Down on the Farm: 7/6/2024

AAA:  Reno Aces outlasted the Sacramento River Cats 7-6(10 innings):

Grant McCray CF- 3 for 5, 2B.  BA= .286.

Jerar Encarnacion LF- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .297.

Blake Sabol C- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .230.

Carson Whisenhunt LHP- 6 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 5.79.

Tyler Myrick RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.26.

Grant McCray seems to be finding some traction in AAA.  Since his BA hit a nadir of .186 on June 26, he's gone 17 for 46(.370).  

AA:  Richmond Flying Squirrels topped the Bowie Baysox 4-3(12 innings):

Carter Howell LF- 1 for 3, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .287.

Andy Thomas C- 1 for 4, HR(3), BB.  BA= .244.

Will Wilson SS= 2 for 5, SB(6).  BA= .230.

Ismael Munguia DH- 1 for 4, BB, SB(4).  BA= .339.

John Bertrand LHP- 5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 3.55.

Eric Silva RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 H.  ERA= 4.84.

Eric Silva gets his ERA below 5 with a series of short late-inning relief appearances.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds defeated the Hilsboro Hops 4-2:

Justin Wishkoski 3B- 2 for 4.  BA= .273.

Diego Velasquez SS- 3 for 4, SB(17).  BA= .280.

Onil Perez DH- 1 for 3, SF.  BA= .245.

Manuel Mercedes RHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, GO/AO= 7/2.  ERA= 4.48.

Austin Strickland RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 11.25.

Trent Harris RHP- 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 3.65.

Manuel Mercedes ERA's by month starting in April:  4.91, 5.40, 3.60, 2.89.  He pitches to contact but maintains a GO/AO of about 2.5 which is elite. That pitching demographic tends to run into bad BABIP luck more frequently than strikeout pitchers but they also tend to give up fewer HR's.

A:  San Jose Giants outscored the Stockton Ports 8-6:

Wade Meckler CF- 2 for 5, BB.  BA= .261.

Maui Ahuna DH- 2 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .215.

Jean Carlos Sio 2B- 3 for 3, BB, Sac.  BA= .212.

Lisbel Diaz LF- 2 for 4, HR(2), SF.  BA= .214.

Dylan Carmouche LHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 2.96.

ACL:  Giants pounded the Angels 10-2:

Jose Ramos 2B- 1 for 2, 2 BB, HBP, SB(11).  BA= .241.

Walker Martin SS- 1 for 3, HR(4), 2 BB. BA- .204.

Bo Davidson RF- 3 for 4.  BA= .417.

Donovan McIntyre LF- 2 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .209.

Kanoa Pagan RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Alix Hernandez RHP- 4 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 3.53.

DSL:  Giants Black beat the Blue Jays 12-9:

Jhonny Level SS- 5 for 5, 3 2B.  BA= .262.

Oliver Tejada DH- 2 for 5.  BA= .373.

Angel Guzman LF- 2 for 4, 2B, BB, 2 SB(8).  BA= .378.

Carlos Concepcion RF- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA- .257.

I'm starting to get irrationally exuberant about Jhonny Level.  Since his BA hit a nadir of .143 on June 24, he's gone 15 for 35(.429).  

DSL:  Giants Black crushed Colorado 17-2:

Keibert Camacaro SS- 3 for 5, 2B, 3B, BB. BA= .357.

Santiago Camacho C- 3 for 4, 2B, BB, HBP.  BA= .260.

Jesus Alexander 1B- 2 for 6, 2 2B.  BA= .395.

Yoxander Benitez 2B- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA- .206.

Alfonso Perez RHP- 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 6.32.

This is Keibert Camacaro's second DSL season but he's still just 17 yo.  Only has 18 PA's so far this seaosn.
