  1. Via KPAY 1290: An extended audio chat with RHP Luke Barker The early and final portions of the podcast focus on his pro career, but worth a listen in its entirety
  2. No word yet on why we have yet to see RHP Brandon Ramey pitch. He was one of the three pitchers acquired in the David Phelps trade.
  3. Perth and Brisbane play again Friday evening at 8:00 PM Central, you can watch it here, live and then archived:
  4. Our Thursday, Their Friday (Game Two): Adelaide defeated Brisbane, 1-0 Offense has been tough to come by across the league, but especially for Brisbane. Nick Kahle 0-for-3, three K's, as the DH
  5. Our Thursday, Their Friday: Perth defeated Brisbane, 5-1 Perth: DH Alex Hall 0-for-4, two K's Brisbane: C Nick Kahle, 1-for-3, one throwing error RHP Matt Hardy got the start - 2.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 2 K You can watch Hardy's start in the full game archive below. See Kahle's line drive single at the 30:55 minute mark. (getting closer to the "Kale" pronunciation, but not there yet)
  6. Alex Hall RBI single at the 01:48:00 hour/minute mark (1-for-3 in Wednesday's game - "our" Wednesday):
  7. Thursday 1/14: Via Reviewing the Brew's "Cold Brew Podcast": Latest Episode Via the “Mike Heller Show”: Tom Haudricourt (go to the 01:47:35 hour/minute mark)
  8. By the way, the walk-off loss came on a ball lost in the sun, go to the 11:40 mark:
  9. RHP Michele Vassalotti has allowed only one of the 11 batters he's faced to reach (a walk) in his two appearances Down Under. Highlights from his start today *** Following Vassalotti to the mound was fellow Brewers RHP Paxton Schultz. The two combined for 5.1 IP of scoreless ball. They did their part, but Brisbane would lose in walk-off fashion, 2-1. *** Catcher Nick Kahle had a rough day at the plate, 0-for-3, three K's.
  10. LHP Leo Crawford started Game One of the Nicaragua Winter League finals, but had a rough start (box score). 4.2 IP, 5 H, 6 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 HR His Giants team has lost both games of the best-of-seven thus far, but there is an excellent chance Crawford will pitch another game barring a sweep. *** What was a quiet to non-existent Brewers Winter League campaign in locales like the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Puerto Rico will now be silent, as the teams of Alexander Palma and Luis Castro, our two thread mainstays thus far, failed to reach the Venezuelan League playoffs.
  11. Wednesday 1/13: Via the The Schlank Show Podcast: New Brewers LH reliever (big league cap invite) Hoby Milner Via 97.3 Milwaukee's Drew & KB: Former Brewers RHP Paul Wagner (go to the 01:19:20 hour/minute mark)

The two discuss the slow off-season and whether to expect the Brewers to make any moves of significance, the lack moves being made in the NL Central overall and the future of baseball." Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast
  16. Luis Castro and Alexander Palma's teams faced off in a doubleheader Sunday in Venezuela and combined to go 1-for-10. There were walks and an RBI sprinkled in, I'll let you review the boxes: Game One Game Two
  17. Venezuela on Saturday 1/9 -- Alexander Palma played 1B, 0-for-3, one RBI (OPS .768, 141 AB's) Luis Castro played 1B, 1-for-3, two more BB (second consecutive day on the multiple free passes), one R, one K (OPS .812, 99 AB's).
  18. Still no official word on a revised Australia schedule. *** Venezuela on Friday 1/8 -- Alexander Palma was the DH, 1-for-5 (OPS .784, 138 AB's) Luis Castro played 1B, 1-for-2, two BB, one R, two RBI (OPS .806, 96 AB's). Drove in two with a line drive single to center.
  19. The now-closed 2020 Transaction Thread can be found here. Kicking off the 2021 Transaction Thread -- *** Via MiLB.com, we learn the Brewers have released soon-to-be 24-year-old RHP Daniel Acosta. A native of the Dominican Republic, Acosta was signed in February of 2016 just prior to his 19th birthday. As such, he would not have been a large-bonus signee. Over the next three summers, Acosta would make 53 relief appearances in the Dominican Summer League. Guessing he threw gas, because the Brewers retained Acosta despite the fact he walked 98 batters and hit eight more in 74 innings. Add 39 wild pitches into the mix. Acosta fanned 71 in those 98 innings. Must have been daunting to stand in the box against him. Brought stateside at age 22 to begin 2019 in Maryvale, Acosta made seven Houdini-like relief appearances, posting a 1.08 ERA in 8.1 IP, while walking 11 (one HBP), and throwing five wild pitches in the tiny sample. His final appearance was July 3rd, 2019, and we learned in February 2020 that Acosta had undergone Tommy John surgery on November 7th, 2019. The organization must have guided him through, or at least been medically and financially responsible for a rehab process, but the release notice came through this week after about 14 months on the mend. Good luck to Daniel moving forward, baseball-wise and otherwise. This release is similar in timing to the recent release of RHP Wilber Diaz, who was post-shoulder surgery when the team announced he was let go last month.

  21. Thursday 1/7: Venezuela - Been a while since Alexander Palma had a multi-hit game. Played RF, 2-for-3, double, run, K, before being replaced (box score)
  22. Wednesday 1/6: Australia - Perth's Game One: Alex Hall at catcher, 1-for-3 Watch Hall's line drive single to right at the 09:20 minute mark . *** Perth's Game Two: Alex Hall at designated hitter, 0-for-2, including a groundout to first base against Brewers RHP Matt Hardy *** Adelaide Game (vs. Perth): Matt Hardy with a near-perfect three innings in his start (1 H, o BB, 4 K); the ABL conveniently condensed his nine outs in this video Catcher Nick Kahle started in right field (he had made rare OF appearances, almost all in LF, while at the University of Washington or while playing in the Northwoods Summer Wood Bat League). Kahle was 1-for-4, and you can watch his infield base hit at the 02:23:50 hour/minute mark . *** Perth and Brisbane are both idle on Thursday (U.S. Thursday).
  23. Wednesday 1/6: Venezuela - Alexander Palma played RF, 0-for-3, BB (OPS .778, 130 AB's) Luis Castro played 1B, 1-for-4 (OPS .791, 94 AB's)
