AUDIO via WTMJ: Doug Melvin on the trade acquisitions He's in Biloxi now...

This story is actually huge news for the town of Viera (city of Melbourne), but an under-reported overall topic is the future of the Manatees. They will be literally homeless (well, without their current home), perhaps as early as after the 2016 season, and it appears certainly after the 2017 season. The Florida State League must have real concerns at this time.

Final: Idaho Falls 8, Helena 5 Chukars win their 6th straight Helena Brewers The Idaho Falls Chukars (6-1) won their sixth straight game with an 8-5 win on Thursday night against the Helena Brewers (2-5) at Kindrick Field. Nate Griep (0-1) struggled in the first innings for Helena, giving up five runs on five hits. Nicholas Dini lined a two-RBI double to score Marten Gasparini and Josh Banuelos to lead the way. It was Dini's eighth double of the year. The Brewers responded to the five-run deficit with runs in the second through fourth innings. Jake Gatewood hit his team-leading 16th double, scoring Steven Karkenny and David Denson on the hit. Malik Collymore added a two-RBI double in the fourth with two outs. Collymore, appearing in just his second game in the Brewers' system, went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI. Helena's scoring would end after the fourth, however, as Josh Staumont (1-0) and Brandon Thomas tossed a combined five innings of shutout relief. The Brewers and Chukars will face off Friday in the second game of their four-game series. First pitch from Helena is set for 7:05 PM (8:05 Central). Helena Box Score RHP Milton Gomez went the longest of the three H-Crew relievers, five innings, two runs. Catcher Milan Post joined Malik Collymore with the lone two-hit games.

Final: Colorado Springs 6, Oklahoma City 3 Clark, Roenicke Lead Sox To 6-3 Win In OKC Colorado Springs' first baseman homers, drives in four to down Dodgers By Ed Pearsall / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/1/1/4/127660114/cuts/05_30_088sm_pk_6dbelfic_ga3x7bci.jpg Josh Roenicke allowed just two runs over six strong innings to help the Sky Sox in Thursday night's 6-3 win. (File photo from prior game by Paat Kelly) The Sky Sox won their second straight contest with a 6-3 defeat of the Oklahoma City Dodgers on Thursday night before a crowd of 5,199 at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Matt Clark and the Sky Sox struck right away when the slugging infielder blasted a two-out, two-run home run over the right-centerfield wall to give to give the visiting side a 2-0 lead against Trevor Chaill (0-3, 6.85) and the Dodgers in the first inning. Sox starter Josh Roenicke (6-8, 5.23) allowed a pair of runs over his six innings of work, allowing five base hits and three walks while striking out three. One of those walks would come around to score in the OKC second when Andy Wilkins scored on a Jose Tabata base knock with two out in the frame. Tabata would hurt Roenicke one more time, driving in the Dodgers' second run of the night in the sixth with a bases-loaded, RBI force out that plated Corey Seager from third. Leading 2-1 heading into the third, Colorado Springs would add another pair of runs on Clark's two-out, two run double, scoring Roenicke and Kyle Wren to extend the Sox lead to 4-1 through three. Cahill allowed one more run before his night was through as Pete Orr drove Wren, who led off the fifth with a triple, home on a sacrifice fly for the Sox fifth run of the night. The veteran right-hander allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six in his five innings on the bump. Each bullpen surrendered a run with Colorado Springs getting to OKC reliever Adam Liberatore for theirs in the seventh on a Domingo Santana RBI knock and the Dodgers tallying their third against Sox righty Rob Wooten in the eighth. David Goforth gave the Sky Sox 1.2 innings of scoreless relief, closing out the Dodgers ninth to give Colorado Springs a 6-3 win over the division-leader in OKC. Goforth's fourth save helped the Sox improve their season record to 45-65 while dropping the Dodgers to 67-45. Colorado Springs will look to keep it rolling as they go for the series victory in game three of this four-game set with the Dodgers on Friday night. With Tyler Cravy earning a call-up to the big club in Milwaukee earlier this week, the Sky Sox will nominate a pitcher for the spot-start early Friday to take on RHP Zach Lee (8-3, 2.26) and the Dodgers with first pitch set for 6:05 PM MDT (7:05 Central) at Chickasaw Bircktown Ballpark. Colorado Springs Box Score Matt Clark homered, doubled twice, and walked, he's scorching in five August games (11-for18 with six extra-base hits and four walks, 1.751 OPS!). CF Kyle Wren has two hits in each of his last four games, and LF Domingo Santana has at least one hit in each game since arriving, 9-for-22 (.409). Colorado Springs Game Log Big double play for David Goforth, stranding Rob Wooten's baserunner -- Okla. City Bottom of the 8th Andy Wilkins pops out to third baseman Matt Dominguez. Austin Barnes doubles (15) on a fly ball to left fielder Matt Long. Scott Schebler singles on a ground ball to center fielder Kyle Wren. Austin Barnes scores. Defensive Substitution: Yadiel Rivera replaces pitcher Rob Wooten, batting 5th, playing shortstop. Pitching Change: David Goforth replaces Rob Wooten, batting 8th. With Jose Tabata batting, wild pitch by David Goforth, Scott Schebler to 2nd. Jose Tabata walks. Darwin Barney grounds into a double play, third baseman Matt Dominguez to first baseman Matt Clark. Scott Schebler out at 3rd.

From Wednesday -- Unless one of dozen or so people in attendance saw something on the field and reported it, probably impossible to know for sure. Either Munoz was scheduled to get a few ABs, or Lara was pulled for injury or frustration. Looks like the latter... Final: AZL Dodgers 8, AZL Brewers 3 Maryvale Box Score RHP Gentry Fortuno doesn't turn 18 until 9/11, but he continues to throw solid ball, one earned run in his four-inning start here; RHP David Lucroy still allowing two many baserunners and not enough clean innings, though... Maryvale Game Log CF Trent Clark was 3-for-5, he's riding a 12-game hit streak (18-for-46, .391, with six walks). Love yourself some Trent Clark, folks. Gilbert Lara by month -- June (1.002 OPS in nine games) July (.537 OPS in 21 games) August (2-for-19 in six games, one double)

Brewers: Minor league lefty Kodi Medeiros living up to first-round status By Dennis Punzel, Madison.com GRAND CHUTE — Bruce Lee or Madison Bumgarner?

Nothing against RHP Josh Uhen (Time Warner Cable's Bob Brainerd's latest Timber Rattlers player profile), but it'll be nice when Uhen earns his way to Brevard, because the UW-Milwaukee product has had more than his share of feature stories as the local guy. That being said, even if you think you've read it before, Brainerd gets so much from his interviewees, there's always some new tidbits, so enjoy...

There's really no better time as a Brewers minor league fan to jump on MiLB.TV, where you can watch games live and/or on archive. While their page is advertising "rest of season" for $29.99, when you consider that a monthly subscription is $12.99, you can buy August and September individually for even less. With a late Labor Day this year, September runs through that second weekend, and you'll want Biloxi playoff action after that. Keep in mind that you get every Sky Sox game (including all Zach Davies' starts), as of Friday 8/6 the rest of the Shuckers' games including all of Josh Hader's and Adrian Houser's starts, and all Timber Rattler home games and two of their road series, plus Helena's series in Idaho Falls later this month. Hey MiLB, where's my commission?
