Ignoring tonight's game, here's a WXXV video from earlier this week -- BILOXI SHUCKERS MIDSEASON REVIEW

Final: Colorado Springs 5, Iowa 0 A night after surrendering 17 runs... SKY SOX BLANK CUBS 5-0 TO BEGIN IOWA ROAD TRIP They're still posting the all-caps heading, but it's justified here . We link, you click, you read, everyone's happy and better off with the knowledge like this surprising tidbit: The Sky Sox stole 100 bases as a team on Thursday night at Iowa against the Cubs. In 2017, the team combined for 99 stolen bags over the entire season. *** Box Score / Game Log Keon Broxton is 20-for-24 in SB attempts. Quintin Berry is languishing on the Helena paper roster. If Broxton isn't up by September 1st, he makes sense as the speed call-up, not Berry. If you can get past the obscene strikeout rate, Broxton's been fine. Nick Ramirez, dual threat. Iowa Bottom of the 6th Lane Adams flies out to left fielder Tyrone Taylor. Mark Zagunis walks. Pitching Change: Nick Ramirez replaces Aaron Wilkerson, batting 9th. Bijan Rademacher grounds into a force out, second baseman Nate Orf to shortstop Brad Miller. Mark Zagunis out at 2nd. Bijan Rademacher to 1st. Victor Caratini singles on a fly ball to right fielder Brett Phillips. Bijan Rademacher to 3rd. David Bote grounds into a force out, shortstop Brad Miller to second baseman Nate Orf. Victor Caratini out at 2nd. Col. Springs Top of the 7th Keon Broxton walks. With Andres Blanco batting, Keon Broxton steals (21) 2nd base. Andres Blanco walks. With Dylan Moore batting, Keon Broxton steals (22) 3rd base. Andres Blanco steals (5) 2nd base. Dylan Moore strikes out swinging. Nick Ramirez singles on a line drive to center fielder Jacob Hannemann. Keon Broxton scores. Andres Blanco to 3rd. Nate Orf grounds into a force out, shortstop David Bote to second baseman Chesny Young. Andres Blanco scores. Nick Ramirez out at 2nd. Nate Orf to 1st. Tyrone Taylor flies out to center fielder Jacob Hannemann.

Final: Cedar Rapids 5, Wisconsin 4 Kernels Top Timber Rattlers to Start Second Half By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Read the fine write-up for context, but we'll mention that Tristen Lutz thankfully stayed in the game: Lutz raced back and reached out for the ball at the wall, but missed the ball and crashed into the wall. Lutz fell to the ground and couldn't get after the ball on the warning track. *** Box Score / Game Log Road woes continue. Starter RHP Christian Taugner no walks, but catching too much of the plate, ten hits in 5.2 innings. Birthday boy Robbie Hitt a nice outing in relief.

Helena press note: MISSOULA — Due to extremely wet field conditions, tonight’s game between the Helena Brewers and the Missoula Osprey has been rained out. Because the Brewers & Osprey do not play again in Missoula in the first half, the game will be made up as part of a double header on June 25th at Kindrick Legion Field. First pitch of the first game is scheduled for 5:30 PM (6:30 Central).

RHP Tyler Cravy released by his independent Atlantic League club, posting poor numbers in nine brief relief appearances.

*** June 21st update -- We learn David is listed at 6'3", 195. Specimen. Right-handed all the way.

From a June 2nd post --

Nunez is listed at 6'2", 171, and is a Dominican native. The 18-year-old should make his debut any day now, as he's been assigned to the DSL Brewers. No formal word yet on the others in terms of assignment or activation. June 21st update: 17-year-old OF Starling Javier is a Dominican native listed at a nice 6'2", 172 - he's the rare position player RH bat and LH arm. He's been assigned to the DSL Brewers non co-op squad.

TWEET from Ramon Perez, the father of fellow Venezuelan farmhand and Maryvale Brewers C/1B Moises Perez, includes this photo of Moises with Julio Mendez, visiting Maryvale to see Brewers medical staff While we can hope that there is a return to the field eventually for Julio, it's great to see him looking well.

Professional mound debut for 5'6" Long Beach State 17th rounder Clayton Andrews, and we'll try to not permanently prefix 5'6" to his name here. Also pro debuts for LH starter Scott Sunitsch (again, as you read). Also 4th round LHP Aaron Ashby and 27th round RHP Brady Schanuel, who will look back fondly on the team win but not much else, as neither completed an inning.
