Will Brennan RF- 4 for 5.  BA= .370.

Since going 0 for 5 on Opening Day, Jesus Rodriguez has an 8-game hit streak and has 4 multi-hit games in a row.  Since going 0 for 4 with 3 K's on 4/7, Bryce Eldridge is 5 for 9 with a double and HR and 2 K's out of 10 PA's.  This was Joel Peguero's second scoreless appearance after a late start.  How long before he gets called up?

Scott Bandura LF- 1 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .192.
Greg Farone LHP- 4.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.00.

Greg Farone has 13 K's and 2 BB's in 9 IP over two starts.  

A+:  Vancouver Canadians blasted the Eugene Emeralds 14-5.

Trevor Cohen RF- 3 for 5, 3 2B, BB.  BA= .240.
Robert Hipwell 1B- 2 for 3, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .154.
Walker Martin DH- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .222.
Zane Zielinski 2B- 2 for 4, 2B, HBP.  BA= .429.
Ryan Vanderhei RHP- 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  

Gavin Kilen comes back to Earth with an 0 for 5.  

A: Visalia Rawhide outscored the San Jose Giants 9-7.

Jhonny Level SS- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .519.
Jeremiah Jenkins 1B- 2 for 5, HR(1).  BA= .417.
Jordan Gottesman LHP- 3.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 4.05.  
Alix Hernandez RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Jhonny Level keeps raking.  Jeremiah Jenkins is a prototypical B-L, T- L first baseman drafted as a project in 2024.  Maybe he finds traction this season?  Alix Hernandez missed most of last season but pitched well in a limited sample.  Maybe this is the year he finds traction too?

  1. Good to see with ELDRIDGE and RODRIGUEZ..give them another month..then..who knows....BRENNAN off to a very good start even if you know he is disappointed as hell to be there..He's a MLB OFer.....The motley crew of Ramos, Bader, Lee, Encarnacion, and Oliva aren't exactly setting the world on fire (I'm trying to be nice) so maybe he comes up earlier.

  2. good to see Eldridge get his hits. what i would love to see is Eldridge get hits vs the better pitchers. for example, SAC manages 4 hits and Eldridge gets 2 of them. -es
