[Mass Haas]

Just two days ago --

 

The Brewers must love getting tied up around internet and Twitter rumors and speculation, some of it perpetuated here. Just remember, to all in the organization, it just means fans care, which is a whole lot better than not caring.

 

Nice job by Brent here posting the full Rick Sweet Q&A on the topic.

 

Sky Sox explain strategy behind prospect Josh Hader's abbreviated starts

Brent Briggeman, Colorado Springs Gazette

 

***

 

The Brewers played the media, us, the fanbase, etc...

 

It's pretty clear why. You can't have a big league bullpen full of guys knowing that Hader would be up within a week or so after a couple of "abbreviated" outings to prep.

 

Rick Sweet sure played his role well here -- kudos, sir.

Final: DSL Cubs1 8, DSL Indians/Brewers 4

 

The Cubs plated four runs in the fourth inning and went on to double-up the Brewers co-op team 8-4 in an ugly defensive showing that saw six errors committed by the Indians/Brewers.

 

DSL Indians/Brewers Box Score

 

Joaquin De La Cruz got his second start of the season and suffered the loss after giving up four runs, three earned, over four innings of work. First baseman Antonio Perez was on base twice for the Brewers, going 1-for-3 with a double and a HBP but also committed three of the team's six errors on the day. Left fielder Jose Pena added a double and a sacrifice fly while right fielder Yorki Franco also added a double. Catcher Bryan Torres singled and drew a walk and second baseman Edwin Sano chipped in a base hit. Cubs runners were successful on six of nine stolen base attempts with Torres behind the plate.

Final: DSL Brewers 8, DSL Phillies White 5

 

The Brewers scored four runs in the third and four more in the fifth as they got back to .500 with an 8-5 victory over the Phillies.

 

DSL Brewers Box Score

 

Johan Dominguez, who tossed five scoreless innings in his Opening Day start, worked six innings on Friday and picked up the win, scattering eight hits and giving up four runs, three earned. Jesus Brea came on for the ninth and tossed a clean 1-2-3 inning to notch his second save of the year. The Brewers eight runs came on just five hits, but they did manage to draw five walks as well. Center fielder Pablo Abreu recorded two more hits, finishing the day 2-for-4 with a triple. Shortstop Jean Carlos Carmona went 1-for-5 and extended his hitting streak to five games. Right fielder Anderson Melendez singled and drove in a pair of runs while newly-signed 20-year-old catcher Joel Munoz joined the ballclub and made his pro debut as the designated hitter, going 1-for-4. Third baseman Aaron Familia drew a pair of walks and was hit by a pitch and young Venezuelan backstop Roberto Molina walked three times and scored a run.

Pretty sad when your AAA team is in first place and they have their 3rd bullpen game this week...Send some starters up...ridiculous planning brewers organization especially when they knew Hader was going to get called up....There are actually guys on the team that want to win.

[dacbrewers]

Wilkerson should of been called up

[brewmann04]

I agree Wilkerson should be up at 3 a and does not have anything to prove at 3 A. What a nice effort by the big battleship tonight and good to see the sheriff healthy

Yamamoto and Medeiros combine on two hit shutout

The Mudcats moved to within 1.5 games of first with the 1-0 win

By Gregory Young / Carolina Mudcats | June 9, 2017 11:28 PM ET

 

http://www.milb.com/assets/images/2/7/0/235500270/cuts/Yamamoto_1_en42wt4i_uhcf619n.JPG

 

Jordan Yamamoto (6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K) and Kodi Medeiros (3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K) combined on a 2 hit shutout. It was the first time Myrtle Beach has been shutout this season. It was the first win of the year for Yamamoto and the first save for Medeiros. The shutout was preserved in the 3rd inning when Carlos Belonis gunned down Trent Giambrone at the plate on a prospective sacrifice fly. That inning saw the last hit by Myrtle Beach in the game.

 

The only run of the game came on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Jake Gatewood (0-3, sacrifice fly). Corey Ray (1-3, 2B, SB) scored the run. Isan Diaz (1-3, 2B, BB) and Trent Clark (2-4) contributed.

In The Spotlight: Lewis Brinson

No. 1 Brewers prospect focusing more on play than on accolades

By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox

 

 

Lewis Brinson may be highly touted by multiple sources, but the No.1 prospect is focusing more on what he can control. (Paat Kelly photo)

[Mass Haas]

Not a Brewers story in any way (Mudcats, though), and is shaping up to be quite a legal drama -- also goes to show how fragile a career opportunity can be:

Colorado Springs Box Score

 

If Jonathan Viilar is going to be out for a while, Yadiel Rivera is on the 40-man, but Ivan De Jesus, Jr.'s bat would be a plus addition, even with PCL-inflated numbers...

1B Garrett Cooper with a 3rd straight multi-hit game, included a walk here...

[Mass Haas]

FYI, exactly one month after his last Biloxi game, traded OF Victor Roache made his Dodgers' debut on June 1st at the High-A level in the California League, he homered in each of his first two games, including a grand slam in game two. Overall, he's 4-for-19 with three walks but ten strikeouts with his new club in Rancho Cucamonga.

[Mass Haas]

A couple of days ago, the Mudcats posted several videos showing series-by-series highlights on their YouTube page.

 

They also thanked Corbin Burnes for his efforts before his promotion with this --

[Brewer Fever]

So do we have to include the DSLs for an organizational sweep? 5-0 from the big club on down to A ball, and 6-1 with the Dominicans

[Mass Haas]

Because YouTube demands it -- one more time!

Impressive numbers by LHP Caleb Smith (AAA Yankees), he's the pitcher the Brewers selected for the Cubs in Rule 5 last December. The Cubs decided they could not keep him and returned him to the Yankees prior to the season.

The Shuckers have essentially been playing with a 24-man roster, as RHP Taylor Williams last pitched way back on May 25th, and has not been placed on the DL (or Helena roster, or the Temp Inactive List).
