Final: Wisconsin 9, Clinton (Mariners) 1 Rattlers win big in return home Gainey tosses seven scoreless as Wisconsin kicks off homestand with a victory By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers http://www.milb.com/assets/images/1/7/0/54677170/cuts/Gainey_cb4hooo1_5r8bdn3c.jpg Preston Gainey allowed one hit over seven scoreless innings against the Clinton LumberKings on July 24, 2013 to pick up his fourth win of the season. GRAND CHUTE, WI - Preston Gainey allowed one hit over seven scoreless inning as the Wisconsin offense stayed on their roll in a 9-1 defeat over the Clinton LumberKings at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium on Wednesday night. This was the first game of a six game homestand for the Timber Rattlers after they went 1-5 on a six game road trip. Wisconsin (42-54 overall, 13-18 second half) took the lead in the bottom of the third inning. Max Walla started the inning with a double to right. Tyler Roberts followed with a double to left-center to score Walla. Orlando Arcia was next and he blooped a triple just fair down the line in right to drive in Roberts. Arcia scored later in the inning when Michael Reed grounded into a 5-4-3 double play with runners on the corners and no outs. The Rattlers added on in the fifth inning. Mike Garza doubled with one out and Parker Berberet singled to left to drive in Garza for a 4-0 lead. Arcia singled in the fifth inning, stole second, and went to third on a grounder. He scored on a wild pitch with two outs to make it 5-0. Gainey, walked three and struck out one as he set his professional high for innings pitched. The only hit he gave up was a two-out single by Dario Pizzano in the top of the first. He walked Marcus Littlewood to start the second inning and retired the next twelve batters in a row. Gainey walked Janelfry Zorilla to start the sixth inning, but erased him on a double play. In the seventh, Littlewood walked with two outs. Then, Gainey struck out Taylor Ard to end the inning. Wisconsin added two more runs in the bottom of the seventh. Max Walla scored from third on a wild pitch for the first run. Later in the frame, Victor Roache drew a bases loaded walk to force in a run to make the score 7-0. Clinton (47-53, 14-17) scored an unearned run off Ryan Gibbard in the top of the eighth. Gaby Guerrero reached on an error to start the inning. Jordy Lara followed with a double to right-center. Guerrero scored on the play, but Lara was out trying to stretch his hit into a triple. The Rattlers tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the eighth. Walla scored on an error for the first tally. Tyrone Taylor was at the plate with the bases loaded and was hit by a pitch to force in a run to account for the final score. Wisconsin had ten hits on Wednesday night, their third straight game with ten or more hits. Game two of the series is Thursday night. Eric Semmelhack (1-5, 5.23) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Clinton has Scott DeCecco (7-7, 4.46) as their scheduled starter. Game time is 7:05pm.

WP: Preston Gainey (4-5) LP: Rigoberto Garcia (0-2) TIME: 2:42 ATTN: 5,153 Wisconsin Boxscore This would have been fun to watch, hopefully I have time in the near future to catch up with the game on the DVR. Preston Gainey had his best outing out of the season, the only other time he went scoreless was a 4 inning stint on 5/18. His peripherals aren't going to blow you away, and I'm sure Mehring will talk about pitching to contact with a 10:3 GO:FO ratio. As I've said in the past I don't get the ground ball hype, it's not new, the idea has been to get ground balls forever, that's why middle defense has always been so important. It's not the ratio of the outs that matter, but rather ratio of the balls in play. At any rate, I'm certainly happy for Preston, hopefully he can find some consistency as he finishes out this campaign to jump start him into next year. Ryan Gibbard followed up with 2 good innings of his own, though he did allow an unearned run. I always expect an avalanche of hits when I see 7+ runs in a game, but the Rattlers got 9 runs on just 10 hits. I say "just" in the context of 9 runs, as I'm thrilled with any double digit hit output. Tyrone Taylor was the only T-Rat to go hitless, he's been rather cold lately, his AVE has dropped down to .288, he was hit by 2 pitches in the game though. Tyler Roberts and Orlando Arcia each contributed 2 hits and an XBH, Roberts with a double and Arcia a triple. Michael Garza and Max Walla each added a double.

Hard to take that list seriously, with where they have Jungmann & Bradley. But still, I find it a bit hard to believe that Delmonico wouldn't slot into the top 5 of any objective Brewers system ranking. What a great return for 2+ months of a reliever. Doug Melvin is definitely 2-2 on his last two trades. I'm not all that excited about Delmonico but he's about as good as we could hope for when trading a single reliever with no service time past this season.

You keep posting that same story, this is at least the 2nd time in the last month, which doesn't connect any of the necessary dots. I don't really want to get into a debate about everything that's wrong with that article and how he connects the "science" dots together, but that whole article is just one person's hypothesis. Some random thoughts from having read it through 3 full times: Certainly a more buoyant core could make the ball travel farther, but how much? Clearly not 33% or we'd be seeing 600 ft HRs like on video games. Why not test cores for all baseball types and not just MLBs? Why not actually set up a controlled experiment where the actual baseballs are hit by a bat at a consistent velocity to measure how far they all travel? What about the other side where players who have used claim to have gained a statistical boost from greater FB velocity or strength? Maybe the whole problem with that "analysis" is that the entire thing is centered around averages instead of spending some time looking at what happened statistically at the extremes? As the extremes move farther apart the average could still be in the middle... The ball may have been juiced, I believe a different manufacturer with a different process likely changed the characteristics of the ball, but that doesn't explain Bonds or Sosa hitting more HRs later into their career or any of the players whom come forward to spill the beans about their increase in production while utilizing PEDs. I'm not willing to dismiss any combination of factors but beating this drum about it all being the baseball is misguided at its best.

Sounds' Davis stays hot at the plate Brewers' No. 13 prospect has eight RBIs in past two games By Brandon Simes / MiLB.com http://www.milb.com/assets/images/0/3/4/54426034/cuts/davis_wh8yuaox_oh2usebt.jpg Khris Davis has hits in 11 of 12 games for the Sounds. (Mike Strasinger/Nashville Sounds) Sounds slugger Khris Davis has put up some impressive numbers in his career, but he's never been this hot. The Brewers' No. 13 prospect homered and drove in four runs for the second consecutive game in the Triple-A Sounds' 6-5 win over the Isotopes on Monday night at Herschel Greer Stadium. "I was going up with a good approach, keeping it nice and easy," Davis said. "Less is more with me. My hitting coach [bob] Skube and I were talking about that as a game plan." Davis has launched four homers in his last nine games and 13 on the season -- second on the team to Milwaukee's No. 3 prospect Hunter Morris, who has 19. "[Home runs] come in bunches. You just try to go out there and hope for a good pitch and hope he makes a mistake and I don't miss it," Davis said. The left fielder has never before driven in eight runs in two games, and he has hits in 11 of his last 12 games, during which he's 16-for-44 (.364). "If there is a secret, I'd just say it's positive thinking: 'I'm going to go up and get the job done' rather than 'I can,'" said the native of Lakewood, Calif. In 2012 Davis dominated, posting a 1.055 OPS in 260 at-bats across three stops in the Minors. But after spending the start of the season with the Brewers, the 2009 seventh-round pick got off to a slow start with Nashville, hitting .111 through his first nine Triple-A games. "It was more the mental side, I don't think anything was wrong with my swing," Davis said. "Just coming down from the big leagues was an adjustment as far as confidence and getting back into the swing of things. I had a different role up there and down here." The 25-year-old has made two visits to Milwaukee this season, serving primarily as a pinch-hitter and posting a .557 OPS in 15 at-bats. Although left fielder Ryan Braun has been suspended for the season, opening up a spot in the Brewers outfield rotation, Davis wants to remain focused on the here and now. "I can only control what I can control and that's just go to the park and get better," he said. "I don't focus on what's going on as far as the moves, I just try to do me -- what I can do." The Nashville lineup showed what it can do Monday. Even with hitless nights from Morris and Brewers' No. 18 prospect Kentrail Davis, the Sounds smacked 12 hits, including seven from the top three batters in the order -- Josh Prince, the club's No. 5 prospect Scooter Gennett and Robinzon Diaz. "We were talking about this as a team during stretching," Khris Davis said. "Your teammates -- you just feed off their energy, how they get up for each other and pick each other up. You just feed off each other and don't want to let your teammates down. "Hitting is contagious. It's cliche, but once they get going, it's like the other hitters feed off that." Travis Webb (2-4) pitched a scoreless third of an inning to earn the win and Rob Wooten allowed a hit in 1 1/3 shutout frames to pick up his 20th save, tied for third in the Pacific Coast League behind New Orleans' Chris Hatcher's 27.

Roache drives in seven for Rattlers Brewers' No. 6 prospect cranks grand slam, three-run homer By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com http://www.milb.com/assets/images/4/7/8/54422478/cuts/480_Roache_Paul_R_Gierhart_MiLB_jjr1py1v_8f1xiovz.jpg Victor Roache has a .750 OPS in 70 games for Wisconsin. (Paul R. Gierhart/MiLB.com) After going nearly 14 months between baseball games, Milwaukee's 2012 first-round pick Victor Roache anticipated it would take a while for his timing to return. But he wasn't thinking it'd take 50 games. "It's been a long process," the 21-year-old said. "I never thought it would take this long to get my timing back, but it has." Around the Midwest League All-Star break, the Brewers' No. 6 prospect rediscovered his power stroke, and he's been lighting up the league's pitchers since. Monday night, the outfielder drove that point home by belting a pair of home runs and collecting seven RBIs -- all in the first two innings -- of Class A Wisconsin's 10-9 loss to Dayton. Roache became the third Timber Rattler to collect seven RBIs in a game, matching Kris Gundrum (May 28, 2000 at Dayton) and Carlos Peguero (June 15, 2007 at Cedar Rapids). The outfielder finished 2-for-3 with two walks, including an intentional pass in the top of the ninth. Both of Roache's homers came off Dayton starter Sal Romano, and both were no-doubters off the bat. The first came with two on and two out in the first inning. Roache connected with a fastball and mashed it over the 381-foot sign in Fifth Third Field's left-center wall. The blast banked off the scoreboard that hangs over a concession area beyond the fence -- Timber Rattlers hitting coach Dusty Rhodes described it as a "mammoth blow." Roache's next shot came on an off-speed offering from Romano. The right-handed hitter sat back and smacked a line drive toward a similar spot in left-center field. The ball whizzed just by the scoreboard, bouncing toward the fence separating the ballpark from its parking lot. "He's a guy that has the kind of power that few guys have," Rhodes said. "You knew it was a matter of time." Roache's struggled through much of the season's first half. The outfielder boasts tremendous raw power -- he led the NCAA in home runs as a Georgia Southern sophomore in 2011, slugging 30 round-trippers and setting himself up as a prime Draft candidate for 2012. The outfielder's junior campaign was quashed before it could even begin, though, as he suffered a broken wrist in February and missed the entire college season. Despite the missed time, Milwaukee plucked Roache with the 28th overall pick last summer. They held him out of game action until this spring, and despite homering in his first pro at-bat, the outfielder struggled in his initial go at professional baseball. The 21-year-old hit .209 with a .644 OPS in the first half of the season, collecting six homers and six doubles in 50 games. During that time, Roache said he had trouble seeing the ball well for more than a few at-bats in a row, and he rarely was able to replicate the approach that led to his success in college. Since the All-Star break, he's felt like a different hitter and the results have reflected that. Thirty games into the second half, Roache has slugged eight homers with a .298 average and .908 OPS. Seven of those homers have come in July, when he's hitting .321 with a 1.037 OPS in 20 games. The difference for Roache has been pitch recognition, and those improvements have been driven by two factors. "I think part of it is repetition," he said. "I'm finally getting at-bats, and I'm feeling more confident in the box. I have an understanding of how the pitchers are pitching to me. "I've also been tweaking my swing, keeping my front shoulder in and trying to land my front foot flat and square so I'm not spinning out with my front side. That's allowed me to see the ball better and make more consistent swings." Roache worked with Rhodes extensively in his effort to snap out of the funk. The pair noticed around the All-Star break that Roache was bouncing on his left toe as he started his swing, rather than laying it down flat. Correcting that, in conjunction with some tweaks to his hand positioning, has helped him see pitches better and deliver the barrel to the ball more efficiently, Rhodes said. "We knew it would take a while to get that thing going," the hitting coach said of Roache's power. "We talked to him about it being a marathon and not a sprint." Rhodes raved about the way Roache handled his shaky first half. Roache said he was often frustrated by his first-half performances, but regular talks with his father, Victor Roache Sr., as well as friends and teammates helped him stick to the grind. The outfielder is routinely arriving early to the ballpark, Rhodes said, and the extra hours he spent in the batting cage despite his struggles are paying dividends for the 6-foot-1, 225-pound outfielder. "He's a quiet guy, but he has a great work ethic," Rhodes said. "Sometimes it's just me and him, and he works on things. We talk about things, like how guys are trying to pitch to him. Over a period of time in this league, he's made more adjustments and better adjustments and it's finally starting to pay off for him."

Roache homers twice, drives in seven, but Rattlers fall in Dayton Dragons rally from 8-1 deficit to beat Wisconsin By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers DAYTON, OH - The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers had a great start. The Dayton Dragons had a better finish. Wisconsin stormed out to an 8-1 lead after the top of the second inning at Fifth Third Field on Monday night. But the Dragons rallied for a 10-9 win to spoil a great night for Victor Roache. The Rattlers left fielder hit a pair of home runs in his first two at bats and drove in seven runs to give Wisconsin the big lead, but the Rattlers bats fell silent after the big start and it cost them. Roache put the Timber Rattlers up in the first inning. Wisconsin had two runners on and two out and Roache crushed his thirteenth home run of the season off the scoreboard to give the Rattlers a 3-1 lead. Dayton got a run in the bottom of the first inning on an RBI grounder by Jesse Winker. Roache came back to the plate in the top of the second inning with the bases loaded and two outs. He lined a grand slam over the wall in left-center for home run number fourteen of the year. The Rattlers were up 7-1, but they weren't done in the inning. Mike Garza singled. Then, Parker Berberet doubled off the wall to drive in Garza for an 8-1 lead. Ross gave up a run in the bottom of the second on an RBI double by Joe Hudson and pitched a scoreless third. But, he struggled in the fourth. Ross, who underwent Tommy John Surgery on May10, 2012, had not gone longer than three innings in any of his starts between the Arizona League and the Timber Rattlers this season. He got the first out on a liner back to the mound. The next three batters reached on a single, an error, and a single to load the bases. Beau Amaral drove in a pair of runs with a double to make the score 8-4 and knock Ross out of the game. Rattlers reliever Mike Strong got the second out of the inning, but walked Winker to load the bases and Seth Mejias-Brean to force in a run to make it 8-5. Mejias-Brean struck for a leadoff home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to bring Dayton to within 8-6. Chris McFarland started the Wisconsin eighth inning with a double. That was the first hit for Wisconsin since the second inning. Orlando Arcia moved McFarland over with a sacrifice bunt. Alfredo Rodriguez got McFarland in with a sacrifice fly and the Rattlers were up 9-6. But in the eighth the Dragons loaded the bases on a walk, a single, and an error. Strong hit Sammy Diaz to force in a run to make the score 9-7. Winker sent a dribbler in front of the plate for an infield single to drive in the run to make the score 9-8 and keep the bases loaded. Jono Armold entered the game at this point and struck out Mejias-Brean for the first out. Jeff Gelalich got the tying run home and moved Diaz to third with the go ahead run on a sacrifice fly to right field. Armold threw a wild pitch with Tanner Rahier at the plate and Diaz scored the go ahead run as Winker took second base. Then, Rahier singled to center. But, Tyrone Taylor threw Winker out at the plate to keep the Rattlers down 10-9. In the top of the ninth, Wandy Peralta got the first out before facing Roache. Peralta missed with his first three pitches and the Dragons decided to intentionally walk Roache. Garza lined the next pitch to right-center and Roache cruised for third. However, Garza tried to stretch the hit into a double and was thrown out at second base for the second out of the inning. That brought Berberet to the plate and Peralta got ahead of the Wisconsin catcher with two quick strikes. Berberet sent a sinking line drive to left-center, but Winker, who won Sunday's game with a walkoff home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, charged in and made a diving, game-saving catch for the final out. The Timber Rattlers are off on Tuesday. They return to action with a home game on Wednesday night against the Clinton LumberKings at 7:05pm. Preston Gainey (3-5, 7.01) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Rigoberto Garcia (0-1, 6.75) is scheduled to start for Clinton.
