Isan Diaz just hit his 20th of the year, a 2-run shot to give the @TimberRattlers a 6-2 lead in the 7th. #Brewers

Rattlers Top Bandits 6-3 for Fourth Straight Win

Diaz hits homer #20 to keep pressure on Burlington in playoff race

By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

 

Wisconsin Boxscore

Jake Drossner has made very limited strides with his control this season, this game could have gotten out of hand but 3 double plays bailed out Drossner time and again. Jake walked 6 and only struck out 2, but also only allowed 2 hits, and thanks to the DPs allowed just the 2 runs.

 

Monte Harrison (2-4) had the only multi hit game for the Rattlers.

 

Chris mentioned during the broadcast that Burlington doesn't play until 5 PM tonight.

 

Wisconsin Recap

[homer]

Methinks Aaron Meyers and Ronnie James Gideon have earned late season promotions.

[Mass Haas]

Chris mentioned during the broadcast that Burlington doesn't play until 5 PM tonight.

 

Burlington gets rained out and will play two in Peoria on Monday, so the Timber Rattlers, who own the tiebreaker with Burlington, are now within 1/2 game.

 

Burlington has eight games left, Wisconsin seven. Both teams have Tuesday off.

[Mass Haas]

Details later on the Manatees Sunday loss, but the Sea Cows still need to win one of their final seven to avoid an unthinkable 38-100 season.

[Austin Tatious]

Medeiros was pitted against Justus Sheffield today. Kodi was taken twelfth overall and Sheffield was taken 31st overall, both lefties in the 2014 draft. Michael Kopech is another out of high school who went in the thirties that year. Whether it's scouting, draft decision making, and/or player development, that is a major face palm at this point. The difference in the numbers between Sheffield and Medeiros is astounding.

 

Kodi has a live arm, so all we can do is hope he ever can develop command and then come close to, or even surpass his draft peers. He's got time.

[Austin Tatious]

One player who is pretty unsung is Troy Stokes. He's acquitting himself nicely.

[Mass Haas]

Although Mississippi won (not ideal), Pensacola did as well (a good thing), and Biloxi is still in good shape overall. We'll recap in more detail after Monday's action.

[markedman5]

Another excellent start for Wang.

He will be added to the 40 man after the season right?

Sky Sox Defeated 6-1 By Dodgers

Bullpen falters late as Sky Sox drop final game of road trip.

Colorado Springs Boxscore

 

Damien Magnifico (0.2 IP, 3 hits, 5 runs) imploded on Sunday, ruining an excellent outing from Wei-Chung Wang (7IP, 5 hits, 1 ER, 0BB, 5K).

 

Sky Sox hitters were, meanwhile, shut out by Jose De Leon over seven innings. The Sky Sox got one run in the 9th, but otherwise managed six hits and no walks (to go with 14 strikeouts). Nate Orf (2-4) and Garrett Cooper (2-4, 2 2B, RBI) led the Sky Sox batters.

 

Colorado Springs Game Log

 

Magnifico’s 8th inning collapse doomed the Sky Sox from any chance of coming back and winning this game.

Final: Tampa 8, Brevard County 2

 

Tampa's 15 hits overwhelm Manatees

By Donald Rieber, Jr., 27 Outs Baseball

Brevard County Box Score

 

As pointed out in the game story this was the Manatees 15th straight loss to Tampa this season. Also mentioned was that Manager Joe Ayrault was tossed early on in the game. Have to imagine it has been a frustrating season to be the skipper in Brevard County, hopefully they can manage to win a game in the final week of the season to avoid a 100-loss season.

 

Corey Ray did not have any hits, but did walk twice. Also walking two times was Dustin Houle (1-for-2, 2 BB). The lone multi-hit effort was Blake Allemand (2-for-5, 2B) who also had one of the two extra base hits for the Manatees, the other being a double off the bat of Mitch Ghelfi.

 

Manatees pitchers were hit hard, first Kodi Medeiros lasted 2.1 innings allowing 5 hits, 4 runs (3 earned), and 3 walks. Medeiros also committed a throwing error. Devin Williams pitched the final 5.0 innings giving up 9 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks and striking out 2.

Yes can't belive the brewers won't be add Wang

[FVBrewerFan]

DeLeon for Braun, get it done

[DHonks]

I was a little shocked when posters were reporting Wang throwing around 90. With the Brewers he was around 93-95 (fx had him as high as 95.5). Maybe this is by design, but I'm curious if there's still velocity in the tank. He's had nice primary and secondary statistics these last two seasons. He's worth giving a look

Final: Helena 5, Billings 4
