BETHANCOURT, ORF NAMED TO 2018 PCL TRIPLE-A ALL-STAR TEAM Catcher Christian Bethancourt and Infielder Nate Orf Will Represent the Sky Sox in Columbus, Ohio At Triple-A All-Star Game Congrats, guys! Will Bethancourt still be with the Brewers' organization on that night?

From Wednesday -- OK, so clearly it was a rare instance this morning where I didn't even make an attempt to be non-transparent about a time crunch. If the game score itself didn't tempt you to check out the summary and notes, then hopefully the first paragraph I should have included for you this morning will. The Sky Sox won a wild one in game three against the Memphis Redbirds Wednesday afternoon, 9-8. After going down 7-0 initially, Colorado Springs rallied late to tie the game 7-7 in the seventh inning, before going down 8-7 in the top of the ninth, ultimately winning 9-8 via a bases-loaded walk-off balk. So click away now... *** VIDEO via the Sky Sox: Tyrone Taylor comes up big in the late innings

AUDIO via Matt Pauley's Brewers Extra Innings Podcast: "The Brewers continue to not just lead the NL Central but hold the best record in all of the National League but there are some areas that could still use some improvement. The offense is still looking for consistency with the bottom of the order struggling. Recent injuries have not helped either. Does the club need to do anything or does the fact that they have such a good record prove that they can withstand their offensive inconsistencies? Matt is joined by Tom Kurtz of "Reviewing The Brew" to discuss that and more. The Brewers Double-A affiliate in Biloxi recently clinched a playoff spot by winning a first half division championship. The Shuckers radio broadcaster Garrett Greene also joins Matt to give an update on the team." Enjoy the full podcast, but for the focus of this particular Minor League Forum, the Biloxi discussion with Garrett Greene begins at the 42:15 minute mark.

Article link, with pertinent info below As for the Gatemen pitching, Wareham received another good start from Joey Matulovich who finally record his first victory of the season in his fourth outing. Matulovich allows one unearned run over five innings while striking out six. Sneddon did not believe Matulovich was his best tonight, particularly saying that he lacked fastball command. However, Sneddon knew Matulovich would find a way to grind out a good start. “I don’t think he was real sharp tonight, but I think it was enough to keep him off balance. He gave up a run which is fine, but he battled,” Sneddon said. “He knows how to battle. He’s a mature young man and just came back without his best stuff and still was able to pitch and that’s what pitchers need to be able to do.” Don't read into the "first win" comment, starters don't often go five innings in this league's early schedule, the 6'3" Matulovich did Wednesday. Davis Daniel was focusing on his fastball, and it was a consistent 93-94 from a tracking report I saw, discussion I overheard. Not a lot on their own pitching mechanic specifics, but if you check my Twitter timeline for June 27th / 28th, you'll be able to follow along with my evening on the Cape. Tremendous luck that the one evening that worked perfectly into my schedule featured the two pitchers on opposing clubs both taking the mound in the same game, in the most convenient Cape locale for me. Weather cooperated. Didn't even have to miss a big league Brewers game.

Final: DSL Brewers / Indians 5, DSL Cubs #1 Squad 4 Two consecutive one-run wins over the Cubs' #1 Squad for the now 7-14 co-op team, nice! Box Score / Game Log 18-year-old 2nd-year SS Elian Gonzalez singled and walked, scored a run (one throwing error). The other three Brewer bats combined to go 0-for-10 with a sacrifice fly. 18-year-old 2nd year OF Alejandro Marte could not improve on his career .305 OPS (52 at-bats). No Brewers pitchers appeared in this game, yet somehow only four runs were allowed.

Final: DSL Brewers 2, DSL Mets #2 Squad 1 Box Score / Game Log The men waited until the last minute. DSL Brewers Bottom of the 9th Oswel Leones strikes out swinging. Carlos Rodriguez singles on a ground ball to right fielder Jeison Rodriguez. Andres Melendez walks. Carlos Rodriguez to 2nd. Pitching Change: Juan Martinez replaces Jefferson Escorcha. Offensive Substitution: Pinch-runner Victor Vargas replaces Andres Melendez. Luis Silva grounds out, first baseman Jorge Martinez to pitcher Juan Martinez. Carlos Rodriguez to 3rd. Victor Vargas to 2nd. Alberis Ferrer singles on a line drive to left fielder Ezequiel Pena. Carlos Rodriguez scores. Victor Vargas scores. Unlikely hero in 17-year-old SS Alberis Ferrer, but darn if he didn't come through. RHP Wilmy De Jesus and LHP Jose Alberro combined to walk five plus one HBP, but allowing only three hits and striking out nine clearly limited the damage. Alberro walked 40 in 37.1 innings in 2017, but the 20-year-old has turned a corner this summer.
