Chris interviews pitching coach Chris Hook. They discuss the pitching trend in general then Heckathorn's efficiency, Nick Bucci's fastball command, and the pros of the tandem system. Finally they finish off the interview by discussing the organizational goal that no pitcher exceeds more than 30 IP from the previous season.

 

I was hoping they would discuss Arnett, I'd like to get the organization's take on him, but no such luck this time.

Nashville's Stu Paul interviews Brewers Roving Pitching Instructor Lee Tunnell at the May 30th audio links (Parts 1 & 2)

Other than some Tim Dillard insight, not the conversation some of us might have had with Tunnell -- that's not Stu's fault, it's a veteran staff in Nashville, and the local audience there in town is his first audience. Hopefully we'll get to hear more later in the year regarding the lower-level arms...

June 2 - Chat with Brewers Minor League Hitting Coordinator Darnell Coles

 

Coles comes across as very well-spoken, polished, and professional, yet genial and personable. If his communication skills translate as well to the players, one can definitely picture him on a big league coaching staff someday.

Nashville Pre-Game Audio with Mat Gamel -- happy for Adam Heether, discusses the influence of various Brewer instructors

Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Pre Game Audio

 

Chris interviews Lake County radio announcer Craig Deas. I normally don't link the non player related interviews, and Chris does quite a few, but I thought this was pretty insightful. For example I didn't realize that the Indians have 4 affiliates in the state of Ohio. They also discuss that Lake County is only about 25 minutes from Progressive Field, the Indians skipping prospects past Lake County, and OF prospect Bo Greenwell. The T-Rats will also see rehabbing Cleveland 1B Andy Marte this weekend.
