Down on the Farm: 5/15/2014

AAA  Albuquerque Isotopes lit up the Fresno Grizzlies 14-8:

Gary Brown(CF)- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .267.
Juan Perez(RF)- 3 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .478.
Adam Duvall(3B)- 3 for 4, 2B, HR(14), BB.  BA= .280.
Nick Noonan(SS)- 2 for 5.  BA= .329.
Mike Kickham(LHP)- 2 IP, 11 H, 9 R, 0 BB, 3 K's, 3 HR.  ERA= 5.08
Brett Bochy(RHP)- 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.70.
Erik Cordier(RHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 5.40.

Maybe a day off to reflect helped Gary Brown get re-focused?  Duvall is a monster right now.  He's slugging .611 on the season with a slash line of .339/.413/.911 for the month of May and .359/.419/.1000 over his last 10 games.  An ugly line for Kickham.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels vs Bowie Baysox rained out.

High A  San Jose Giants defeated the Stockton Ports 6-4:

Mitch Delfino(3B)- 1 for 5, HR(8).  BA= .331.
Brett Krill(LF)- 3 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .400.
Brian Ragira(1B)- 2 for 3, 2B, BB, SB(2).  BA= .213.
Chuckie Jones(RF)- 0 for 1, 2 BB, SF.  BA= .230.
Joe Biagini(RHP)- 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 3.89.
Tyler Rogers(RHP)- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.61.

I'm very impressed by Delfino!  Interesting line for Chuckie.

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets edged the West Virginia Power 2-1:

Carlos Diaz(LHP)- 7 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 3.03.
Donald Snelton(LHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.
Luis Castillo(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(3).  ERA= 2.65.

Be sure to check out a story on Fangraphs, linked to the left, entitled Prospect Watch:  Milb's Hardest Thrower? and other stories.  It's about Augusta reliever Ray Black.  Here's the key line in the article:  (the inning the author watched)…."might be the most electrifying inning of pitching I've ever witnessed."  Check it out!
