Alternate Training Squad in Action this week

GRAND CHUTE, WI – Fans will have to wait just a little longer to experience live baseball at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium. The cool, wet conditions of the last several days has forced a cancelation of the Milwaukee Brewers Alternate Training Site Scrimmage that had been scheduled for 5:30pm tonight.

Fans who purchased a single event ticket for tonight’s scrimmage will be contacted by the ticket office to reschedule for another day this week.

There is some good news. The Milwaukee Brewers and the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are now able to announce the scheduled workouts through April 17.

Tuesday, April 13: Workout, Batting Practice, Simulated Game from 2:30pm to 5:00pm
Wednesday, April 14: Workout, Batting Practice, Simulated Game from 2:30pm to 5:00pm
Thursday, April 15: Workout, Batting Practice, Simulated Game from 2:30pm to 5:00pm
Friday, April 16: Workout, Batting Practice, Simulated Game from 2:30pm to 5:00pm
Saturday, April 17: Workout, Batting Practice, Simulated Game from 1:00pm to 3:30pm

Sessions will start with players on the field going through their routine of stretching, playing catch, and getting ready for the day’s work. There will be a short break before batting practice starts and another break after batting practice ends to allow the grounds crew to get equipment on and off the field and prepare for the simulated game.

Simulated games will be used over full scrimmages. These simulated games will allow pitchers and hitters to build up for the season with live game situations except that certain defensive positions may not be filled during certain half innings. Single session passes for Tuesday through next Sunday are available for $5 from the Timber Rattlers Box Office or through this link on the team’s website.

Fans will be admitted to the stadium at the scheduled start time for each day’s session.
