AUDIO via Matt Pauley's Brewers Extra Innings Podcast Sun. 5/21: "The Brewers are in 1st place and the rivalry with the Cubs is heating up. The crew goes 4-2 on the road trip but the Cubs play some games raining out a game, which did not make the Brewers happy. Matt Pauley is joined by Gabe Stoltz from "Disciples of Uecker" to look back at the eventful week for the Brewers. Plus, Minor League Insider Brad Krause gives his takes on the current state of the Crew's minor league system."

Definitely take in the entire podcast, a fine listen, but for the purposes of the focus of this Minor League Forum, Brad's appearance is at the 32:00 minute mark.

I see Brinson is not playing again, has there been any update since he left the game after a HBP the other day? I tried to search on-line for where he got hit/a timeline to return and I found nothing.

 

Saw something somewhere that said he is day to day, so they're probably just being safe with him, maybe similar to Shaw just let the swelling go down.

 

Looks like the Sky Sox offense is doing ok though, just put up a 6-run inning.

In other Pitcher of the Week news --

 

Yikes, waiting on the winner's numbers

 

The winner was the Rangers' Pedro Payano - 2-0, 0.63 ERA, 2 G, 2 GS, 14 1/3 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 HBP, 6 BB, 8 K

 

Well Burnes made the team of the week from MLB Pipeline if that matters to anyone.

 

I believe the Brewers lead all organizations with the most players on that list so far this year..

Biloxi Shuckers can’t capitalize on Aaron Wilkerson’s strong start

BILOXI — The Biloxi Shuckers couldn’t take advantage of Aaron Wilkerson’s second quality start of the season on Monday. The newly honored Southern League Pitcher of the Week surrendered three runs early before settling in against the visiting Chattanooga Lookouts. While the Shuckers rallied in the seventh to tie the score, they gave the lead right back in the next frame, falling 4-3 at MGM Park.

 

The loss snapped a six-game winning streak and puts the Shuckers in a tie for first in the Southern Division with Pensacola at 25-20.

 

“It was one of those days where you were hoping for a key hit like (Clint) Coulter had,” Shuckers manager Mike Guerrero said. “And some days you need two to win.”

 

Wilkerson threw seven innings for a second consecutive start, tying a season-long. He allowed three runs on five hits and walk while striking out six.

 

“He gave us an opportunity to win the ballgame,” Guerrero said. “Anytime a pitcher throws seven innings and allows three runs you have an opportunity to win.”

 

Shuckers offense

 

Former independent league standout Art Charles had one of his better performances of the season Monday. The designated hitter was 2-for-4 with a single, double and run scored.

 

He helped spark the Shuckers’ third inning with a leadoff single to left field. After Coulter walked and Johnny Davis struck out, Mauricio Dubon singled up the middle, scoring the 6-foot-6, 220-pound slugger.

 

“(Charles) is improving,” Guerrero said. “It’s nice to see him start swinging the bat.”

 

The Shuckers’ best inning came in the seventh when Angel Ortega and Jacob Nottingham reached on a single and hit batter respectively. Following a Charles groundout, Coulter singled up the middle, scoring both Shuckers and tying the game 3-3.

 

“(Coulter) has been having better at-bats and hitting the ball a lot more solid,” Guerrero said. “It’s nice to see he’s coming around.”

 

The Lookouts (24-21) responded in the next inning, plating a run on three walks and a single all against fielder-turned-reliever Nick Ramirez. With two Lookouts on and one out, the Shuckers intentionally walked Jonathan Rodriguez to load the bases. Ramirez got a big strikeout of left-hander LaMonte Wade, but walked Ryan Stausborger to push the go-ahead run across the plate. A comebacker to Ramirez ended the threat.

 

“He needs to challenge the hitter a little more. Go after the hitter,” Guerrero said of Ramirez. “I prefer to get hit around to walked batters because at least you have a chance to make a play when you make them hit the ball.

 

“I think he’s capable of throwing strikes so he needs to make that adjustment.”

 

The Lookouts took an early lead in the second after Strausborger hit a triple off the right field wall and scored on a groundout. Rodriguez hit a two-run homer in the third to push Chattanooga’s advantage to 3-0.

 

Good looking out

 

Lookouts starter Felix Jorge earned the win, allowing three runs in seven innings, walking one and striking out three. Closer John Curtiss pitched a perfect nine with a strikeout to earn his seventh save of the season and keep his ERA unblemished at 0.00.

 

T.J. White led Chattanooga with two singles.

 

Next up

 

The Shuckers will take Tuesday off before visiting the Tennessee Smokies for a five-game series while the Conference USA baseball tournament takes over MGM Park. Biloxi returns home May 30 for a five-game series against Mobile.

By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

Wisconsin Boxscore

 

Not much good happened on either side of the ball in a lopsided loss. The lone bright spot on offense was catcher Mario Feliciano's double and walk. Joantgel Segovia had Wisconsin's other hit, a single. The Rattlers did manage six walks, though they racked up another 13 strikeouts as well. Gilbert Lara took the golden sombrero.

 

Tom Jankins and Dan Brown both had outings on the mound to forget. Luke Barker's return to the roster was a good one, though. Two scoreless, hitless innings from Barker, with four punch outs.

 

Wisconsin Game Log

 

Wisconsin's best chance to take the lead and then some:

 

Wisconsin Top of the 3rd

Pitching Change: Dakota Chalmers replaces Xavier Altamirano.

Gilbert Lara called out on strikes.

Caleb Whalen bunt grounds out, catcher Collin Theroux to first baseman Miguel Mercedes.

Demi Orimoloye walks.

Joantgel Segovia singles on a ground ball to center fielder Mike Martin. Demi Orimoloye to 3rd.

Mario Feliciano walks. Joantgel Segovia to 2nd.

With Monte Harrison batting, Demi Orimoloye scores on a balk. Joantgel Segovia advances to 3rd on a balk. Mario Feliciano advances to 2nd on a balk.

Monte Harrison strikes out swinging, catcher Collin Theroux to first baseman Miguel Mercedes.
