Down on the Farm: 8/21/2018

AAA Fresno Grizzlies mauled the Sacramento River Cats 9-2:

Peter Bourjos CF- 2 for 5, HR(2).  BA= .300.
Tyler Beede RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 6.85.

Back to baby steps for Tyler Beede, but striking out the side is headed in the right direction.

AA  Bowie Baysox shut out the Richmond Flying Squirrels 5-0:

Ryan Howard 2B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .278.

Ryan Howard is picking up the pace as the season nears an end.  He has an 8-game hit streak in which he is 12 for 27 with 4 doubles, a triple and a HR.

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

A+  San Jose Giants blanked the Visalia Rawhide 1-0:

Bryce Johnson CF- 2 for 4, 2B, SB(27).  BA= .258.
Tanner Murphy C- 2 for 3.  BA= .178.
DJ Myers RHP= 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.89.
Peter Lannoo RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.13.

Low A  Asheville Tourists outslugged the Augusta Greenjackets 10-9:

Heliot Ramos PH- 1 for 1, 2B.  BA= .242.
Logan Baldwin RF- 4 for 6, 2 2B, 3B.  BA= .247.

Shane Matheny 3B- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .198.
Jeffry Parra C- 2 for 4.  BA= .196.

Fitting that the Asheville Tourists are a Rockies affiliate and play in an extreme hitter's park.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes topped the Boise Hawks 9-6:

Kyle McPherson 2B- 3 for 4, 2 2B, BB.  BA= .306.
Diego Rincones LF- 1 for 2, 2B, 2 BB, HBP.  BA= .311.

Nico Giarratano SS- 2 for 3, BB.  BA= .281.
Matt Frisbee RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 3.47.

Who is the starting 2B for the San Jose Giants next year, Orlando Garcia or Kyle McPherson?  Joey Bart was charged with a PB and 2 throwing errors.  Maybe that is why he is still in S-K?

  1. I want to see Beade pitch in the Bigs Again just so on MLB Players Weekend he can wear his jersey with "Baby Steps" printed on his back.

  2. Washington Nats Tear Down has begun: Daniel Murphy dealt to Cubs, other players also jettisoned. Harper put on waivers and claimed by LA Dodgers only to have Nats pull Harper back. Note the Nats really did not get anything valuable for Murphy - similarly Cutch, if dealt, may just be a salary dump as well.

    1. If the Dodgers claimed, the Giants must have passed!
      Isn't all that stuff "hush hush"?

    2. Not disclosed, but the waiver priority is known. Which tells us, along with the 'Buster getting season ending surgery' talk says they've cashed it in.

  3. Should Ryan Howard get a little taste of AAA?

    1. I think so. Bump Miller and Quinn up to AA too.

    2. Probably too late to make any significant difference in development at this point.
