AAA: Reno Aces downed the Sacramento River Cats 6-4:
Marco Luciano SS- 1 for 5, 2B. BA= .375.
Brett Wisely CF- 1 for 3, BB, SB(3). BA= .385.
Spencer Howard RHP- 4.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 4/1. ERA= 7.88.
Luis Matos went 0 for 5 to drop his BA to .208. Slow start for Matos after a hot spring training.
AA: Somerset Patriots crushed the Richmond Flying Squirrels 8-0:
Ryan Murphy RHP- 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Matt Frisbee RHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Squirrels managed just 3 singles and 3 walks on offense.
A+: Tri-City Dust Devils topped the Eugene Emeralds 4-3:
Onil Perez C- 2 for 5. BA= .444.
Matt Higgins LF- 3 for 4. BA= .429.
Tom O'Tremba RF- 1 for 2, 2 BB. BA= .400.
Daniel Blair RHP- 3 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 3 K. ERA= 3.00.
Matt Mikulski LHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Onil Perez continues to be a catching prospect to watch. Is this the year Mikulski finally figures it out?
A: Fresno Grizzlies mauled the San Jose Giants 9-5:
Jonah Cox CF- 2 for 5. BA= .500.
Cole Foster SS- 2 for 5. BA= .308.
Guillermo Williamson 1B- 2 for 4, HR(1). BA= .375.
Nadir Lewis RF- 2 for 4. BA= .500.
Williamson is a bat to watch. He and Bryce Eldridge are competing in the same demographic.
Giants will live and die by their bullpen until they get the hitting in order: of the 7 players who have appeared in every game, only 2 are above .250 batting average and 4 are below .210!
ReplyDeleteFlores @ .316 only has 22 PAs. He's hitting .375 against RHP which is even better than Conforto (against RHP). His OPS against RHP is better than Wade's who produces more than any of the Giants' RFers.
Last year's Best Hitter should be starting everyday until YtY and Slater get themselves on track. Until then, they should be defensive replacements.
Do you think that a player after a successful Spring suffers an emotional letdown when he is demoted that affects his output?
ReplyDeleteI think that can happen.
DeleteThis is where fans need to back off a bit on calling up Matos until he rights the ship in Sacramento. Heliot Ramos would be more deserving as of right now. Yaz needs time to right the ship.
