Tylor Megill battled through five innings in Minnesota, striking out three and
allowing just two earned—but it easily could’ve been less.
The Mets’
defense uncharacteristically cost him extra pitches and runs. Still, he flashed
a 128 proStuff+ fastball and held the line.

Blade Tidwell butchered the Buffalo Bisons today—five innings, two runs,
four punchouts, and pure dominance. His arsenal is absurd. It includes a 129
proStuff+ slider and a ridiculous 164 proStuff+ sweeper. Most pros dream of
stuff like this.

just 1 ERA of 5.0 IP with 8 K
He is
looking a lot more comfortable tossing his changeup continues. That pitch will

Wellington Aracena will be 20 for the entire 2025 season and has touched 101 on
the gun. He's 99% a reliever long term but yet another live arm to follow
With
sample sizes this small... it's silly to put too much stock into numbers (good
or bad) but Marco Vargas (after essentially
missing all of 2024) is 7/16 with 2 doubles, 4/1 BB/K
I don’t
know if Willhoite is or isn’t a legitimate prospect but considering they signed
him less than 3 weeks ago he’s been very impressive
Ernest Dove @ernestdove
Had to be
done. Luisangel Acuña with consistent reps is
getting it done. Plus the speed and defense. Should play everyday until Mcneil
returns.
Gilberto Celestino holding his own in Syracuse.
Perhaps the kind of guy you have on bench until Mcneil returns?
Long way
to go but maybe there's a chance names like Will Watson
& Jack Wenninger become more
household names within the Mets organization by the end of the season.
Imagine
telling a casual baseball fan about what's going on in the media regarding Juan Soto for the past......well since the season
started through today and then when they ask how bad the team is doing you
inform them they are in 1st place.

Anthony Nunez is off is a sizzling start for the @BKCyclones, 3 games, 4.2
innings, no hits, 3 walks, 11 Ks out of the 17 batters he has faced. The 23 yr old former infielder turned pitcher
is a big part of Brooklyn's 6-3 early record.

Juan Soto is seeing a pitch in the heart of the zone with a runner on base just 16
percent of the time, per Baseball Savant. Among players who have seen at least
100 pitches with a runner on base, Soto's percentage of pitches seen in the
heart of the zone ranks as the lowest.

Syracuse –
ReplyDeleteIn their best offensive output of the season, the Syracuse Mets beat the Buffalo Bisons, 10-2, in a weather-shortened, five-inning game at NBT Bank Stadium on Tuesday afternoon. Jakson Reetz had three hits, including two home runs in the win while Blade Tidwell allowed just two runs in five innings pitched.
It began as a moderately sunny day, and Buffalo (4-9) opened up the scoring before the clouds loomed as a threat at the ballpark. In the top of the second inning, Will Robertson doubled, and Ali Sánchez brought him in to score with an RBI single, putting the Bisons ahead, 1-0.
In the bottom of the third, Syracuse (6-9) responded with its highest-scoring inning of the season. To start it off, Gilberto Celestino led off with a single that extended his hitting streak to ten games. With one swing, the Mets took a 2-1 lead on Reetz’s second home run of the year. The next batter, Luis De Los Santos, hit a solo homer, extending the lead to 3-1 and giving Syracuse its first back-to-back home runs of the season. At the top of the order, Niko Goodrum walked, and Jon Singleton singled. With two runners on and two outs, Bisons starter Jake Bloss walked Luke Ritter and Donovan Walton to make it a 4-1 game. When Celestino came up for the second time, he hit a two-run single, putting the Mets in front, 6-1. In Reetz’s second at-bat of the inning, he notched his third RBI with a single that made it 7-1.
Leading off the fourth, Robertson hit a solo home run and cut the Syracuse lead to five, 7-2. After giving up the homer, Mets starter Blade Tidwell bounced back, retiring six of the next eight batters he faced. On the day, Tidwell tossed five innings, allowed two earned runs, walked one batter, and struck out four.
To start the bottom of the fourth, Goodrum worked a walk, and Singleton homered, putting Syracuse up 9-2. The next inning, Reetz went yard for the second time and extended the Mets lead to 10-2.
As the team took the field in the top of the sixth, it began to rain slowly and picked up harshly. By the end of Robertson’s at-bat against Kevin Herget, a hailstorm ensued, and the game went into postponement. After a 33-minute delay, the game was called with no outs in the top of the sixth, resulting in a Syracuse win, 10-2.
Although the Mets only played five innings, Syracuse had season highs with 12 hits, four home runs, and ten runs. In total, the Mets lineup went 12-for-25 and worked four walks.
Binghamton –
ReplyDeleteBinghamton Rumble Ponies (3-5) fell to the Reading Fightin Phils, 12-2, in the series opener at FirstEnergy Stadium on Tuesday night.
New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez began a rehab assignment with Binghamton and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, single, and was hit by a pitch. Alvarez caught for six innings defensively.
Binghamton took the lead in the top of the first inning. Center fielder Nick Morabito walked. With Morabito running on the pitch, first baseman Ryan Clifford hit an RBI double down the right-field line that made it 1-0.
Alvarez led off the third inning with a solo home run to left field that tied the game. Alvarez has homered during a rehab assignment in back-to-back seasons for Binghamton.
Postgame Notes: Reading hit four two-run home runs in the game…Binghamton left a season-high 13 runners on base and went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position…Binghamton used five pitchers and issued nine walks, while striking out eight batters…Reading used six pitchers in the game and the two teams combined to use 11 pitchers…Clifford doubled and drew two walks and has now drawn eight walks this season…Third baseman Nick Lorusso went 2-for-4 with two singles, a walk, and recorded his first multi-hit game of the season.
Brooklyn –
ReplyDeleteC Chris Suero continued his torrid start to the season, clobbering a two-run home run in the second and adding another two-run shot in the third, as the Brooklyn Cyclones captured their third-straight victory, 8-7, over the Aberdeen IronBirds on Tuesday night at Ripken Stadium.
After a scoreless first inning, the Cyclones’ offense (7-3) kicked into gear. CF Carson Benge lashed a double down the left-field line to start the frame, and Suero entered the fray with one out. After falling behind 0-2, the 21-year-old crushed a two-run home run onto the roof of the visitors' clubhouse beyond the left-field fence. Suero’s fourth home run of the season gave Brooklyn a 2-0 lead.
The Cyclones started to pull further away in the third. 2B-SS Boston Baro worked a lead-off walk and quickly scored on 3B Jacob Reimer’s one-out double to left-center. After RF-LF Eli Serrano III reached on a dropped third strike, Benge poked a single through the left side of the infield to bring home Reimer and stretch Brooklyn’s edge to 4-0.
Following a sacrifice fly to center by SS Jesús Báez, Suero stepped back in and swatted a 1-2 delivery off the scoreboard in left-center field for his second two-run blast in as many innings. The Bronx native’s third home run in three at-bats extended the Cyclones’ cushion to 7-0.
LHP Jonathan Santucci impressed for Brooklyn in his second professional start, striking out six and allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits over 3.2 innings. Only one of the three hits permitted reached the outfield.
RHP Jace Beck (1-0) entered in relief and tossed 1.1 innings of hitless and shutout relief to earn his first victory of the season. Lawson registered the final two outs for his first save of the campaign.
St. Lucie –
ReplyDeleteThe St. Lucie Mets returned to Clover Park with an emphatic 17-6 demolition of the Tampa Tarpons in the series opener between the teams on Tuesday night.
The Mets belted four homers in the game, including two by first baseman Trace Willhoite. Colin Houck mashed a three-run homer off the top of the batter’s eye. Minor league rehabber Jared Young ripped a two-run shot in the first inning.
The Mets started the scoring early with three runs in the first inning. Houck hit a one out triple and Young hit the next pitch for a homer for a 2-1 lead. A.J. Ewing contributed a two-out RBI single to make it 3-1.
The Mets broke the game open with eight runs in the second inning to go up 11-1. Houck and Willhoite clubbed three-run homers in the frame.
Most of the damage was done against Tampa starter Andrew Landry, who surrendered 10 runs (nine earned) in just 1.1 innings of work.
The Mets pounded out 14 hits. Young went 3 for 3 with the homer, a double, single, walk, two RBI and two runs scored. He played seven innings in left field.
New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (right oblique) continued his MLB rehab assignment. McNeil went 1 for 3 with a pair of walks while playing seven innings at second base. McNeil has hit safely in all three rehab games.
Houck finished 2 for 5 with the homer, triple and three RBI. Yonatan Henriquez went 2 for 5. Marco Vargas scored three runs. Jeremy Rodriguez went 1 for 3 with two walks, two runs and a RBI. Daiverson Gutierrez registered a hit in the second inning to extend his hitting streak to six games to start the season.
All nine Mets starters recorded a hit.
Mets starting pitcher Wellington Aracena logged 3.1 innings and allowed five runs (four earned) on four hits.
Irving Cota was credited with the win. He pitched 2.2 innings and gave up his lone hit and run on a solo homer to Engelth Urena
Hunter Hodges pitched 2.0 innings of hitless relief on just 20 pitches.
Tons of info…missed this post time-wise.
ReplyDeleteAracena 101? Dalmatians love this guy. I do too.
Tidwell on cusp of a breakthrough?
Yeah
DeleteSome pain the arsenal started writing again, pushing my posts to the south
Hehe
I like my Wellington Pittsburgh rare... maybe like this guy
DeleteI think we are going to see my guy Blade real soon
ReplyDelete(told ya all bout dis guy)
Amazing that Syracuse, Brooklyn, and St Lucie combined for 35 runs. Binghamton hitting is in the toilet, though.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet there are less than 20 hot bats in the entire chain
DeleteI am going to write about hot bats pet position and put them in my Observations posts
Lindor’s error cost them the game, most likely. Maybe his fingers were numb. Mid to upper 50s for today’s getaway game, thankfully.
