Joan Gregorio's roll has hit a bit of a speed bump in the PCL where he's now run up an ERA over 5.00 after surrendering 3 or more runs in four consecutive starts (the longest of which was 6 innings). Gregorio's still exhibiting strike out stuff, even against LHH which is encouraging, but he hasn't been fine enough with his command to get away with mistakes. To the field correspondent!
Gregorio strikes out Colin Moran (L) to end Top 1st.

You still saw some of the strikeout stuff from Joan Gregorio tonight but fell behind in too many counts, pisses missed outside zone.
— Matt Johnson (@MattJ_CRCSports) June 15, 2016
Might have been a smaller zone on outside/inside but Gregorio fell behind into 3-1 counts, left two up that were taken deep. Made difference
— Matt Johnson (@MattJ_CRCSports) June 15, 2016
HRs to Max Stassi (Astros #19 prospect) and Nolan Fontana (#29) were the big blows against Gregorio, and #1 Astros propsect A.J. Reed also had a big night, with two doubles in the game.
The Sacramento offense got off to a good start, scoring two runs in the 1st inning. They had the Fresno starter on the ropes, working him for a 30 pitch inning, but once he escaped it the RiverCats could get little traction against him or the bullpen the rest of the night. Austin Slater had a nice night with two hits, though he also made a two-run error, dropping a fly ball from Jon Singleton deep in the corner. Andrew Susac really continues to struggle, and you have to wonder just how healthy he really is. With the hat trick last night, he's up to 21 Ks in 88 ABs with Sacramento this year with an OPS under .650.
Mac Williamson will be rejoining the team and hopefully giving the offense a lift tonight. In the meantime, this was about all the offense they had:
#RiverCats Travis Ishikawa beats the shift and drives in Austin Slater on two-out RBI single.

Christian Arroyo apparently woke up yesterday morning and thought, "hey, walks are good too!" By the end of the evening, he'd increased his season walk total by 40%. Whether this was a weird anomaly or a concerted effort to focus on his approach is unknown. But it's definitely a strikingly different kind of line for young Christian.
Big Dan Slania pretty much did it all for the Squirrels last night, working into the 6th inning on another effective start and knocking in two runs with the first two hits of his pro career. The 5.2 innings worked was his season (and career) high and he's now surrendered just three runs in his four starts covering 19.2 IP. Pretty great work for an emergency fill-in/convert. He's still working mostly with a fastball that he's keeping on the black and then mixing in a nice curveball. Here he is striking out his penultimate hitter of the night, Mets #3 prospect Dominic Smith with that curveball (Smith, by the way, is the only hitter in the EL younger than Christian Arroyo by a matter of a few weeks).
The Squirrels picked up 8 runs on just 9 hits thanks to a heaping help of 8 BBs from the B-Mets pitchers. Their four run first included just two hits, but had three walks a HB and a PB included. But since scoring via bases loaded HB and PB isn't that exciting, let's watch Ryder Jones drill a double to the opposite field!
Speaking of Ryder, he doesn't get a lot of love for his defensive abilities (and there's some good reasons for that) but he's got a fantastic arm and is a good athlete. Here he was showing off both his arm and athleticism with a fine play last night (didn't get the out but a fine play nonetheless).
It's officially time to be concerned about Jake Smith. Dude is not right right now. He's walked six out of the last 10 batters he's faced and overall on the year he's walked 23 batters in just 20.1 IP and his WHIP is at 2.0. I would think a DL stint has to be in Smith's near-term future because he's either hurt or he needs to work on something away from competitions for a bit.

The Giants were officially eliminated from first half title contention with this extra innings loss to the struggling 66ers.
Ronnie Jebavy picked up two more hits, moving his hitting streak up to 8 games now. Jebavy's posted an .327/.370/.449 line in June, and of course, he continues to play excellent defense. Here he is snuffing out a rally in the 7th inning of last night's game.
Yesterday we showed Jordan Johnson bowing his neck when times got tough, but you know who really has a neck to bow? Reyes Moronta! A big thick neck. Trying to hold onto a 4-4 tie in the 9th inning last night, the burly reliever dug deep, in a very long, tiring inning, and came out on top:
DJ Snelten turned his 2015 season around after being sent back down to Augusta, having a very nice second half run in the Sally league. But his second shot at the Cal League hasn't gone much better than his first. After surrendering 10 runs in his last two starts over 10.2 innings, his ERA is on the climb towards the 5.00 mark. He's given up 3 or more runs in 8 of his 11 starts, and 4 or more runs 5 times.
#SJGiants moves from last 2 days: Martin Agosta & Cristian Paulino to DL. Jose Casilla added from AAA, C Rene Melendez added from Ext ST.

Something of a desultory vibe in today's games with both A ball teams having been eliminated from 1st half contention last night and (with all due apologies to Clayton Blackburn) probably not the sexiest slate of starters we've seen this year. Mid-week ball.
Today's Starting Matchups:
Sacramento: Clayton Blackburn vs. Brad Peacock
Richmond: Matt Gage vs. Tyler Pill
San Jose: Mark Reyes vs TBD
Augusta: Michael Connolly vs. Christian Morris
