Down on the Farm: 5/4/2024

 AAA:  Sacramento River Cats blanked the Tacoma Rainiers 1-0:

Brandon Martorano C- 2 for 3.  BA= .667. 

Carson Whisenhunt LHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 3 BB, 10 K.  ERA= 5.40.  

Tanner Andrews RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 5.27.

Justin Garza RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 1.08.

Spencer Bivens RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, Save(5).  ERA= 4.37.

Is Martorano next up on the catcher depth chart?  The Whiz has had some uneven performances this season and he walked more than you like in this one but the K's were dominant.  Seems like he is getting close.

AA:  Akron Rubber Ducks pounded the Richmond Flying Squirrels 9-4:

Grant McCray DH- 1 for 5, HR(4).  BA= .143. 

Victor Bericoto RF- 2 for 4.  BA= .214.

Andy Thomas 1B- 2 for 3, BB.  BA= .227.

McCray's second HR in as many games was a grand slam and accounted for all of the Squirrels runs.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds outscored the Spokane Indians 12-8:

Turner Hill LF- 3 for 5, 2B,  2 HR(3), BB.  BA= .258.

Quinn McDaniel CF- 1 for 3, HR(2), 3 BB.  BA= .308.

Andrew Kachel 3B- 3 for 4, 2 BB, SB(5).  BA= .274.

Scott Bandura RF- 1 for 3, HR(3), 2 BB, SB(5).  BA= .158.

Jack Choate LHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K's.  ERA= 2.08.

Turner Hill is 6 for 11 in May.  Scott Bandura has 2 HR's in his last 3 games.  A dominant appearance by Jack Choate.

A:  San Jose Giants vs Lake Elsinore Storm postponed due to rain.

ACL:  D'Backs dominated the Giants 7-1:

Ramon Peralta 2B- 2 for 4.  BA= .500.

Samir Chires RHP- 4.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 2.08.

ACL starting 6 weeks earlier than in past and well before the amateur draft.
