Monday Box Score 11/2

 

Yeah, this'll do just fine...in addition to the video above.

 

Scottsdale Top of the 6th

 

Pitching Change: Josh Hader replaces Andrew Edwards.

Carlos Asuaje strikes out swinging.

Adam Brett Walker II strikes out swinging.

Stuart Turner strikes out swinging.

 

SS Yadiel Rivera excelled defensively, as noted above but had a very rare AFL game of 0-for-4 (one K) in Surprise's 5-0 loss.

Here's another thorough update from the Canadian perspective as Team USA and the boys up north now leave for Taiwan.

 

Box Score

 

CF Brett Phillips 0-for-1, BB, R

 

C Dustin Houle 0-for-1, K

 

(Listed as 2B/C, but that was just part of multiple pinch-hitting that inning, didn't play the field at second base, it seems)

Tuesday Box 11/3

 

Surprise ends a five-game losing streak (now 10-8 overall) with a 4-0 win.

 

Yadiel Rivera, playing third base and leading off, was 2-for-4 with a double. His 1.094 OPS is 3rd in the entire league.

 

What a push RHP Jacob Barnes is making for a 40-man spot (LHP Mike Strong used a similar Fall League stint last year to do just that). Click that link for the numbers through six relief appearances.

 

Scottsdale Bottom of the 8th

 

Pitching Change: Jacob Barnes replaces Connor Sadzeck.

Christian Arroyo strikes out swinging.

Mac Williamson singles on a sharp ground ball to center fielder Bubba Starling.

Austin Slater called out on strikes.

Yandy Diaz lines out to center fielder Bubba Starling.

Arizona Box Thursday 11/5

 

Craig Counsell was there...

 

Here's Jeff Levering's full report

 

Gameday did not include PitchFx data for this one.

 

Nicky Delmonico was 0-for-4 and is batting .114, not exactly rooting for him.

 

As for Friday's TV game ,we get LHP Josh Hader, as Jeff noted. We should get Yadiel Rivera as well.

 

With Michael Reed (minor knee injury) done and Brett Phillips overseas, Brewer fans are done to two position players -- Rivera and taxi squad member Nathan Orf. Taxi players play on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but Orf missed Wednesday's game, hopefully he's OK.

 

With the Fall Star Game on Saturday (Rivera, Barnes, Magnifico), perhaps the AFL will let the taxi guys play Friday and we'll see Orf on TV.

This guy thinks he might profile as a reliever. Looked like starter material to me. @jeffmoore_5: @BrewerNation Some of both. I think it's a bullpen profile long term bc of the effort in delivery, but three pitches gives him a chance.

@jeffmoore_5: Josh Hader is going to hep the #Brewers soon. Could see him in their bullpen at some point in '16. #AFL15

Team USA Baseball is in Taiwan for the upcoming Premier 12 tournament.

 

They played a "warmup game" this AM (our time) against Chinese Taipei, and down to their final out, this happened (tweet):

 

.@Brett_Phillips8 hits a 2 out bomb over the right field fence! We are tied at 3-3 in the 9th. #TeamUSA

 

It was Phillips' lone AB of the game.

 

Of course, a good question might be what was USA doing down 3-2 in the 9th to Chinese Taipei -- it's a global game, everyone!

With warmup video -- Jeff Levering's report

 

Day 2 in the AFL: Friday’s headline – Josh Hader is Special

 

I'll keep hyping him as a future Ace, all he does is continue to show it! Houser is very similar to Jimmy Nelson outside of Jimmy was merely in Wisconsin still figuring things out at Housers age. Thank you Astros!

Proud member since 2003 (geez ha I was 14 then)

Hat tip to @BrewerNation for the video find.
