Down on the Farm: 8/28/2025

 AAA:  Sacramento River Cats obliterated the Reno Aces 21-7.

Wade Meckler RF- 3 for 6, 2B, BB.  BA= .282.

Grant McCray CF- 2 for 5, HR(16), 2 BB.  BA= .255.

Bryce Eldridge 1B- 2 for 6, HR(16), BB.  BA= .244.

Marco Luciano LF- 2 for 6, BB.  BA= .228.

Brett Wisely 2B- 3 for 6, HR(7).  BA= .244.

Tyler Fitzgerald SS- 2 for 5, HR(3), BB, SB(2).  BA= .257.

Hunter Bishop DH- 5 for 6, 2B.  BA= .264.

Thomas Gavello 3B- 2f or 4, 2 HR(8), BB, HBP.  BA= .320.

J. T. Brubaker RHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 4's.  ERA= 1.64.

It's obviously better to goose your numbers in games like this than not but you have to take it with a grain of salt.  Brubaker's pitching line is probably the most impressive performance in the game.  I'm betting we'll see him pitching in a Giants uniform before the season is done.

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels shut out the Akron Rubber Ducks 6-0.

Bo Davidson CF- 3 for 4.  BA= .244.

Diego Velasquez 2B- 1 for 4, SB(18).  BA= .252.

Will Bednar RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 4.87.

After a disastrous first 3 months, Ceballos batted .286/.382/.444 in July and .298/.375/.526 so far in August. Bo Davidson has a 5 game hit streak in which he is 9 for 20.  He is batting .325 since August 15.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds blanked the Everett Aquasox 4-0.

Travis Switalski LHP- 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 1.08.

Darien Smith RHP- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.26.

Charlie Szykowny reaches the 20 HR milestone.  He is batting .313/.355/.576 in August after a .260/.300/.490 line in July and a .297/.354/.538 line in June.

A:  Visalia Rawhide defeated the San Jose Giants 7-1.

Jhonny Level SS- 1 for 3, HBP.  BA= .234.

Lorenzo Meola 2B- 1 for 4, 2B.  BA= .167.

Carlos De La Torre LHP- 3.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K's, 3/0 GO/AO.  ERA= 1.99.

Between the graduations and the newbies still trying to find traction, the SJ Giants seem to have run out of steam as the end of the season approaches.
