Late change for Wisconsin:
*-R.J. Seidel, Sunday's originally scheduled starting pitcher, will start on Wednesday at home against Cedar Rapids. LHP Efrain Nieves gets the start today with no scheduled long-man piggyback.

I thought I'd check in on some MiLB games before heading to my meeting tonight.
Rivas with a stinker, only 3 IP and gives up 4R. I forgot the playoffs when I was thinking about his IP, if BC gets past the first round he could conceivably get 18 more IP this season (1 start remaining on the season 2 playoff starts), which would push his total up around 149. That would be quite the jump in IP. edit. WI's nondescript lineup puts up a solid 5 runs, but the pitching staff manages to give up 4 runs in the 9th and they are now in extras. edit. Leadoff double against Ohlmann in 10th over McPhearson, sacrifice'd the runner to 3rd. With one out Isom elects to intentionally walk 2 batters loading the bases and switches to Almonte. edit. Walk off HBP on what I believe was a 1-2 count, WI loses.

I must be a jinx tonight, I just tuned into Helena as Stang drops a ball in CF. He first broke in, then broke back and dropped the ball which has now been
scored a hit.

Yeah, Wendt gave Stang the benefit of the doubt saying he's been "under the weather".
Stang has been a very passive centerfielder since he got to Helena. Also completely lost at the plate. He appears to be a good athlete, maybe that is why he was drafted in the 8th? Also, as a baseball fan, this Helena roster is complete crap. There are not enough position players now and there have never been enough OF's. It takes a lot from the game when all you have are righties in the lineup and the manager can't even situational pitch hit because there are no lefties or even enough guys late innings on the roster. I can understand this early season when guys are being signed and arriving but not after mid season. They should have brought some guys up, sent McPhearson back down or signed some FA's. I don't know if the organization is cheaping out but the fans in Helena deserve better. Also a lot of these guys are tired, I don't understand why they keeping beating up Garfield either. |

WI's nondescript lineup puts up a solid 5 runs, but the pitching staff manages to give up 4 runs in the 9th and they are now in extras.Wisconsin might have the worst offensive prospects the Brewers have thrust upon any minor league affiliate in a LONG time. If Frederickson, Peralta or Scarpetta aren't pitching - they really aren't worth following. |

"Wisconsin might have the worst offensive prospects the Brewers have thrust upon any minor league affiliate in a LONG time. "
Having seen the bulk of that line-up in 08 and 09, this seasons Helena squad is worse. |

Hopefully Cutter Dykstra's, and even Cameron Garfield's, late season surge will carry into next year, and Kentrail Davis should be a nice boost as
well, although I know we thought the same thing about Brett Lawrie, who of course didn't debut until opening day this year with Wisconsin, and he alone
couldn't carry the offense. I do think the pitching staff could be very good, but I agree that the lineup looks as though it will struggle to score runs.
The Brewers definitely need to do a better job finding the late-round Kenny Holmberg's and Tony Festa's of the world that can help solidify the lineups at the lower levels, although it sounds as though the coaching staff at Helena may have some issues as well. At first my response is that the focus on pitchers hurt the lineups at both Helena and Wisconsin this past year, but the Brewers still had quite a few intriguing bats mixed in the early rounds the last two years. Injuries to Jose Duran and Erik Komatsu haven't helped, and you would think that 2nd rounder Max Walla would be more polished than what he showed in AZ. Logan Schafer and Brett Lawrie appear to be fast-tracked, and Kentrail Davis will probably join them. Khris Davis and D'Vontrey Richardson get forgotten about when talking about options to help reinforce the lineups at either Wisconsin or Helena. MTBrew, I mentioned this in a thread a few nights ago (and if you replied to it I apologize for missing it), but have you seen Heckathorn throw yet? If so, what did you think?
I was saying boo-urns

colbyjack, I did respond on Arnett and Heckathorn on the 8/27 thread. Not to rehash it here, but I don't really have a good handle or insight on evaluating
pitchers. Unlike hitters (Yost says he just lets them hit at this level, not much in the way of coaching) and defense (which I can evaluate) I am unsure if the
coaching staff is letting the pitchers throw or having them work on specific things to the exclusion of the game and stats. It is obvious that some are/were on
pitch counts. It seems a lot like spring training to me, where guys you know that have good stuff look great one outing and then get shelled the next, because
they are working on something. Arnett fits that description. Heckathorn did look very good the other night, mixed his pitches well, good command.
Bucci I think is tired, his throwing motion is not a fluid as it was earlier in the summer. I also think the 09 Helena staff would have benefited from a more experienced catcher. Not to knock Garfield but a "veteran" 4 year college type guy would go along way in game calling and experience. I also commented on Dykstra 8/27, he is playing better this year, although his stats may not show that (or maybe he's just hot lately because his dad has been in town).

Thanks for all your insight MTBrew. It's nice to get these firsthand accounts on our prospects. Anyway, I know you've said that you don't have a
good handle on evaluating pitchers, but I was just wondering if you've been able to watch Odorizzi yet and if you have, what do you think of him? Thanks

wibadgers, I have seen Odorizzi on 3 occasions (I missed his first start, probably his worst outing.)
I really like him a lot! Very easy motion, throws strikes and doesn't walk many. His 6 BB's and 2 HR's with 33 So's in 40+ innings - tells me that he is a competitor. I think he is averaging around a hit an inning. I don't think he throws that hard, low 90's maybe, not a "power" type pitcher but he has very good control. He is hittable and it will be interesting to see how he does as he moves up and pitches against more advanced hitters. I think he is the kind of pitcher who will benefit from good coaching and experienced game calling. He looked very good the other night despite the 2 runs he surrendered, striking out 8 and walking none. Maybe a little mental lapse in the 4th inning but the defense didn't play real inspired ball behind him, although the runs were earned. He's a good athlete who can field his position. Tremendous upside, I believe he just turned 19 this year, he is tall and lean and looks like he could grow into his frame. I have to agree with colbyjack, the young pitching looks very promising. |

From Stars' GM Buck Rogers:
Our deepest sympathies go out to Buck Clemmons, a member of the Huntsville Stars extended family. Buck is the Stars' bus driver, and his wife, Martha, passed away Saturday morning while Buck and the team were down in Birmingham. In all my years in baseball I have never had a bus driver who solely adopted a team as Buck Clemmons has, and vice versa. He was going to retire after last season, but at season's end so many players wanted him back that he put off retirement to be with 'his boys.' Recently Buck brought Martha to a game and I had to thank her for sharing him with us (he's on the road two-and-a-half months each season with the team, never at home). Buck is like a father to the players, coaches and staff. It goes without saying that we share his loss.

Final: Tampa (Yankees) 7, Brevard County 2
MiLB.com: Yankees seal FSL division deal By Josh Jackson / Special to MLB.com From the way the Tampa Yankees played Sunday's game, they seemed to be the best in the Florida State League's North Division. The 7-2 win over the Brevard County Manatees, who won the first-half North title, just made it official. Tampa clinched a playoff berth Thursday with a 5-1 win over the Manatees and closed the book on the second-half division title with Sunday's victory. Brevard County looked invincible in the first half of the season, charging to a 7.5-game lead over the second-place Daytona Cubs and an 11.5-game lead over the fifth-place Yankees, who were 30-37 at the midway point. Tampa took advantage of the clean slate afforded by the second half, winning 43 games through Sunday. To that point, the Yankees had lost only 17 times in the second half, fewer than any other Class A Advanced team. Tampa will face Brevard County again in their first playoff series, beginning Sept. 8. Brevard County Box Score Four Brewer relievers tried to keep it reasonably close, stranding five baseunners for each other, but the Yankees broke it open against RHP Mark Willinsky; CF Logan Schafer was ejected by the home plate ump after striking out in the 7th; Caleb Gindl and Brent Brewer each singled twice...

Final: Nashville 7, Round Rock (Astros) 3
Nashville Site Game Summary: Link for Adam Stern photo, text follows -- Sounds Conclude Road Trip With 7-3 Win ROUND ROCK, Texas - The Nashville Sounds closed out their road trip with a 7-3 victory over the Round Rock Express on Sunday evening at The Dell Diamond in the finale of a five-game series. Nashville took three of five from the Express and concluded its nine-game trip with a 6-3 record. The win pulled the Sounds (71-65) within a half-game of first-place Memphis, which lost at Albuquerque, in the PCL American Conference Northern Division. Iowa also won its Sunday contest and joins Nashville just a half-game behind the Redbirds. Every Sounds position player recorded a hit in the winning effort, led by two-hit, two-RBI nights from Adam Stern, Adam Heether, and Hernan Iribarren. After Round Rock grabbed an early lead with a pair of first-inning runs against Sounds starter Chris Cody, Nashville took control of the contest with a six-run outburst in the top of the fourth, sending 10 batters to the plate against Express starter Josh Muecke. Corey Patterson opened the frame by reaching on an error and stealing second before scoring on a J.J. Hardy single. After Erick Almonte doubled to put runners on second and third, Heether put the visitors into the lead at 3-2 with a two-run double to left. Iribarren later plated Heether with a sacrifice fly before Stern capped off the frame's scoring with a two-out, two-run double. AUDIO: Adam Stern Two-Run Double Iribarren increased the Sounds' lead to 7-2 in the fifth when he plated Heether with an RBI single off Muecke. Round Rock wrapped up the evening's scoring in the sixth when second baseman Matt Kata (3-for-4) delivered his second run-scoring knock of the night, an RBI single off Sounds reliever Matt Ginter. Cody (8-7) picked up the win for Nashville after allowing two runs on six hits over five innings of work. Ginter worked the final four frames in solid fashion for the Sounds, allowing one run on three hits. Muecke (6-10) drew the loss after surrendering seven runs (four earned) on nine hits in his five frames of action. The Sounds return to Music City tomorrow to begin a crucial divisional matchup against the cross-state rival Memphis Redbirds with Monday's 6:00 PM opener of a four-game series. Right-hander Mike Jones (1-1, 5.40) will make the start for Nashville to face Memphis right-hander P.J. Walters (7-10, 4.84). Nashville Box Score Looking at that line with only one walk, you wonder how Chris Cody amassed 111 pitches in five effective innings; veteran RHP Matt Ginter has been the epitome of a needed veteran cog asked to do his job for a contending AAA squad...
