    Box: Wisconsin 8, South Bend (Cubs) 4 Pre-Game Media Notes (download) - Via the new Timber Rattler Virtual Press Box Rattlers Rally Past South Bend for 8-4 Win Two big innings erase early Cubs lead to send Wisconsin to victory By Chris Mehring *** Awesome flip, Je'Von! *** Since overcoming an odd bout of extreme wildness in late May/early June, RH reliever Evan Reifert is duplicating his early-season success with Carolina, 54 K's in 34.1 IP on the season. *** We see you, Joe Gray Jr.

    Box: Biloxi 13, Mississippi (Braves) 1 Pre-Game Media Notes Top Three In Shuckers' Order Drive Biloxi To 13-1 Victory Brewers’ #1 Prospect Garrett Mitchell Records Three Hits, Four RBI By Garrett Greene It's a shame MiLB isn't doing split season standings this year. Go Shuckers! *** TWEET: Garrett discusses Garrett Ryan Aguilar (first base in this one) may be hitting .117, but anytime you score four runs, you're going to get a mention.

    Box: Jacksonville (Marlins) 9, Nashville 3 Pre-Game Media Notes Sounds Doomed Again by Late-Game Drama Late Rally Not Enough as Sounds Fall in Jacksonville *** If you wish, there's plenty of lowlight video off the media portion of the Jumbo Shrimp Twitter feed. Unfortunate couple of errors by Weston Wilson at second base in the fateful 8th, hardly his natural position. Third baseman Zach Green committed two throwing errors earlier in the game. LHP Quintin Torres-Costa has had a rough season. He'll be a minor league free agent this fall. RHP Alec Bettinger should be on other team's trade radar, continues to maintain a wonderful K-to-BB ratio with the Sounds (54-to-10 in 47.2 IP). But even smart organizations won't be able to sell his 13.50 MLB ERA to fan bases, even if it's a tiny ten-inning sample influenced by his MLB debut disaster in Los Angeles.

    Next up - 17-year-old catcher Eric Martinez, RH bat, 6'0", 175. Like others, all we know for now. We'll have too much fun through the years (hopefully) with the name Darling Solano (17-year-old RHP). Also another 17-year-old RHP Jesael Cabrera. Keep on accumulating, and there will be breakouts eventually. The quality of names on these international signings continues to impress, the latest: 20-year-old RHP Braudin Ciprian - at 6'2, 220, that's solid if not "braud" 18-year-old RHP Hamlet Vasquez, listed at 6'3", 175 Latest is a catcher: 6'1" 175 lb. RH hitter Brayan Oropeza

    Box: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 3, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 1, seven innings Only one hit allowed by the three "Team 1" pitchers, although they combined to walk seven and hit a batter. One could argue that the four "Team 2" pitchers fared better, walking only one, and two of the three runs allowed were unearned. Pro debut for Team 2 RHP Henrison Mota, a just-turned 18-year-old Dominican native. Also a pro debut for Team 1 RHP Arielbi Gonzalez, likewise an 18-year-old from the Dominican Republic. The game's lone extra-base hit was a double for the winning Crew, by 18-year-old 3B Alberto Ciprian, a Dominican signing off to a nice debut season start (.944 OPS, 32 AB's).

    DSL Giants Orange 5, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 4, seven innings It was 4-4 after two frames. Only three of the nine combined runs were earned, eight errors in the game, five by the Cerveceros. Home run #2 for Jackson Chourio, oh yeah, fire up the $1.9 million 17-year-old. Speaking of 17-year-olds, Venezuelan 2B Jadher Areinamo had three hits, including a double to lift his OPS to .902 after his first eight pro games (one BB, 4 K's in 29 AB's).

    DSL Brewers #1 Squad 6, DSL Cubs Red Squad 0, seven innings Three pitchers combine for a two-hitter. The heavy lifting done by 18-year-old (young 18, too, May) Dominican RHP Patricio Aquino, who has begun his pro career with eight scoreless (16 K, two BB's). Sassy molassy territory. Aguino did hit two batters here, but c'mon. *** 18-year-old rookie Venezuelan CF Jose Gonzalez singled three times, stole a base, and scored three runs. 17-year-old Dominican RF Luis Castillo, a LH bat, singled twice, walked, and drove in a run. We talk about unique names here quite a bit, but "Jose Gonzalez" and "Luis Castillo" are pretty MLB standard. They won't mind in the show someday. *** 85 degrees, sunny, 1 MPH wind. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Plenty of stats, an answer to a listener question, a preview of the next T-Rat Talk, and comments from Korry Howell and Manager Matt Erickson." *** VIDEO Tweet via @BrewersPD: David Hamilton thievery

    Box: Biloxi 4, Mississippi (Braves) 2 Pre-Game Media Notes Palma's Pinch-Hit Single Delivers Shuckers' 4-2 Win Biloxi Wins Fourth Straight, Take Series From M-Braves By Garrett Greene *** When Lucas Erceg pitches, it's a two-man bench for the Shuckers, one being the backup catcher. So Alexander Palma's pinch-hit appearance was indeed huge. Brice Turang walked twice after we pointed out it had been a while. Best part of this game, Brewers fans - Justin Topa. Garrett's note *** Old friend Hunter Morris abandons his Auburn roots? Good gig, though. Alabama Baseball Hires Hunter Morris as Assistant Coach Morris previously served as assistant coach of UT-Martin, where he was able to recruit at a high level as well as improve the team's power hitting

    July 7, 2016: Milwaukee Brewers traded 3B Aaron Hill and cash to Boston Red Sox for 2B Wendell Rijo and RHP Aaron Wilkerson. June 16, 2018: Milwaukee Brewers traded IF Wendell Rijo to New York Yankees (PTBNL for C Erik Kratz).

    Box: ACL Brewers Gold 6, ACL Royals Blue 3, seven innings "Hedbert!" 2-run HR in the 1st, he would later walk. Rehabbing Mario Feliciano doubled, walked, scored twice, and drove in two. Caught the whole game (two stolen bases against, one throwing error). 19-year-old LF and Dominican Republic native Eduarqui Fernandez hit his first stateside home run (hit 11 in 266 AB's in the DSL in 2019). Brewers have $1.1 million invested in him. 23-year-old RHP T.J. Shook, who looked strong in three Mudcat starts to begin this season, allowed one home run in his two inning rehab debut. *** Based on the four rookie level game updates, you all should have a sense of how critical the development of Latin American farmhands will be to the future of this organization.

    Box: ACL Brewers Blue 7, ACL Dodgers 4 Oh my, Erys Bautista The 19-year-old switch-hitting 1B (and occasional corner OF) smacked three home runs, driving in four. Bautista was signed for $500,000 out of the Dominican Republic as part of the July 2018 signing class. 18-year-old Venezuelan 3B Jheremy Vargas maintained his 1.088 OPS with a home run of his own, as we all pencil in his RH bat at the hot corner in 2026. Rehabbing infielder Antonio Pinero continues to toy with this league's pitchers and hopefully brings that stroke with him to higher levels eventually. 18-year-old Venezuelan catcher and Top Ten Pipeline Brewers prospect Jeferson Quero singled twice, drove in a run, and now is 3-for-3 in SB attempts on the young season. Important relief work over the final 4.1 scoreless innings by 20-year-old Venezuelan RHP Wilkerman Chourio and soon-to-be 22-year-old LHP Karlos Morales (2017 25th round pick).
  20. Jim Goulart
    17-year-old rookie Venezuelan SS Jadher Areinamo had a big day, 4-for-5 two doubles, three RBI. His countrymate, recently-turned 18-year-old RF Eduarh Colina was 3-for-4 (HR, two singles, HBP). Yet another Venezuelan first-year player, 1B Yesbel Herrera, 18 as of last May, homered, singled, and drove in three. OK, it was a Venezuelan party, as prized top signing 17-year-old CF Jackson Chourio continues his heat-up (HR, double, walk). It was the first pro taters for each of Colina, Herrera and Chourio, a day the teenagers will always remember. *** Excellent start by 18-year-old Nicaraguan RHP Jared Albir. Wrapping up was 19-year-old Dominican RHP Waldin Rodriguez in his pro debut.
  21. Jim Goulart
    More combined fine pitching peripherals (one walk, nine K's). Two wild pitches, one HBP mixed in. Until the final play, a Luis Castillo (17-year-old Dominican LH-hitting RF) single that broke a 4-4 tie, the three-run game-winning rally did not feature a hit. Rookie ball!

    Box: Carolina 7, Down East (Rangers) 6 Pre-Game Media Notes Micro Brews Rally For 7-6 Win Carolina erased an early four run deficit to defeat the Wood Ducks and even the current series at two games apiece Excellent write-up as always, and a note that two Carolina bullpen mates were high school teammates. AUDIO: Manager Joe Ayrault Post-Game Interview *** Top six in the lineup all reached at least twice. This offense can be relentless. What if triple-digit flame-thrower Abner Uribe (three wild pitches, two of them run-scoring) dialed it back just a notch? *** VIDEO Tweets via the Mudcats: "Sheesh" is an appropriate reaction here for Ernesto PHOTO and VIDEO: Love both, baseball is so cool in this way New battery energizes *** VIDEO Tweet via @BrewersPD: Another look at Felix Valerio's Wednesday grand slam

    Box: South Bend (Cubs) 6, Wisconsin 4 Pre-Game Media Notes (download) - Via the new Timber Rattler Virtual Press Box South Bend Outlasts Wisconsin 6-4 Cubs take early lead and hold on to beat Rattlers By Chris Mehring Uneven rehab start for RHP Dylan File, whose final line was somewhat salvaged by LHP Arman Sabouri stranding three baserunners for him. Although as you'll hear below within the podcast, it wasn't all that ugly. Timber Rattlers walked nine times, and base-on-balls magnet Hayden Cantrelle (0-for-5) didn't have any of them. RH reliever Taylor Floyd continues to shine. *** *** AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "The Timber Rattlers and the South Bend Cubs battled for nearly four hours on Thursday night before the Cubs won 6-4. Chris Mehring and Kyle Lobner look for the positives for the Rattlers in a game where the teams combined to lead 30 runners on base, hit 4-for-28 with runners in scoring position, and ...well....lots and lots of stuff." *** VIDEO Tweet via @BrewersPD: RHP Carlos Luna montage from Wednesday (*swoon*)

    Box: Biloxi 5, Mississippi (Braves) 4 Pre-Game Media Notes Homers From Aguilar and Turang Vault Shuckers To 5-4 Win Diaz Drives In Deciding Run For Biloxi By Garrett Greene *** Short bench even shorter? Gabriel Garcia last played on the 16th. ALL WET: LHP Nick Bennett allowed no hits and just one unearned run in his 4.1 inning start, but didn't like his wild pitch, six walks and two HBP's. Click the link. Chad Spanberger was 0-for-4 with two K's coming off his huge night Wednesday. In that game, he raised his admittedly struggling OPS from .592 to .682 (in one game, 53 games into his season!). *** VIDEO: Brice Turang's home run Bally Sports pointed out that Turang has stopped walking, one of his usual calling cards. He now has not drawn a free pass in his last 13 games. *** VIDEO Tweet via the M-Braves: How is Wendell Rijo still only 25? Do you remember the details of the July 2016 trade in which he was acquired by the Crew? How about the June 2018 deal in which he was shipped out? Answers at the end of this Link Report.
