Brewers Minor League Link Report (7/29): Sigh of Relief in Appleton; Sounds and Shuckers Win as Well

Transactions:

RHP Connor Sadzeck was outrighted to Nashville. As a previously outrighted player (October 2019 by Seattle), Sadzeck has the right to refuse the outright and become a free agent. We'll await word as to if he indeed formally accepted this assignment back to the Sounds.

RHP Jack Cousins had his rehab assignment moved from ACL Brewers Blue to Nashville.

Final: Nashville 4, Charlotte (White Sox) 2

Via the Sounds' site, game details, and we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine:

Thank you, Greg Young, Voice of the Mudcats for this addition to the game summary you just read -

NOTE: Jheremy Vargas took a pitch to his helmet in the seventh and was forced to leave the game. His helmet absorbed most of the contact and Vargas is reportedly doing well.

The fateful decider - only error #7 on the season for Zack Raabe:

Likely over-worrying lineup observation: Catcher Jeferson Quero was the designated hitter Tuesday but has since sat out the last three games.

Final: ACL Brewers Blue 4, ACL Guardians 0
Box Score / Game Log
Combined two-hitter for the three Blue hurlers. fanning 13 while walking three, nice!

Gold with more walks (eight) than hits (seven). Three of the seven were two-baggers.

Final: DSL Texas Blue 5, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 3
Box Score / Game Log
Ugly, seven errors, so be sure to see how many earned runs were allowed by Brewer pitchers during their nine innings on the mound.

Final: Phillies Red 7, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 2
Box Score / Game Log
Clean defense in this one, but a four-run Phillie 8th bumped a one-run Brewer deficit to five.

Good place to remind everyone considering the need for this particular report to be a bit more streamlined this morning, that on a daily basis, we kick off a preview and an "as the games are being played" discussion thread on our Minor League Forum. Now please be aware that its volume of content will vary quite a bit from night-to-night, depending on the availability of our minor league gurus and contributions within from our posters, but you'll nearly always find noteworthy tidbits. Here's Friday night's thread.

On Saturday, all four full-season affiliate games are in the evening, so you'll be able to sample after the mid-afternoon big-league Brewers game. The Maryvale youth play their traditional Saturday morning game against each other. Both Dominican squads will be in action as well. Hope you all have a fine start to your weekend.

My weekend kicked off very well, sitting among so many others - for those of you who will also be in attendance at Fenway Saturday and/or Sunday, keep up the great work.
