Latest from Brewers on Tap TV - Lane Grindle with GM David Stearns

 

Lots of farmhand and prospect talk, too...

[Mass Haas]

Via the Transaction Thread --

 

Two exciting moves become official via MiLB.com --

 

19-year-old RHP Marcos Diplan (Yovani Gallardo trade) will surely be one of the Florida State League's youngest pitchers now, if not the youngest, as he jumps up a level from Wisconsin.

 

And recently-turned 20-year-old RHP Trey Supak, who along with Keon Broxton came over in the Jason Rogers deal, is officially added to the Timber Rattlers' roster from Helena, where the Pirates' competitive balance round 2014 pick (73rd overall) posted a stellar 0.76 WHIP in his first 14 Brewer organization innings.

 

Congrats to both (and to us, who get to follow along)!

 

By the way, the Timber Rattlers don't need to make a corresponding move, looks like the Manatees will need to, in order to reach the 25-man roster limit.

[TeesReport]

Wendell Rijo makes his BC Manatees debut today. He is batting 2nd behind Ray, playing second base.

[markedman5]

Wilkerson through 4 in Colorado Springs

 

No runs 2 hits 1 walk 3 k's. 62 pitches 40 strikes.

[markedman5]

Coulter HR with two outs... ties it at 5-5!! He is now 4-for-5 on the day. Bottom 9 coming.

[WV Brew]

Tyler Cravy walked the two men he faced and then left the game. Hope he's okay.

Sunday's Helena Game Postponed Due to Rain

Brewers and Mustangs To Play Doubleheader Monday

 

HELENA, MT - Sunday's scheduled game between the Helena Brewers and Billings Mustangs has been postponed due to inclement weather.

 

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Monday, July 11, with the first game scheduled to begin at 5:05 PM (6:05 Central). Each game is scheduled for seven innings, and the second game will start 30 minutes after the conclusion of game one.

Colorado Springs Box Score

 

Wilkerson threw 100 pitches in his last outing on the 2nd[/b], so not sure why he was limited to 62 pitches and four innings here; as you just read, Tyler Cravy's injury is "undisclosed" for now.

 

Colorado Springs Game Log

 

Orlando Arcia on base three times...

[Mass Haas]

The Shuckers' Junior Rincon has now retired all 24 men he's faced at the AA level.

 

Johnny Davis' first career HR just came in his 876th pro AB, and it tied the Biloxi game at 3-3 in the 9th inning, wow. It was a pinch-hit line drive as the first batter of the frame.

[homer]

Ghelfi has been on a tear recently

[Austin Tatious]

Diplan. One third of an inning. 3 hits. 2 walks. 3 earned runs.

 

I wonder if he was nervous and freaked out. He's young for that league.

[JohnBriggs12]

Wilkerson threw 100 pitches in his last outing on the 2nd, so not sure why he was limited to 62 pitches and four innings here

 

We can only hope Wilkerson was limited to 62 pitches because they want him strong in his next start wearing a Brewer uniform.

Final (11 innings): Bradenton 6, Brevard County 5

 

Marauders walk-off Manatees in Sunday matinee

By Donald Rieber, Jr., 27 Outs Baseball

Brevard County Box Score

 

Manatees fall victim to a second straight walk-off loss in extra innings.

 

Clint Coulter (5-for-6, 2B, HR) had quite an offensive game statistically, although he downplayed it in his post-game interview with MiLB.com. Coulter became the second Manatee in consecutive days to have an MiLB feature story (Ponce yesterday).

 

Corey Ray (2-for-6) with consecutive multi-hit games. Ray was thrown out at home in the 11th inning on Coulter's infield single.

 

Other multi-hit games were SS Jose Cuas (2-for-4, 2-2B, BB) who had a pair of doubles and C Fidel Pena (2-for-5).

 

Recently acquired in the Aaron Hill trade, 2B Wendell Rijo got an unfriendly 0-for-5 welcome to the Florida State League.

 

Brevard County Game Log

 

In his first appearance with the Manatees Marcos Diplan faced six batters and only retired one. Full appearance included in the 7th inning game log.

Manateees' Coulter breaks out with five hits

No. 13 Brewers prospect lofts game-tying homer on career afternoon

By Kelsie Heneghan / MiLB.com

 

Clint Coulter didn't think he was particularly locked in at the plate Sunday, but one couldn't tell based on the results.

 

Milwaukee's No. 13 prospect collected a career-high five hits, including a game-tying homer in the ninth inning, before Class A Advanced Brevard County fell to Bradenton, 6-5, in 11 frames at McKechnie Field. He scored three times and plated two runs.

 

"I had a couple of cheap hits, I got jammed on a couple balls that found holes. I battled late in some counts and found some barrels," Coulter said. "So I mean, it looked pretty on the stats sheet, but if you were at the game, I'm sure some guys were like, 'How many hits did you have?' They didn't even know."

 

The 22-year-old grounded out in the second to push his slump to 2-for-25. But it marked the final time he returned to the dugout empty-handed.

 

"I was due," he said with a laugh.

 

Not overthinking his tough stretch and just trusting that hits would come, Coulter slapped a run-scoring double to left field in the third to snap a three-game stretch without an RBI.

 

"I don't really go into any at-bat looking to do anything besides get a good pitch to hit, put a good swing on it," he said. "So that's all I was trying to do, not really worried about where the runners are or anything, just trying to get a good pitch to hit and drive it."

 

With a single to center in the fifth and another knock to left in the seventh, Coulter amassed his first game with at least three hits since talling four on April 17 against St. Lucie.

 

In the ninth, Coulter came up with his team trailing, 5-4, and down to its final out. The cleanup hitter lofted a fly ball to left off reliever Nick Neumann for his fifth home run of the season.

 

"[Neumann] threw a fastball outside and a fastball inside and I'm down 0-2, so I was just in protect mode and I got lucky," the right-handed hitter said. "A slider slipped out of his hand and just hung up for me. I put the right part of the bat on it and got lucky. Felt good I gave my team chance to come back and win."

 

Coulter got another opportunity in the 11th. With Corey Ray on second and Dustin DeMuth on first, the Washington native grounded a single to second baseman Pablo Reyes. The Marauders infielder threw home to get Ray out, but Coulter picked up his fifth hit.

 

"It was deep in the hole, [Reyes] made like a sliding grab to get it, so I was safe at first. [Ray] was at second base, but he rounded third hard, thinking it might squeak through the infield," Coulter said. "But [Reyes] saved it and then [Ray] just kept going home. The guy made like a spinning throw and a perfect throw [to tag him] at home."

 

In the 11th, Jerrick Suiter singled and came around to score on a fielding error by shortstop Jose Cuas, making a winner out of Luis Heredia (4-1). The Marauders reliever allowed two hits and a walk over three scoreless frames.

 

While his average now at .238, Coulter hopes he's gotten back on track. The 2012 first-round pick tallied his first multi-RBI contest since driving in three in on June 4 -- also against St. Lucie.

 

"Whenever you have success, it's going to help your confidence going into the next day," he said. "I did square one of my singles up and the double was squared up pretty good and the home run obviously, but there were a couple in there that helped out the stat line for sure."

Biloxi pitching sets club-record with 18 strikeouts on Sunday

Biloxi Boxscore

I'd say good for Taylor Jungmann, but somehow he managed to pitch just 4.2 innings and gave up 3 runs while setting the club strike out record... one of those things isn't like the rest. The reality is that XBHs are killers, no matter how many strike outs you record in a game. He did throw 98 pitches in less than 5 innings, 65 were ultimately strikes. I wonder if his performance will be an MiLB feature because of the strikes outs, I guess we'll find out.

 

This is losing is getting old, it's been a tough week, even today when the bats come alive a bit Stephen Kohlscheen who's been outstanding gives it up, very little has been going right for this squad.

Wisconsin Boxscore

If you like offense this was the game for you today!

 

The pitching wasn't great, but it was good enough to get the job done this afternoon. The flaky Miguel Diaz showed up today, he'll just lose it for an inning for whatever reason. Sometimes he gets angry and pitches his way out of adversity, sometimes it snow balls on him.

 

David Denson needed this day in a big way, he's been struggling since teams started playing the exaggerated shift against him, and the opposition won't change until he learns to hit balls where they are pitched. Most teams are pitching him away and he's still roping line drives and ground balls to the pull side for outs. He occasionally will beat the shift with a hard hit ball, but with 3 IFs on that side of the infield it doesn't happen much.

 

Mitch Ghelfi (4-5,2 2B) continues to rake, I've been updating his last 10 games daily for a while now, it's getting ridiculous. Jake Gatewood (2-5,HR), Luis Aviles (2-4,2B,HR), and Sthervin Matos (2-5,HR) added multi hit games of their own.
