Down on the Farm: 7/22/2023

AAA:  Sacramento River Cats edged out the Tacoma Rainiers 3-2.

Marco Luciano SS- 1 for 2, 2 BB.  BA= .313. 

Isan Diaz DH- 1 for 3, HR(7).  BA= .221.

Heliot Ramos LF- 1 for 4, HR(7).  BA= .300.

Keaton Winn RHP- 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.47.

Sean Newcomb LHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 3.38.

Randy Rodriguez RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 10.50.

Erik Miller LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.30.

I am getting a stronger feeling that we'll see Marco Luciano in a Giants uniform before the season ends.  I am having a tough time thinking of a good reason why Keaton Winn and Tristan Beck playing in AAA.  Sean Newcomb looks like someone who will get a shot sooner than later. 

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels outscored the Akron Rubber Ducks 6-5.

Wade Meckler CF- 2 for 5, BB, SB(4).  BA= .354.

Jimmy Glowenke 2B- 3 for 5, HR(4), SB(3).  BA= .222.

Carson Whisenhunt LHP- 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 3.20.

Parker Dunshee RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 3.60.

The Whiz is looking good in AA so far.  Can Wade Meckler's high contact/low power approach play at the MLB level?

(Late Entry)A+:  Eugene Emeralds crushed the Hillsboro Hops 13-4.

Jared Dupere RF- 3 for 6, 3B.  BA= .276.

Matt Higgins LF- 2 for 5.  BA= .292.

Luis Toribio 1B- 3 for 4, 2 2B, HR(11), BB.  BA= .234.

Brett Auerbach 3B- 2 for 5, 3 SB(8).  BA= .218.

Ghordy Santos 2B- 1 for 3, 2 BB, 2 SB(6).  BA= .232.

Hayden Wynja LHP- 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.00.

Luis Toribio is an enigma.  He's always been capable of putting up huge games like this, just not enough of them.  He actually has a pretty good OPS but the K's kill his BA.  He hit just .152 in June but is .293 in July so far.

A:  San Jose Giants beat the Stockton Ports 3-2.

Alexander Suarez LF- 3 for 5.  BA= .250.

Zach Morgan C- 3 for 5.  BA= .239.

Jose Ramos SS- 2 for 4, BB, 2 SB(24).  BA= .212.

Mauricio Estrella RHP(19 yo)- 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.50.

Jorge Garcia RHP(21yo)-3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Luis Moreno RHP(24 yo)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 3.79.

Estrella and Garcia make their full season debuts.

Complex Performances: 

Elian Rayo 3B(ACL, 20 yo)- 3 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .240.

Rayner Santana C(ACL, 20 yo)- 2 for 4, HR(3).  BA= .195.

Trevor McDonald RHP(ACL, Rehab)- 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.52.
