The good news is Bryce Eldridge was the star of the game. The bad news is he played for the River Cats. Key Lines:
Jerar Encarnacion 1B- 1 for 2, 2 BB. It seems like Encarnacion made the team.
Bryce Eldridge 1B(River Cats)- 2 for 3, 2B, HR. It would seem Eldridge won't stay in AAA long.
Nate Furman DH(River Cats): 1 for 3, HR. Furman had a good spring. Does this mean he is on the AAA roster?
Tyler Mahle RHP- 5 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K's. Final tune up before the regular season. Eldridge's HR in the 4'th inning the only damage.ge
John Michael Bertrand LHP(River Cats)- 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's, 6/3 GO/AO. Not the Giants starting lineup but he faced good hitters.
J. T. Brubaker RHP and Keaton Winn RHP pitched scoreless innings for the Giants. Wilkin Ramos RHP pitched 2 scoreless frames for the River Cats. Jose Butto RHP gave up Furman's game-winning HR.
The Giants play the Monterrey Sultanes from the Mexican League in Oracle Park tonight. Game is on NBCSBA
Too bad it's not the Toros de Tijuana this evening. Would be a festive Wilmer Flores retirement party!
ReplyDeleteThe mid-minors tier of Giants SP prospects get so little attention but they've gotten decent / pretty-good results last couple years + a few interesting moments this spring: Bertrand, Choate, Lonsway, Carmouche, Whittman, Zwack, Sinacola. With more excitement about the guys both above & below them, would be good development if any prove MLB-worthy, a reliever or 2 would be fine (they're all LHPs except Sinacola). With Birdsong injury & how pitcher health generally goes, should be some Sac'to rotation opening for these guys to leap up to if anyone performs especially well.
