Enjoy a bit of rodeo, then some Helena outfield "D":

Non-drafted Florida International infielder Eddie Silva, 22, who crushed Helena to the tune of a .361/.410/.556 line in 72 AB's, joins Wisconsin. Catcher Brent Diaz activated from the 7-day DL for the Timber Rattlers.

Just a day after being activated from Carolina's 7-day DL, catcher Nathan Rodriguez is placed on the team's Temp Inactive List. SS Trever Morrison and OF Rob Henry get promotions to Carolina from Wisconsin, they are taking the roster spots of corner IF Wes Wilson and OF Joantgel Segovia, each hitting the 7-day DL. Wilson in particular had been red-hot. Despite losing three in a row, the Mudcats are just 2.5 games out of qualifying for the postseason. Wilson's loss will sting.

Monday's Game -- HR # 17

Maryvale was impacted by the dust storm "haboob's" that hit much of Arizona. Photos from Maryvale, not necessarily the Brewers complex. Or maybe it was a primate.

DSL Cubs1 Top of the 4th Jonathan Rodriguez called out on strikes. Albert Hinirio singles on a ground ball to center fielder Reidy Mercado. Flemin Bautista pops out to first baseman Luis Valderrama in foul territory. With Pablo Aliendo batting, Albert Hinirio steals (6) 2nd base. Pablo Aliendo flies out to left fielder Bryan Dimas. DSL Cubs1 Top of the 5th Defensive Substitution: Vitor Watanabe replaces left fielder Bryan Dimas, batting 1st, playing left field. *** Dimas exits after making the catch. Injury precaution, we'd imagine.

Final: Kane County 7, Wisconsin 4 Cougars Rally To Top Rattlers By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers *** You just read about it, now see why the final out was a gut-buster... *** AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "Chris Mehring & Kyle Lobner discuss a few of the turning points in the game and bring up a few statistical points before heading to the clubhouse for comments from Matt Erickson, Christian Taugner, and Tristen Lutz." *** Box Score / Game Log Tough to find anything extra worthwhile to point out here beyond Lutz' night highlighted above, to be honest.

Final: Albuquerque 11, Colorado Springs 5 SKY SOX FALL LATE TO ISOTOPES IN FINAL GAME OF SERIES *** Box Score / Game Log So had to watch to see what in the world happened here -- three shortstops in a blink of an eye: Col. Springs Bottom of the 4th Rymer Liriano singles on a ground ball to left fielder Noel Cuevas. Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Andres Blanco replaces Jake Hager. With Andres Blanco batting, Rymer Liriano caught stealing 2nd base, catcher Anthony Bemboom to shortstop Daniel Castro. Andres Blanco hit by pitch. With Aaron Brooks batting, Andres Blanco caught stealing 2nd base, catcher Anthony Bemboom to shortstop Daniel Castro. Aaron Brooks called out on strikes. Albuquerque Top of the 5th Andres Blanco remains in the game as the shortstop. Noel Cuevas singles on a soft ground ball to second baseman Jonathan Villar. Defensive Substitution: Nate Orf replaces shortstop Andres Blanco, batting 8th, playing shortstop. First of all, no news was given on why Jake Hager was lifted, at least at the time; perhaps it was revealed later in the broadcast. The Andres Blanco HBP was in the back, but it wasn't why he eventually exited. When Blanco was caught stealing, it was awkward and he certainly appeared to tweak a knee, and was gimpy as he returned to the dugout. On the infield single up the middle to open the top of the 5th, Blanco was visibly still hurting as he ranged over, so they pulled him. *** More drama later in the game, I didn't stick around for the broadcast -- Ejections: Colorado Springs Sky Sox Hitting Coach Dave Joppie ejected by HP umpire Clay Park (6th); Colorado Springs Sky Sox Manager Rick Sweet ejected by HP umpire Clay Park (8th)

Recently-signed RHP Jeff Ames transferred from Colorado Springs to Biloxi. *** RHP Jon Olczak placed on the 7-day DL at Biloxi. Just Sunday, the Biloxi game summary included this note: In the bottom of the seventh, LHP Brad Kuntz walked the bases loaded and departed with one out, bringing in Jon Olczak. The 24-year-old induced an inning-ending 5-4-3 double play, preserving the Shuckers lead. Olczak has now inherited 22 base runners this season without allowing one to score. Wow!

Went back and watched the MiLB archive, if you do so, go to the 04:55:30 hour/minute mark (long rain delay). There was a foul ball back into the dirt that bounced up and into Nottingham. Initially he went down in a crouch that made everyone think he took it in the "boys", so to speak. But then it became apparent the trainer was treating his right arm. Eventually Jacob walked off, Bandy came in, and hopefully it turns out to be nothing more than a contusion.

Final: Colorado Springs 7, Albuquerque 2 BLANCO'S GRAND SLAM LEADS SKY SOX TO SECOND-STRAIGHT VICTORY *** Box Score / Game Log Coaching staffs love losing a starter after just one inning to a rain delay, staff going to be disjointed for a few days now...

Josh Fuentes grounds into a double play, shortstop Jake Hager to first baseman Andres Blanco. Mike Tauchman out at 2nd. Daniel Castro singles on a line drive to center fielder Tyrone Taylor. Defensive Substitution: Jett Bandy replaces catcher Jacob Nottingham, batting 6th, playing catcher. Ryan Metzler singles on a line drive to shortstop Jake Hager, deflected by pitcher Tristan Archer. Daniel Castro to 2nd. Jan Vazquez called out on strikes.
