Down on the Farm: 6/24/2025

 AAA:  Oklahoma City Comets blasted the Sacramento River Cats 13-2.

Tyler Fitzgerald 2B- 2 for 4.  BA= .357.
Drew Ellis 1B- 1 for 3, HR(1), BB.  BA= .217.  
Carson Whisenhunt LHP- 4.1 IP, 6 H, 7 R, 4 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.64.
Alberto Jimenez LHP- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.50.

Oh look! There's Tyler Fitzgerald playing 2B.

AA:  Reading Fightin' Phils defeated the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-3.

Adrian Sugastey C- 1 for 2, HR(7), 2 BB.  BA= .206.
Aeverson Arteaga SS- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .182.
Manuel Mercedes RHP- 5.1 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 3 BB, 0 K, 10/2 GO/AO.  ERA= 7.62.
Evan Gates RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 2.88.

Another example of how pounding the zone with sinkers and getting groundball outs is not enough in the launch angle era.  You also have to get swings and misses from secondary stuff if nothing else to keep hitters from sitting on the sinker.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds sank the Everett Aquasox 12-5.

Scott Bandura RF- 4 for 5, SB(25).  BA= .300.
Drew Cavanaugh C- 3 for 5, HR(1).  BA= .417.
Jack Payton LF- 2 for 5.  BA= .256.
Dayson Croes 3B- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(1).  BA= .288.
Quinn McDaniel DH- 1 for 4, HR(6).  BA= .225.
Dylan Carmouche LHP- 7 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 10 K's.  ERA= 1.69.

A+ is Drew Cavanaugh's official placement at this point.

A:  San Jose Giants outscored the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 11-10. 

Carlos Gutierrez RF- 3 for 6, 2B.  BA= .352.
Walker Martin 3B- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .227.
Jean Carlos Sio 2B- 3 for 3, 2B, HR(3), 2 BB.  BA= .270.
Hunter Dryden RHP- 5.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 1.98.  

5.1 no-hit innings for Hunter Dryden.  He came out after issuing a 1-out walk in the 6'th.  Greg Farone LHP was promoted to A+ Eugene.  Maybe Hunter Dryden is next?

Rookie ACL:  Giants beat the Angels 4-2.

Andy Polanco CF- 2 for 4.  BA= .329.
Ramon Peralta 3B- 1 for 3, 2B, SF.  BA= .306.

Luis Hernandez RHP- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 2.19.

5 comments:

  1. Carmouche and Dryden have pitched well this year. The Giants have had luck developing pitchers selected in the later rounds of the draft. Roupp and Birdsong are recent examples of this.
    Polanco started the season stone cold with the bat. It's nice to see him heat up as the season progresses. His OBP and stolen base numbers are very good.
    Hopefully Posey takes your advice and selects LHP Schoolcraft in the upcoming draft.

  2. Where is Eldritch? He hasn't been in the lineup for 2 straight days...

    1. Bryce Eldridge was removed from a game on Sunday for a pinch-runner immediately after hitting a double. It comes as not surprise he is now on the IL with a hamstring strain.

    2. ...er it was Saturday's game. He is expected to be out 3-4 weeks and will rehab in Arizona.

  3. Eldridge missed time earlier this year with a wrist injury.
