The Timber Rattlers play the early game today, looking to bounce back from a close loss on Friday. Felix Valerio brings his 6-game hitting streak into the contest, along with a .929 OPS in 71 PAs in High-A:

 

1 - Frelick - CF

2 - Valerio - 2B

3 - Wiemer - RF

4 - Warren - 3B

5 - Gray - LF

6 - McGee - 1B

7 - Zamora - SS

8 - Kahle - C

9 - L. Castillo - DH

X - Bennett - P

Zach Mort is on the mound, looking for his 4th win in his 4th start for Carolina, which needs to snap a 2-game skid:

Box: Wisconsin 4, Beloit 1

 

T-Rats jump out to an early lead and hang on. Solo shots from Valerio and Warren would be all they need as four pitchers combine for 12 K's and 1 earned run.

Ethan Small makes his third start for Nashville since returning from injury, as the squad look to repeat yesterday’s victory:

Korry Howell is coming around against AA pitching, with a 6-game hitting streak to raise his Biloxi OPS to .728. He and the Shuckers seek a second straight win:

 

1 - Hamilton - SS

2 - Howell - 3B

3 - Longo - CF

4 - Dillard - DH

5 - Palma - LF

6 - Spanberger - 1B

7 - Lutz - RF

8 - Holt - 2B

9 - Rios - C

X - Zavolas - P

[Joseph Zarr]

Carolina with the ol' 3-21 score for the L column. Gulp. The Shorebirds were eating quite the feast off Mudcat pitching.

[DHonks]

Small with a fantastic year except for the sprained finger ligament. He's really put himself in position for a AAA/MLB role next year.

[Mass Haas]

Rejoining the community after a bit of time on the bereavement list. No need to post, I know you've got my back, folks, but thanks.

Lugbauer's Blast Shocks Shuckers In Ninth

Dillard Hits First Double-A Homer, Zavolas Spins Seven Quality Frames In Loss

By Garrett Greene

 

***

 

RHP Noah Zavolas has pitched seven full innings in five of this 20 starts, 29 walks in 107.2 IP.

 

Looking back to April, RHP Zach Vennaro being assigned to Biloxi from Maryvale in 2019 and the lost 2020 season was a reach, despite Vennaro's presence in big league spring training games in 2021. Vennaro turned 25 in June.

AUDIO Via Reviewing the Brew's "Cold Brew Podcast": "Co-hosts David Gasper and Matt Carroll celebrate one whole year of the Cold Brew Podcast and joining as the guest this week is Garrett Greene, the play by play broadcaster for the Biloxi Shuckers, the Milwaukee Brewers Double-A affiliate as we continue our tour through the minor leagues.

 

David, Matt, and Garrett discuss the Shuckers 2021 season, what it means to have fans back, and how Biloxi was impacted by the recent Hurricane Ida. Getting into the prospects, we discuss the seasons of pitchers such as Ethan Small, Zack Brown, Noah Zavolas, Leo Crawford, and Lucas Erceg. At the plate, we talk about some of the Crew's top hitting prospects, including Brice Turang and Garrett Mitchell, who have both donned Shuckers uniforms this season. Also discussed was Tristen Lutz, David Hamilton, Thomas Dillard, and others. It's a bit of a super-sized episode this week with lots of in-depth discussion on these Brewers prospects."

Rattlers Top Snappers 4-1 on Saturday afternoon

Bennett pitches 5-2/3 scoreless; Valerio and Warren homer for Wisconsin

By Chris Mehring

 

LG Castillo's solid season in a limited role continues.

 

Kudos to many others, but if Felix Valerio is not the Organization's Player of the Year, there is a problem. Thank you Mets, for the lottery ticket that is half-way scratched to victory.

Oh my, look for the Sal Frelick catch in center...

AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "The Timber Rattlers played from ahead on Saturday afternoon and beat the Beloit Snappers 4-1 at home. Chris Mehring & Kyle Lobner talk about the game, some stats and the plays that mattered. Nick Bennett, Zavier Warren, and Bullpen Coach Michael O'Neal have some comments from the clubhouse, too."

Carolina Suffers Record Setting 21-3 Loss

The Mudcats set a single-game franchise record with 21 runs allowed in the loss

As noted within, Mudcats slipping --

 

"The loss dropped the Mudcats into second place behind the Down East Wood Ducks in the Low-A East Central division standings. It also dropped Carolina into a tie for the league’s third-best record overall and second playoff spot."

 

Down East vs. Carolina for six games starting Tuesday, at home in Zebulon.

Box: ACL Brewers Gold 4, ACL Brewers Blue 2

 

2021 18th round RHP Ryne Moore (Old Dominion) unscored upon in his first four pro relief appearances (0.53 WHIP).

 

Still loving 17-year-old RF Hendry Mendez, compare how fantastically consistent he's been in his DSL and Maryvale stints.

Box: DSL Brewers #1 Squad 3, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 0, seven innings

 

All combined nine hits were singles, no players with multiple.

 

The pitchers combined for seven walks and a HBP in 13 innings, despite the low run totals.

It has been nice to see the never officially on the injured list but just not playing Drew Smith in the ACL lineup the last two days.
