Down on the Farm: 4/7/2019

AAA  Sacramento River Cats buried the Tacoma Rainiers 10-3:

Henry Ramos RF- 1 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .357.
Donovan Solano 2B- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .417.
Steven Vogt C- 1 for 4, HR(2), BB.  BA= .154.
Zach Green 3B- 2 for 3, 2 HR(2), BB.  BA= .500.
Breyvic Valera SS- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .286.
Ty Blach LHP- 4 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 7/1.  ERA= 6.75.
Pat Venditte LHP/RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.
Williams Jerez LHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.
Sam Coonrod RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.

Zach Green's strong preseason is carrying over into the regular season. Hey!  You don't suppose Zach Green could play LF?  Ty Blach gave up a 3-spot in the first inning then settled down.  I think we could see Williams Jerez in SF before the season is over, especially if the Giants are sellers at the trade deadline.

AA  Hartford Yard Goats blanked the Richmond Flying Squirrels 3-0:

Jacob Heyward RF/CF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .333.
Brandon Beachy RHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO= 5/0.  ERA= 6.75.
Nolan Riggs RHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 0.00.
Sam Selman LHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Brandon Beachy makes his season debut after being out of affiliated baseball since 2015(he pitched 1 inning in 2016).  Graduate of Driveline Baseball.  Interesting story to follow.  I remember when Sam Selman was a sleeper draft prospect from Vanderbilt I really liked all the way back in 2012.  He was a 2'nd round draft pick by KC.  He's kicked around since then.  Maybe the Giants are the organization to give him some traction on his career?

A+  Visalia Rawhide whipped the San Jose Giants 9-3:

Bryce Johnson CF- 2 for 4, BB, 2 SB(3).  BA= .353.
Jean Angomas LF- 2 for 5, 2B, SB(1).  BA= .250.
Manuel Geraldo SS- 2 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .222.
Orlando Garcia 3B- 1 for 4.  BA= .375.
Garrett Cave RHP-4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO- 7/0.  ERA= 2.25.
Raffi Vizcaino RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Camilo Doval RHP- 0.1 IP, 4 H, 6 R, 2 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 47.25.

Garrett Cave throws hard and keeps the ball on the ground. That's a pretty good base to work from.  Dominant 2 innings from Raffi Vizcaino.  Remember Camilo Doval last April in Augusta?  Can someone please tell him when the season starts?

A  Augusta Greenjackets swarmed over the Asheville Tourists 11-2:

Ismael Munguia CF- 0 for 3, BB, HBP, SB(1).  BA= .083.
Jose Layer DH- 1 for 3, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .313.
Diego Rincones LF- 2 for 5.  BA= .333.
Frankie Tostado 1B- 1 for 5, 2B.  BA= .250.
Shane Matheny 2B- 2 for 4, HR(1), BB.  BA= .385.
Wander A Franco 3B- 1 for 5, HR(1).  BA= .111.
Mikey Edie RF- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .167.
Nico Giarratano SS- 3 for 4.  BA= .333.
Seth Corry LHP- 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 5 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Keaton Winn RHP- 4 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.25.

Stoked about Jose Layer.  Stay healthy, kid!  Wander Franco The Younger's dinger was a grand slam. Seth Corry seems to be a true outcomes pitcher.

  1. Williams Jerez may turn out to be an incredible return for hot-and-cold Chris Stratton who could have been lost for absolutely nothing.
    OTOH, Hunter Strickland, after 2 shutdown saves got pounded in his third appearance which landed him on the IL: Strickland has been moved to the 60-day injured list with a Grade 2 right lat strain and is likely to be on the shelf for at least two months.
    The Giants apparently got nothing for nothing!
