Weekend Minor League roundup, April 17-19: Cam Maldonado can’t miss! The weekend on the farm.

Awesome weekends for Jhonny Level, Dakota Jordan, and Argenis Cayama ... but everyone paled in comparison to Cam Maldonado

I am so happy that Heliot Ramos has found his swing

HELIOT RAMOS HOME RUNNNNNN!!!!!!! LFG!!!!!

defensively he most certainly is

I really hope Daniel Susac keeps hitting and Patrick Bailey figures things out.

I really fear that Daniel Susac will stop hitting, and Patrick Bailey's confidence will be tanked a bit in the process.

Daniel Susac getting another start, even with Logan Webb on the mound.

1. Willy Adames (SS)
2. Luis Arráez (2B)
3. Matt Chapman (3B)
4. Rafael Devers (1B)
5. Casey Schmitt (DH)
6. Jung Hoo Lee (RF)
7. Heliot Ramos (LF)
8. Daniel Susac (C)
9. Drew Gilbert (CF)

RHP. Logan Webb

Minor League roundup, April 16: Big, big, big home runs Yesterday on the farm.

Whole lotta home runs this year ... just not in the majors lol

Giants-Nationals Series Preview: Is either team good? The Giants’ failed pursuit of CJ Abrams won’t come back to bite them in this series, right?

@bryanmurphy.bsky.social asking the important questions

they moved him to AA to make space for Hentges' rehab in Sacramento and last night sadly did not go well for him

Giants break losing streak with one-hit shoutout against Reds Four SF Giants pitchers combine to one-hit Cincinnati Reds, 3-0

Finally, @seankeane.bsky.social got to recap a good game!

Minor League roundup, April 15: The homers just keep coming Yesterday on the farm.

Not a lot of home runs for the Giants. But a lot for their minor league teams!

oh, this bsky.app/profile/gian...

I'd say that's a slight mischaracterization of Bednar, since he only has 2 appearances and just got rocked last night in AA

Giants salvaged a win, but that was a very amateur hour series. 7 total runs in 3 games at a hitter's paradise. an outfielder unable to find his glove. a blatant dropped ball that would have resulted in a high-leverage double that goes unchallenged. just some JV stuff right now.

what in the world is Sal Stewart pissy about

P.J. Higgins breaks up Landen Roupp's no-hitter with a leadoff single in the 6th inning

Well, Landen Roupp is awesome at least

Eugenio Suárez breaks up Landen Roupp's perfect game with a 1-out walk in the 2nd inning

Landen Roupp K counter: 2

Landen Roupp K counter: 1

Willy Adames breaks up Chase Burns' perfect game with a 2-out single in the 1st inning

AI really is so good at writing about sports, y'all

Twitter headline: "Giants prospect Bryce Eldridge crushes three-run homer in triple-A debut at-bat"

wow, huge news from twitter, bryce eldridge finally made it to AAA

tl;dr is this: these don't feel like things smart teams do

anyway, all respect to two very nice guys who are having feel-good seasons, but if the Giants new lineup heavily features Will Brennan and Daniel Susac, I might have to start using up a lot of PTO

desperate times call for desperate measures, but desperate measures in baseball usually make you look dumb

Patrick Bailey is a franchise catcher with the best defense in baseball. Daniel Susac is a guy who hit below average in AAA last year and the A's got to watch closely and decided they'd leave unprotected because they had Austin Wynns. This is not a mid-April move.

Giants are struggling and gotta press buttons, but this feels like very poor process to me. Way too early in the season to do this kind of stuff, and it only serves to hurt each player when they invariably regress to their true talent levels

I get that the Giants are slumping and need an injection of something, but I personally do not think benching Heliot Ramos for consecutive gates in favor of Will Brennan should be that thing.

what did he say that makes you think that? that would be shocking
