Down on the Farm: 4/15/2019

AAA  Sacramento River Cats vs Salt Lake City Bees Postponed.

*********************************************************************************

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Hartford Yard Goats 5-1:

Ryan Howard 2B- 1 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .250.
Chris Shaw LF- 3 for 3, 3B, HR(2), BB, Assist(2B).  BA= .318.
Brandon Beachy RHP- 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 6/2.  ERA= 3.00.
Yoanys Quiala RHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 3.00.

Big game for Chris Shaw goes deep for the second game in a row.  Keep your eye on Brandon Beachy, a MLB vet who is trying for a comeback after missing several years with a series of injuries.  Yoanys Quiala, 6'3", 235 lbs, 25 yo, was apparently signed as a minor league FA after missing half of last season due to a steroid suspension.  He is Cuban and had been in the Astros organization.

A+  Stockton Ports downed the San Jose Giants 6-1:

Heliot Ramos CF- 1 for 3, HR(4), BB.  BA= .216.
Joey Bart C- 1 for 1.  BA= .270.
Frank Rubio RHP= 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Heliot Ramos has dialed up the power early in his A+ campaign.  Joey Bart was lifted for a PH after suffering an apparent hand injury on a HBP in the 4'th inning.  The Ump ruled it was a foul ball but Bart reportedly appeared to be in significant pain.  That's less than ideal!

A  Augusta Greenjackets topped the Greensboro Grasshoppers 5-4:

Jose Layer DH- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .290.
Aaron Bond RF- 1 for 4, 2B.  BA= .206.
Shane Matheny 2B- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .242.
Ismael Munguia CF- 2 for 3.  BA= .258.
Sean Hjelle RHP- 4.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 8/2.  ERA= 3.95.
Jesus Tona RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(2).  ERA= 0.00.

Sean Hjelle continues a trend showing better secondary stats than ERA.  Jesus Tona continues to be lights out with a 2-inning Save.
