Down on the Farm: 8/24/2022

 AAA:  Sacramento River Cats defeated the Reno Aces 4-2.

Luis Gonzalez LF- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .289.
Yermin Mercedes 1B- 2 for 4.  BA= .254.
Willie Calhoun DH- 2 for 2, 2 BB.   BA= .268.
Sean Hjelle RHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 8/1.  ERA= 4.92.
Cole Waites RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Shelby Miller RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(6).  ERA= 3.62.

Saw a Twitter comment that Cole Waites is the first member of the 2019 draft class to make AAA.  Look for him to be the first to make the majors too.

AA:  Akron Rubber Ducks beat the Richmond Flying Squirrels 5-2.

Shane Matheny CF- 1 for 4, BB.  BA= .266.
Will Wilson SS- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .241.
Kai-Wei Teng RHP- 7 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 BB, 9 K's.  ERA= 5.11.

Wilson completes his rehab assignment and is back in AA.  He had been briefly promoted to AAA before his injury.  Teng has 139 K's in 116.1 IP but has also issued 65 BB's.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds topped the Tri-City Dust Devils 5-3.

Luis Matos CF- 4 for 5, 2B, HR(10).  BA= .205.
Jairo Pomares LF- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .260.
Mason Black RHP- 7.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 10 K's.  ERA= 4.32.

Great to see Luis Matos finish the season strong.  Hopefully this sets him up for strong start next season with a promotion to AA before the end of his age 21 season. Similar sentiments for Pomares although he is a year older.  I should mention that Marco Luciano SS came out of this game after reaching base twice.  I have not seen any news about an injury.

*************************************************************************************

A:  San Jose Giants crushed the Modesto Nuts 9-1.

Grant McCray CF- 3 for 5, HR(21).  BA= .291.
Aeverson Arteaga SS- 3 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .261.
Garrett Frechette 1B- 2 for 4, 2B, SF.  BA= .259.
Nick Sinacola RHP- 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K's.  ERA= 3.78.

Complex Watch:  The regular season has ended in the Complexes.  Giants Black team made the ACL playoffs.

  1. Baggs tweeted that Luciano was removed from the game as a precaution due to leg tightness. Saw another article that it doesn't appear serious and he should be back in the lineup in a few days.

  2. Just saw a tweet that Vaun Brown was promoted to Richmond and Grant McCray to Eugene. Very interesting news on the farm!

    1. I also saw a tweet that Vaun Brown's season is reminiscent of Brandon Belt's 2010 season. See that somewhere before?

    2. At the same time as McCray, OF Jared Dupere was assigned to Eugene Emeralds from San Jose Giants.
      In a much SSS Dupere's numbers are very comparable to McCray's. Dupere is ≆2 years older than McCray.
