thanks. I likely should not have included even these snippets, but the issue is so important. The Athletic is awesome altogether, Will Sammon, the Crew's Athletic beat guy, is a fantastic read. Their introductory subscriber offers are incredible. Cockroaches, car camping, poverty wages: Why are minor-leaguers living in squalor? Brittany Ghiroli, The Athletic Nashville RHP Luke Barker among those willing to comment on the record. Several players on the Brewers’ Triple-A roster in Nashville piled into a small one-bedroom apartment thinking they struck gold within their budget: instead they found a roach infestation. “It’s not just a Brewers thing or a one-level thing,” said Nashville Sounds pitcher Luke Barker. “This is a systematic thing where it’s seen as OK to let these guys be in unlivable situations. It starts with the salary, but the lack of any help with housing makes it even worse.” Added Barker: “A logical mind can say, it might not seem like a lot of money to fix this, but nobody is making (the teams) do it. That’s the real problem. MLB is not going to do something unless they have to do something.” “With us having no representation, they are allowed to do whatever they want and it’s kind of up to them to find it in the goodness of their hearts to change,” Barker said. “They don’t want to change it. They have no incentive to.” *** We've had several threads on MiLB salary issues over the years, but now the housing issue is coming to a head, it seems. No celebration, however, until a thorough MLB-wide solution is in place. Several clubs have stepped up, as detailed within. Brewers are not listed as a club that has, although we should wait to see if there is any response from the organization. Time to step up, Mark A.!
