Down on the Farm: 5/16/2024

 AAA:  Sacramento River Cats blanked the Oklahoma City Baseball Club(Dodgers) 8-0:

Jorge Soler DH- 2 for 3, BB.  BA= .286.

Trenton Brooks 1B- 2 for 4, HR(4).  BA= .267.

Hunter Bishop CF- 2 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .417.

Brett Auerbach 2B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .400.

Landon Roupp RHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 2.79.  

Tommy Romero RHP- 4.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K"s.  ERA= 1.49.

Great to see Jorge Soler on a rehab assignment.  Don't expect it to last too long.  Hunter Bishop!  Has any player come this far back from the proverbial dead before?  There was Josh Hamilton but for much different reasons.  I imagine Landon Roupp is going to ride the Sacramento Shuttle most of the season.

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels subdued the Reading Fightin' Phils 9-1(Game 1 of doubleheader, 7 innings):

Carter Howell DH- 2 for 3, 2B, BB, SB(2).  BA= .260.

Jairo Pomares RF- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .130.

Jimmy Glowenke 2B- 2 for 3, 2 2B.  BA= .267.

Grant McCray CF- 1 for 2, 2B, SB(4).  BA= .155.

Hayden Birdsong RHP- 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 5 K. ERA= 2.08.

Eric Silva RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 5.79.

Great to see some signs of life in the Squirrels lineup.  I seem to remember Grant McCray struggling out of the leadoff spot last year and doing better when he was dropped down.  Is that accurate?

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Reading Fightin' Phils 3-1(Second game of doubleheader- 7 innings):

Jediael Maduro 1B- 3 for 4, BB.  BA= .409.

Eliam Sandoval LF- 1 for 2, 3 BB.  BA= .417.

Ramon Peralta is looking like the breakout prospect from this season's ACL team.  Wade Meckler begins his rehab assignment.  Roger Munter mentioned on X that he looked like he might still be hurting.
