  1. More thorough Maryvale notations later this AM, but for now: "Blue" after a walkoff loss No golden ticket to a win here, either
  2. Catch up with an early-days Link Report staple, "the Hurricane" Longtime Louisville Bat Hernan Iribarren gets new role in Reds organization Time with Bats helped Iribarren become bench coach with Billings Mustangs
  3. Box: Rocky Mountain 7, Ogden 2 Alternative box includes inning-by-inning linescore Four-run Vibes 2nd inning, never looked back... *** AUDIO Highlight and notes from the Voice of the Vibes, Mitchell Vareldzis *** It doesn't appear we have a Vibes' game summary as of this post time. At the box link, see which three pitchers combined to fan 11 while walking only one. And as Oprah would say to the position players, "You get a base hit! And you get a base hit!" Four got two. And five extra-base knocks among them all. Dig in.
  4. Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes *** Pre-Game Audio Interview via the Mudcats' Soundcloud: "RHP Christian Taugner talks about his complete-game shutout in game one of Friday night's doubleheader against the Keys." *** Box: Carolina 8, Frederick 3 SS Devin Hairston 3-for-4 among other players with fine evenings... Ryan Aguilar Stays Hot as Mudcats Complete Sweep of Keys Aguilar reached base five times and went 2-for-2 with three RBI in the sweep clinching victory VIDEO Tweets via the Mudcats' Home Game: GIDP's aiding LHP Aaron Ashby Tristen Lutz really heating up *** Confirmation of the 99 MPH heat for 28-year-old former Rangers' farmhand Justin Topa
  5. San Antonio Pre-Game Media Notes *** Box: San Antonio 5, New Orleans 2 Drew Smyly, Bubba Derby, Jay Jackson - sweet work. Grisham, Dubon, Spangenberg, Freitas and Stokes combined to reach base 13 times. Fun box score. Missions Gobble Up 'Cakes Smyly Shines in Missions Debut
  6. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes *** Box: Wisconsin 5, Beloit 4 Look past 21-year-old Gabriel Garcia's .216 batting average (17 doubles, eight home runs, .352 OBP, can't look away from the 73 K's, however). Wisconsin Wins with Late Rally Rattlers beat Beloit 5-4 with three runs in the eighth inning By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers *** *** AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "In tonight's postgame podcast, Chris Mehring and Kyle Lobner talk about Wisconsin's fast start, slow middle, and big finish for the win over Beloit. They will go over a few stats, other details, and a quick look at the other full season teams in the Brewers system, too. Then, hear from Justin Jarvis, Matt Erickson, and Gabriel García."
  7. Brewers may be polishing up a hidden gem in pitching prospect Johan Belisario A minor league free agent signing before the season, he is having a stellar year for the Shuckers By Kyle Lesniewski, BrewCrewBall.com
  8. Box: Biloxi 3, Mississippi 1 My goodness, few saw this coming for RHP Alec Bettinger back in April. Ninth-Inning Rally Hoists Shuckers Over M-Braves Hummel's Go-Ahead Triple Gives Shuckers Third Straight Win By Andrew Chapman / Biloxi Shuckers *** MiLB.com provides the overnight feature treatment, including video: Shuckers' Bettinger puts up seven zeros Brewers right-hander allows three hits, walk, strikes out 10 Duane Cross, MiLB.com *** Brewers may be polishing up a hidden gem in pitching prospect Johan Belisario A minor league free agent signing before the season, he is having a stellar year for the Shuckers By Kyle Lesniewski, BrewCrewBall.com
  9. Brewers' Futures Game rep has roots of his power revival in St. Louis Derrick Goold, St. Louis Post-Dispatch This is among the gold standard (no pun intended off the Cardinals' beat writer's last name) for feature articles. Goold informs us what Devin Williams thought he was going to be told about when he learned of his Futures Game assignment, but also his development, Tommy John travails, current repertoire (100 MPH) and so much more.

  11. Via the Mudcats: The Brewers today reinstated OF Rob Henry from the Carolina IL and placed INF Trever Morrison on the Carolina IL.
  12. Nate Griep Promoted to Triple-A San Antonio Catcher Robie Rojas Added to Shuckers Roster in Corresponding Move
  13. Chris Mehring has done his part in his game summaries, but I've been very lax with my "DVR Alerts". Saturday's Timber Rattlers game will be televised on CW-14 in Northeastern Wisconsin and on My-24 in Southeastern Wisconsin starting at 6:30 PM. Schedules: CW 14 to broadcast 15 Timber Rattlers games in 2019 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Swing for the Fences in 2019 on My24 Sports

  15. Happy 22nd Birthday to my 2018 Cape Cod League scouting subject (surely I convinced the Brewers to make sure they got him signed!) RHP Joey Matulovich. I allow Toby to join in my Joey-fandom as we await an eventual assignment to Wisconsin (or at least Rocky Mountain). http://www.milb.com/images/664771/generic/180x270/664771.jpg *** Also celebrating today is 18-year-old Maryvale infielder Luis Silva, brought stateside after just one DSL season.
  16. http://www.brewerfan.net/images/store/dailylinkreport.jpg Organizational Scoreboard including starting pitcher info, game times, MiLB TV links, and box scores Dominican Summer League Scoreboard (includes DSL Brewers/Indians game) *** Links for affiliate audio *** Standings and sortable stat pages *** MiLB.TV options: Carolina and Wisconsin home feeds, San Antonio and Biloxi road; Rocky Mountain unavailable.
  17. Maryvale splits with Oakland rookie clubs. Toby fills you in, just a bit later this AM. For now: Blue falls to 6-9 on the young season Gold improves to 5-10
  18. San Antonio Pre-Game Media Notes *** Box: San Antonio 6, New Orleans 5 Hernan Perez played second base, 0-for-5 in the cleanup spot in his Missions debut. Travis Shaw singled in addition to his two monster home runs. Never stop splicing your own highlight plays, Mauricio Dubon. You won't have to do that in the big leagues, MLB will do it for you (hopefully the Brewers despite your big-time trade chip value).
  19. Box: Biloxi 3, Mississippi 0 Shuckers Quiet M-Braves For Second Straight Win Rasmussen, Belisario and Ponce Slice Through Mississippi Offense By Andrew Chapman / Biloxi Shuckers A combined ten K's and no walks for the three mound men here, sweet. Wonder what would happen if the MLB / AAA baseballs were introduced to the humid air of the AA Southern League. Guessing they would still fly, but it'd be interesting to see the impact.
  20. Box, Game One: Carolina 2, Frederick 0 Box, Game Two: Carolina 6, Frederick 5 Taugner Tosses Complete Game Shutout; both Aguilar & Lutz Homer in Twin-Bill Sweep Details galore from Greg Young, saves me several keystrokes here. *** Multiple VIDEO Tweets via the Mudcats: Payton Henry RBI Game One single Tristen Lutz with the howitzer, has a chance to be a classic productive big league right fielder RHP Christian Taugner's shutout mound day Lutz and Henry figured "Hey, it worked in Game One" RHP Matt Smith handles the comebacker (in slo-mo) Tristen goes oppo Check out the cinematography on this Ryan Aguilar blast - nicely done, Mudcats staff!
  21. Box: Kane County 3, Wisconsin 0 Cougars Hold Rattlers to One Hit in 3-0 Win Lujano's single in the first is Wisconsin's only hit By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Wow, that two-run Cougar 5th had RHP Logan Gillaspie snake-bit (Rattler pun intended), as Chris describes. Jesus Lujano now 15-for-17 in SB attempts, big improvement from his 8-for-14 Helena effort last year. I think we underplayed the rough patch Brice Turang had in June: OPS by Month: April - .831 May - .802 June - .599 Not worried.
  22. Box: Ogden 6, Rocky Mountain 4 Alternative box includes inning-by-inning linescore Three-run Raptor 8th spelled trouble... Vibes Fall as Raptors Keep Rolling with Sixth Straight Win *** Infielder Luis Avila, who got off to an 0-for-19 start (where he currently stands) has not played since June 26th. Avila pitched in one game this season, I double-checked the date, it was not his last appearance prior to the idle time, so it's not a Jose Canseco-like pitching injury. RHP Carlos Luna continued his career-long pattern of impeccable control (a career interrupted by Tommy John surgery and associated rehab setbacks). 10th round Texas Tech RHP Taylor Floyd made his pro debut -- enjoy the moment, young man, despite the mixed results: Ogden Bottom of the 8th Pitching Change: Taylor Floyd replaces Karsen Lindell. Jeremy Arocho called out on strikes. Andy Pages walks. Sam McWilliams called out on strikes. Andy Pages steals (3) 2nd base. Brandon Lewis homers (1) on a fly ball to right center field. Andy Pages scores. Mound Visit. Pitching Change: Jackson Sigman replaces Taylor Floyd. Ryan Ward homers (2) on a fly ball to right center field. Sauryn Lao pops out to right fielder Micah Bello.
  23. Box: DSL Brewers 11, DSL Cardinals "Red" Squad 9 Sixteen hits for the good guys. The 16-13 Cerveceritos have a respectable .263 team batting average and .351 OBP, nestled about a third of the way down the league standings. 17-year-old rookie second baseman and Mexico native Sebastian Burciaga singled four times and drove in three. He's on a nine-game hit streak that also includes two three-hit games. He's played only second base thus far in 16 games (four others as DH, as he was here, batting 3rd). Three others reached base three times. Another 17-year-old (turned 17 last month), rookie Venezuelan catcher Jhonnys Cabrera hopefully got the ball back from his first professional home run. One of those box scores you can have fun poring over -- baserunning, fielding, good and not-so-good there, and we haven't mentioned the middling pitching lines. Enjoy as you wish.
  24. Box: DSL Cubs #1 Squad 2, DSL Brewers/Indians 1 Co-op team outhit the Latin-based Cublets 11-5, but: Team RISP: 1-for-12. Team LOB: 11. 18-year-old 2nd-year Dominican RHP Deybi Arias only allowed one run in three innings, following up a fantastic start by an Indians hurler, but it was enough to be saddled with the loss. Player development: In his rookie season last year, switch-hitting Dominican infielder Francisco Gonzalez posted a .394 OPS (not a misprint). Through 62 AB's in 2019, the now-19-year-old sports a .323/.386/.435 line (.821 OPS) after a three-run game here. Quiet otherwise as five position players were Indians, 2nd-year Brazilian corner outfielder Vitor Watanabe was on base twice via single and walk.
  25. Via Brewers' Player Development: (Biloxi) RHP Aaron Kurcz has been traded to Los Toros de Tijuana of the Mexican League in exchange for cash considerations. *** Kurcz had been pitching in Mexico when he was able to catch the Brewers' attention via self-posted online video. There is likely more salary awaiting Kurcz there, this may be doing him a favor in that regard.
