Down on the Farm: 4/12/2018

AAA  Reno Aces edged out the Sacramento River Cats 5-4:

Austin Slater RF- 1 for 3, 2B. BA= .381.
Chris Shaw LF- 1 for 3, HR(3), BB.  BA= .333.
Conner Menez LHP- 4 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 9.00.
DJ Snelton LHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 5.68.
Steven Okert LHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Menez gets the call up to Sacramento where he struggled in his AAA debut.  Snelton pitches 3 strong innings.  Wasn't Okert just called up to SF?  That didn't last long!

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels were idle.

A+  Stockton Ports topped the San Jose Giants 4-1:

Caleb Baragar LHP- 4 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 6.75.
Will Smith LHP- 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 9.00.
Nolan Riggs RHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Patrick Ruotolo RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.50.

Baragar apparently replaced Menez who was called up to Sacramento.  Both of those moves may be temporary. I think I had forgotten that Baragar was even in the organization! Will Smith begins his rehab assignment from last year's Tommy John surgery.

Low A Lexington Legends outscored the Augusta Greenjackets 6-5:

Heliot Ramos CF- 2 for 5, SB(1).  BA= .219.
Ryan Kirby 1B- 2 for 5, 2 2B, SB(2). BA= .200.
Jacob Gonzalez 3B- 2 for 5, 2 2B.  BA= .265.
Manuel Geraldo SS- 1 for 5, HR(1).  BA= .240.
Jeffry Parra C- 1 for 1, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .231.
John Gavin LHP- 5 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Camilo Doval RHP- 0.2 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 54.00.
CJ Gettman RHP- 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's. 1.69.

Gavin has 12 K's and 2 BB's in 9.2 IP over 2 Starts.  Does poor Camilo Doval need just one good appearance to get his confidence going or is he just not ready for this level?
