MLB –
R.I.P. – Johnny Pesky
Remember this name… Corby McCoy… signed out of Nicaragua by NYY
Twins minor league
catcher Michael Quesada batted .234/.329/.313 in
64 at-bats for Rookie-level Elizabethton this season prior to testing positive
for Methylhexaneamine. Minnesota selected him from Sierra (Calif.) JC in the
24th round of the 2010 draft… aren’t you supposed to hit better than this after
you take this shit?
MLB - Mets:
Much less Mets chatter
online… fans are shutting down.
AAA – Buffalo:
RHP Collin McHugh makes his 11th start of the season tonight
for the Herd. In his last outing, the righty struck out eight against Syracuse
but suffered the loss for the Herd. McHugh has worked six or more innings in
five consecutive starts. The righty faced Pawtucket on July 15 and allowed
three earned runs in six innings of a no-decision (6K).
Monday – Loss, 1-5
It was fun getting to watch a Buffalo game. One of the
positive signs was the comfort ability Lucas Duda showed
playing left field. He chased down a particular bullet that easily could have
been a double… SP Collin McHugh pitched great,
throwing many more nasty 11-6 curves than I have ever seen him throw in the
past… but it was RP C.J. Nitkowski that totally
defined nastiness with his sidearm curve. One looked like came in the zone
behind the player.
On the down side, we might have seen the last time Pedro Beato is on national television. 6-ERs in last
two games, 7-R.
AA-Binghamton:.
Night off…
A+ - St. Lucie:
The Mets received just six starts out of righty Jake deGrom during his first two pro seasons, but the
former two-way standout at Stetson has made up significant ground this season
to get back on track. The 2010 ninth-rounder missed all of ’11 while recovering
from Tommy John surgery, but he jumped to high Class A for his start on
Saturday after going 6-3, 2.51 in 15 starts for low Class A Savannah. DeGrom
allowed only one hit in seven innings while striking out eight in his Florida
State League debut. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/2012/08/top-prospect-performers-over-the-weekend-aug-10-12/
Monday – night off
A – Savannah:
Monday – Win, 4-3
SP Michael Fulmer threw his
usual QS: 5.0-IP, 1-ER, 4-H, 4-K, but 3-BB… ERA for season: 2.54.
Savannah hung on Chason Bradford,
but T.J. Chism closed it out with his 17th
save. T.J. will definitely close for St. Lucie in 2013.
Prospect CF Gilbert Gomez went
2-3, .271. Another prospect heading to St. Lucie in the spring.
A-Low – Brooklyn:
Short-season Brooklyn
righty Hansel Robles has been just about untouchable in his past four New
York-Penn League starts, allowing three runs in 28 innings while striking out
31, issuing zero walks and allowing 15 hits. He tossed eight shutout, one-hit
frames against Vermont on Friday. The Mets signed Robles, who ranks third in
the NYP in ERA (1.48) and strikeouts (51), as a 19-year-old out of the
Dominican Republic in August 2008. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/2012/08/top-prospect-performers-over-the-weekend-aug-10-12/
Brandon Nimmo with 7
multi-hit games in his last 9. Now hitting .273/.391/.432 with 18 2B, a 3B, 3
HR, & 30 BB in 48 NYPL games
Monday – doesn’t anyone
play baseball anymore?
Rookie –
Kingsport:
Ditto…
