Luc's agent in April '15 from this ESPN article, discussing the extension Lucroy signed with the Brewers: "If I would have known, from an industry perspective, that framing would have become as important as it's become, maybe things would have been different," says (Doug) Rogalski, his agent. Last night and this morning is an opportunity for a make-up. I can't imagine Lucroy and Rogalski won't take advantage in some way, they'd be insane not to. Yes, Lucroy would become even more of an instant hero to Cleveland fans if he simply did an instant waive, but you can bet his agent isn't going to miss out this time. You can bet the union is watching as well. The no-trade clause has to serve them some purpose here, even though we know Lucroy is anxious to be Terry Francona's next Jason Varitek caliber championship-trophy-holding catcher.

Final: Arizona Brewers 9, Arizona Indians 3 Brewers & Indians, gee, they're not in the news this AM, are they? Maryvale Box Score Just a really pretty box score - RHP Carlos Herrera pitched six strong; the youngest bats had fine nights - catcher Mario Feliciano, 1B Gabriel Garcia, 3B Chad McClanahan - honestly, this is one of those box scores that you can point to in 4-5 years and hopefully pull it from your memory bank. It's why the biggest Link Report fans enjoy the players' journeys all the way from rookie ball origins... Maryvale Game Log No confirmation by numbers that I have time to look up this AM, but isn't this one of the better defensive Maryvale clubs we've seen? Sloppy games few and far between, rare for this level...

Final: Missoula 21, Helena 12 H-Crew missed two extra points... Osprey Outslug Brewers 21-12 Teams Combine for 36 Hits & Eight Errors By Craig Durham / Helena Brewers MISSOULA, MT - The Helena Brewers led 5-0 after an inning and a half. They finished the game with 12 runs on 10 hits. They lost by nine. The Missoula Osprey put together two separate eight run innings, and downed the Helena Brewers 21-12 in front of 1,494 on Saturday Night at Allegiance Field. Trailing 11-5 after four, the Brewers responded with a six-run 5th inning to tie the game at 11. The highlight of the inning was a Wes Wilson three run home run, his second of the season. Wilson finished the game 2-for-5 with four RBIs. The Osprey scored a run in the 6th to reclaim the lead at 12-11, but Ronnie Gideon's second home run of the night tied it up at 12 with one out in the top of the 7th. Gideon's blast to straight away center field was his seventh of the season - and fourth against the Osprey - but would prove to be the last bit of good news for the Brewers. Missoula scored eight in the bottom of the 7th off Rodrigo Benoit to hand him his first loss of the season. The three game series will conclude on Sunday, with the first pitch of the rubber match set for 5:15pm. Nattino Diplan will be making his first start since rejoining the Brewers opposite Chester Pimentel for the Osprey. *** Helena Box Score Brewer pitchers allowed 30 men to reach base via 26 hits (including six doubles and two home runs), three walks, and an HBP. Mix in five errors behind the arms... Never good when you see these lines in the box -- Fortuno pitched to 6 batters in the 3rd. Romero pitched to 4 batters in the 5th. Helena Game Log Obviously, the bats did some nice things, including the four home runs.

BayBears slip past Shuckers by Doug Barber, Special to the Biloxi Sun-Herald PHOTOS: Tim Isbell has an extensive Biloxi gallery at the link “It never feels good when you lose but it always is good to be competitive,’’ Biloxi manager Mike Guerrero said. “We were able to put together three runs out there. We need to stay competitive. The last six games have all been one-run games. “There is a lot of good things and there are some things to work on (for Jorge Lopez). We know what he is capable and we want to turn him around.’’

Final: Helena 8, Missoula 4 Brewers Start 2nd Half with Win Five Run 4th the Key By Craig Durham / Helena Brewers HELENA, MT - A Nathan Rodriguez three-run blast in the top of the 4th snapped a 4-4 tie and sent the Helena Brewers on their way to an 8-4 victory over the Missoula Osprey on Friday night in Missoula. The home run was the third of the game for Helena, and capped a five-run inning that turned a 4-2 deficit into a comfortable lead. Ryan Aguilar paced the offense with four hits, including a leadoff home run to begin the ballgame, and all nine starters finished the game with at least one hit for the Brewers. Joantgel Segoiva, Ronnie Gideon, Franly Mallen and Trever Morrison all finished the game with two hits, and Rodriguez led the way with his three RBI. Matt Smith survived some shaky defense and three runs in the first, pitching into the 5th inning, coming up just one out shy of his first victory of the season. The right-hander from Georgetown struck out three and allowed just three baserunners over his last 3.2 innings of work. Wuilder Rodriguez (3-1) earned the victory in his second outing of the week after his start got cut short by rain last Tuesday night. Rodriguez absolutely baffled the Osprey offense, not allowing a hit until Bryan Araiza reached on an infield single with two outs in the 9th. Rodriguez struck out three and walked just one. The Brewers will look to make it back-to-back wins to start the series when they send Gentry Fortuno to the hill on Saturday night opposite Pierce Romero for the Osprey. *** ARTICLE: Some additional details in the Missoulian game story, obviously focus is on the home team here *** Helena Box Score Sometimes hacking works! Sixteen base knocks, no free passes for Brewer bats. Also ten K's, but everyone in the lineup touched the hit column, with Ryan Aguilar, as noted above, leading the way. LF Demi Orimoloye and SS Gilbert Lara were each 1-for-5 (singles). Always interesting how first-year college bats including the late-round draft picks are able to excel in the Pioneer League (to the point, we've learned over the years, to almost ignore the big crooked numbers), yet so many second-year high school or second-year stateside Latin kids don't find the same success. Helena Game Log Animal Planet fans, RHP Wuilder Rodriguez'nickname just has to be "beast" right? Think about it... Nice work here by Rodriguez in tandem with starter RHP Matt Smith, who was solid enough.
