Outside of LHP Jake Drossner's early struggles, have to love the work thus far of the Wisconsin starters and tandem partners (stats).

 

Drake Owenby takes his shiny numbers to the local TV mound tonight.

Derby is getting lit up early. This game is about over folks. Only one out in.

Wow, my heart just jumped a bit as I watched a live line-by-line MiLB.com game log update for a game involving a 3-16 squad with no audio or video.

Wisconsin Boxscore

4 in a row! ERA wise Wisconsin has the 3rd best staff in the 16 team league which trips my pitching bias, I've enjoyed this team even when I don't have much to add to the summary. Drake Owenby and Miguel Diaz both struck out 5 a piece and Quintin Torres-Costa posted his 3rd consecutive scoreless appearance.

 

I was hoping last night that Isan Diaz' fluke 9th inning single would help him get going again and today he was 2-5... could it be? Mitch Ghelfi (2-3,2 BB) had a real nice game and Jake Gatewood (2-4,2B) missed a HR by 3 feet and posted his 3rd multi-hit game in a row.

 

Wisconsin Recap

 

Max McDowell (all season really) and Elvis Rubio put their arm strength and hustle on display tonight.

Tough way to fall to 3-17...

AUDIO: Brewers on Tap - Episode 43; Manager Craig Counsell stops by plus we catch up with Brewers' pitching prospect Damien Magnifico

 

Very good interview with Magnifico (at the 16:15 minute mark)

[CheezWizHed]

Garrett Kennedy reaches on a throwing error by second baseman Blake Allemand. Garrett Kennedy out at 2nd, catcher Max McDowell to shortstop Isan Diaz.

With Edwin Rios batting, Omar Estevez caught stealing 2nd base, catcher Max McDowell to second baseman Blake Allemand.

 

Now 10 for 19 in throwing out base stealers. Dude is certainly on my fringe prospect radar.
