With the big league afternoon game, the daytime minor league action, and the two All-Star breaks, there may never be a better opportunity for you to listen in on the Helena kids, as they are the only media (audio) option for this evening. Craig Durham is your new play-by-play voice there, as we helped feature in Tuesday's Link Report.

[JohnBriggs12]

Hate to say it but Coulter and Meideros are looking like the b word. Meideros still has time but Coulter is no longer young for his classification and his regression this year is stunning.

[rwa12]

Neither of them are living up to expectations. My expectations for Meideros aren't all that high to begin with, but I'll give him the benefit of more time to figure out his control. I'd like to see Coulter in AA, just to see if he needs to escape Brevard and that league. Not that he has earned it, but it'll be hard to see if he improves at all at A+.

[WV Brew]

Like I said in another thread, Coulter has had an oblique problem. None of us know the extent of that and how it has held him back this year. As a comparison point, look at Phil Ervin, the number 10 prospect of the Reds according to MLB. He was:

 

.242/.338/.375 last year at Daytona while Coulter was:

.246/.329/.397

 

Ervin has been promoted to Pensicola, even last year while Coulter languishes.

[And That]

Medeiros turned 20 less than a month ago and has been very young for his league at every stop. He's a long, long way away from bust status.

Final: DSL Brewers 12, DSL Angels 5

 

Back to .500 at 7-7...

 

DSL Brewers Box Score

 

The good guys scored a dozen runs on just eight hits because they drew seven walks and were hit by pitches five times (thankfully, no one left the game injured).

 

18-year-old 2nd year Venezuelan infielder Javier Castillo was on base four times, including a double, and knocked in five.

 

DSL Brewers Game Log

 

19-year-old Dominican rookie RHP Jenri Montas has allowed only two hits and two earned runs in nine innings of work spanning three appearances (two starts). He's walked four and hit three in that span, but still, impressive.

[markedman5]

Nightmare ballpark at CS got Hader today. 6 runs on 8 hits in only 3 innings

[reillymcshane]

Tim Dillard. 9 runs in 2 innings. I love the guy, but maybe it's time to move on...

[DHonks]

Tim Dillard. 9 runs in 2 innings. I love the guy, but maybe it's time to move on...

 

I triple-bogeyed my first hole yesterday. Good thing I didn't give up on the round, because I shot 76.

 

Everyone is allowed some bad outings.

[brewmann04]

Sorry but i agree about dilliard but at this point it does not look like anyone is in line to get bumped up.

[heresrobin]

A couple of HRs for Arcia today. Very nice.

[Jenkins5]

Arcia drills two bombs today

[And That]

23rd rounder Ronnie Gideon was apparently signed at some point, and is making his pro debut for Helena tonight as the DH.

 

Benoit working in the middle 80s with his fastball.

 

Fortuno seems to have a good curveball today. He works in the mid 80s as well. He's mixed in a few change ups.

Final: Dunedin 5, Brevard County 1

 

Manatees swept by Dunedin to end first half

By Donald Rieber, Jr., Manatees Examiner

 

***

 

Brevard County Box Score

 

The Manatees combined for just 11 hits and 3 runs over the three day series with Dunedin. Of tonights 4 hits only Jose Cuas' home run was an extra base hit. It was Cuas' third home run of the season.

 

The Manatees were 0-for-1 with runners in scoring position.... Yes, just a lone at-bat with a runner in scoring position.

 

Kodi Medeiros went 4.0 IP allowing 6 hits, 5 runs, 4 walks, with 2 strikeouts. Medeiros threw just 42 of 82 pitches for strikes.

 

Brevard County Game Log

Final: Arizona Brewers 6, Arizona Angels 4, ten innings

 

Weather: 108 degrees, clear.

Wind: 8 mph, L to R.

 

Maryvale Box Score

 

It was 2-2 after nine innings.

 

19-year-old Venezuelan 3rd-year-pro and 1st-year-stateside RHP Nelson Hernandez with a sweet start, 4 IP, 4 H, 0 BB, 3 K - no pitch counts logged for this league.

 

Hernandez was followed by the pro debuts of 33rd round RHP Emerson Gibbs (Tulane bio - 1 IP, 1 R) and 22nd round Beloit native RHP Cameron Roegner (Bradley bio - 2 IP, 1 R).

 

Third-year pro RHP Juan Diaz tossed a scoreless 9th to net the win in his stateside debut, but needed help from LHP Boanerges Nova to close out the victory after the A-Crew plated four in the top of the 10th.

As the designated hitter batting 9th, 20-year-old 2nd-year-pro Jay Feliciano will always remember his first stateside hit.

 

Leadoff CF Jose Gomez has now walked three times in three games, perhaps taking advantage of his 5'3" frame in the process.

 

2B Trey York, the 9th round pick out of East Tennessee State had his first base hit (congrats!), a double, in his third game now 1-for-12).

 

This was the stateside debut and first stateside knock for 19-year-old Venezuelan catcher Yoel Vasquez, a 3rd-year-pro who missed all of 2015 (hamate fracture in his left wrist).

[Mass Haas]

Final: Helena 9, Billings 6

 

Brewers complete Mustang sweep

 

A five-run fifth inning boosted the Helena Brewers to 9-6 win over the Billings Mustangs on Wednesday night at Dehler Park in Billings.

 

Helena (5-1), which swept the two-game series, trailed the Mustangs (3-3) by four runs heading into the fifth frame before the surge of runs.

 

A wild pitch and a balk gave the Brewers a pair of runs and a sacrifice fly by Ronnie Gideon made it a 3-0 contest. A Franly Mallen RBI single and Caleb Whalen RBI double (Whalen's first professional hit) gave the team a lead it wouldn't relinquish.

 

Mallen went 3 for 4 with an RBI, Cooper Hummel was 2 for 3 with an RBI and three runs and Lucas Erceg went 2 for 3 for the Brewers, who've racked up a lofty 67 hits in six games.

 

Gideon, a 23rd-round pick out of Texas A&M (college bio), recorded a two-RBI double in his professional debut.

 

Gentry Fortuno, who came in for relief in the fourth, earned the win, giving up three runs (only one earned), five hits and tallying five strikeouts in six innings of work.

 

Juan Ortiz's five-game hit streak came to an end.

 

Jose Siri and Arajo Lopez paced Billings, each going 3 for 5.

 

The Brewers begin a four-game road series with the Great Falls Voyagers with a 7:00 PM (8:00 Central) game Thursday at Centene Stadium.

 

Helena Box Score

 

Bullpen-saving 75-pitch effort by RHP Gentry Fortuno, taking over after RHP Rodrigo Benoit's three-inning start.

 

A little sloppy -

 

E: Erceg (2, throw); Segovia (1, fielding); Fortuno (1, pickoff); Mallen (1, missed catch).

 

2nd round 3B Lucas Erceg now 8-for-20, now we'll wait for that first base on balls.

 

How many iPhone puns does Billings' Jose Siri hear?

It was a wild split doubleheader afternoon in Colorado Springs.

 

We'll work on making a formal post later this AM, if someone grabs that with any additional notes before I do, much appreciated.

[Mass Haas]

 

[fondybrewfan]

Erceg off to a really nice start.

 

Not a whole lot of pitching in Colorado Springs was there? Ouch. Medeiros struggled again; I had such high hopes for him this year and for him to be struggling so bad in a pitchers haven is discouraging. Well the whole darn team has been discouraging.

 

Having both Colorado Springs and Brevard County as affiliates does create a unique challenge for our coaches and talent evaluators. Less than ideal. I am starting to feel bad for Coulter; he just needs a fresh start somewhere else.

Final, Game One: Colorado Springs 10, Memphis 9, nine innings (scheduled for seven)

Tough having to come back with another twinbill today, unfortunately Tim Dillard had to take an extra pounding, and even then could not record an out in the 3rd inning...
