Down on the Farm: 9/3/2022

AAA:  Tacoma Rainiers buried the Sacramento River Cats 10-5.

Jason Krizan 2B- 2 for 3, 2B, HR(12), BB.  BA= .284.

Dixon Machado SS-  1 for 2, BB, HBP.  BA= .267.

Thomas Szupacki LHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 1.42.

Luis Ortiz RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.66.

Szupacki is on the 40-man roster.  The Giants need to find out if he can cut it at the MLB level.  Bring him up to replace Alex Wood and find out what he's made of.  Luis Ortiz has pitched 23 scoreless innings since June 23 and routinely goes 2 innings per appearance.  Just sayin too.

AA:  Harrisburg Senators defeated the Richmond Flying Squirrels 8-5.

Shane Matheny CF- 2 for 5, HR(11).  BA= .256.

Tyler Fitzgerald SS- 3 for 4, 2B, SB(18).  BA= .231.

Will Wilson SS- 3 for 5.  BA= .245.

Kyle Harrison LHP- 2 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 3.36.

Harrison struck out the side twice in 2 IP but also gave up 2 HR's.  Not sure there is a need to squeeze every last inning out of Harrison this season.  He's long since accomplished what he needed to and way more.  There is a lot riding on his arm.  I'd be extremely cautious with it.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds blanked the Everett Aquasox 4-0.

Mason Black RHP- 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 10 K's.  ERA= 3.96.  

Out of the 2019 draftees, Landon Roupp is ahead of Black at this point but not by a lot.  Takes a bit of the sting out of Bednar and Mikulski struggles.

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

A:  San Jose Giants topped the Stockton Ports 4-2.

Damon Dues 2B- 1 for 3, 2 BB, SB(8).  BA= .371.

Aeverson Arteaga SS- 2 for 4, BB, SB(11).  BA= .268.

Victor Bericoto RF- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .263.

Adrian Sugastey C- 2 for 4.  BA= .242.

Liam Simon RHP- 2.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Manuel Mercedes RHP- 5.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO= 9/2.  ERA= 5.50.

Simon, Giants 5'th round draft pick, makes his full season league debut.
