Down on the Farm: 5/18/2022

AAA:  Sacramento River Cats shut out the Tacoma Rainiers 5-0.

Luis Gonzalez RF- 1 for 3, HR(4), BB.  BA= .286.
David Villar 3B- 2 for 4, HR(13).  BA= .308.
Raynel Espinal RHP- 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 2.70.
Jake McGee LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Sam Long LHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 7.20.

I guess Jake McGee's back is better.  But seriously, getting McGee back to form would be a big boost to the Giants postseason hopes.  I hope Raynel Espinal gets a shot in The Show before the season is over.  Love what I've seen from him so far.  And I think we are all rooting for Luis Gonzalez to make it back to SF and soon.

AA:  Altoona Curve outscored the Richmond Flying Squirrels 7-5:

Frankie Tostado 1B- 2 for 5, HR(5).  BA= .336.
Brandon Martorano C- 3 for 5, 2B, 3B.  BA= .225.
Shane Matheny 3B- 3 for 4.  BA= .287.
Chris Wright LHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K.  ERA= 1.72.

A+:  Spokane Indians came from behind in the 9'th inning to top the Eugene Emeralds 9-8:

Marco Luciano SS- 1 for 5, HR(5).  BA= .295.
Casey Schmitt 3B- 2 for 4, HR(7).  BA= .329.
Hunter Bishop CF- 2 for 3, BB, SB(6).  BA= .161.
Patrick Bailey C- 1 for 3, HR(3), SF.  BA= .203.

Patrick Bailey is slashing .292/.357/.542 in the month of May so far.

A:  San Jose Giants crushed the Inland Empire 66'ers 15-4:

Grant McCray CF- 2 for 6, 2B, 3B, SB(8).  BA= .318.
Aeverson Arteaga SS- 4 for 5, BB.  BA= .276.
Garrett Frechette 1B- 1 for 5, HR(2), BB.  BA= .220.
Yorlis Rodriguez 3B- 3 for 5, HR(4).  BA= .295.
Rayner Santana DH- 3 for 4, BB.  BA= .213.
Eric Silva RHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 4.63.
Manuel Mercedes RHP- 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's, Save(1).  ERA= 5.89.

McCray continues to show off multiple tools and skills.  He is hitting .418 in May with 9 multi-hit games.  Arteaga is 8 for 15 over his last 3 games.  I kind of forgot about Yorlis Rodriguez but once upon a time he looked like a good prospect in the DSL.

  1. I read a short article on CBS sports saying Luis Matos has been benched and that’s why we aren’t seeing him play or hearing reports of an injury. This doesn’t make total sense to me since Bishop is still playing regularly despite also underperforming but thought it was worth mentioning here.

    1. Do we know why Matos was benched? Disciplinary? Performance? Hopefully he's working on some specific things while he's riding the pine. Otherwise, it would be better for him to go Arizona and get himself stabilized there.

  2. Article didn’t specify the reason. Hopefully it’s a short ride and he can get back out there soon.

    1. Found it. It looks like they are simply noting,... ahem........like some other sites, that Matos hasn't played for 2 weeks. Wonder where they got that information?
