Saturday 8/2: Postgame Shows after the 8-2 win over the Nationals: WTMJ with Dom Cotroneo - Jerry Augustine is Dom's guest 97.3 The Game with Tim Allen and crew Locked on Postcast with Brandon Sneide - "Offense Stays Hot, Woodruff Shines | Division Lead Expands!"

I'm aware we promote reading the game summaries incessantly within our Link Reports (me in particular), but the Sounds media team does a fine job here in detailing the team's recent offensive woes. It's very reminiscent of the parent club getting shut out six times in the first 17 days of May (yes, that really happened and wasn't fun at the time). With Bryan Hudson and Elvis Peguero in DFA limbo, the Sounds' staff was not in need of a scheduled doubleheader. Since it was on the road and the club lost both games, at least they only needed to cover 12 innings. Chad Patrick did his part; Tobias Myers did not. Best record in baseball and Joel Payamps, Hudson and Peguero were all removed from the 40-man roster. Myers' rough outing forced Garrett Stallings into the game, and it seems more likely Stallings would have taken a rotation turn this weekend if not needed here. If Henderson is plucked today, Manager Rick Sweet may similarly pluck his moustache out in roster anxiety. Bobby Dalbec sat out both games, any extended absence for him would complicate things for the Sounds. Remember this guy? Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Pensacola (Marlins) 1, Biloxi 0 Box Score and Game Log Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives Peterson, Bullpen Dazzle but Shuckers Fall to Pensacola in Pitcher's Duel - Shuckers lefty sets season-high with 4.2 innings, Bowman extends scoreless streak to 11.2 innings LHP Mark Manfredi was part of the "bullpen dazzle" mentioned above, and his is among the interviews linked. Mike Boeve fanned in all four trips to the plate and looks to be in real trouble. He has K'd in 60 of his 247 plate appearances (24.3%) with the Shuckers coming back from labrum surgery this spring. Boeve struck out nine times in his entire college draft year, albeit in the Horizon League, still Division I. Who is the recent bat beyond naturally gifted Jackson Chourio that the Brewers have truly guided from acquisition, to deep-into a development success story? They can't take full credit for Isaac Collins. It's been a decade-long lament. I've got to believe that other MLB organizations are feeling the 165-man stateside roster limit pinch with gutted benches on their affiliate rosters, the Brewers can't be the only ones with quite-often only a singular position player reserve option at multiple levels nearly every night. Looking forward to the infusion of the three Top 10 college position player picks into full-season ball, which should kick off a chain of moves - 1st round corner infielder Andrew Fischer, 6th round INF Danny Dickinson, and 7th round OF Josiah Ragsdale. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Lake County (Guardians) 7, Wisconsin 2 Box Score and Game Log Captains Sail Past Timber Rattlers - Wisconsin commits five errors in 7-2 loss Enter at your own risk - at least we don't see "every" error: Win or lose, ugly or not, the podcast is always worth your time - here's your 11-minute version that includes Manager Victor Estevez: Kudos to RH starter Tanner Gillis and SS Eduardo Garcia. Garcia remains an interesting follow to see if he'll re-sign with the Crew, or whether he reaches minor league free agency in October at a very young age, not even 23 and a half years old. Unfortunately, you have to really squint at this position player group, which has pretty-much been static all season, to wonder how many will ever reach AA, never mind later this season. That sounds harsh, I realize, but it's a challenged collection offensively. Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Augusta (Braves) 12, Carolina 4 Box Score and Game Log Augusta Takes Third Straight from Mudcats Have not researched to determine why RHP Bryce Meccage went only two innings, 37 pitches (24 strikes), facing only ten batters. Crossing fingers. The three Mudcat pitchers walked seven and plunked four patters. LHP Bjorn Johnson added two wild pitches to the mix. This was the very first full-season game for Venezuelan catcher Kevin Garcia, who just turned 18 years old on July 20th, less than two weeks ago. He doubled and singled twice and played clean defense, even if he couldn't quite guide the arms to better results, hard to fault the young man there. Josh is incredible - Wind-aided or not, this oppo taco is impressive! When the Chicago Tribune takes note of the Illinois native even when he plays for the "rival" Brewers, that's impressive. It's a $1 paywall feature article, but I do provide one tip for a "free look" at this forum link. Not sure about your thoughts, but no need to rush Brice Turang into a contract extension that would block Mr. A. from taking over second base full-time in 2028-2029 and then holding it for the next decade beyond that. Jesus Made and Luis Pena were both on the bench here, and with limited home games in Appleton the rest of the way, the ticket-sellers in T-Rat Land are getting anxious. Filippi Di Turi (on base three times) and Eric Bitonti (on twice) tried to make up for the dynamic duo's absence. The GreenJackets "X" feed shows that team taking advantage of pitches from Meccage and Bryan Rivera. Final: DSL Brewers Blue 14, DSL Cleveland Mendoza 3 Box Score and Game Log Final: DSL Brewers Gold 5, DSL Braves 3 Box Score and Game Log There are nice DSL insights within three consecutive posts at our daily forum running thread here. In fact, the full thread has commentary that supplements this report well should you wish to read through. Would love to be watching a big-league Brewers game in five years and referencing folks to this post when we noted that impressive 17-year-old Nicaraguan native RHP Diustin Mayorquin retired all 12 men he faced while continuing an impressive debut season. The same six affiliates see action Saturday. Enjoy another summer weekend, everyone - darn, August already!

When the Chicago Tribune takes note of the Illinois native even when he plays for the "rival" Brewers, that's impressive. This feature article focuses on Adamczewski's mindset but is very much worth the one dollar it'll take to get a year-long subscription, whether you then immediately drop it or set a reminder to do so. One tip - I was able to do a print from my desktop browser within the first few seconds before the paywall prompts, you have to be very quick. Take that, technology!

Regalado was activated from the restricted list this week, perhaps as some paperwork wrapped up? We'll likely see his debut in the coming week.

Catcher Eric Haase was added to the initial post in this thread after his outright assignment to Nashville post-DFA. Haase would have forfeited his MLB salary had he not accepted the assignment.
