Down on the Farm: 8/29/2019

AAA  Sacramento River Cats pounded the Reno Aces 10-2:

Mike Gerber CF- 2 for 4, 2 2B, SB(5).  BA= .312.
Jaylin Davis RF- 2 for 4.  BA= .356.
Chris Shaw 1B- 3 for 3, 3 HR(21), HBP.  BA= .298.
Chase Johnson RHP- 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 7.64.
Andrew Suarez LHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 5.73.
Dan Winkler RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.71.
Williams Jerez LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.71.

Monster game for Chris Shaw who has hit 28 HR's at 2 levels this season.  Anybody here prefer Brandon Belt at 1B over Shaw right now?  Mike Gerber seems to have gotten lost in the sluice box.  While others have recycled in and out of the active roster multiple times, Gerber has not gotten a whiff after an ill-fated short sample.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels outscored the Erie Seawolves 9-5:

Jalen Miller 2B- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .216.
Joey Bart C- 4 for 4, 2B, HR(4), BB.  BA= .290.
Heliot Ramos CF- 2 for 5, 3B.  BA= .225.

Garrett Williams LHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.67.

Big games for Joey Bart and Heliot Ramos.  Late promo to AA has gone as well or better than expected for the Giants 2 prize prospects.  Giants have a decision to make regarding minor league phase Rule 5 draftee, Sam Moll.

Matt Seelinger RHP- 2.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 5.26.

Norwith Gudino missed 3 months of the season with injury but has been dominant when healthy.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes buried the Eugene Emeralds 10-5:

Alexander Canario CF- 4 for 5, 2B, HR(9).  BA= .314.
Carter Aldrete 1B- 2 for 5, HR(3).  BA= .272.
Matt Malkin C- 3 for 3, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .300.

Great season for Alexander Canario at age 19.  He seems primed to withstand the rigors of the the SAL in his age 20 season next year.

  1. We all know what Belt can do - walks alot, takes some called third strikes, hits in streaks, but rarely steps up to knock in runs with men on base.

    I'd like to see Shaw start at First for all of September.

    Little Yaz has had a great season. I'd like to see what Jaylin Davis can do and favor sitting Yaz. I would not sit SLater because Slater has had less than half of the AB's of YAZ. I'd like to see Slater and Davis each get an extended audition in Sept.

    Crawford - same thing. We all know his game. Why not sit Crawford in Sept and put Dubon at SS.

    Excited to see young blood in Sept.

  2. PS - I saw all three Shaw HR's last night. The last one, pulled to RF was a monster blast landing 60 Plus feet beyond the fence.

    Shaw's last homer is at 1:20. He was trying to hit it toward Belt's head in SF.
