  10. From Wednesday's Link Report -- Lubking was kind enough to share: "I've been rehabbing a stress reaction in my left elbow (pre cursor to a stress fracture)." Hopefully he's feeling well this "day after".
  11. Also, the Brewers' Player Development Staff indicated that they had signed non-drafted catcher Bryan Torres and assigned him to the Dominican Summer League team. Like Jay Feliciano, we should see a debut for him shortly. Torres is also from Arecibo, Puerto Rico, although he just wrapped up high school. A left-handed bat, Torres is listed at 6'1", 178, as per his Perfect Game workouts / tournaments. Otherwise, much less is available online on the young backstop.
  12. The Brewers' Player Development Staff indicated (tweet) that they had signed non-drafted OF Jay Feliciano and assigned him to the Dominican Summer League team. We should see a debut for him shortly. Feliciano is from Arecibo, Puerto Rico, so the placement makes sense in that regard. Feliciano will turn 20 years old September 28th. He's a right-handed bat and listed at 6'2", 210. This past spring marked his sophomore season at Southeastern Community College in West Burlington, Iowa. As of June, Cumberland University in Tennessee hailed him as a prized recruit for 2016. by Tommy Bryan, Wilson Post JuCo first team All-America OF -- John Lovretta photo, The Hawk Eye It's safe to say the rebuilding effort has started in earnest at Cumberland University. Coming off a 20-31 season in 2015, CU's Hall of Fame Coach Woody Hunt is hitting the recruiting trail with a vengeance. His first big signee for the 2016 season is Jay Feliciano, a power hitting outfielder from Southeastern Community College in West Burlington, Iowa. A first team All-Amerian for the BlackHawks, Feliciano was also the Iowa Community College Athletic Association Player of the Year and helped lead SECC to a record of 42-18 and a berth in the NJCAA Region XI Tournament. As a sophomore at SECC, he sported a .381 batting average, with 18 doubles, 79 runs batted in and 23 homers. His 23 homers and 79 RBI were good for second and first in the nation respectively. As a college freshman, the native of Arecibo, Puerto Rico set a school record with 31 doubles. "We signed Jay back in November," Coach Hunt said, "I was holding my breath through the (MLB) draft. He told us he would come if he didn't get drafted, and he's a man of his word. "Jay will be a tremendous addition to our roster. We've got a few more we hope to nail down soon." *** Oh well, oops on that "man of his word" line. Feliciano is going to profile as a corner outfielder, a blurb in this Perfect Game article mentions his 94 MPH throw from the outfield. Here are some additional photos. The initial signing took place on July 15th. This extensive workout video is a little over a year and a half old. And this is quite the video production, morphs from photos to video as it goes along...
  13. This was the McCalvy note: (Gord) Ash also provided an update on right-hander Miguel Diaz, No. 13 on MLB.com's Brewers prospects list. Diaz had a fracture in his right elbow and underwent surgery in the middle of March, but is currently throwing live batting practice and should return to game action this weekend, according to Ash.

  16. Final: AZL Brewers 10, AZL Dodgers 5 Brewers' Orimoloye dominates in Arizona Fourth-round pick homers twice, drives in seven runs in 16th pro game By Robert Emrich / MiLB.com http://www.milb.com/assets/images/1/2/8/138148128/cuts/demi960_vel0c5eb_27otfvr1.jpg Demi Orimoloye has 12 extra-base hits in 16 games for the Arizona League Brewers. (Larry Goren/Four Seam Images) Some would expect Demi Orimoloye to be ecstatic about his two-homer game. But it was the ball he hit that didn't leave the infield that excited him the most. The Brewers outfield prospect slugged two homers and plated a career-high seven runs as the Arizona League Brewers beat the AZL Dodgers, 10-5, on Wednesday. Orimoloye wasted no time in getting started, slugging a grand slam to left field in the first inning for the Brewers. After bunting for a single in the third, the 18-year-old outfielder slugged a three-run homer, again to left, in the fifth. He finished 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base. "Good, it was real good," Orimoloye said of his day at the plate. "Today, we've been working on bunting, so after I hit the first home run, I bunted for a single, and I was actually even more happy with that because I got it down good. "I was just trying to see a good pitch to hit and when I hit it [the grand slam], I knew right away. That was really exciting." The fourth-round pick has been on something of a home run binge of late, launching five long balls over his last seven games for the Brewers. He's driven in 13 runs during that stretch. "Mainly just laying off the curveball and getting good pitches to hit," Orimoloye said. "The first couple of games I was getting a little bit ahead of them. Now I'm sitting back and I've been really driving the ball." Through the first 16 games of his pro career, the Nigeria-born Canadian has displayed the skills that had him so highly regarded heading into the draft. He sports a .353 average with five homers, 17 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. Twelve of hits have been for extra bases. "It's been real good so far," he said. "I've been seeing the ball good and I've been getting real good jumps on stealing bases. Everything has been going smoothly so far. It's a great way to start my professional career." Gilbert Lara reached base three times and scored three runs while Joantgel Segovia collected two hits and two runs for the Brewers. Gentry Fortuno gave up a run on three hits while walking one over two innings of relief to improve to 1-1. Jared Walker singled three times and drove in three runs for the Dodgers. Maryvale Box Score Demi! Outfield assists: Orimoloye, D (Walker at 2nd base). Demi! 13th round UConn catcher Max McDowell was 0-for-4 in his pro debut, but guided four pitchers through nine innings with only three earned runs allowed. LHP Trevor Lubking, the 2014 14th round pick of the Rays surprisingly released, made his Brewers' debut. We don't know the specific injury he's been rehabbing, but I just asked him via Twitter and hope to get a quick response. Congrats to still 17-tear-old RHP Gentry Fortuno on his first pro win, he followed up RHP David Lucroy's four-inning (4 R, 2 ER) effort. SS Gilbert Lara was 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored. LF Joantgel Segovia now an extra-base machine, with his 2nd of the season in this one, also singled, 2-for-5.

  17. Final: Missoula 7, Helena 2 Osprey score 4 in the 5th to take down Helena Andy Bixler, the Missoulian After four innings Wednesday night, the Missoula Osprey seemed more likely to get no-hit than they would beat the Helena Brewers. A four-run inning sure changed that fast. Missoula raked five hits and scored four runs in the fifth, catapulting the O's to a 7-2 win at Allegiance Field. “It seems like we’ve been doing that all year,” manager Joe Mather said. “We’ve been a team that’s been down early a lot, and we’ve come back a lot.” That was certainly the case on Wednesday, as Helena jumped out to an early lead in the top of the second inning. A deep double by Jake Gatewood started off the inning, and a passed ball allowed him to advance easily to third base. He was knocked home by Brewers’ designated hitter Dustin Houle, giving Helena a 1-0 lead. Helena nearly lost that lead nearly as quickly in the bottom of that inning, but a rare triple play tripped the Birds up. Missoula had Jason Morozowski on second and Marcus Wilson on first, when Joey Armstrong smacked a sharp liner to Brewers first baseman David Denson, who fielded it cleanly and went to the bag. Denson then whipped the ball to second base where the shortstop was covering, catching Morozowski off the bag for the triple play. Armstrong said it was the first triple play he had ever hit into. “I kinda didn’t know what to do,” he said. “I kinda just stood there like asking myself if that just happened. It was pretty strange.” Another blunder, this time by the O’s defense, gave Helena another run in the fourth. George Iskenderian hit a single right up the middle, and then promptly stole second. When O’s catcher Luke Lowery tried to throw him down, the ball, somehow, went off both middle infielders gloves, allowing Iskenderian to move to third. He was then hit home by Gatewood, making the score 2-0 in favor of Helena. Osprey starter Dallas Newton (1-2) worked into a grove after those early troubles, however. The righty finished with 5 2-3 innings pitched, four strikeouts and only one run earned. Mather said he was impressed with the third-year pitcher's stuff, and with his confidence. “He’s got a great sinker, and he’s working on his secondary pitches,” Mather said. “His fastball command tonight was awesome, and guys who have a lot of sink sometimes have trouble controlling it. Tonight, he found it.” Newton, the fifth starter in the rotation, recorded his first win of the year (he had three no-decisions at the beginning of the season), and lowered his ERA by over half a run. “We’re comfortable with him going out there every night, and not a lot of teams can say that about their five man,” Mather said. “He’s changed his grip a little bit, so he had the same amount of movement, but it stayed in the zone.” Meanwhile, Helena pitcher Marcos Diplan also had a good night, at least at the beginning. He didn’t allow Missoula to record a single hit until the fifth inning, when Morozowski popped one up to shallow right field. Three Brewers were under it but none managed to make the catch, giving Morozowski an improbable double. That spelled the beginning of the end for the Brewers. After a single by Marcus Wilson that pushed Morozowski to third, the O’s got their first run, when Diplan was called for a balk. Wilson then scored from second on a chopper that soared 15 feet over the first baseman’s head, tying the game at 2 runs apiece. The O’s added another run two batters later, when Isan Diaz, whose .376 batting average is the fifth-highest in the Pioneer League, raked a single to right, scoring Matt McPhearson from third. An RBI by Raymel Flores rounded out the inning. “I don’t know why we do that, whether they get more comfortable as the game goes on or what,” Mather said. “I think it’s just a matter of them seeing the situation and bearing down.” Helena didn’t threaten again until the seventh, when reliever Bryant Holtmann loaded the bases with one out. He didn’t make it through the inning but the O’s did, as Keegan Long came in and induced a double play to preserve the lead. VIDEO: See everything here except for the pop-up double. The triple play, the balk, the high chopper... *** Brewers' Denson starts another triple play Helena first baseman helps turn the second 3-6 feat of his pro career By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com http://www.milb.com/assets/images/1/4/0/138147140/cuts/960_Denson_Helena_Brewers_izial2hn_5jmxfu67.jpg David Denson has four home runs for Rookie-level Helena in 25 games this season. (Helena Brewers photo) The 3-6 triple play may have become habit-forming for David Denson. For the second time in his pro career, the Brewers' No. 19 prospect played a pivotal role in a triple play, helping Rookie-level Helena collect three outs in one play in the second inning of Wednesday's 7-2 loss to Missoula. Milwaukee's No. 17 prospect Marcos Diplan started the inning by walking Jason Morozowski and Marcus Wilson. Joey Armstrong then ripped a low line drive toward Denson at first base. Denson snagged the ball inches above the grass and quickly realized Wilson had broken for second. He ran to first to pick the outfielder off first. Knowing Morozowski was at second, Denson quickly spun to check the keystone. In the process, he heard what sounded like 24 Helena Brewers shouting "Two! Two! Two!" and zipped the ball to shortstop Jake Gatewood. Morozowski, apparently thinking Armstong's liner would hit the ground before Denson's glove, had advanced toward third. He realized his mistake too late, with Denson's throw narrowly beating him to second base. "Everybody was excited," Denson said. "It was kind of slow. It was one of the slower triple plays I've been a part of. I caught it, ran to first, threw to second, and it all just seemed in slow motion. It was exciting, but after, everyone was like, 'Dang, that was a slow one.' But we got it done." Denson is a triple-play veteran, adding that he played a similar role in a 3-6 effort while with the Arizona League Brewers in 2013. "That one unfolded the same way," he said. "It was my rookie year. I was over because it was a lefty, and he hit a line drive to first. I was right next to the base when I caught the ball, touched the base with one step, then threw to second." The 20-year-old said he wasn't thinking about the possibility until he heard his teammates yelling to throw to second. "Once I touched first, I knew the runner was on second," he said. "I turned to check, but everybody was yelling. I took my time a little bit, because I knew he was going to be around there, but I didn't expect him to be as far off as he was. "I knew the first [runner] took off on contact. The second [runner], I thought he could've read the ball, but they both just took off. Once I touched first, as I was turning, it was, 'Two! Two! Two!' I jumped around real quick, saw how far off he was and launched the ball to second." Gatewood finished 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. The shortstop is hitting .250 in 29 games with the Brewers. He's also lofted four homers with 12 doubles on the season. Diplan (2-1) didn't allow a hit until the fifth, but gave up four earned runs on five hits that frame. He ended up taking walking three and striking out two over 4 1/3 innings. Dallas Newton (1-2) picked up the win after allowing two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 frames. Helena Box Score Jake Gatewood finished 3-for-4 with a double... Helena Game Log

  20. Sky Sox liberated from Rockies, but not liberated from losing David Ramsey, Colorado Springs Gazette Link includes VIDEO message from the Sky Sox GM Manager Rick Sweet arrived at Security Service Field at 7:30 Wednesday morning. He had endured a tough loss to the Nashville Sounds on Tuesday night. He didn't want to endure another defeat. He worked on a video of Tuesday's mistakes to show his players. Sweet is a baseball lifer, a survivor of thousands and thousands of games, but he's not lost in yesterday. He badly wanted a victory on this day. He delivered a brief, intense speech and presentation to his Sky Sox. They responded on a sunny - well, mostly - afternoon at the ballpark. The Sky Sox scored in the bottom of the ninth inning for a 4-3 win over Sounds. I wish this victory was the story of the summer of 2015. It's not. For the ninth time in 11 seasons, the Sky Sox look on their way to a losing record. The Sky Sox (39-56) won Wednesday, but the quest to finish .500 is looking as likely as a 30-minute drive from downtown Colorado Springs to downtown Denver in rush-hour traffic. "I don't like our record," Sweet said. "Anybody who likes losing is never going to be a winner." When the Rockies ended their affiliation with the Sky Sox, I hoped for brighter days. The Rockies are horrid, but more importantly for fans in our town, they were inattentive parents. The brainiacs who run the Rockies were too busy losing in downtown Denver to focus on winning on the eastern edge of Colorado Springs. Hope seemed on its way when the Brewers adopted the Sky Sox. Sweet arrived in the Springs on a seven-season Triple-A winning streak. He believes in a mix of youth and experience. He believed he would push his win streak to eight. Triple-A baseball is difficult to understand. The talk from managers and players is about winning, but the genuine emphasis is on development. Players are never truly content while competing in the Springs. They yearn to be called up to Milwaukee and fear being sent down to Double-A or shipped out. In Triple-A, tomorrow is more important than today. But winning can add a happy jolt to a summer. Even though a fan knows a favorite player might vanish, off to the bigs, at any time, it's more satisfying to support a winning team. Fans can't get much satisfaction at Security Service Field. In 2013, the Sky Sox lost 31 of their last 47 games. In 2014, the Sky Sox stumbled to only 53 wins. The current season offers yet another depressing disaster. Sky Sox president and general manager Tony Ensor hopes for better results. "The fans who come to the ballpark, especially the season ticket holders, love to see the team compete, love to see the team win," Ensor said. "In the front office, winning is what drives us, what gets us excited. Winning is always a big part of sports. I don't care what it is." Ensor is convinced the Sky Sox are competing instead of surrendering. Sweet shares his conviction. "I know these guys hate to lose," Ensor said. "They hate to lose any game, and that's what I respect." I respect this attitude, too, but there sure is a lot of hating going on at Security Service. At times during the past two summers, I wondered when we would be liberated from the Rockies reign of error. It couldn't get any worse. That was my conviction. Maybe I was wrong. The Rockies adopted the Albuquerque Isotopes as their new Triple-A team. The Isotopes (44-53) are roaring, comparatively speaking, only nine games below .500.
  21. Final: Colorado Springs 4, Nashville 3 Ashley Plays Walk-Off Hero Again In 4-3 Win Colorado Springs Outlasts Nashville in Tight Contest By Ed Pearsall / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/9/4/0/138106940/cuts/07_22_116sm_pk_0z9grk4i_1yqv5h1o.jpg Teammates mob Nevin Ashley to celebrate the catchers walk-off RBI single that gave the Sox a 4-3 win over Nashville on Wednesday. (Paat Kelly photo) COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - Known for his flare for the dramatic, Nevin Ashley provided the Sky Sox with a much needed lift as his bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth gave Colorado Springs a 4-3 win over the Nashville Sounds before a Wednesday afternoon crowd of 3,381 at Security Service Field. Sox starter Josh Roenicke turned in a solid effort to keep the home side in the ballgame early. The right-hander would allow three runs on seven hits while striking out five and walking none. Jason Pridie continued to torment his former team, drilling a first inning solo home run over the right-centerfield wall to give Nashville an early 1-0 lead. The long ball gives Pridie four total in the first three games of this four-game set. 2002 American League Cy Young Award winner Barry Zito gave Nashville an equally gutsy performance, serving up three runs (two earned) on nine hits and four walks. The veteran left-hander would suffer one tough frame in the fourth as the Sox pushed their only three runs against Zito across the plate. All nine Sox batters would come to the plate in the inning. Luis Sardinas' RBI single plated Matt Dominguez from third to knot the ballgame before back-to-back Nashville fielding errors allowed Kyle Wren and Elian Herrera to reach safely to score Sardinas and Pete Orr. The crooked inning gave Colorado Springs a 3-1 lead that they would maintain until the sixth. Pridie would hurt Roenicke one last time in the sixth, lining his offering to the outfield gap to score Joey Wendle with an RBI triple. After a sharp Max Muncy lineout, Dayan Viciedo lined a single to left field to send Pridie home with the tying run. Manager Rick Sweet called upon 2015 PCL All-Star David Goforth to keep the ballgame tied heading into the latter innings. Goforth would load the bases before inducing two quick out to maintain the deadlock. The sides remained even for the next three innings as Goforth and Jaye Chapman (2-1, 3.43) combined for 3.2 scoreless frames out of the Sky Sox bullpen to combat Nashville righty Aaron Kurcz's scoreless 7th and 8th. Kurcz (1-1, 3.52) would prove to take the mound for one too many innings as he quickly loaded the bases with the Sox 3-4-5 hitters on two singles and a walk to bring the ever-clutch Ashley to the plate in a potential game-winning at-bat. The sweet-swinging catcher swatted Kurcz's final offering of the day into centerfield to plate pinch-runner Matt Long with the walk-off winner, sending Sox fans home happy with a 4-3 Colorado Springs win. The exciting victory improves Colorado Springs to 39-56 on the season while dropping Nashville to 45-53. The Sox and Sounds will wrap up their four-game set on Thursday night as Colorado Springs looks to earn a series-split against Nashville right-hander Zach Lee (7-3, 3.53). First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM MDT (8:05 Central) at Security Service Field with the Sky Sox starter to be determined. Colorado Springs Box Score Jason Rogers did commit an error at third base (his 4th 2015 AAA start there), but was on base four times (single, three walks); Wednesday's DH, Matt Dominguez, doubled, singled and walked twice; hope you all haven't just glossed over AAA reports here this season -- Nevin Ashley has been tremendous since Day One, and I'll actually be very upset if the dude doesn't get rewarded with an enticed offer to return to the organization next year. Colorado Springs Game Log Nice to see they're using David Goforth in roles other than closer, but high-leverage situations like this -- Nashville Top of the 6th Joey Wendle singles on a ground ball to first baseman Matt Clark. With Jason Pridie batting, wild pitch by Josh Roenicke, Joey Wendle to 2nd. Jason Pridie triples (6) on a line drive to center fielder Logan Schafer. Joey Wendle scores. Max Muncy lines out to first baseman Matt Clark. Dayan Viciedo singles on a line drive to left fielder Kyle Wren. Jason Pridie scores. Pitching Change: David Goforth replaces Josh Roenicke.
