Down on the Farm: 4/18/2015

AAA  Sacramento River Cats defeated the Salt Lake City Bees 5-1:

Ehire Adrianza(SS)- 2 for 5.  BA= .238.
Jarrett Parker(RF)- 2 for 3, HR(4), BB, SB)1).  BA= .267.
John Bowker(1B)- 2 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .258.
Darren Ford(CF)- 2 for 3, BB, 2 SB(3).  BA= .278.
Austin Fleet(RHP)- 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Brett Bochy(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 5.06.
Steven Okert(LHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.69.

I hope Fleet was pulled for pitch count reasons.  4 perfect innings.  I think this was his 2015 debut.  Parker could be positioning himself for a call up.

AA  Reading Fightin' Phils edged the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-5 in 10 innings:

Kelby Tomlinson(SS-2B)- 3 for 5, 2B, HR(1).  BA= .382.
Kyle Crick(RHP)- 4.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 2.08.
Kelvin Marte(LHP)- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Stephen Johnson(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Tomlinson looks like he is ready to move up.  Crick's line is better than it looks at first glance.

High A  Bakersfield Blaze blanked the San Jose Giants on just 3 hits, 3-0:

Donald Snelton(LHP)- 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 7/0.  ERA= 2.70.
Martin Agosta(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 11.51.
Ian Gardeck(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 2.08.

Obviously no offensive highlights.  Even though his ERA looks terrible, Agosta has 12 K's against just 2 BB's in 7 IP so far this season.

Low A  A rainy night in Georgia washed out the Rome Braves vs Augusta Greenjackets game.
