Down on the Farm: 4/27/2016

AAA  Sacramento River Cats were idle.

AA  Bowie Baysox defeated the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-3:

Ali Castillo 2B- 3 for 4, 2 2B, SB(2).  BA= .353.
Ryder Jones 3B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .286.
Tyler Horan CF(CF?)- 2 for 3, HR(2), BB.  BA= .346.
Chase Johnson RHP- 4.2 IP, 9 H, 6 R, 2 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 6.00.
Christian Jones LHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 7.00.
Big Dan Slania RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.   ERA= 0.82.

Ali Castillo was a minor league FA sign.  He is supposed to be a magical fielder.  I can see Tyler Horan gaining more PT.  The CF next to his hame got my attention.  Somehow I don't think CF is his ticket to the major leagues although he is quite fast for a big guy.

High A  San Jose Giants beat the Stockton Ports 4-2:

CJ Hinojosa SS- 1 for 2, 2 BB, SB(1).  BA= .333.
Chris Shaw 1B- 2 for 4.  BA= .328.
Jose Vizcaino Jr. 3B- 2 for 4.  BA= .274.
Jason Forjet RHP- 6.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 5.02.
Reyes Maronta RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.50.
Rodolfo Martinez RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(5).  ERA= 1.23.

Forjet bounces back from a disaster start, but doesn't have the K pitch going.

Low A  Kannapolis Intimidators edged out the Augusta Greenjackets 4-3:

Phil Bickford RHP- 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K's.  ERA= 3.48.
Ryan Koziol RHP- 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.97.

No BABIP excuses tonight.  7 innings of pure dominance out of Phil Bickford.  Woo hoo!
