We'll link to this Dominican Summer League Brewers' thread as part of the Daily Menu all season to assist you with your familiarity with these young men.

 

MiLB lists this game as "postponed", but more likely it is now cancelled, as only two games remain in the DSL season, and neither game is against the Tigers' squad.

[markedman5]

First inning....Brinson...gone......again.

 

Rinse and repeat.

[rwa12]

I'm not sure I could be more excited about Brinson. He has officially caught Isan Diaz on my excitement list, which was no easy task.

[JohnBriggs12]

That Brinson is pretty good.

[markedman5]

I didn't think he was going to rinse and repeat tonight but Stearns just said he hit another one. lol

[markedman5]

Brewers Prospects

 

Meanwhile in Biloxi, Jorge Lopez is putting together his 2nd straight solid outing:

 

6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 73 P #Shuckers

[markedman5]

Chris Harris

 

Coulter is 2-for-3 tonight and batting .390. He's keeping it going.

[Hammer]

I'm very happy that Coulter has been moved out of that god-forsaken, offense eating stadium /rant

[hurricanecrush]

Brinson with a walk tonight too. He now does it all

[FVBrewerFan]

I'm not sure I could be more excited about Brinson. He has officially caught Isan Diaz on my excitement list, which was no easy task.

 

Agreed, and I was just thinking Erceg is catching up to Diaz on my excitement list.

[FVBrewerFan]

Credit where credit is due. Burgos with a great start.

[Noche]

Tucker Neuhaus batting second for the Arizona League Brewers.

 

Milton Gomez in CF? Is that the former pitcher?

[And That]

Assume Milton Gomez is actually Jose Gomez, just box score error. Milton Gomez had TJ surgery earlier this year I think?

Pitching, Power Lead Sky Sox To 5-0 Win

Sky Sox pitch two-hitter to win second straight in OKC.

By Aaron Cheris / Colorado Springs Sky Sox

 

Colorado Springs Boxscore

 

Lewis Brinson and Hiram Burgos ruled the roost for the Sky Sox this evening. Brinson hit two solo HRs (2-4, 2 RBI, BB) while Burgos threw one-hit ball over seven shutout innings. Burgos has been outstanding of late, winning his last four games. Brinson's walk was his first with the Sky Sox.

 

Andy Wilkins (2-4, HR, RBI, BB) added two hits including an HR, while Kyle Wren had two hits (2-5, 2B, 3B).

Ortega delivers fourth straight win in walk-off fahion

Shuckers pull within 1.5 games of M-Braves in overall standings

Angel Ortega delivered Thursday's game winning hit in the 3-2 win over the M-Braves. (Michael Krebs)

 

Biloxi Boxscore

What a fun night of baseball for me, the big league Brewers aside!

 

Jorge Lopez was very good until the 8th, he didn't break the 100 pitch line throwing 97 and 63 for strikes. The peripherals won't wow you, but 7 scoreless is always impressive, he even collected a hit today. I find Josh Uhen's bump to AA surprising given he's never been statistically dominant and I've been skeptical of his ability to miss bats at the higher levels, but he's done well in his first 2 Shucker appearances.

 

Angel Ortega is hitting an even .300 in his last 10 games, he was at .201 and is now up to .233 on the season.

 

Biloxi Recap

[gregmag]

Credit where credit is due. Burgos with a great start.

Is there any reason we don't think about giving Burgos a shot? To pick one scenario, which yes plays into a longtime bias of mine, wouldn't we get better potential value by giving Burgos five starts to see what he has than by dejectedly rolling Matt Garza out to numb our senses and dreams every five days?
