Down on the Farm: 6/22/2016

AAA  Tacoma Rainiers defeated the Sacramento River Cats 5-2:

Travis Ishikawa 1B- 2 for 3, 2 2B, BB.  BA= .200.
Ty Blach LHP- 5 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.67.
Sergio Romo RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 2.25.

Romo seems to be inching closer to returning to the MLB team.

AA  Hartford Yard Goats outscored the Richmond Flying Squirrels 7-6:

Christian Arroyo 3B- 3 for 5.  BA= .295.
Ryder Jones 1B- 2 for 5.  BA= .250.
Hunter Cole RF- 2 for 5, 2B, HR(7).  BA= .260.
Matt Gage LHP- 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 3.69.

Cole is hitting .351 over his last 10 games with 3 HR's.  I'm guessing it is not just a coincidence that Arroyo moved back to 3B when Matt Duffy hit the DL.

High A  San Jose Giants were idle.

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets were idle.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes edged out the Boise Hawks 3-2:

Manuel Geraldo SS- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .296.
Jean Angomas DH- 3 for 4.  BA= .529.
Victor Concepcion RHP- 6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.75.

Angomas moved up to 2'nd in the batting order.  This start by Concepcion was more like what we were hoping for.

Rookie AZL  Giants topped the A's 5-3:

Robinson Medrano 1B- 2 for 3, 2 2B, BB.  BA= .333.
Sandro Fabian RF- 2 for 4, 3B.  BA= .333.
Nathanael Javier 3B- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .500.
Conner Menez RHP- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

A Nathanael Javier sighting!  Medrano finally gets a gig in the States after languishing in the DSL for 3 seasons.  He improved his stats each season down there and is still just 20 years old, so he still has time.  One of my favorite prospects for awhile.  Love his size at 6'3", 180 lbs.  Fabian is an 18 yo graduate of the DSL.  Very nice pro debut for Menez, the Giants 14'th round draft pick out of The Master's College in Santa Clarita, CA.

*********************************************************************************

DSL  Rojos pounded the Giants 11-4(completion of suspended game):

Ismael Munguia LF- 1 for 4, 2B, BB, SB(3).  BA= .424.
Angeddy Almanzer 1B- 2 for 5.  BA= .353.

DSL  Giants blanked the Rojos 4-0:

Angeddy Almanzer DH- 2 for 4.  BA= .362.
Ricardo Genoves 1B- 3 for 4.  BA= .327.
Johan Herrera(17 yo)- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.25.
Oliver Pinto(19 yo)- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.71.
