Down on the Farm: 6/3/2023

 AAA:  Tacoma Rainiers buried the Sacramento River Cats 11-7.  

Luis Matos CF- 3 for 5.  BA= .405.

Tyer Fitzgerald 2B- 0 for 3, 2 BB, SB(11).  BA= .302.

David Villar 1B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .313.

Shane Matheny LF- 0 for 2, 3 BB.  BA= .226.

Michael Gigliotti RF- 1 for 3, 3B, BB.  BA= .244.

Tanner Andrews RHP- 2.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 5.08.

Jorge Guzman RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.04.

Matos could draw a few more walks and hit for a bit more power.  His GO/AO is already under 1 so I don't think he needs to change his launch angle.  The dilemma with walks is guys who are hitting .400 tend to not feel the need to be more selective at the plate.  I guess he'll just have to wait for an opening on the active roster for the next challenge.  Could we see a reprise of last season for David Villar where he gets sent down after struggling to make contact then comes back looking like a different hitter?

Who is Turner Hill, you ask?  Graduate of Div II college ball and signed out of a development league a few days ago.  OF with a hit tool and some speed.
