Luis Matos may have found his power his been missing in Sacramento, hitting a home run in his second straight game. Mason Black had his best start in Richmond. And Guillermo Williamson had a big game in the AZL.

AAA: Sacramento 4, Las Vegas 3

Sacramento Notes:

• The River Cats pulled out a back-and-forth game, as the teams traded single runs throughout the game. It came down to the Cats leading 3-2, but Las Vegas tied the game with a run on a fielder’s choice in the 9th. But with one out in the 9th, and a runner on second, Tyler Fitzgerald hit a flyball to left-center that saw the fielders collide, and drop the ball, allowing the walkoff run to come in on the error.

• Has Luis Matos found his power? He went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run. That’s two home runs in as many days, and now in 20 games at Sacramento, he’s hit .380/.412/.587, with six doubles, two triples, and three home runs.

https://twitter.com/RiverCats/status/1667006443894067200?s=20

• Also hitting a home run was left fielder Will Wilson, on a 1-for-3 day. That was Wilson’s seventh home run of the season, in his 57th game. Wilson has a batting line of just .211/.280/.363 on the season, with eight doubles and seven home runs.

https://twitter.com/RiverCats/status/1667015322698944512?s=20

• Third baseman David Villar went 3-for-4 with a double, his fourth since returning to Sacramento. Villar is batting .333/.426/.614, with four doubles and four home runs, and with ten walks to 16 strikeouts over 15 games.

https://twitter.com/RiverCats/status/1667007403617918976?s=20

• Shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles. That’s three straight 2-hit games for Fitzgerald, which has raised his Sacramento batting average from .302 to .320. He’s got five doubles, one triple, and three home runs.
• Catcher Joey Bart’s difficult rehab continued with an 0-for-4 day with three strikeouts. That takes Bart down to hitting just 2-for-21 (.095) over six games with 11 strikeouts in this rehab stint.
• Pitcher Phoenix Sanders made his first start of the season, and gave up a run in 2.0 innings, allowing two hits and a walk, with two strikeouts. Sanders now has a 15.63 ERA after six appearances, with seven walks to five strikeouts in 6.1 innings.
• Reliever Joey Marciano struck out four in 1.1 innings, giving up only a HBP. It’s the most strikeouts Marciano has had since May 9th. He now has 36 strikeouts to 27 walks with 28.1 innings.
• Erik Miller gave up an unearned run on no hits and two walks, with two strikeouts in 1.1 innings. Miller’s got 23 strikeouts to 12 walks in 17.0 innings, and nudged his ERA down to 2.12.

AA: Richmond 2, Altoona 0

Richmond Notes:

• You don’t get pitcher’s duels like this one very often. Mason Black gave up two hits, a HBP, and nothing else in 4.0 innings, and those were the only baserunners given up by Richmond all game. Meanwhile Brandon Martorano hit a home run in the 7th inning to give Richmond a 1-0 lead, while a Simon Whiteman RBI single in the 8th gave them an unneeded run of insurance.
• The big hit was by catcher Brandon Martorano, who was 1-for-4 with his first Double-A home run in his return to the level. Martorano went down with an injury in late April, and made two rehab appearances in Arizona on June 5-6. He was 1-for-4 in each of those games just like today, but this time he hit a home run. In ten total games at Double-A, he’s batting .143/.324/.286 with one double and one home run, and eight walks to 14 strikeouts.

https://twitter.com/GoSquirrels/status/1666958365510057990?s=20

• Center fielder Simon Whiteman went 1-for-3. In 45 games, Whiteman has just a .209 batting average and a .302 on-base percentage.

https://twitter.com/GoSquirrels/status/1666965232533610502?s=20

• The other Richmond hit belonged to Carter Williams, who was also 1-for-3 with a stolen base, leading to the team’s second run. It’s Williams’ third stolen base in his fourth attempt. He’s batting .257/.309/.407 in 34 games at Double-A.
• Mason Black had one of his best starts, notching six strikeouts and allowing only the two hits and a HBP in 4.0 innings. That bumps his ERA down to 5.31 after 11 games, and he now has 51 strikeouts to 15 walks in 40.2 innings.

https://twitter.com/GoSquirrels/status/1666951329732870147?s=20

• Wil Jensen struck out four in 3.0 innings without allowing a baserunner. It was his best outing of the year, pushing his ERA down to 2.97, and gives him 41 strikeouts against 15 walks in 33.1 innings.
• In his second game at Double-A, José Cruz had a great start, striking out three in 2.0 innings. He gave up two runs in an inning in his first appearance. He now has four strikeouts to one walk and two hits in 3.0 innings.

High-A: Eugene 10, Tri-City 5

Eugene Notes:

• The Emeralds blew out the Dust Devils, with two big early rallies. A Victor Bericoto 2-run double highlighted a 5-run 2nd inning. That was followed by an Edison Mora triple highlighting a 3-run 3rd inning, putting Eugene up 8-4 early, and never looking back as they would win 10-5.
• Victor Bericoto went 3-for-5 with two doubles, giving him ten on the season. It’s Bericoto’s second straight 3-hit game, as he has boosted his batting average from .285 to .305 over those two games. He now has ten doubles, a triple, and nine home runs.
• Center fielder Grant McCray was 3-for-5 with a triple, and picked up two stolen bases. It’s McCray’s third game with at least three hits this season, and fifth game with multiple stolen bases. McCray now has 23 steals in 28 attempts over 51 games on the season.
• Second baseman Edison Mora went 2-for-4 with a strikeout, and his first triple of the season. After six straight hitless games, Mora is 5-for-12 (.417) over his last three games with two doubles, a triple, and a home run. His overall batting line is still just .160/.236/.320.
• Starting pitcher John Bertrand struggled, giving up a season-high five runs on six hits and a season-high four walks in 3.1 innings, striking out just three. His High-A ERA is now at 5.18, with 19 strikeouts to seven walks in 24.1 innings.
• Reliever Ben Madison struck out four in 1.2 innings, allowing only one walk, although he threw two wild pitches. He shaved his ERA down to 3.90, the lowest it’s been since April 23rd. He has 46 strikeouts to 17 walks in 27.2 innings.

Low-A: San Jose 6, Visalia 4

https://preview.redd.it/gmq5g1nqvy4b1.jpg?width=2496&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c488f30a92a294d61b7ed59e3ec0eb4e69402600
Link
San Jose Notes:

• A strong start by Gerelmi Maldonado led to a San Jose win. By the time Visalia got on the board, San Jose was up 4-0. Visalia would tie it up, but in the 7th inning, Anthony Rodriguez hit a 2-run double to give the Giants the win.
• Matt Higgins had the lone San Jose home run, going 1-for-5 with his seventh home run of the season. It’s Higgins’ first home run since May 21st. To go with the seven home runs, Higgins has ten doubles and a triple, to go with a batting line of .290/.371/.485.
• Second baseman Thomas Gavello was 2-for-4 with a double, his eighth of the season. Gavello has a batting line of .271/.421/.493 with eight doubles, a triple, and seven home runs. He has 52 strikeouts to 17 walks in 39 games.
• Third baseman Anthony Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk. After seven games, Rodriguez now has four doubles and a triple, with two walks to nine strikeouts. Rodriguez’s batting line is now .357/.419/.571.
• Shortstop Jose Ramos was 1-for-4, but picked up three stolen bases. That gives him 16 steals in 17 attempts in 47 games. He’s close to his total of last season, when he had 22 steals in 23 attempts in 49 DSL games. Ramos has a batting line of just .213/.313/.331 after 47 games.
• Starting pitcher Gerelmi Maldonado went 4.0 shutout innings, on one hit and one walk, with three strikeouts and a wild pitch. Maldonado hasn’t given up any earned runs in his last three games, a span of 12.0 innings. He has a 3.75 ERA with 40 strikeouts to 24 walks in 36.0 innings.

ACL Giants Black Notes:

• Left fielder Guillermo Williamson led the way in this game, going 2-for-5 with two home runs, including a grand slam. Those are his first two home runs in three games so far this season, and the 19-year old is batting .455/.500/1.091 to start the young season.
• DH Nomar Diaz led the team in hitting, going 3-for-5 with a triple. Diaz is 3-for-8 (.375) in two games so far, with the triple as his first extra-base hit.
• Catcher Cesar Gonzalez, going 1-for-5 with his first triple of the season. The 22-year old is 2-for-8 (.250) in two games, with a double and a triple, giving him a .625 slugging percentage.
• Center fielder Cesar Quintas had a perfect on-base day, going 2-for-2 with two walks, a double, and a HBP. After three games, Quintas is 4-for-7 with five walks and a strikeout.
• Ryan Reckley was 1-for-6 with three strikeouts, a stolen base, and three errors. That is four errors in 24.0 innings after three games for Reckley. He’s 2-for-13 (.154) to start the season.
• Mauricio Llovera had another rehab start, giving up a run in one inning on two hits, and striking out three. He has five strikeouts and no walks in 2.0 innings in his rehab so far.

DSL Giants Black Notes:

• Shortstop Samuel Rodriguez was 2-for-4 with a walk, and his second double of the young season. He also got caught stealing and gave up an error. The 19-year old is batting .385/.429/.538 after three games, with two doubles.
• First baseman Eduardo Montero went 2-for-4 with a strikeout, and his first double of the season in his first game of the year.
• Center fielder Rayner Arias was 2-for-4 with a walk in his third game. After three games, he’s 5-for-13 (.385) with a home run, and two walks to two strikeouts.
• DH Yosneiker Rivas was 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base. It’s been a slow start for him hitting, as he’s just 2-for-11 (.182), but he has five walks to one strikeout, leading to a .438 on-base percentage.
• Starting pitcher Carlos Rangel gave up two runs, one earned, over 4.0 innings. He gave up five hits and two walks, with two strikeouts and a wild pitch. It’s the 19-year old’s first start. Rangel made eight appearances in 2022, all in relief, where he had a 9.82 ERA and just nine strikeouts to 11 walks in 7.1 innings.

DSL Giants Orange Notes:

• Left fielder Angel Guzman led the team in hitting, going 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles. That gives the 17-year old four doubles in just three games, and is batting .462 with a .769 slugging percentage already.
• DH Jose Astudillo went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk. The double was his first of the season, as the 19-year old has started his third season in the DSL by going 7-for-12 (.583) with a walk to no strikeouts, and with a steal.
• Second baseman Anthony Tandron was 2-for-5 with his first double and first stolen base of the season. After three games, the 17-year old is 4-for-11 (.364) with a double, and two walks to two strikeouts. He has one steal in two attempts so far.
• Right fielder Luis Frias was 2-for-5 with a steal and got caught stealing. The 18-year old now has four steals in five attempts, and has gone 5-for-15 (.333) to begin the season.
• Starter Jose Rengel (not to be confused with the Black team’s Carlos Rangel) gave up three runs in his 2.1 innings, on three hits and a walk, with four strikeouts. It was the 17-year old Venezuelan’s first start.
• Reliever Moises Gonzalez struck out four with just one walk allowed in 2.0 innings It’s a great bounceback for Gonzalez, who gave up three runs in just a third of an inning in his first appearance of the year.

On Friday, June 2nd, 2023, Giants' first baseman Lamonte Wade, Jr. smoked the opening pitch of the game into McCovey Cove to take a 1-0 lead over the visiting Orioles. The historic home run was the 100th round tripper hit into the water by a Giants player since the best stadium in baseball (sorry Pittsburgh) opened in the year 2000.
While I found helpful data sources on MLB.com and Baseball Almanac, I wanted to dig a little deeper into Splash Hit data by both the Giants and opposing teams, specifically because I knew Barry Bonds had the most waterballs, but I had NO idea who was #2. Let me throw some fun facts at you first - these will be great trivia questions for the other, more offline baseball fans in your life.

Splash Hit Fun Facts

• While Giants players have now combined for 100 Splash Hits, all other opposing teams have combined for 55
• Joc Pederson and Ryan Klesko are the only two players to have Splash Hits as members of the Giants and another team - the Dodgers and Cubs for Joc, and the Padres for Klesko
• Including Joc, four players have hit more than one Splash Hit as members of more than one other organization - the others are Adam Laroche with the Diamondbacks and Pirates, Bryce Harper with the Nats and Phillies, and Carlos Delgado with the Mets and Marlins
• The Diamondbacks are the opposing team that has hit the most Splash Hits with 8
• No player on the Guardians, Tigers, Royals, Twins, Orioles, Yankees, Rays, Blue Jays, A's, or Mariners has hit one yet, mostly due to limited appearances in San Francisco (not the A's though, they just suck)
• Tim Lincecum is the Giants pitcher who has given up the most opposing Splash Hits with 5, and ten other pitchers are tied for second with two
• Barry Bonds hit the first Giants Splash Hit on 5/1/2000, while Todd Hundley of the Angels was the first opponent to hit one two months later on 6/30/2000
• No right-handed hitter has ever clubbed a Splash Hit, although Buster Posey came close a few times
• EXTREMELY GOOD TRIVIA QUESTION ALERT: Who was the second Giant after Bonds to hit one into the cove? Utilityman Felipe Crespo, who bounced around the league for five years, amassing ten career home runs... 20% wet dongs isn't bad.

Splash Hits by Giants Player

Here is the graph showing the top thirteen Splash Hit bombers for the Giants. No surprise that Barry Bonds is alone at the top (and will probably stay there until we get Ohtani next season).
Take a shot if you thought you'd see Aubrey Huff in this post.
I was pretty surprised that Brandon Belt was #2, considering that he never achieved the power numbers it seemed like he could. Regardless, hitting almost one Splash Hit per year as a Giant was enough to get him there. It's great to see current players Yaz, Lamonte, and Joc moving up each season, and I think Joc will take #2 from Belt if he stays a few more years.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aldebaran Resources Inc. (“ Aldebaran ” or the “ Company ”) (TSX-V: ALDE, OTCQX: ADBRF) is pleased to report results for holes ALD-23-227 and ALD-23-228 from its ongoing drilling campaign at the Altar copper-gold project in San Juan Province, Argentina.
Hole ALD-23-227 was a 200 m step out hole to the north from previously released ALD-22-223 (1,167.50 m of 0.48% CuEq – see March 1, 2023 press release). ALD-23-228 was a 200 m step out to the north from previously released ALD-23-225B (951.20 m of 0.60% CuEq – see May 31, 2023 press release).
Both holes have provided valuable additional pierce points into the promising geophysical anomaly beneath and lateral to current resources at the Altar project. In addition, both ALD-23-227 and ALD-23-228 tested the northern extension of the newly identified Altar United trend.
ALD-23-227 entered favourable host rocks at approximately 1,000 m depth, and then returned attractive grade mineralization until the end of the hole. ALD-23-228 hit the favourable host rock formation at approximately 750 m depth and thereafter returned some of the highest-grade copper mineralization encountered on the project to date, demonstrating that the high-grade mineralization found previously in hole ALD-23-225B has continuity.
Highlights
ALD-23-228

• 565.60 m of 0.60% CuEq from 676.00 m depth
  • Including 474.60 m of 0.69% CuEq from 767.00 m depth
    • Including 329.60 of 0.80% CuEq from 912.00 m depth
• Hole ended in 74.60 m of 0.80% CuEq with the last sample running 0.96% CuEq
• The Company has re-entered hole ALD-23-228 and is actively drilling to test for the deeper extension of this higher-grade mineralization

ALD-23-227

• 198.50 m of 0.50% CuEq from 1,040.00 m depth
  • Including 60.50 m of 0.63% CuEq from 1,178.0 m depth
• Hole ended in 31.50 m of 0.69% CuEq

John Black, Chief Executive Officer of Aldebaran, commented as follows: “Hole 228 represents another remarkable run of mineralization and represents some of the better grades we’ve seen at the Altar project. We have re-started drilling on hole 228 to see if the higher-grade mineralization continues to depth. The Altar system continues to grow well beyond what was previously understood. The resource we have in hand already represents one of the largest undeveloped copper projects in the world; however, with the mineralization we’ve been hitting in recent drill results, we expect it to grow substantially.”
Dr. Kevin B. Heather, Chief Geological Officer of Aldebaran, commented as follows: “Both holes reported today demonstrate that the new Altar United trend continues to deliver solid runs of higher-grade mineralization that build onto the previous higher-grade intercepts reported recently in holes 223, 224, and 225B. With these new results, it’s clear that Altar United is delivering continuity of higher-grade mineralization, within an already very large Altar system, that will add additional higher-grade tonnage. The upper portions of holes 227 and 228 both drilled through less favourable rhyolite host rocks, and while they didn’t return exceptional grades, it demonstrates that even poor host rocks can be mineralized in this strong system The lower-grade intervals reported today will likely report to resource at a break-even cut-off grade, which typically hovers around 0.1% CuEq, thus potentially reducing the strip ratio.”

Discussion of Results
ALD-23-227
Drillhole ALD-23-227 was collared 200 m north of ALD-22-223 (see Company news release dated March 1, 2023). It was drilled at an -75-degree inclination and a 180-degree azimuth. The final depth of the hole was 1,238.50 m.
Drillhole ALD-23-227 intersected a package of strongly fragmental dacitic crystal tuff over the first 428 m, then transitioned to less favourable but weakly mineralized massive rhyolite, which continued to a depth of 1,179.60 m. The hole then transitioned into the better mineralized diorite porphyry intrusive rocks until the end of the hole, with mineralization increasing towards the bottom of the hole.
The base of oxidation in hole ALD-23-227 is only 26 m depth. Alteration in this hole is characterized dominantly by white sericite-pyrite-tourmaline-quartz assemblages and sporadic pyrite-enargite-anhydrite / anhydrite-carbonates-chalcopyrite-sphalerite structures and veins. This white sericite alteration overprints, and locally obliterates, an earlier green sericite-chalcopyrite-pyrite assemblage from the very first metres of the hole up until approximately 750 m depth, leaving only local windows of the earlier green sericite assemblage. Beyond 750 m depth, the green sericite-chalcopyrite-pyrite assemblage progressively increases along with an associated increase in both chalcopyrite and quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite-molybdenite veins.
From 843.80 m to 1179.60 m depth, white sericite-pyrite-quartz alteration is of moderate intensity and associated with an increase in the occurrence of chalcopyrite. In this interval, the rhyolite porphyry has some relicts of biotite-magnetite-k feldspar (potassic) alteration, which is overprinted by increasing green sericite-chalcopyrite-anhydrite assemblages associated with halo-style veins (as documented in nearby holes 223, 224 and 225B).
From 1,179.60 m to the end of the hole, biotite-k feldspar-magnetite-chalcopyrite-bornite (potassic) is the dominant alteration in the diorite porphyry intrusion, but is also overprinted by moderate intensity, green sericite-quartz-anhydrite-chalcopyrite-(chalcocite) alteration-mineralization, pervasively developed in the halos of hairline veins. A substantial increase in the frequency of quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite-molybdenite veins is also observed towards the bottom of the hole.
ALD-23-228
Drillhole ALD-23-228 was collared 212 m north of ALD-23-225B (see Company news release dated May 31, 2023). It was drilled at an -75-degree inclination and a 180-degree azimuth. The final depth of the hole was 1,241.60 m (drilling has re-started on this hole to deepen it).
Similar to drillhole ALD-23-227, hole 228 intersected a package of strongly fragmental dacitic crystal tuffs from surface to 205.30 m. These volcaniclastic rocks overlie a long run of massive rhyolite extending to a depth of 805 m, followed by more favourable andesitic volcanic host rocks until 918.55 m depth and then from there until the bottom of the hole within well mineralized diorite porphyry intrusive rocks.
The oxidation profile in ALD-23-228 is poorly developed in the upper portion of the hole, with the occurrence of sulphides from near surface and minor jarosite-goethite-hematite in fractures up to the base of oxidation at approximately 266 m depth.
Alteration within the upper crystal tuff and rhyolite units is characterized dominantly by the occurrence of white sericite-pyrite-tourmaline-quartz assemblages with minor pyrite-enargite-anhydrite / anhydrite-carbonates-chalcopyrite-sphalerite vein structures overprinting an earlier green sericite-quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite alteration. “D” type veins, which are typically late in the development of porphyry copper systems, are very frequent in the upper portion of the hole, with a lesser number of high-sulfidation structures; all crosscutting earlier quartz-green sericite-chalcopyrite-pyrite and white quartz-chalcopyrite-moly veins.
A major change in the style of alteration occurs within the andesite volcanic rocks and the diorite porphyry units below approximately 805 m depth. From this depth and to the bottom of the hole, the white sericite-pyrite assemblages decrease considerably, and the dominant alteration is characterized by an early, strongly developed biotite-k feldspar-chalcopyrite potassic assemblage overprinted by a green sericite-quartz-anhydrite-chalcopyrite-(chalcocite) assemblage associated with the halos on hairline veins, both of which are well mineralized.
These halo-style veins are pervasive and obliterate the original texture of the rock and are associated with very high copper grades due to abundant fine-grained sulphides consisting of chalcopyrite-pyrite-bornite-molybdenite. Occurrence of these halo veins also corresponds with an increasing frequency of quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite-molybdenite veins, which in most cases are crosscutting the halo-style veins.
Project Update
The Company is actively drilling with four rigs. Holes ALD-23-229, ALD-23-230, ALD-23-231 and ALD-23-189EXT are completed and were terminated at 1,413.60 m, 611.40 m, 1,211.80 m, and 1,246.00 m respectively: all pending final assays. Hole ALD-23-189EXT, is an extension of a historically drilled hole ALD-12-189, which was originally terminated at 592 m depth. At the date of this release, holes ALD-23-232, ALD-23-124EXT and ALD-23-228EXT were active and at approximately 1064.70 m, 751.00 m and 1,358.70 m depths, respectively. Hole ALD-23-124EXT is an extension of a historically drilled hole ALD-12-124, which was originally terminated at 226.50 m depth. A fourth rig just commenced drilling on hole ALD-23-233 and will not reach its planned target depth during the current campaign but will be left in good standing in order to re-enter and continue the hole at the start of the next field campaign. The Company plans to begin demobilizing the drill rigs and then shut down the camp to close out the 2022/2023 drill campaign in the coming week.
