Down on the Farm: 7/5/2017

AAA  Sacramento River Cats cooled off the Albuquerque Isotopes 6-1:

Juan Ciriaco 3B- 3 for 5, HR(4).  BA= .273.
Ryan Lollis 1B- 1 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .167.
Juniel Querecuto SS- 3 for 4.  BA= .238.
Roberto Gomez RHP- 6 IP, 8 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 5.92.
DJ Snelton LHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.13.
Derek Law RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 6.75.

-Between promotions and injuries, Sacramento has become a true AAA Team
-Ciriaco is 33 yo and has been in the Giants organization forever.  Gotta think there is a coaching job waiting for him when his playing days are over.
-Ditto Ryan Lollis who is 30 yo.
-Snelton seems to have potential for a lefty long-relief role.
-Law finally pitches a scoreless frame.

Madison Bumgarner LHP- 4 IP, 9 H, 9 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 20.25.

-Hmmm.... I guess it's good that Bummy went 4 innings and the K's/BB's look good but when he's facing single A batters, you'd like to see a few goose eggs on the board.
