The Sacramento River Cats broke open a scoreless game with 6 runs in the bottom of the 7'th inning to blank the Sugar Land Space Cowboys 6-0 for their third win in a row to star the AAA PCL season.
Heliot Ramos RF- 1 for 4, 2B, BB. .250/.400/.583. Ramos has a hit and BB in each of his first 3 games. The double drove in the first two runs of the game.
Jaylin Davis CF- 2 for 4. BA= .444. BA's are still volatile with a small denominator. Don't forget Davis is still on the 40- man roster. This season might be his last chance to prove he deserves another shot at the MLB level.
David Villar 3B- 1 for 3, HR(2), BB. .300/.462/.900. Villar picking up where he left off last year in AA. I can so see an opportunity to grab 3B by the throat at some point with the Giants this year.
Sean Hjelle RHP- 3.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 5/0. Sensational start to the AAA season by Hjelle. We are suddenly seeing a flurry of Sean Hjelle is Underrated posts in various locations. I am pretty sure you read it here first. Unusual command for a pitcher that tall. His release point and plane are unique and bucking the trend in the launch angle era.
Corey Oswalt RHP- 2.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. Oswalt is one of the Giants minor league signings who I think will help at the MLB level at some point this season.
My one question is. Why did Hjelle come out of this game so early?
ReplyDeleteI am sure it was a pitch count limit. He came out at exactly 60 pitches.
