Down on the Farm: 7/23/2014

AAA  Albuquerque Isotopes edged out the Fresno Grizzlies 8-7:

Gary Brown(CF)- 2 for 4, SB(19).  BA= .273.
Travis Ishikawa(1B)- 1 for 4, HR(10).  BA= .261.
Chris Dominguez(SS)- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .269.

Dan Uggla makes his debut in the Giants organization and goes 1 for 4.  I still get a kick out of seeing SS next to Chris Dominguez' name in the boxscore.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels blanked the Akron Rubber Ducks 2-0:

Angel Villalona(1B)- 2 for 4.  BA= .249.
Austin Fleet(RHP)- 8 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.78.
Phil McCormick(LHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(1).  ERA= 4.25.

McCormick's ERA over his last 10 appearances is 1.54.  Fleet's ERA is 2.20 over his last 10 starts.

High A  San Jose Giants were idle.

Low A  Savannah Sand Gnats swarmed over the Augusta Greenjackets 7-2:

Chris Lofton(CF)- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(1).  BA= .262.
Craig Massoni(1B)- 2 for 3, 2B.  BA= .268.
Joan Gregorio(RHP)- 7 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 8 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.66.

Strange and wild line for Gregorio.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes topped the Spokane Indians 5-2:

Shilo McCall(RF)- 2 for 3, 2B,  HR(2).  BA= .213.
Jason Forjet(RHP)- 6.2 IP, 5 H 2 R, 0 BB, 11 K's.  ERA= 3.63.
Eury Sanchez(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's, Save(5).  ERA= 2.66.

I think this is, statistically, Forjet's best pro start.

Rookie AZL  Giants defeated the Padres 7-4:

Richard Amion(LF)- 2 for 4, 3B, SB(3).  BA= .309.
Rodney Price(1B)- 2 for 4, 2B.  ERA= .300.
Austin Slater(CF)- 2 for 4, 3B.  BA= .500.
Mitchell Boggs(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.
Dylan Brooks(RHP)- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 6.14.
Rodolfo Martinez(RHP)- 4.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 9.22.

Austin Slater makes his pro debut a successful one.  Mitchell Boggs. who was briefly the Cardinals' closer, is trying for a comeback with the Giants.

DSL  Orioles2 outlasted the Giants 6-5 in 10 innings:

Jean Angomas(CF, 19 yo)- 3 for 5.  BA= .313.
Mecky Coronado(DH, 18 yo)- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .372.
