The Daily Mets Minor League Update - July 24th

SNY (@SNYtv) 

Buck Showalter gives an update on Starling Marte: 

"Starling is doing well back in New York, he's had 3 good days there... he's had a lot of challenges this year physically that he hasn't talked about. Starling is a guy that wants to play and wants to be there" 

 

Kevin Kernan (@AMBS_Kernan) 

Mets 6 back in loss column and have to jump over 4 teams. 

 

Mike Mayer (@mikemayer22) 

Trevor Gott has allowed 6 earned runs in just 1 2/3 innings spanning his last 4 games.

 

John Harper (@NYNJHarper) 

Mets really had to eat $4 million on Chris Flexen's contract just so they could acquire this Trevor Gott? So far he's making Mychal Givens look like a steal at last year's trade deadline.

  

Mets Histoy -

 

MetsRewind (@metsrewind) 

July 23, 1999: The Mets acquired Kenny Rogers from the Athletics for outfielder Terrence Long. He was 5-1 in 12 starts over the last two months, but he is notorious for walking home the winning run in Game 6 of the NLCS vs. Braves 

 

Trade Stuff -

 

MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) 

The Dodgers are reportedly interested in trading for a veteran right-handed bat like Boston's Kiké Hernández or the Mets' Mark Canha and Tommy Pham.

 

Baseball In General:

 

This Day In Baseball - 

Birthday call out goes to Harold Henry Reese, better known as Pee Wee Reese born July 23, 1918 in Ekron, KY 

Against all odds, Pee Wee Reese earned an opportunity to play professional baseball, start for the Dodgers, play in several World Series, and be enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1984. He did the little things that helped his teams win:

Bunt the runner over. 

Go from first to third on a base hit. 

Range into the hole for a grounder. 

He was the best shortstop in the National League in the late 1940s and into the 1950s. 

 Pee Wee Reese got his nickname as a young champion marble shooter; a “pee wee” is a type of marble. A Kentucky native, he earned the monicker The Little Colonel as the star shortstop on the Louisville Colonels (American Association). After he arrived in Brooklyn, he was named captain of the Dodgers, and many called him The Captain. The title was well earned, as he led Dodger teams that won seven pennants in the 1940s and 1950s. When Jackie Robinson arrived in Brooklyn amid enormous pressures and player resentment, Reese set the example of acceptance, putting his arm around Robinson’s shoulder on the field, showing the world he was Robinson’s teammate and friend.

Bob Gibson could do it all: 

He pitched in 9 World Series games and recorded 81 innings with a 1.89 ERA. 

He also posted a 16 AB/HR in the WS; similar to David Ortiz and Nelson Cruz' career lines

Paul Articulates – A systematic problem

There is something fundamentally wrong in the New York Mets organization.  This isn’t just about a sub-par 2023 or a prolonged losing streak in June.  This isn’t just whining because the highest paid team in MLB can’t play better than .500 ball this year.  This is an observation that even in an entirely unpredictable game like baseball, when things can go worse than expected; that things are going much worse than they should much more often than they should.  Let me explain.

The 2021 season was somewhat disappointing as the team faded in the last three months after a promising start.  They went 21-37 in the months of August, September, and October.  The team finished in the bottom third of MLB in batting and had several players perform well below their career norms.  Francisco Lindor batted .230; Michael Conforto batted .232; James McCann batted .232.

The 2022 season went so well that we forgot about early 2021.  The team played with confidence, finding ways to win series after series by getting clutch hits and timely pitching performances.  Enthusiasm amongst the fan base reached a crescendo in August as they held the division lead and were hurtling towards a showdown with the hot Braves.  Unfortunately they stumbled into that series as their bats cooled off and Marte got hurt in the preceding weeks.  We all know how it worked out, and the wildcard series against the Giants just brought more of the same disappointment.

But do you remember that during that 2022 season Eduardo Escobar, JD Davis, Darrin Ruf, James McCann and others all had enormous performance drops for sustained months?  Escobar did not look like himself at the plate until August rolled around.  

The 2023 season as you know has been an extreme disappointment.  Forget about wins and losses for a moment – the number of prolonged slumps and pitching collapses on this team is unprecedented.  These are not (for the most part) injury induced – they are failures of big league hitters with demonstrated past success to perform for months; failures of pitchers to execute pitches they have excelled at for years; failures of a really good defensive team to keep their wits about them and make plays.  

There is a much deeper root cause in play that is making several talented players look much worse than they are.   How else would you explain:

• Pete Alonso in such a prolonged slump that his batting average drops to .205 – this has never happened in his career even though he has seen brief slumps.

• Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer who own six Cy Young awards between them (3 each) have both been through odd stretches of poor starts followed by a good one or two and then immediate regression.  In their post-game interviews they don’t make excuses, just say they have to be better.  They ARE better – how can they lose their control so often?

• Jeff McNeil, noted as an outstanding bat-to-ball hitter suffers through six weeks of poor contact.

• Starling Marte looking very confused in many at-bats since the beginning of this year.

I suspect that there is something going on in the approach to coaching these players – the mix of information and guidance that is continuously provided before and after games.  To me this is the only plausible explanation for the plethora of issues plaguing a roster full of very good baseball players.  To succeed in MLB, you need a combination of talent, training, confidence, and experience.  

These players we are talking about have demonstrated their talent and experience.  Six Cy Youngs, a batting championship, a HR crown, and multiple all-star selections are exhibit A in the evidence pool.  So it comes down to training and confidence.

There was an acknowledgement in the off-season after the 2021 failure that the analytics team was dumping too much information on the hitters too close to game time.  Eric Chavez was brought in as hitting coach for the 2022 season and righted the ship by providing an intermediary between the two.  So is this another run-away analytics train?  

Can it be that this year’s coaches can’t deal with the information and translate it to the players effectively as Chavez did?  I believe that is the case.  I think the players are confused but won’t admit it during the season.  The installment of a powerful analytics capability and state-of-the-art training equipment was a great long-term investment but the learning curve has been too steep for both the players and the coaches.  How else do you explain the widespread mental collapse that has defined this season?

This team needs the powerful analytics capability and state-of-the-art training equipment so it should remain.  But this team also needs people that understand how to utilize it, teach the players to utilize it, and simplify the game for those using it.  There is no other way to compete with teams like the Astros and the Braves who have learned how to use it.  

I would expect a pretty significant change in the coaching ranks at the end of this season.  Mid-season is too soon because it would just magnify the confusion and it will be tough to pry loose the experts that we really need before the season is over.

Reese Kaplan -- Three Wheels Have Come Off Already...

When it rains, it pours.

At a time when the Mets are still on the precipice of deciding if instead of their usual do-nothing approach to things, they were going to make the decision if they were going to be buyers or sellers with the trading deadline a week away.  I won't rehash the same arguments both ways, either of which could be a completely valid approach.

Then the injuries came...

First the club lost Starling Marte due to what has been termed an inability to deal with nausea as an accompanying symptom to his migraine issue which rendered him unable to play for a few days prior to hitting the IL.  

Next, Tommy Pham who should have been the easiest of any of the prospective trades to make instead went down with groin pain which has left him technically on the active roster but also sitting on the bench after he'd made himself into a productive hitter.  

Then on Sunday reserve infielder Luis Guillorme limped awkwardly off the field after aggravating his calf muscle and he was promptly added to the IL as it is not going to be an overnight healing process.

In the place of Starling Marte the Mets brought up (and even once started) Mark Vientos at...wait for it...Designated Hitter.  Guess what?  He hit.

For Guillorme the Mets are taking their second look at Danny Mendick.  Now no one is really going to give them major grief about seeing a 29 year old AAAA player with no speed and limited power while hitting .248, fans were instead looking to see the club make shortstop-turned-second baseman Ronny Mauricio the recipient of a brief look against major league pitching.  You remember Mauricio, right?  The guy with 16 HRs, the last being the 9th inning game winner?  Nah, the club doesn't need his talent on the major league roster at all.

So if you are GM Billy Eppler what do you now do with the trade deadline rapidly approaching?  

The first order of business would be to order up eye of newt and pixie dust or whatever it takes to heal Tommy Pham enough to make two more starts before August 1st.  If that indeed happens then his reconstituted butt will be on a jet plane to an opposing team's next ballpark right away.  

Without Marte around, the Mets are indeed thin on outfielders.  Many felt Mark Canha would be quickly out of town as well, but that would now just leave Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil as competent outfielders if you acknowledge the likelihood of Pham's departure.  Consequently the Marte injury might have breathed Mets life into Mark Canha.

Now with the infield question settled by Mr .Mendick, it would appear that Mauricio's only hope for a major league debut would be during the limited roster expansion come September.  It also means that the somewhat unlikely trade of Luis Guilorme is now off the table as it is highly unlikely to make trades with folks who aren't on the active roster.

As a GM, what would you do?  Do you curtail the sell-all tendencies?  Do you try to shuffle the deck chairs on the Mets Titanic to keep things as they are?  Although Marte was slumping all year long and Luis Guillorme is not going to make anyone forget major league regulars any day soon, the fact is that the Mets' already woefully thin prospect of mounting an eleventh hour and equally unlikely climb out of the cellar to reach post season baseball is now all but gone.  

Yes, it's good to see Mark Vientos back (if he actually gets to play).  It would have been nice to see Ronny Mauricio.  Still, if 2023 is indeed over, why keep running the same script night after night expecting things to change?  It's time to put red flashing lights around the "Open for Business" sign on the front door.

The most ridiculous team names in minor league baseball  

Binghamton Rumble Ponies 

The Mets’ Double-A affiliates used to be called the Binghamton Mets, which was unbelievably dull. They switched names in 2017 and settled on Rumble Ponies after fans voted on submitted names. It’s supposed to be after a carousel ride because apparently Binghamton is the “Carousel Capital of the World.” That’s a thing that exists. 

 

Matt Levine (@MattLevine__) 

Mets infield prospect Branden Fryman extended his hitting streak to four games last night. 

Since June 20, @BFryman is hitting .329 with five doubles and two triples for the Rumble Ponies. 

He has a .442 BAbip with an .813 OPS over that 19 game stretch 

 

Mike Mayer (@mikemayer22) 

Mets pitching prospect Tyler Stuart tossed 7 innings of two-run ball in his second Double-A start yesterday. 

He’s allowed no more than 2 runs in all of his 16 starts this year (1.62 ERA). 

 

Postgame Notes:

 

Joe Suozzi played in his first game since June 23 at Akron…

 

Jose Mena doubled to extend his hitting streak to a season-high four games…

 

Branden Fryman walked to extend his on-base streak to five games.

Not sure if it's considered a bold prediction or not but I'm predicting Mets C prospect Kevin Parada sees AA in the next 2 weeks or so. Glove concerns understandable but bat seems ready, around Mets circles they are excited about his progress. Pre/post deadline seems right time.

Tom Brennan - There’s Thunder Down Under; Paul Simon; Vientos; Vasil

Some thunder, some blunder, down under. 

There is some thunderous scoring in the 50 team DSL.

Of course, 50 teams mean some organizations have 2 teams (as do the Mets) while others have just one.

Two teams with one squad each (the Rockies and Nats) are scoring at decidedly different rates. The Nats have just 88 runs in 32 games, while the Rockies in 32 games have scored a monstrous 283 runs, or just under 9 per game.

The Mets’ two teams are scoring a very middle-of-the-pack 172 runs and 170 runs, each about 5.2 runs per game. (18 teams have scored between 160 and 180 runs, a tight cluster).

Naturally, the Dodgers’ 2 teams are rolling in runs with 255 and 252, an average of 8 runs over their 64 combined games, and the Yanks’ 2 teams total 457 runs in 63 games, or 7.3 runs per game. Those two franchises know how to generate run production, seemingly forever.

Oddly, there are five hitters at or above .400 in the league so far, and 4 are catchers. None are Mets.

The Mets’ top 3 hitters are 51st (catcher Julio Zayas, .319), and 54th (SS Branny de Oleo, .317), and 55th OF Jostyn Almonte (.316). 

Jefry Rosa The boomer, and is 2nd in HRs (8), and 4th in slug % (.658), despite relatively low at bats so far (76).

A glance soon from moi meme at the pitching side of the fence in the wild, wooly DSL.

RAIN DELUGE IN BOSTON

Game suspended, with Mets up 4-3 in the 4th. Then they win a close game completion, but Max Scherzer loses the nightcap, allowing 4 HRs and upping his HRs allowed to 22 in 100 innings in 2023. His 4.20 ERA is 2 runs higher than 2022.

Mad Max has become Mediocre Max.

Somewhere, Edwin is rehabbing.

Last night, and all of 2023, makes me think of these lyrics:

Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away

But Mark Vientos? 

3 for 6 in his first 2 games back. BUILD ON IT. PLAY HIM.

Actually, he is now 9 for his last 36 MLB ABs, and has hit the ball hard in his Mets ABs this year.

Remember: 37 XBH in 228 AAA ABs, .307, 50 RBIs in 60 games.

Play him.

SHAKY MIKE VASIL: 

In early May in AA, we were loving the performances: in a 3 start stretch, 21 innings, just 8 hits and 1 run allowed. ERA of 2.19.

“How long until he joins the Mets?”

Since then, however, in 37 innings in AA and AAA, 44 hits allowed, including a whopping 10 HRs, and 30 runs. Two solid outings in that stretch, spanning 9 innings and 2 runs. In the other several, 28 innings, 28 runs.

Now not feeling at all comfortable that he will be ready to pitch for the Mets next April. 

Could the recent results just be growing pains…or is it more?
