Down on the Farm: 8/11/2018

AAA  El Paso Chihuahuas nipped the Sacramento River Cats 2-1:

Jordan Johnson RHP- 6.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 6.21.
Hunter Strickland RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.40.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels got away from the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 5-3:

CJ Hinojosa DH- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .274.
Dylan Davis LF- 1 for 3, HR(12), BB.  BA= .249.
Logan Webb RHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 0 K, GO/AO= 9/5.  ERA= 3.60.
Sam Wolff RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 7.94.

Logan Webb got better results today than in his first AA start, but the K/BB leaves something to be desired.  This was arguably Sam Wolff's strongest appearance of the season so far.

A+  San Jose Giants edged out the Stockton Ports 3-2:

Jalen Miller 2B- 2 for 3, BB, Sac.  BA= .278.

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets smothered the Greenville Drive 3-1:

Heliot Ramos CF- 3 for 4, 3B.  BA= .242.

Olbis Parra RHP- 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.88
John Russell RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(6).  ERA= 1.99.

Go Heliot, go!  Can Heliot Ramos finish the season with a .250 BA or higher?  Fun with numbers:  In 3 of his last 4 Starts, Caleb Baragar has allowed 1 ER with 22 K's and just 1 BB, in 18.1 IP.  The other Start was a disastrous 8 ER in 3 IP.  Consistency, consistency, consistency!

Short Season  Vancouver Canadians topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 8-5:

Diego Rincones LF- 1 for 4, 2B, HBP, Assist(home).  BA= .357.
David Villar 3B- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .285.
Jett Manning SS- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .200.
Gregory Santos RHP- 0.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 3.80.
JJ Santa Cruz LHP- 3 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 0.00.

Gregory Santos as struck on the head by a 105 MPH line drive off the bat of Griffin Conine.  He was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.  No updated on his condition as of this post.  I've said it before, I'll say it again.  It is not a question of if, but when, a pitcher is killed by a batted ball somewhere on professional baseball.  This foreseeable event can be easily prevented by requiring pitchers to wear protective headgear.  Another Assist by Diego Rincones.  Maybe they are relay throws but he must be doing something right on defense out there to get credited with this may assists.
