Mets Minor League Games - 6-19-15

Minor League Player of The Night - thundering Captain Kirk


Honorable Mention - Johnny Monell, Danny Muno, Eudor Garcia, and the Cyclones pitching staff.



AAA - Las Vegas - (39-30) 11 - Fresno (41-27) 5

    RHSP Matt Bowman - 7.1 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 3BB, 3 K, 6.19

     CF Kirk Nieuwenhuis 3-5, 2 HR, 6 RBI, .538!!

     3B Danny Muno 4-5, .310

     C Johnny Monell 3-5, HR, 4 RBI, .381!!


With a big lead, I'd have pulled Bowman after his fine 7 innings allowing just one run, to help deflate his 6+ ERA. 

Wally blundered leaving him in, in my view, as he surrendered 3 runs in the 8th.

3 former major leaguers (see above) tore up the joint with their bats tonite.  But Taijeron now has 9 Ks in the past 4 games.


AA - New Hampshire (30-36) 3 - Binghamton (35-31) 2

    RHSP Robert Gsellman -   7.0-IP, 6-H, 3-R, 3-K, 3-BB, 4.70

    LF Michael Conforto -  2-4, 1-R, triple, .400

Conforto is a hitting freak, folks, and that is a VERY good thing.  Gsellman allowed 2 runs early but pitched very well.  Cecchini is in a major cold snap, 0-4 again.

A+ - St. Lucie -  no game scheduled  (all-star break)  



A - Savannah - (37-31) 6 - Augusta (33-34) 4

    RHSP Corey Oswalt -   6.1-IP, 6-H, 1-R, 2-K, 2-BB, 4.30

      3B Eudor Garcia, 3-5, HR (4), 2 RBI

     SS Luis Guillorme 3-4, BB, 2 RBI, .301, 11th error

Nice hitting assault pushed the Gnats to a 6-1 lead.  Corey had a fine outing, but the pen allowed 3 in the 8th to make folks nervous, but Savannah would gnat be denied.
Low-A  -  Brooklyn - (1-0) 3 - Staten Island (0-1) 2 , 12 innings

    RHSP Tyler Baldamo -   6.0-IP. 2-H, 2-R, 5-K, 2-BB, 3.00

Badamo surrendered a 2 run homer in the 2nd, and then he and 3 relievers tossed 10 scoreless innings to secure the win. 27 strikeouts between the 2 teams.

Only Tucker Tharp had 2 hits. Brooklyn compiled 8 total hits, 7 walks and 16 Ks.  Michael Bernal singled in the winning run and Gaither Bumgarner  tossed the final 2 frames for the win. Good season start.
Rookie - DSL 1-Mets (9-9) 9 - DSL Mariners (9-8) 6

    RHSP Edwin Germin  -  4.2-IP, 3-H, 3-R, 3-K, 2-BB, 4.60

    1B Domingo Martinez  -  4-5, 2-R, 2-doubles, 1-RBI, .299

    3B Rafael Valdez  -  3-3, 1-R, 2-doubles, 1-RBI, .286


Rookie - DSL 2 - nothing listed

GOAT: Wally Backman, and the NY Mets' minor league level of offense and defense (putting it mildly).
