For the first time in 80 years, there are no
veterans on either ticket
MLB –
Mike Zunino is hitting 377/.472/.726 in his first
28 professional games.
Sunday would have been Christy Mathewson’s 132nd birthday… played
with Julio Franco

Dave
Gershman - Totally forgot Matt Lindstrom existed
Buster
Olney - Johan Santana's numbers
since the June 1 no-hitter: Starts: 9. Innings: 44. Hits: 61. Home Runs: 11.
BB: 18. K: 39. ERA: 6.54.
AAA – Buffalo:
RHP Jenrry Mejia makes his
sixth start of the season and third since returning to the rotation at the end
of July. Mejia tossed 4.1 shutout innings on Monday in Syracuse. He allowed
just three hits and struck out a pair in the no-decision. As a starter this
year, Mejia is 0-1 with a 1.16ERA and only 15 hits allowed in 23.1 innings of
work.
Sunday – Win, 9-3
LF Lucas Duda had a big day:
3-5, 3-R, 2-doubles, .275… I have a funny feeling we’ll see him back in Queens
soon.
SS Josh Rodriguez hit his 6th
home run. I’d like to see him stick around next year as an emergency insurance
policy in case Ruben Tejada was to go down.
The best news of the night comes last. SP Jenrry Mejia shined: 5.0-IP, 70-42 (lower pitch count),
0-ER, 2-K, 1-BB, 2.90. Elvin Ramirez (2.30) pitched 1.1 scoreless, but Robert Carson (2.08) gave up a homer.
AA-Binghamton:
RHP Cory Mazzoni (4-3, 3.60)
makes his tenth start of the season and second against the Senators. Mazzoni
has taken the no-decision in his last two starts. He allowed six runs (five
earned) on nine hits over six innings in his last start against the New Britain
Rock Cats on August 7. Mazzoni faced Harrisburg on August 2, allowing three
runs (two earned) on ten hits over seven innings in a no-decision. Selected in
the 2nd round of the 2011 draft out of North Carolina State, Mazzoni started
his season with the St. Lucie Mets (High-A), going 5-1 with a 3.25 ERA in 12
starts in the Florida State League.
RHP Paul Demny (6-6, 5.29)
makes his 22nd start of the season and first since July 25. Demny’s last two
appearances came in relief, combining to throw 2.1 scoreless innings. Demny is
searching for his first win since June 27. He started against the B-Mets on
June 5, allowing four runs on six hits over six innings in a no-decision. Demny
was selected in the 6th round of the 2008 draft by the Nationals out of Blinn
College (JC) in Brenham, Texas. The righty has made at least 23 starts in each
of his last three pro seasons, going 10-10 with a 4.32 ERA in 26 starts with
the Potomac Nationals (High-A) last year.
Sunday – Win, 7-2
This was a great overall win for the team… 15 hits including
three each from SS Sean Kazmar (.235), 2B Wilmer Flores (he sure is playing more 2B lately…
.292), and C Juan Centeno (.280).
Third game in-a-row that Reese Havens
hasn’t played.
Quality start by Cory Mazzoni:
5.0-IP, 6-H, 1-ER, 2-K, 3-BB, 3.45.
A+ - St. Lucie:
Game was cancelled…

Another dominating win
by a Mets affiliate.
14-hit attack, led by
three hits each from 3B Dimas Ponce (.207), DH Kevin Plawecki (.264), and 1B Alex
Sanchez (.263). Ponce added a home run.
SP Rainy Lara went to 7-1 (5.0-IP, 7-H, 4-ER, 6-K, 1-BB,
3.02, and how would you like to backed up with the likes of Logan Taylor (0.00) and John
Mincone (0.39)?
Rookie –

.260.

Mack, akeel Morris actually had 5 scoreless innings, with 9 k's, 2 hits & 2 walks. Hasn't really impressed this year, but this was a positive outing for him. Control has been his issue, which needs to be his focus in the offseason because his stuff is filthy if he could only figure out a way to harness it. Potential 8th inning setup man/closer in my opinion, or the next manny Alvarez. He, with Juan Urbana will take pretty big drop offs in the prospects rankings this year.
The Closer
