Down on the Farm (2018)

[LHG]

And someday soon we can see Blach and Black pitching?

Maybe they could pitch back to back.

 

[calsnowskier]

Maybe they could pitch back to back.

Blach and Black, back to back?

I don’t get it? Why would that be special?

 

[LHG]

Blach and Black, back to back?

I don’t get it? Why would that be special?

You know, so the announcers can say "they pitched Black to Blach."

 

[calsnowskier]

You know, so the announcers can say "they pitched Black to Blach."

I just want it to happen to force a late-inning, drunk K&K to have to try to say it accurately.

 

[tzill]

And someday soon we can see Blach and Black pitching?

If only Steve Decker were still in the league.

 

[tzill]

Nothing compared to the Black and Decker battery...

you phuker....

 

[SFGRTB]

Joey Bart made his debut tonight for the AZL Giants Orange squad. Went 0-2 before exiting (Idk if it was a planned exit or not).

He also caught Seth Corry, last years 3rd round pick. He was excellent, going 4.2 innings with 8 K's, 2 BB's, 2 H's and no runs. So far he has a 0.00 ERA with 12 K's in 7.2 innings.

Derek Law 0.2-0-0-0-0-1

Been a real rough go of late for the River Cats

AA: Richmond Flying Squirrels WALKED-OFF 4-3 (38-35)

Aramis Garcia 3-4, HR (4th), 2 RBI, 1 R
C.J Hinojosa 1-4, 1 R, 1 SB (2nd)

Hinojosa has a hit in 16 of 18 games this season (including Monday night, spoiler). He's batting .323/.397/.477 on the season. Definitely has a legitimate shot at being a utility guy in the big leagues. Solid little player.

Jake McCasland 6.0-6-3-3-0-5
Dan Slania 2.0-1-0-0-0-3
Caleb Simpson 1.0-0-0-0-2-2

A+: San Jose Giants lost 6-2 (35-39)

Johneshwy Fargas 1-4, 1 K, 1 SB (21st)

Logan Webb 4.0-2-0-0-1-7
Sandro Cabrera 4.0-8-6-6-2-3

Webb was nasty tonight and had Rancho hitters flailing


Webb has three above-average pitches. He's still building up his arm strength and the Giants have the baby training wheels on, but he has intriguing upside.

Also if you've followed the San Jose Giants this season, you may be glimpsing into the future, not just of the Giants but of all of baseball. The Giants have been running an experiment of sorts, mainly due to injuries, but they have been trotting out piggy-back starters quite often. Webb and Marshall go 3-4 innings and are relieved by D.J. Meyers and Sandro Cabrera for 3-4 innings. In the era where starter's leashes are getting smaller by the year, this could be the direction of some teams (ahem, Rays).

A: Augusta GreenJackets lost 12-9 (39-33)

Jacob Gonzalez 3-4, HR (7th), 2B, 3 RBI, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 error (19th)

Heliot Ramos 3-4, 1 R, 1 SB (5th), 1 K

Jose Layer 2-4, 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K

Layer left the game early, and he has a long history of injuries. Hopefully he's okay, but I'm not sure.

Along with Valdez, why is Taylor Hill still around? His ERA is over 8.00!

 

[LHG]

Along with Valdez, why is Taylor Hill still around? His ERA is over 8.00!

That is a very good question because the Giants have too many AAA pitchers, where they are "demoting" one pitcher every few days to Salem-Keizer in between starts. They started that a week ago with Matt Gage and swapped him with Daniel Camarena. Neither made an actual appearance with Salem but are officially listed on their roster for a couple of days at a time. What is the point if the guys that they carry (i.e. Hill and Valdez) shouldn't even be on a roster.

With Heston and Wolff soon to be activated, I would hope that these two would be the two gone.

 

[SFGRTB]

From that video, I see nothing special about either of them...

God damn it haha

Here's the video:

 

[Stokes1931]

Scrabble gave up 6 runs in 4 innings today. Which is really good compared to Okert, who gave up 7 runs (6 earned) in 0.1 innings. Okert gave up 6 hits and an error, and all 7 runners scored. Human Gas Can Valdez allowed both inherited runners to score.

 

[LHG]

The Giants recently released two minor leaguers.

The first one is Will LaMarche. His numbers at Richmond weren't that good but its more frustrating why he was released. Ryan Halstead was activated from the dl and sent down from Sacramento to Richmond. I'd rather see LaMarche's mediocre production at AA than Hill or Valdez' awful numbers at AAA.

The other guy was Dylan Manwaring. He had a good 3 game stretch earlier at San Jose but the Giants opted to acquire Tanner Murphy (who's numbers are bad at SJ but he recently moved up to Sacramento to help a banged up catcher corp. Both Brown and Hanigan recently got placed on the dl) and send Manwaring to extended spring. He opened the season as the backup 1st baseman at Salem-Keizer. He got cut after 4 games and 13 at-bats.

Pitching Line: IP-H-R-ER-BB-K

AAA: Sacramento River Cats WON 9-4 (34-43)

Chris Shaw 3-5, 2 HR (13th and 14th), 4 RBI, 2 R
Ryder Jones 3-5, HR (7th), 2 RBI, 2 R, 2 K
Mac Williamson 1-5, HR (9th), 1 RBI, 2 R, 1 K
Steven Duggar 3-6, 2B, 2 R
Ronnie Freeman 2-5, 2 RBI

Mac homered in his first AB.

In 140 games in AAA, Chris Shaw has 31 homers, 39 doubles, 89 RBI and 70 runs. He also has a .838 OPS. The issue is he has a 5% walk rate and 32.2% K rate. He's still batting .274/.315/.523 but his walk rate is pretty scary. Pretty much everything else is fine, though.

Casey Kelly 6.0-9-4-4-2-6
Josh Osich 1.0-0-0-0-0-1
Ray Black 1.0-0-0-0-0-1
Tyler Beede 1.0-1-0-0-0-1

IDK if the move to the Pen is permanent for Beede or just some time to work through his issues, but he's had 3 straight scoreless outings now. Ray Black is still cruising along.

AA: Richmond Flying Squirrels lost 5-0 (38-36)

Dylan Davis 2-4, 2B, 1 BB, 1 K
C.J Hinojosa 2-4, 3B, 1 BB, 1 K

Shaun Anderson 5.2-8-4-3-2-4
Carlos Diaz 1.1-0-0-0-2-2
Dylan Rheault 1.0-1-1-0-2-3

Anderson has been struggling of late, and I have to wonder that if he's feeling a bit tired. This is just his second full season starting.

A+: San Jose Giants WON 5-2 (36-39)

Johneshwy Fargas 1-3, HR (3rd), 3 RBI, 1 R
Sandro Fabian 2-3, 1 R, 1 RBI
Matt Winn 2-3, 2B, 1 R, 1 RBI

Jason Bahr 6.0-4-0-0-1-5
Nolan Riggs 2.0-2-2-2-0-2
Frank Rubio 1.0-0-0-0-0-1

Bahr's first start in San Jose was a doozie. Last year's 5th round pick was just too advanced for SAL League hitters and the early indications are positive for the CAL League. His fastball is in the low 90s with sink.

A: Augusta GreenJackets lost 4-3 (39-34)

Heliot Ramos 2-4, 1 R, 1 K
Manuel Geraldo 1-4, 2B, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 SB (18th), 1 BB, 1 K
Jacob Gonzalez 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K

This 1-2-3 top of the lineup is really doing some damage of late. Since May 7th, Ramos is batting .281/.353/.438

Joey Marciano 5.0-4-2-1-3-6
Tyler Schimpf 2.0-2-0-0-0-1
Camilo Doval 1.0-1-1-1-0-1
Olbis Parra 2.1-3-1-0-1-3

A-: Salem-Keizer Volcanoes lost 6-5 (7-4)

Trevor Abrams 2-4, HR (1st), 2 RBI, 1 R, 2 K
Robinson Medrano 1-4, HR (3rd), 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 K
Ricardo Genoves 2-3, 2B, 1 R, 1 RBI, passed ball
Mikey Edie 3-4, 2B, 2 R, SB (2nd), CS (4th)
Nico Giarratano 2-5, 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K

Stetson Woods 4.2-6-4-4-1-4
Trent Toplikar 1.1-0-0-0-0-0
Keenan Bartlett 1.0-1-2-2-2-0
Jesus Tona 1.0-0-0-0-0-1

Rookie: DSL Giants lost 9-3 (11-8)

Luis Toribio 2-4, 2B, 1 RBI

Melvin Martinez 3.2-2-6-3-5-1
Randy Rodriguez 3.0-3-2-2-0-5
Yhonson Rojas 1.1-1-1-1-2-0
Luis Montero 1.0-1-0-0-0-0

Martinez's line is the most DSL line I have ever seen. It had everything.

Rookie: AZL Giants Black lost 11-9 (1-5)

Malique Ziegler 2-2, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 1 SB (1st)
Frankie Tostado 2-5, HR (1st), 1 RBI, 1 R
Francisco Medina 2-5, HR (1st), 2B, 2 RBI, 2 R, 1 K, 2 errors (2nd and 3rd)
Abdiel Layer 2-5, 2B, 1 K, 1 error (1st)
David Villar 2-4, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Alexander Canario 0-6, 2 K

Really nice to see Ziegler back. He was off to a terrific start in Augusta. Fun little player. Speaking of fun players, Tostado continues his torrid start. Fell off the radar a bit, but he's a legit prospect. Still waiting (patiently) for Canario to come around.

Conner Nurse 4.0-6-5-4-2-4
Oliver Pinto 3.0-3-2-2-0-0
Ben Strahm 0.2-3-4-4-1-1
Travis Perry 0.1-0-0-0-0-0

Rookie: AZL Giants Orange WON 7-5 (4-3)

Tyler Flores 4-5, 6 RBI, 2B
Joey Bart 1-4, 1 R, 1 K
Beicker Mendoza 4-5, 3 2B, 1 RBI, 3 R

Francis Pena 4.0-9-4-4-2-3
Jorge Labrador 2.0-0-0-0-1-1
Yoel Veras 2.0-2-1-1-1-2
Chris Roberts 1.0-0-0-0-0-1

These take a long time to write these days!

Tuesday 6/26

Pitching Line: IP-H-R-ER-BB-K

AAA: Sacramento River Cats lost 13-8 (34-44)

Mac Williamson 1-3, HR (10th), 2 RBI, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Chase d'Arnaud 2-3, HR (10th), 3 RBI, 2 R
Ronnie Freeman 1-4, HR (3rd), 2 RBI, 1 R, 2 errors (2nd and 3rd)
Ryder Jones 3-4, 2 R

It's more surprising when Mac DOESN'T hit a homer at this point. 2 games, 2 homers since his return. d'Arnaud is really having a nice season. He's batting .300/.406/.535 with 27 XBH and 15 steals. I get a strong feeling he'll get called up at some point.

Jeff Samardzija 4.0-7-6-6-2-6
Tyler Rogers 2.0-2-0-0-0-3
Steven Okert 0.1-6-7-6-0-0
Jose Valdez 0.2-2-0-0-0-0
Taylor Hill 1.0-0-0-0-0-1

Shark still isn't throwing enough strikes, despite the low walk total. Tonight he threw 88 pitches and 53 strikes. Okert will be trying to fix that ERA for the rest of the season, and it will probably never recover.

AA: Richmond Flying Squirrels lost 11-5 (38-37)

Ryan Howard 3-5, 2B, 1 RBI, 1 R
Jerry Sands 2-3, 2B, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Jeff Arnold 1-4, 2 RBI

Brandon Bednar 5-5, 2B, 2 R.

Former Giants' minor leaguer Bednar goes 5-5 versus his old team.

Jordan Johnson 5.0-11-5-2-1-4
Ryan Halstead 1.0-0-0-0-0-2
Patrick Ruotolo 1.0-3-2-2-0-1
Dillon McNamara 0.2-1-4-0-2-1
Dan Slania 0.1-1-0-0-0-1

Terrible defense, but generally ugly pitching all around.

A+: San Jose Giants lost 5-0 (36-40)

No offense (very offensive). Five total hits, all singles, no walks

Melvin Adon 5.0-4-5-5-3-4
Carlos Sano 3.0-1-0-0-1-3
Peter Lannoo 1.0-1-0-0-0-1

A: Augusta GreenJackets lost 5-4 (39-35)

Manuel Geraldo 2-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Logan Baldwin 2-5, 1 RBI, 2 K, 1 SB (17th)

Jose Marte 5.0-9-4-4-2-2
John Timmins 2.0-1-0-0-0-3
Ryan Koziol 2.0-2-0-0-1-1
John Russell 1.1-2-1-0-1-2

A-: Salem-Keizer Volcanoes WON 10-5 (8-4)

Trevor Abrams 3-5, 2 2 2B, 3 RBI, 2 R, 1 K
Jose Layer 2-5, 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K
Dalton Combs 2-4, 2B, 1 RBI, 1 R

Gregory Santos 6.0-5-3-3-0-5
Zach Becherer 1.0-0-0-0-0-0
Sidney Duprey 1.0-2-2-0-0-1
Mack Meyer 1.0-2-0-0-0-1

Santos is off to a terrific start in his domestic debut. All three runs came in the first inning, including four of the five hits. Santos dominated the rest of the way, facing the minimum.

Rookie: DSL Giants WON 12-4 (12-8)

Luis Toribio 3-5, 3 RBI, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Ismael Alcantara 2-2, 2 2B, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Andrew Caraballo 1-3, 2B, 2 RBI, 2 BB

Sonny Vargas 2.1-1-2-2-4-1
Cristian Acosta 2.2-3-0-0-1-3

Wednesday 6/27

Pitching Line: IP-H-R-ER-BB-K

AAA: Sacramento River Cats WON 4-3 (35-44)

Chase d'Arnaud 1-3, HR (11th), 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 K, 1 SB (15th)
Steven Duggar 1-5, HR (4th), 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 K

d'Arnaud was named to the All-Star game, very well deserved.

Oppo-taco for Duggar


Matt Gage 6.0-6-2-2-2-4
Josh Osich 1.0-2-1-1-0-1
Derek Law 1.0-0-0-0-0-1
Ray Black 1.0-0-0-0-0-1

IDK why this is so odd to me, but each guy's name is between 3-5 letters.

AA: Richmond Flying Squirrels WON 5-4 (39-37)

Aramis Garcia 2-3, 2 HR (5th and 6th), 2 RBI, 2 R, 1 BB
Luigi Rodriguez 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 SB (13th)

Holy cow did Garcia need a game like this. He's had a pretty brutal year. He is having a nice June, though, batting .284/.333/.463 and a 121 wRC+


Conner Menez 5.1-10-4-4-2-7
Carlos Diaz 1.2-0-0-0-0-0
Caleb Simpson 1.2-1-0-0-0-2
Dan Slania 0.1-0-0-0-0-0

A+: San Jose Giants lost 8-6 (36-41)

Heath Quinn 2-4, HR (6th), 1 RBI, 2 R, 1 K
Gio Brusa 2-4, 2B, 1 R, 2 K
Jacob Heyward 1-2, 2B, 1 RBI, 1 R, 2 BB

Mac Marshall 1.1-0-1-0-3-1
Jeff Burke 2.2-4-3-1-1-0
DJ Myers 1.0-2-0-0-0-1
Nolan Riggs 2.1-4-4-3-2-3
Rodolfo Martinez 1.2-2-0-0-1-2

Tough break for Marshall who just returned from an injury a week ago and had to leave this one after some sort of leg injury. The defense was just awful with 5 errors.

A: Augusta GreenJackets WON 6-5 (40-35) (this game was suspended and completed on Thursday)

Heliot Ramos 1-5, HR (6th), 2 RBI, 1 R, 2 K
Orlando Garcia 3-3, 2 RBI, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 SB (7th)

This is quite possibly the crudest homerun video I've posted, but when Augusta builds a brand new ballpark and doesn't include video camera setups, this is what we have to live with.


Garrett Cave 4.0-1-0-0-2-5
Franklin Van Gurp 2.2-4-5-5-3-3
Olbis Parra 2.1-0-0-0-0-2


Giants are going to stick with Cave in the rotation for as long as they can, and he's done okay, but he really profiles as a top-notch reliever with a nasty fastball.

A-: Salem-Keizer Volcanoes WON 9-4 (9-4)

Nico Giarratano 3-4, 2B, 2 RBI, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 error (2nd)
Mikey Edie 3-5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K
Robinson Medrano 2-3, 2 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB
Diego Rincones 3-5, 2 2B, 1 R

Norwith Gudino 6.0-5-2-0-0-7
Orleny Quiroz 1.1-1-1-0-0-1
Doug Still 1.2-4-1-1-0-2

Gudino has a 18-0 K-BB ratio this year

Rookie: DSL Giants WON 9-0 (13-8)

Jean Pena 3-5, 2B, 3 RBI, 2 K
Robinson Batista 2-4, 2B, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Jose Peralta 2-4, 2B, 3B, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 K

Peralta is just 16 years old.

Juan Sanchez 5.0-0-0-0-1-4
Luis Montero 2.0-1-0-0-2-1
Willian Suarez 1.0-0-0-0-0-1
Jose Cruz 1.0-0-0-0-0-1

Extremely impressive performance for the mini-Giants, just one hit and five total baserunners (3 BBs, 1 HBP). That also makes two starters in the DSL with no-hit outings (Ivan Armstrong).

Rookie: AZL Giants Black lost 2-1 (2-6)

Franklin Labour 1-3, 1 BB, 1 K.

While the DSL Giants 1-hit their opponent, the AZL Giants Black were 1-hit

Johan Herrera 2.0-2-0-0-0-2
Jerson Severino 4.0-2-0-0-3-2
Jose Maita 1.0-1-0-0-0-1
Ben Strahm 1.0-1-0-0-0-0
Travis Perry 1.0-4-2-2-0-1

The interesting part about being 1-hit is that the team actually had a chance to win 1-0, but they blew it in the 9th.

Rookie: AZL Giants Orange lost 4-1 (4-4)

The Orange were 3-hit. Just no offense is Arizona tonight, something must have been up with the weather.

Marco Gonzalez 4.0-5-4-1-2-3
Sam Wolff 1.0-1-0-0-1-1
JJ Santa Cruz 2.0-1-0-0-2-1 (what a name)
Ryan Walker 1.0-1-0-0-0-3
