AUDIO via Monday's Sky Sox pregame: Catcher/DH Josmil Pinto

 

By the way, if you listened to this from Monday's Link Report (and we know you did), then you know Pinto was very bullish on RHP Jorge Lopez now compared to the start of the Sky Sox season.

Jake Gatewood hit his ninth home run of the season for the Timber Rattlers on Tuesday afternoon. (Wisconsin Timber Rattlers/Nick Guenther)

 

Wisconsin Boxscore

Conor Harber deserved a better fate and Jake Drossner would be fine if he would quit giving up crooked numbers. He's not as bad as his ERA would suggest at first glance, he just gets behind too many hitters and ends up giving up too many hits and walks, but he's striking out over a batter per inning as well.

 

No multi hit games and the HRs will be covered by the game story.

The DSL Brewers game at home vs. the DSL Cardinals was rained out this morning.

 

The teams will play two Wednesday at the Cardinals' complex.

[Mass Haas]

He wasn't performing well in 2016 at AA, but still surprised to see LHP Mike Strong, not long ago a member of the Brewers' 40-man roster, released by his home state Twins back on the 20th.

AUDIO via Monday's Sky Sox pregame: Catcher/DH Josmil Pinto

 

By the way, if you listened to this from Monday's Link Report (and we know you did), then you know Pinto was very bullish on RHP Jorge Lopez now compared to the start of the Sky Sox season.

 

Wish somebody would tell Lopez......

 

 

In Round Rock, Kyle Lohse (yes...that Kyle Lohse) & Jorge Lopez have given up a combined 9 baserunners & 5 runs through 1 inning. #SkySox

[Mass Haas]

Manatees lose their 11th straight, this on a walk-off grand slam against closer Jon Olczak, who did not retire a batter.

 

Unfortunately, it's a road game, so Donald's report later tonight won't include Joe Ayrault quotes, which is perhaps for the best.

 

Must be a fun clubhouse these days.

 

On the "bright" (not really) side, this year's Timber Rattler batters are going to love smoking balls in California League ballparks next year.

[Mass Haas]

Hopefully these players who have the most combined time between the 50-89 2015 Timber Rattlers and the 23-51 2016 Manatees are keeping their spirits up, that's a lot of "L's" to deal with.

 

Not blaming these young men, just noting their service time in terms of these clubs.

[And That]

Yeraldy Martinez matches his HR total from last year tonight, with two long balls. And Erceg keeps getting on base.

 

Also finally learned how to pronounce Jordan Desguin's last name: dez-ginn. Hard g.

 

And in case you're wondering, Franly Mallen's last name is pronounced my-ann.
