Sad news posted within its own thread here.

Earlier on Saturday, Zach Davies tweeted a link to this worthwhile article, not specifically Brewer-related. For people in baseball, real life marches on away from the field By David Hall, The Virginian-Pilot The article would prove to ring true again later in the day, this time, unfortunately, regarding a Brewer prospect. From the transaction thread on Saturday -- Brandon Woodruff, RHP, placed on Biloxi's temporary inactive list Rarely do we learn what the Temp Inactive List entails -- sometimes there's a new baby to celebrate, sometimes a player has asked to attend a family wedding, sometimes the Brewers seemingly make use of the list to earn "rest" for a member of one of the pitching staffs. But often there's a more sobering reason. Brief video report via WTVA in Wheeler, Mississippi No doubt the Shuckers and the entire Brewer organization will offer comfort to Brandon in the coming weeks and months. Here at Brewerfan, and surely Brewer fans from every minor league outpost and everywhere else, offer our condolences to the Woodruff family.

Another packed house in Maryvale

Final: Helena 13, Ogden 5 Brewers Rout Raptors 13-5 Walters Fans Seven in Four Innings Helena Brewers OGDEN, UT - The Helena Brewers came out swinging on Saturday night at Lindquist Field, opening game of a four game series with the Ogden Raptors with a 13-5 victory that snapped a five game losing streak. The win was the first road victory for the Brewers since June 25 in Great Falls, and featured a welcome combination of timely hitting and effective pitching. Gilbert Lara opened the scoring with a two-out three-run double in the top of the 1st, and Lucas Erceg gave the Brewers a 5-2 lead in the top of the 2nd with a two-out two-run single. The Raptors, however, came back to tie it in the bottom of the 2nd, and the game went into the 4th tied 5-5. That's when the Brewers began a string of eight unanswered runs, the first coming on a Yeraldy Martinez leadoff home run - his 6th of the season. Wes Wilson capped the four run inning with a two-out two-run double, and from that point the bullpen took over. With a 9-5 lead, Santos Saldivar tossed a scoreless bottom of the 4th. Nash Walters (1-0) took over in the 5th. The 19-year-old displayed electric stuff, striking out seven in four innings of work, allowing just one hit and touching 97 MPH on the radar gun. In the meantime the Brewers offense continued to tear up Ogden pitching, adding four more runs, including a two-run home run from Lara - his first of the year. Lara finished the game with five RBIs, he entered the game with just two in his first 22 games this season. Three Brewers - Caleb Whalen, Erceg and Jonathan Oquendo finished with three hits apiece, and eight of the nine starters recorded at least one hit. The Brewers will look to make it two in a row on Sunday when they send out Michael Petersen to start a 4:00 matinee (3:00 Central). Helena Box Score The long-awaited breakout (hopefully) Pioneer League game for Gilbert Lara, nice; CF Caleb Whalen scored four times from the leadoff spot; Lucas Erceg doing Lucas Erceg things at the plate; with the Helena player pages now including photos, we can see why Yerald Martinez is smiling, he's slugging .515 -- http://www.milb.com/images/642453/t433/180x270/642453.jpg Helena Game Log It's been a struggle for 15th round RHP Scott Serigstad. Despite three walks in seven innings, we'll enjoy the description of Nash Walters' night you read above...

Final: Arizona Brewers 9, Arizona White Sox 0 Yeah, this'll work... Maryvale Box Score Guess we should acknowledge the big "8" in the error column for the White Sox kids. Four of the A-Crew runs were "unearned". Still, a nice showing -- as noted above, 20-year-old 19th round JUCO pick Zach Clark, DH'ing in his debut, notched his first pro base hit; 19-year-old 6th round catcher Payton Henry had his best game of the season, 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI; two singles for 3B Chad McClanahan (one caught stealing). Written before a 3-for-4 (plus a walk) effort, including the first pro home run for the 6'3" 18-year-old RH corner infielder. OPS now 1.203 after seven games. One thing about the Puerto Rico-born Garcia is that despite not being 19 until December, he already has a year of junior college under his belt. LHP Christian Trent made his season debut; we don't know what type of injury he's been rehabbing. The 23-year-old 24th round pick in 2015 out of Ole' Miss spent last season (save for one Maryvale outing), in Helena. Four others pitched well in the shutout effort, review the box for the names, please. Maryvale Game Log Weather: 105 degrees, clear. Wind: 6 mph, Out to CF. Payton Henry left after scoring a run in the 6th, but given the game conditions (and a 9-0 score at the time), we'll never question catchers being lifted mid-game in the desert.

Final: Tacoma 7, Colorado Springs 2 Sky Sox Fall 7-2 To Rainiers Sky Sox produce just three hits in third straight loss By Aaron Cheris / Colorado Springs Sky Sox *** Colorado Springs Box Score Disappointing showing for RHP Aaron Wilkerson for sure in this one; at the risk of going all "clancyfile" on you (Suter's biggest fan), LHP Brent Suter has been bumped from one role to another more than any Brewers' AAA pitcher in recent memory - one inning of scoreless middle relief here; if RHP Austin Ross is still pumping mid-90's heat, he'll get more looks in big league spring camp. Colorado Springs Game Log LF Kyle Wren walked twice from the leadoff spot and added a sacrifice fly; 1B Josmil Pinto reached twice; big night for Nori Aoki

AUDIO via Saturday's Biloxi pre-game: RHP Taylor Jungmann Insightful chat conducted by Chris Harris...

All per this Biloxi press release, which you should review -- Mitch Lambson, LHP, transferred to Biloxi from rookie AZL Brewers Omar Garcia, OF, transferred to Biloxi from A+ Brevard County (reported here earlier) Brett Lee, LHP, released from Minor League contract Brandon Woodruff, RHP, placed on temporary inactive list It was just three days ago that Brett Lee was featured for his new sidearm motion while the Shuckers were visiting his hometown of Pensacola. We wish Brett well, the Brewers signed him on May 5th, after his release by the Twins.

AUDIO via Friday's Sky Sox broadcast - Manager Rick Sweet

Should have been called out -- going back to Thursday night in Idaho Falls: IDAHO FALLS, ID - With the game tied 3-3 in the bottom of the 5th, Manny Olloque came to bat for Idaho Falls with runners on first and third and two outs. He grounded a ball to short. Trever Morrison dove, gloved it, and popped up firing the ball across the diamond to an outstretched Ronnie Gideon. Olloque was called safe, Rudy Martin came in to score, and the Idaho Falls Chuckars never looked back, scoring six unanswered runs to defeat the Helena Brewers 9-3 on Thursday night at Melaleuca Field. The looping Vine is mesmerizing as you analyze it, though.
