Down on the Farm: 5/3/2023

 AAA:  Sacramento River Cats downed the Las Vegas Aviators 7-2.

Heliot Ramos RF- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .286.
Casey Schmitt 2B- 2 for 5, 2B, HR(1).  BA= .311.
Patrick Bailey C- 1 for 3, BB, SF.  BA= .143.
Tyler Fitzgerald SS- 1 for 5.  BA= .200.
Shane Matheny CF- 1 for 2, 2 BB.  BA= .235.
Chris Wright LHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.42.
Nick Avila RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.20.

Casey Schmitt has played the last two games at 2B.  He continues to hit well.

AA:  Altoona Curve outlasted the Richmond Flying Squirrels 5-4(10 innings).
 
Marco Luciano SS- 0 for 4, BB.  BA- .000.
Carter Williams LF- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .208.
Simon Whiteman RF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .262.  
Nick Zwack LHP- 3 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.41.
Randy Rodriguez RHP- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 3.86.  

Marco Luciano fails to make contact in 5 PA's in his season debut at AA.  It's a pretty big jump from extended spring training to AA.  He might have benefitted from 3 or 5 rehab games in SJ. Randy Rodriguez has not allowed an ER in his last 9 IP over 3 appearances.

A+:  Spokane Indians buried the Eugene Emeralds 13-7.

Grant McCray CF- 2 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .171.
Aeverson Arteaga SS- 2 for 5.  BA= .225.
Victor Bericoto RF- 3 for 4, HR(3), BB.  BA= .306.
Luis Toribio 3B- 2 for 4, HR(5), BB.  BA= .284.

Grant McCray took my advice and got 2 hits.  Victor Bericoto is a sleeper hitting prospect who will be Rule 5 eligible after this season.

A:  Modesto Nuts smothered the San Jose Giants 12-7.

Onil Perez C- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .333.
William Kempner RHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 5.00.

  2. FWIW, SJ lead 7-0 after 5, gave up 3 unearned runs in the 6th and still led handily.
    Lefty prospect Esmerlin Vinicio pitched the middle innings. He's 20 yo, 6' 2"/141 lbs!
    Miguel Mora P gave up 7 runs in 2 innings including 2 HRs.
    Winning isn't the goal in A-ball.
    Vaun Brown was 0-2 with 2 W, 1 K, dropping him to .412/.500/.529/1.029...

  3. What's with 2023 McCray? BABIP

    Last year in A+, 62 PA's. BA .269 BABIP .429
    This year in A+, 98 PA's. BA .171 BABIP .261
