AAA: Sacramento River Cats outlasted the El Paso Chihuahuas 5-4(11 innings).
Wade Meckler CF- 2 for 5, BB. BA= .270.
Jesus Rodriguez C- 2 for 4. BA= .273.
Bryce Eldridge 1B- 1 for 5, 2B, BB. BA= .239.
Thomas Gavello 3B- 1 for 3, HR(5), 2 BB. BA= .296.
J. T. Brubaker RHP- 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K, 7/2 GO/AO. ERA= 0.00.
Ryan Watson RHP- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's. ERA= 4.46.
If the Giants have run out of arms, J. T. Brubaker is the kind of veteran pitcher who can eat innings over the final month which I am sure is why he was acquired. He pitched 144 innings with a 4.69 ERA for the Pirates in 2022. He missed the 2023 season due to elbow surgery shortly after a trade to the Yankees and re-emerged in the minors in 2024 as a reliever. He recorded a 3.38 ERA in 16 innings for the MLB Yankees before they released him. He's the type of pitcher Buster needed to acquire at least one more of last offseason.
AA: Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Chesapeake Baysox 4-2.
Bo Davidson CF- 2 for 5, 2 HR(5). BA= .212.
Sabin Ceballos 3B- 2 for 3, HR(5), BB. BA= .212.
Trystan Vrieling RHP- 3.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 4.27.
Ian Villers RHP- 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 5.47.
Marques Johnson RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K's. ERA= 3.68.
Tyler Vogel RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 0.00.
Bo Davidson has shown flashes since his promotion to AA but overall has struggled to adjust as many do. Hopefully this experience helps shorten the adjustment phase next season. All 6 outs recorded by Marques Johnson were strikeouts.

DSL: Pool Play
Giants Orange vs Miami cancelled.
Giants Black vs Angels suspended with Giants Black leading 10-3 in the 5'th inning.
Not sure how all that is going to be resolved.
Davidson is 6 months younger than Matos: both are 23 yo.
ReplyDeleteThe latter was pushed hard, getting to the Giants @ 21.
A very small number of players are established by age 23.
Do you think Matos has to prove himself now, or, more likely, will he be lost to someone will can let him develop?
Re J. T. Brubaker, "If the Giants have run out of arms..."
ReplyDeleteHasn't that happened already?
