Hopefully with Brewers sticking with both Demi & Lara, next season they will come in adjusted & ready to hit ground running.

[Jenkins5]

Michele Vassalotti.... not a bad first 3 outings for the 6'2 180 lbs 16 year old pitcher! Ernesto Martinez is an OBP monster! .200 over batting average! Not to mention he has been getting going at plate!

[OnaBadger58]

Freddy Peralta in relief tosses 4IP 1H OR 2BB 6K lowering his AA ERA to 2.59. If he can control the walks, he could see Milwaukee next year.

Oof.

 

Hopefully with Brewers sticking with both Demi & Lara, next season they will come in adjusted & ready to hit ground running.

 

I am interested why they didn't send both Lara and Demi back down to Helena like they did w gatewood and Harrison. Both are still young for A ball and although have shown flashes seem completely overwhelmed and out of sorts. It would be nice to see them build some confidence going into next year.

 

They could probably switch them w Dallas Carroll and zach clark who are both older and hitting well

[Eye Black]

Of the 12 players in the Carolina League with 20+ doubles, three of them are Mudcats (wow, also noticed that Sam Haggerty of Lynchburg who has 20 doubles also has 11 triples, holy cow).

With two outs and two men on base in the 1st inning, Jose Sermo took a routine ground ball from Lucas Erceg and dropped it as he was transferring the ball from glove to throwing hand. Monte Harrison (2-4, HR, 2 SB) then hit a grand slam which made the score 5-0 and the game was well in hand for the Mudcats. Corey Ray (2-5, 2 2B) chipped in with a pair of doubles.

 

Marcos Diplan (6 2/3 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 7 K) was on his game with good command of all his pitches until he tired a bit late in his start. Parker Berberet (2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K) followed Diplan on the mound. Nate Griep recorded the final out of the game in relief of Berberet.

Save for a Wes Wilson walk, the results for the top half of the Rattlers lineup aren't for the faint of heart.

 

Yay for respectable pitching.

VIDEO via WLOX: More from the Biloxi game

[Mass Haas]

Game story via the Biloxi Sun-Herald has multiple quotes from Manager Mike Guerrero, including --

 

Biloxi’s pitching also deserves plenty of credit for Monday’s win.

 

Starter Aaron Wilkerson (8-4) struck out five while allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in five innings to earn the win. Freddy Peralta was effective in relief, allowing one hit and two walks in four scoreless frames, striking out six.

 

Guerrero said the plan all along was to piggyback Peralta with Wilkerson’s start on Monday.

 

“We wanted to do that at least one time around to give them breathers with their pitches,” he said. “It worked out great. Everything they did is how we gameplanned.”

Helena Stops Losing Streak With 8-6 Win

Contributions up and down help the Brewers snap their four-game losing streak, set up opportunity for series splits with Raptors

By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers

 

Thanks Garrett, for an outstanding recap at the link above, learn which H-Crew member was "finished the night 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored."

Helena Box Score

 

Check out 2017 3rd rounder K.J. Harrison's game log -- hits in all six contests thus far, often multiples. Still just one game behind the plate, otherwise designated hitter. Could be fun once catching guru Charlie Greene gets a hold of him.

 

20-year-old Nic Pierre on base three more times and now sports a .354/.415/.438 line after 48 AB's.

 

Venezuelan RHP Nelson Hernandez trusts his fielders. The 4th-year-pro is only 20 years old. Career-wise, only 33 walks (and only 133 K's) in 202.2 innings.

Colorado Springs Game Log

[igor67]

Harrison would have an overall SLG across both levels of .506 if you included his 2 HR all-star performance and an OPS over .860 to go with it. Given how super toolsy both he and Gatewood are I can only dream they take another development step forward half as far as they did this year and we're looking at 2 top 10 prospects.
