AAA: El Paso Chihuahuas outscored the Sacramento River Cats 9-6.
Tommy La Stella 2B/3B- 1 for 4, BB. BA= .259.
Kevin Padlo 3B/2B- 2 for 3, 2 BB, SB(6). BA= .239.
Isan Diaz SS- 2 for 4, 3B, BB. BA= .259.
Bryce Johnson RF/CF- 2 for 4, SB(9). BA= .330.
I am sure the River Cats pitchers will be thrilled to get out of that West Texas Town of El Paso after tomorrow's game. The Chihuahuas have some good hitters on that team but the environment is ridiculously hitter-friendly.

AA: Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Harrisburg Senators 7-4.
Brett Auerbach 2B- 1 for 4, HR(4), BB. BA= .219.
Brandon Martorano C- 2 for 3, 2 HR(5), BB, HBP. BA= .192.
Kai-Wei Teng RHP- 5.2 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 4.54.
Solomon Bates RHP- 1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.92.
Haven't posted Auerbach's name for awhile and the BA tells the story. Ditto Brandon Martorano.

A+: Eugene Emeralds edged out the Vancouver Canadians 1-0(First game of doubleheader, 8 innings, scheduled for 7).
Marco Luciano SS- 2 for 3, BB. BA= .313.
Kyle Harrison LHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K's. ERA= 1.88.
Luciano drove in the winning run. Harrison continues his almost ridiculous domination of the A+ NWL with 51 K's in 24 IP.

A+: Vancouver Canadians crushed the Eugene Emeralds 12-4(Game 2 of doubleheader, 7 innings).
Hunter Bishop CF- 1 for 3, BB. BA= .163.
Jairo Pomares LF- 2 for 3, 2B, BB. BA= .239.
Carter Aldrete 3B- 2 for 3, 2B. BA= .231.
Randy Rodriguez RHP- 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 4.02.

A: San Jose Giants topped the Lake Elsinore Storm 8-7.
Grant McCray DH- 1 for 3, 2B, 2 BB. BA= .330.
Vaun Brown CF- 2 for 4, 2 HR(10), BB. BA= .322.
Andre Sugastey C- 2 for 4, 2 2B. BA= .206.
Victor Bericoto RF- 2 for 4, HR(4). BA= .206.
Will Bednar RHP- 0.2 IP, 3 H, 5 R, 3 BB, 1 K. ERA= 4.07.
Esmerlin Vinicio LHP- 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 5.25.
Seth Lonsway LHP- 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.96.
Evan Gates RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 1.64.
Another alarmingly poor start by Bednar. Clearly something is seriously not right with him as a college draftee of his pedigree should not even be assigned to a level this low let alone struggling like this. McCray and Brown remain on fire.
Is Luis Matos hurt?
ReplyDeleteHe may be day-to-day. He's not on IL and is still listed on Ems roster.
DeleteAt what point is it safe to say that Farhan has no clue how to draft? After 3 seasons he has swung and missed on 3 first round picks and paid 12 million for another guy in Will Wilson so basically 0 for 4. His top picks so far have been Harrison who was right under his nose and maybe Schmidt? Anyone else showing any signs of life?
DeleteAt this point it's a fair question which I raised several months ago. Maybe FZ can point to overslot deals in later rounds to make up for the whiffs at the top of the draft but then why not just draft the better players in the first round, give them first round money and let the rest of the draft take care of itself?
