Down on the Farm: 4/22/2025

Minor league games were all finished early so while we wait for the body count from the unfolding disaster in Oracle Park, lets take a look at what happened Down on the Farm.  Key Lines:

AAA:  El Paso Chihuahuas blanked the Sacramento River Cats 3-0:

Logan Porter C- 2 for 4.  BA= .239.
Sergio Alcantara SS- 0 for 2, 2 BB.  BA= .250.
Carson Seymour RHP- 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 5 BB, 4 K's, 6/1 GO/AO.  ERA= 1.57.
Tristan Beck RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.38.  

Beck might be positioning himself for an early call up which seems more likely after tonight's debacle.

AA:  Akron Rubber Ducks downed the Richmond Flying Squirrels 5-1:

Bryce Eldridge 1B- 1 for 3, HR(1).  BA= .333.
Joe Whitman LHP- 4 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 6.17.
Braxton Roxby RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.70.

Big news here is Eldridge making his 2025 regular season debut after a wrist injury in spring training.  He did not disappoint and hit a home run in his first AB.

A+:  Spokane Indians crushed the Eugene Emeralds 17-5:

Zane Zielinski SS- 3 for 3, BB, SB(6).  BA= .333.
Jack Payton DH- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .194.

A:  San Jose Giants tamed the Fresno Grizzlies 9-0:

Carlos Gutierrez RF- 2 for 5, SB(4).  BA= .281.
Jakob Christian 1B- 2 for 5, 2B.   BA= .300.
Lisbel Diaz LF- 3 for 5, 2B.  BA= .270.
Jean Carlos Sio 2B- 3 for 4, SB(3).  BA= .262.
Fernando Gonzalez C- 1 for 2, 2 BB.  BA= .222.
Jose Ramos SS- 2 for 4, 2 SB(6).  BA= .250.
Hunter Dryden RHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.75.
Ubert Mejias RHP- 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.91.  

Hard to make much out of these lines from a lopsided game.  I will say I really liked what I saw of Carlos Gutierrez in two in-person observations.  Looks athletic, plays with intensity, nice looking swing and squares up the ball.  Hunter Dryden has impressive velocity for a smallish pitcher.
