Flip-flop:

 

Frederickson starting, Peralta relieving for the T-Rats tonight.

[BoKnowsBall]

Gindl coming back hits a HR

[wibadgers23]

BC is having all kinds of fun tonight. Gindl with a homerun and 3 RBI's in his first game since being on the DL. Schafer with a double and a triple. Farris with three hits including an RBI and two stolen bases. Still just the 5th inning.

[tyguy20204]

Heckathorn with a scoreless inning in his professional debut! Ground out, Fly out, Fly out.

[wibadgers23]

Peralta threw three scoreless innings and then left the game. Hopefully not injury-related. Farris ends up five hits including a double, RBI, and two stolen bases.

[JohnBriggs12]

memo to X cellence, "non-prospect" Farris is 5 for 5 with 2 more steals (now 59) tonight.

[And That]

I bet they are winding Peralta down for the year... he won't go much over 100 IP this year.

[YoungGeezy]

memo to X cellence, "non-prospect" Farris is 5 for 5 with 2 more steals (now 59) tonight.

Ha, come on now Briggs, you know just as well as I do that Farris could get 5 hits with 2SB's every game the rest of the season and X still wouldn't call him a prospect. No use trying to sway him.

 

Great to see Gindl jump right back into things and as for Schaefer....I still can't figure why they never gave him the bump back up to AA. I know Cain is back but man he is playing some great baseball and also has learned to walk a little more.

 

Just to add, man its wonderful to see the Braddock the Great back and dominating. I really do think that his future is in the pen as a future closer. The guy is to flithy when he is able to just go out there and throw as hard and nasty as he can. It'd be nice if he did work out in the rotation but you can never complain about having a great closer.

[wibadgers23]

I've been wondering the same thing about Schafer for the past month now Geezy. Couldn't you play Cain in CF and Schafer in RF, or vice versa? I guess we'll just have to wait until next year to see Schafer in Huntsville.

[twobrewers]

Braddock returns(!) with a scoreless inning. One strikeout.

[Kevbo74]

Lucroy's hit streak extends to 17 games with yet another double.

What's really cool is that in he's hit extra bases in his last 9 consecutive, and I think 10 in his last 11 (not sure).

Slow start officially forgiven!

 

*going to have to get a new avatar :-)

[sfl2hnq17]

second sub-par outing for mr. bucci. right when i was really getting excited about he has to put 2 crappy outings back to back.

[colbyjack]

The overall numbers for Bucci are still very, very good for a 19-year old in the Pioneer League.

 

Really nice to see Heckathorn make his debut.

 

I mentioned the same as Toby a few days ago, as I'm pretty sure the Brewers are trying to limit Peralta's innings to close out the season.

 

One player that has had a very good year that deserves a lot of credit is Daniel Merklinger. He was considered a very talented prospect coming out of college, and even in the Cape Cod League, with good stuff but questionable command, and hopefully the Brewers have found whatever it takes for him to be successful moving forward. He's a little old for his league (he turns 24 this fall), so one's excitement obviously needs to be tempered, but there has been positive results to some of his ratios even prior to this year to believe that he will continue to succeed.

[LouisEly]

Braddock returns(!) with a scoreless inning. One strikeout.

Good to see Chad Robinson go two innings - one hit and three Ks. IIRC they gave him pretty good money to sign, so it's nice to see him back and hopefully back in the prospect picture next year.

[sfl2hnq17]

oh i am by no means saying bucci hasn't played well considering his age; i would've just liked to have seen him continue his dominance of the pioneer league. his strikeout ratio has been good the last 2 outings so maybe he is getting unlucky? i haven't listened to any helena games in a week or so, so i can't say. but for me today was the big excitement of the brewers signing hall, davis and gennett.

[TheCrew07]

memo to X cellence, "non-prospect" Farris is 5 for 5 with 2 more steals (now 59) tonight.

Ha, come on now Briggs, you know just as well as I do that Farris could get 5 hits with 2SB's every game the rest of the season and X still wouldn't call him a prospect. No use trying to sway him.

Farris is not a top prospect, he's a marginal prospect. With the 3 players signed today he's closer to 50 than he is to 20.

Thanks for all the notes above -- bad night for a major power failure here, hot and extremely humid.

 

First update is to tell you the DSL kids were rained out.

Final: Ogden (Dodgers) 11, Helena 10

Wild one early, 10-9 Ogden after five innings, then a walkoff loss late...

 

The Ogden newspaper site updates late, here's the Helena Independent notes from this road game --

 

Brewers fall in ninth; skid reaches four

 

The Helena Brewers are kicking themselves after Monday night's series opener in Ogden.

 

The Brewers blew two leads and gave up the winning run in the ninth, falling to the Raptors 11-10.

 

The loss marks Helena's fourth straight, matching the Brewers' longest losing skid of the season.

 

Helena jumped out to an early lead, scoring three runs in the first inning. Ogden's never-say-die tenacity was the Brewers' demise, as the Raptors crawled back to take a 10-9 lead in the sixth inning.

 

The Brewers, who stranded 14 runners on base throughout the contest, gained a bit of confidence in the top of the ninth. After Mike Brownstein led off the final frame with a single, Chris Ellington would get his third hit of the night. With runners at the corners, Joey Paciorek came up to the plate. With the tying run 90 feet from home and the count 0-2, Paciorek delivered with a ground ball to the right side, scoring Brownstein.

 

Unfortunately for Helena, the Raptors had one more rally left in them. Brewers lefty Kristian Bueno walked Gorman Erickson, then Nick Akins stroked a double to send Erickson to third. Kyle Orr then hit the game-winning RBI single and Bueno was handed his first loss of the season.

 

Scott Krieger was 3-for-6 for the Brewers with a double, a single, and RBI and two runs scored. Ellington had another outstanding night, going 3-for-5 with three runs scored.

 

Helena Box Score

A combined 43 baserunners via hit, walk, or HBP; first baseman Sean Halton reached all five plate appearances as part of a very big night for the heart of the order; Cutter Dykstra doubled twice out of the six spot, and Shawn Zarraga reached base three times in the 7-hole, but a combined 0-for-10 night from DH Edgar Trejo and CF Michael Roberts at the bottom of the lineup hurt; hard to blame them, however, when so many of the pitchers failed to come through given all the early offense, with only RHP Chad Robinson truly successful...

Final: Wisconsin 8, Beloit (Twins) 2

 

Wisconsin Site Game Summary

 

Rattlers keep the hits coming

By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

GRAND CHUTE, WI - Corey Kemp had three hits and drove in three runs to pace the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers to their fifth win in their last six games. The Rattlers beat the Beloit Snappers 8-2 on Monday night at Time Warner Cable Field.

 

Wisconsin (54-66 overall, 20-30 second half) broke the scoreless tie with four runs in the bottom of the second inning. Brock Kjeldgaard started the onslaught with a leadoff double. Kemp followed with an RBI single. After a hit batsman and a sacrifice bunt put two runners in scoring position, Sean McCraw doubled to center to drive in two more. Derrick McPhearson ended the inning with a run-scoring triple.

The Snappers (48-73, 21-30) got a run in the top of the third inning when starting pitcher Wily Peralta hit Ramon Santana with the bases loaded to force in a run.

 

But, Wisconsin scored three more runs in the bottom of the third. A single, a double, and an error loaded the bases for Kemp. He singled to left-center for his second and third RBI of the night. Kyle Dhanani grounded into a double play with runners at the corners and the runner from third scored for a 7-1 lead.

 

Liam Ohlmann worked two scoreless innings in relief of Peralta. Then, Evan Frederickson relieved Ohlmann for the sixth. An unearned run scored on a dropped popup to cut the lead to 7-2. But, a Pete Fatse RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning put the Rattlers back up by six.

 

Frederickson pitched the final three innings without incident and picked up his first professional save. The tall left-hander allowed one hit, walked five, and struck out five in closing out the Snappers.

 

The Timber Rattlers play the final game of the four game series with the Snappers on Tuesday night. Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Dave Bush (3-4, 5.67) is scheduled to make a rehab start for Wisconsin. Beloit will send Daniel Berlind (3-12, 5.02) to the mound. Game time is 7:05 PM.

 

Tuesday night is the final WAPL Bang For Your Buck Night. Soda, hotdogs, and beer are available for $1. There are grass seat tickets remaining for Tuesday's game.

 

Wisconsin Box Score

LHP Evan Frederickson walked five in his otherwise effective four-inning stint; RHP Wily Peralta has fanned 106 and walked just 38 in 92 innings; SS Josh Prince caught stealing, now 6-for-8 in SB attempts with the Rattlers, 32-for-41 overall; four doubles and a triple among the 10 Wisconsin hits; Pete Fatse and Corey Kemp three knocks apiece...
