The two will be amongst the Pioneer League team set to face off against All-Stars from the Northwest League on August 6 at Memorial Stadium in Boise, Idaho. - the home of the Boise Hawks of the Northwest League.

Andrews continues to pitch well in AA, and hit too!

 

Also, good to see Shelby Miller do what he's supposed to be doing to rookie ball kids.

 

Dylan File is doing work this year. With two pitches that nearly break a foot its amazing he isn't walking guys.

 

And please Carlos Rodriquez.. please fill out your frame and add some power. The kid can just hit and hit and hit. RMV and he isn't 19 yet.

Tuesday's rained out DSL Brewers/Indians game vs. the DSL Red Sox #2 Squad will be made up as part of a doubleheader on August 14th. Surely you were all waiting on that nugget.

Rough starts by RHP Oscar Castaneda have been rare, but he surrendered five runs in five innings here.

 

Home run #5 for 16-year-old Toby favorite Jesus Parra, only 16 DSL players have more, and I didn't check how many, if any, have yet to turn 17.

 

17-year-old rookie second baseman Sebastian Burciaga is 3-for-3 already.

Final: AZL Indians Red 3, AZL Brewers Blue 2

 

AZL Brewers Blue Box Score

 

Not a whole lot of offense, again, but Orveo Saint his second pro home run in as many games. Andre Nnebe doubled and knocked in the other RBI. The Blues' two runs were no match for the Indians... three runs, though, and they fell to 3-4 in the second half.

 

All three Blue pitchers pitched pretty well, though Keegan McCarville did allow the go-ahead run on a homer in the 8th. McCarville, the Brewers' 36th rounder this past June, has some gaudy peripheral numbers and seems poised to bounce up a level or two before the summer is through.

I’m less worried about Carlos filling out his frame - he’s a pretty slight guy - than I am about his early-career proclivity to not take walks. He has well above average bat to ball skill but he’s been swinging at everything so far from what I’ve seen of him.

 

This is a very valid concern, that I completely overlooked.

Via this post in our Transaction Thread:

 

Not only that, but the player page lists Luis Contreras as being assigned to the now-defunct Venezuelan Summer League as a Cubs farmhand in May 2015. Contreras would have just turned 19 years old at that time, which makes the note plausible, though it appears he never pitched there.

 

Now that he's with the Timber Rattlers, we'll ask Chris and Kyle to check in as to what happened during that four-year stretch. It's possible that's just an erroneous footnote by MiLB.

 

AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "In Wednesday's postgame podcast, Chris Mehring and Kyle Lobner recall the familiar refrain of an early deficit and a late comeback attempt that falls just short. They will also delve into a few of the deadline deals and some performances around the rest of the system. There is also an origin story on new Timber Rattlers reliever Luis Contreras. In the clubhouse comments, hear from Contreras, Matt Erickson, and Antonio Piñero."

 

Thanks guys, for following up so quickly!

Moving on, minus two standouts

Missions will need to adjust without Dubon, Grisham

By Jerry Briggs / San Antonio Missions

 

Fans cheered as Mauricio Dubon's name was announced in the first inning. But then he got hit by a pitch on his first at bat, nailed on the hand as a ball from Aaron Wilkerson sailed in on him.

 

In reaction, he smiled at Wilkerson and faked a move, as if he might charge the mound. But he took his base, and the game went on. Even though Dubon finished 0-for-3 at the plate, he took a hit away from Cory Spangenberg in the eighth with a diving catch of a flare in shallow left field.

 

"Before the game I was talking crap, telling Spangy I was going to steal a hit from him," Dubon said.

 

Never change, young man.
