#Brewers OF Joey Wiemer continues to impress. With the secondbaseman shaded towards bag and down in the count 1-2, he went with pitch and lined it through hole into right for a base hit. He's hitting .444 in fall league so far, (12 for 27) with 3 DB, 1 HR, 4BB, 5K, 2 SB + Good D
Matt Dyer, Tampa Bay prospect in CF just made a highlight spectacular catch, diving parallel to ground to grab a ball and rolled over. Impressive.
This is the setup here tonight ;)
Buddy Kennedy of the #Dbacks just lined a base hit to right, his first in 8 AB. Ezekial Tovar of Col followed with a HR to left that just cleared the wall
Wiemer another base hit to right on a fastball down. Got cut down at third trying to advance on base hit to center by Brett Baty. Dyer again with the great play, this time a bullet throw that just beat the runner.
Abner Uribe has impressive arm, but continues to have pretty big control issues. 98-99 MPH 4 seam, a "cutter" at 88 that really dives. Tons of swing and miss, 3 k's in the 3rd. But also 2 walks, a WP, and a base hit lead to one run amidst the K's.

Kennedy fouled off a bunch of pitches and worked count full but then swung and missed at a FB down and in off the plate. 7th K in 9 AFL PA. But having better AB’s
Wiemer ANOTHER 3 hit game. Now batting .483
This time he worked the count full then hit a sharp ground ball down to 3rd that got by Andrew Bechtold (MIN). Scorer thought about it a while then scored it a base hit. Could have been an error. But another good AB

Joe Gray Jr (Mil) nice running catch to the track/wall in left center. That guy can go get it. Every time I see him play he makes several good plays in the OF and looks smooth doing it. He is already MLB quality defender.

Kennedy struck out again, this time on 3 pitches, all sliders. Call Strike, Couldn't check, then swung and miss for strike 3.
Funny to listen to fans screaming at umpire on a couple of strike calls that appeared wide. Robo ump in effect here at SRF. Twice tonight Carlos Cortes put his bat down thinking he'd walked only to have a delayed strike called on him. Usually a little quicker. Slower tonight.
Buddy bounced out to the pitcher 1-3 in his 4th and likely final at bat tonight.
Ezequiel Tovar's 3 run HR in 2nd was difference. Rafters didn't score again and didn't have a hit after 4th inning. But their pitchers held Scorpions to 2 runs on 7 H, 6 BB, 9 K. Tovar W/spectacular play deep in hole behind 3rd, long throw in 9th
3-2 Final, TOG 2:27 😎
