Down on the Farm: 6/27/2018

AAA  Sacramento River Cats edged out the Albuquerque Isotopes 4-3:

Steven Duggar CF- 1 for 5, HR(4).  BA= .278.
Chase d'Arnaud 2B/SS- 1 for 3, HR(11), HBP.  BA= .300.
Myles Schroder 1B- 2 for 4.  BA= .274.
Matt Gage LHP- 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 5.54.
Derek Law RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 5.14.
Ray Black RHP-1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(1).  ERA= 3.38.

Ray Black is unscored upon in his last 8 appearances, 1 inning each.  He has 10 K's and 0 BB's in that span.  Derek Law has a 2.45 ERA over his last 10 appearances.  This was Matt Gage's 2'nd QS in a row.  I am not sure if I consider 1 for 5 with a HR a good game from Steven Duggar.  It's an OPS of 1.000 for the 1 game, but I feel like 3 for 5 with 3 singles would be a better predictor of future success.  Not sure if that is right though.  Chase d'Arnaud is hitting .354 in June.  He has to be wondering what he has to do for a callup!

Caleb Simpson RHP- 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.53.

Aramis Garcia is hitting .314 with 3 dingers over his last 10 games.   Speaking of wondering what he has to do for a promotion....Luigi!

Someone asked Kiley McDaniel in his last chat about Diego Rincones.  He replied that Rincones does not have any standout tools that wow the scouts, but he had talked to a couple who think the bat is legit for something to that effect.

Juan Sanchez has pitched like a future ace early in the DSL season while Jean Pena has hit and hit with power in his pro debut.  Both are just 17 yo.  Sanchez has 26 K's against 4 BB's in 24.1 IP.  Reports about the upcoming July 2 international signing period continue to be very promising.  Keep your fingers crossed for a bumper international crop.
