Here's a December thread we had on this topic.

Final: AZL Cubs 9, AZL Brewers 1 Maryvale Box Score A-Crew managed only five hits, all singles - they committed as many errors. 38th round catcher Robie Rojas singled and walked three times, raising his OBP to .427. Maryvale Game Log 18-year-old 2nd round RHP Caden Lemons made his 2nd pro appearance -- he only faced four batters in his start: AZL Cubs Top of the 1st Carlos Sepulveda grounds out, second baseman Jean Carmona to first baseman Ernesto Wilson Martinez. Jose Gutierrez doubles (8) on a fly ball to center fielder Jesus Lujano. Jonathan Sierra flies out to right fielder Robert Henry. Nelson Velazquez homers (6) on a fly ball to center field.

In order to make room for RHP Cody Ponce in Biloxi, RHP Travis Hissong has been placed on the DL retroactive to 8/20.

No, that would have been covered in the game story, and ejections are always noted in the box score.

Final: Helena 9, Missoula 4 Helena Holds Serve At Home In Victory Five-run inning and excellent recovery from File help Brewers claim series opener with Osprey By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers Lots to digest in the summary, but it's mostly good, so click away! *** Helena Box Score H-Crew is 22-38, so we'll take any win. Tristen Lutz HR # 4 (but you knew that because you clicked ). Helena Game Log

Final: Wisconsin 4, Peoria 3 Gideon Blasts Rattlers Past Peoria Walkoff homer gives Wisconsin a 4-3 win and keeps playoff hope alive By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Yeah, you'll want to consume everything about this one -- summary, video, and a loaded podcast, do make time! *** *** AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "Hear from a happy clubhouse after Thursday's Walkoff Win. Ronnie Gideon, Adrian Houser, Zach Clark, & Matt Erickson all have comments. Plus, Chris Mehring & Kyle Lobner look a little deeper into the ballgame." *** Wisconsin Box Score Overlooked in the two key HR's, the mound work, etc., is that this remains an excellent defensive squad -- Chris & Kyle touched on this, particularly the outfield work, in the podcast.

AUDIO via Wisconsin's Thursday Pre-Game: "It’s Thursday and time for another Chat with Matt. Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Manager Matt Erickson has a few things to say heading into the final game of this homestand. Topics include: Adrian Houser, Josh Pennington, Keston Hiura, 27 outs, and “chomping at the bit”." We learn that Josh Pennington's DL stint is basically a shut him down while he's healthy decision, in not exact words.

Uhen was there last year --

Wisconsin's walkoff win, Helena's victory, and a tough game for Maryvale by early to mid-morning, post to you soon. -- Jim

Final: Colorado Springs 1, New Orleans 0 Sky Sox Shut Out Baby Cakes, 1-0 Five pitchers combine for shutout as Colabello records four-hit night By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox For the second time in 2017, a single run proved to be enough for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox in New Orleans, defeating the Baby Cakes by a 1-0 score in front of 5,557 at the Shrine on Airline Thursday night. Michael Blazek (3-4, 3.47 ERA) led a stout pitching effort, tossing four innings in relief of Brandon Woodruff to help the Sox achieve their ninth shutout of the season. Tristan Archer, Andrew Barbosa and Rob Scahill (Save # 10, 1.19 ERA) combined to shut down the Baby Cakes over the final 2.1 innings. The hosts had a chance of breaking the scoreboard with the game's first run in the second inning. Mike Kickham grounded a two-out single to right field, but Nate Orf threw out Cal Towey at home on a strike to Rene Garcia to keep the score tied at zero early on. The Sky Sox (76-52) broke the deadlock in the sixth inning. Three of the first four batters of the inning reached on singles, capped by Brett Phillips' RBI grounder through the right side of the infield to score Mauricio Dubon. Chris Colabello had a four-hit night from the No. 4 spot in the lineup, his most in a single game since joining the Sky Sox. Colorado Springs and New Orleans meet up at 7:05 PM Central at the Shrine on Airline as the Sox look to inch closer to clinching a spot in the postseason and shrink their current magic number of four. With a win Friday night, the Sox would even the season series with the Baby Cakes at seven with two matchups remaining in the season. *** Colorado Springs Box Score Colorado Springs Game Log No official word on why RHP Brandon Woodruff left after this sequence, 50 pitches in (30 for strikes) -- New Orleans Bottom of the 3rd Peter Mooney grounds out, third baseman Ivan De Jesus Jr. to first baseman Chris Colabello. Christian Colon flies out to center fielder Brett Phillips. Eury Perez singles on a line drive to center fielder Brett Phillips. Brian Anderson hit by pitch. Eury Perez to 2nd. Pitching Change: Michael Blazek replaces Brandon Woodruff, batting 9th. Cal Towey walks. Eury Perez to 3rd. Brian Anderson to 2nd. Grant Green called out on strikes.

Read about CF Pablo Abreu's stateside bump to Maryvale here. *** At Colorado Springs, RHP Junior Guerra goes on the Temp Inactive List to make room for RHP Aaron Brooks, claimed on waivers from the Cubs. *** RHP Adrian Houser is no longer considered (technically) on Tommy John injury rehab. He was transferred from Biloxi's DL to Wisconsin's active roster, as his 30-day rehab period in Maryvale reached its end. To make room on the Timber rattlers roster, RHP Josh Pennington was placed on the DL with an undisclosed injury.

This was my report on Wednesday's Maryvale game -- First of all, nobody commented on my "Bickford smoking the competition" line. But I also failed to point out the stateside debut of 17-year-old OF Pablo Abreu, up from the Dominican Summer League. Pretty darn impressive to make that jump late in your very first pro season at that age (turns 18 in October). So Abreu, who was the top signing of the 2016 July 2nd class at $800,000, joins his signing classmate SS Jean Carmona in Maryvale. Add previously promoted and highly-touted Cuban first baseman Ernesto Martinez to that duo, and those Maryvale boxes become even more "dream-on-future-talent" heavy. In Wednesday's game, Abreu grounded out three times. In his 2nd plate appearance, he walked. One of those groundouts went like this -- AZL Brewers Bottom of the 6th Brent Diaz walks. With Je'Von Ward batting, Brent Diaz steals (4) 2nd base. Je'Von Ward singles on a ground ball to left fielder Andres Martin. Brent Diaz to 3rd. Pablo Abreu grounds into a triple play, third baseman Angel Medina to second baseman Tyler James to first baseman Brady Cox to catcher Josh Lovelady. Brent Diaz out at home. Je'Von Ward out at 2nd. Read more about Abreu and Carmona at this 2016 BrewCrewBall article link.

Final: Arizona Royals 5, Arizona Brewers 3 Maryvale Box Score A-Crew led 2-0 after four innings, but KC's Sunshine Band scored in each of the next four frames. Notable because those first four innings were tossed by RHP Phil Bickford, smoking his AZL competition (3 H, 0 BB, 3 K's). Eventful game for former Red Sox SS Yeison Coca, you'll see as you review the H, R, RBI, BB, SB, and oh no, error columns. Undrafted catcher Brent Diaz continues to roll, 1.073 OPS in 15 Maryvale games, he had found the going tougher in Helena, but hardly hideous there (.686 OPS). 12th round 17-year-old OF Je'Von Ward continues to hold his head above water -- nice debut campaign, young man. A double here, look for more extra base knocks in subsequent seasons. Maryvale Game Log
