Final: Idaho Falls 11, Helena 4 Brewers Drop Second Game To Chukars Helena strands 13 men on base for the second straight night in 11-4 loss By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers Garrett has the recap thing down to a science, be sure to give a read even though the final results were ugly. *** Helena Box Score FIELDING E: Franly Mallen 2 (12, fielding, fielding); Brent Diaz 2 (2, throw, throw). Two of the 11 runs were unearned, but that's little solace. In nearly every way, this was a classic Pioneer League box. Helena Game Log As you read in the summary -- "Nicolas Pierre went 2-for-4 with an RBI, his ninth consecutive two-hit game." Offensive environment or not, that's impressive. No stolen base attempts despite 19 of his 23 season hits being singles.

We could do a search and pull up all the posts giving clancyphile a hard time about his Brent Suter #1 prospect obsession, but we don't want to embarrass all those posters. Kudos, Harold, for sticking by your guns.

Yes, Badamo, just recently signed out of indy ball, was bumped up from High-A, apparently just for one spot start (we'll see). Ironically, Badamo is up because Reno's originally scheduled starter, former Brewers farmhand and Arizona's #1 prospect coming into the season, LHP Anthony Banda, is debuting vs. the Nationals tonight, and as I type is through 4 IP giving up only one run. No shame in giving up a Bryce Harper HR on a 3-2 pitch, either.

Here's why former MLB outfielder Michael Choice is headed to Korea Biloxi Sun-Herald Plenty of quotes within...

Via the Rattler Radio Blog Saturday Media Notes: Tucker Neuhaus has been placed on the disabled list. RHP Andrew Vernon has been placed on the temporary inactive list. RHP Alec Kenilvort has joined the Rattlers from the Arizona League. Outfielder Caleb Whalen has been activated from the Wisconsin disabled list." *** Kenilvort is the former Rockies farmhand and recent indy ball signee we introduced you to here.

Final: Idaho Falls 13, Helena 1 Chukars Top Brewers Helena leaves 13 men on base By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers Do follow the link, but we'll copy the positives Garrett managed to highlight -- The Brewers got on the board with a long ball in the fourth inning. Trailing 7-0, Nicolas Pierre started the frame with a solo home run to left, his first of the season, getting the Brewers on the board. Pierre finished 2-for-4 with a home run, an RBI and a run scored, his eighth straight two-hit game. Dallas Carroll also extended his hitting streak to eight games with a single in the seventh, and Milwaukee Brewers third-round pick KJ Harrison stretched his hitting streak to eight games with a single in the third inning. *** Helena Box Score The five Brewer pitchers combined to put 28 men on base -- not a misprint. When your team WHIP is over 3.00 on the evening, well, 'nuff said. Nic Pierre doesn't quite have enough AB's to qualify for a batting tile, but should soon. If he did, his .375 would tie for 2nd, behind a Rockies' prospect at .393. Helena Game Log

Final: Colorado Springs 10, Reno 5, 7.5 innings, rain Seven-Run Sixth Leads To 10-5 Sox Win Orf drives in three while Heineman hits first home run of 2017 By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox Tyler Heineman scored a pair of runs and drove in two runs, including his first home run since June 2016. (Paat Kelly photo) *** Colorado Springs Box Score Taylor Jungmann struggled for the second time in three outings, overall he's had a solid 2017, but out of options, maybe he'll be a throw-in piece in a deadline deal.

Doesn't look like Carolina's making the postseason - yes, it may have been the youngest Carolina team in the league to start 2017, but it just shows the collection of individual talent doesn't always equate to team success. Also, the analysis here of whether many of the individual Mudcats have had successful seasons thus far will continue. It's certainly a healthy debate.
