Down on the Farm: 8/30/2025

AAA:  Reno Aces shut out the Sacramento River Cats 5-0.

Wade Meckler DH- 3 for 4, 2 2B, SB(11).  BA= .284.

Brett Wisely 2B- 2 for 4.  BA= .248.

Trevor McDonald RHP- 7 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 2 K's, 12/1 GO/AO.  ERA= 5.57.

5 of the 8 hits McDonald allowed were line drives so he didn't really get BABIP'd.  He still would have had Quality Start were it not for one of the walks and the error.  I haven't been a big fan of Wade Meckler but I have to admit he seems to be the type of high contact/lower power hitter Buster is looking for and has done enough in that profile to earn another look.  I guess there is only so much playing time available and I like that Buster slowed down The Churn to give guys a longer look so Drew Gilbert it is, for now.
