  1. NOTE: Am told Burgos will be on the hill trying to keep his team alive Friday night in Game Six.

  3. Venezuela Box Thursday 1/28 Congrats, Hernan Perez! Perez doubled and walked in five plate appearances (one run, one RBI) in an 8-2 win, as his Aragua team won the Venezuelan Chmpionship Series, 4-2. Brewers 40-man roster OF Ramon Flores (Luis Sardinas trade) is still rehabbing an ankle fracture, but he's been tweeting up a celebration storm for his club, including this celebration video after the road victory. Perez played wire-to-wire this winter (since October), so a trip to the Caribbean Series is a real reward for him. I expressed my disappointment tonight on the broadcast situation for the Caribbean Series. SCHEDULE: Series starts Monday February 1st Josmil Pinto didn't play here as Perez' teammate. *** On a side note, newly acquired OF Rymer Liriano was a teammate of Domingo Santana and Ariel Pena this winter in the Dominican Republic, and saw action in the final series that saw the Licey team come up one winning series short of a Caribbean Series slot. *** On Friday, the Puerto Rico Championship Series continues, with Yadiel Rivera one win away and Hiram Burgos two wins away, respectively, from netting a Caribbean Series spot themselves.

  5. I would like to believe the post above somehow contributed to that decision. It didn't, but maybe, just maybe?
  6. Via the Brewers -- OF Rymer Liriano has been acquired from San Diego for minor-league LHP Trevor Seidenberger (Baseball Reference page). OF Shane Peterson designated for assignment.
  7. Liriano had recently been DFA'd... Prior "go get him" article via BrewCrewBall Someone would need to come off the 40-man roster.

  10. Actually, their Aragua team was home again in the 2-3-2 format, and yes, the home team won again, as after a 6-1 victory, Perez and Pinto are just one win away from reaching the Caribbean Series, leading the series, three games to two. Venezuela Box Wednesday 1/27 Perez started again at third base, batting 7th, and had a fine night -- 2-for-3 (triple, walk, run). Pinto did not play. *** Puerto Rico Box Wednesday 1/27 It was a good news / bad news night for SS Yadiel Rivera. The good news was his Santurce team won 3-2, and now leads its Best-of-Seven Championship Series three games to two. The bad news? Not only was Rivera 0-for-4 at the plate with two K's (one run scored when he reached on a wild pitch after a K), but this also: FIELDING E: Rivera, Y 3 (3, fielding, throw, fielding). Mayaguez Bottom of the 4th T. J. Rivera flies out to left fielder Ruben Sosa. Dylan Cozens reaches on a fielding error by shortstop Yadiel Rivera. Dylan Cozens advances to 2nd, on a throwing error by shortstop Yadiel Rivera. Those two errors on one play led to both opponent runs (unearned). A later error was not as painful.

  15. Have it on good authority that when Baseball Prospectus releases their Top 101, four Brewers will be listed (one within the Top 50, OK, you know that one), and three within the back half. Won't steal any more of BP's eventual thunder other than to mention that info for now.

  17. The last time we posted about Brewers Latin American signings this offseason was back on December 2nd. Please review that post now for a refresher on the four signings we learned about up to that point if you think you missed it then. Once again, we have little more than a name to go on, but apparently the Brewers have signed Dominican catcher Luis Avalo to a contract (Twitter). Guessing that Avalo is the young man with the catching gear on in this photo, but that's not a guarantee. The signing occurred early enough, we believe, that there should be some tidbits in the upcoming media guide. He'll be a name to look for when the Dominican Summer League begins play. And with any luck, we'll look back on this post when Avalo is your 2021 Opening Day starter behind the plate, after a blistering minor league career.
  18. Puerto Rico Box Tuesday 1/26 Huge 4-3 13-inning win for SS Yadiel Rivera's Santurce club (Rivera was 1-for-5 with a walk). The best-of-seven is now tied at two games apiece. Will be interesting to see if RHP Hiram Burgos is needed for a Game Seven for Team Mayaguez. Either Burgos or Rivera will be playing in the Caribbean Series. *** In the Dominican, Team Licey has been eliminated from their best-of-nine, five games to one. So the winter seasons of RHP Ariel Pena, OF Domingo Santana, and catcher Rene Garcia are formally complete. No current Brewers will be representing the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean Series. *** Hernan Perez and Josmil Pinto hit the road for Game Five of their Best-of-Seven Venezuela Championship Series Wednesday night.
  19. Latest Rattler Radio podcast with Kyle Lobner Always a worthwhile listen via Chris Mehring's blog...
  20. Night off in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico... Venezuela Box Monday 1/25 Hernan Perez, playing third base, reached three times in his team's 6-2 home win that evened the League Championship Series at two games apiece (home team has won each game thus far). Perez was 2-for-3 (walk, run, stolen base).
  21. All AUDIO via WTMJ's Sports Central (Mon. 1/25) with host Greg Matzek -- Craig Counsell Corey Knebel Jeff Cirillo *** AUDIO 1/25 via MLB.com: "The Brewers brought back veteran pitcher Chris Capuano. Brewers reporter Adam McCalvy joins MLB.com's Dave Raymond to break down where he'll fit into their rebuild and spotlight two top prospects, Orlando Arcia and Brett Phillips." *** AUDIO 1/25 via WSSP's Hot Stove Weekly Show: Tim and Sparky are joined this week in studio by former Brewer the "Bulldog" Ken Sanders for the full hour. *** AUDIO via Brian Cain Peak Performance: Derek Johnson – Building Mental Toughness in Pitchers "In this podcast, former Vanderbilt Baseball pitching coach Derek Johnson shares strategies for helping pitchers compete one pitch at a time and reach their maximum potential through mental conditioning." Stumbled upon that last one, recorded while Johnson was still at Vanderbilt and hadn't joined the Cubs as their minor league pitching coordinator as of yet (or most recently the Brewers as big league pitching coach), but if you're deep into pitching philosophies, worth your while...
  22. AUDIO via WSSP Monday AM 1/25: Adam McCalvy joins the Chuck and Wickett Show *** AUDIO via the Bill Michaels Show Monday 1/25: What is there to look forward to in a rebuilding year for the Brewers?
