MLB - Mets:
Terry Collins
- "When you get
beat like this tonight, it's one of those games you just check off the calendar
and get ready for tomorrow,"
Dave Hudgens being asked what happened to Jason Bay - "There's really no answer,. There is
no answer."
AAA – Buffalo:
Thursday –
Lucas Duda was scratched minutes before the game began. Adam Rubin
reported there was a ‘dental issue’.
Well, I told you, I told you, I told you. 2B Josh Satin got
to .302 tonight. Is there no shame for this kid?
AA-Binghamton:
RHP Greg Peavey (5-7, 5.38)
makes his 21st start of the season and second against the Rock Cats. After
suffering through a nine-game winless streak, Peavey has won two of his last
three starts. He defeated the Reading Phillies in his last game on August 4.
The righty allowed one earned run and struck out four over seven innings in his
second career complete game. Peavey defeated the Rock Cats on July 23 in
Connecticut, allowing an unearned run on three hits over seven innings.
LHP Logan Darnell (8-9, 4.99)
makes his team-leading 23rd start of the season and second versus Binghamton.
The southpaw has lost his last three decisions and failed to throw more than
five innings in each of his last four games. Darnell took the loss in his last
game against the Bowie Baysox on August 1. He allowed five runs on eight hits
and threw just three innings, tied for his shortest outing of the year. In his
last four starts, Darnell has gone 0-3 with a 10.00 ERA and allowed 9.25 hits
per game. Darnell fired seven shutout innings against the B-Mets in a win on
May 22. Darnell was selected in the sixth round of the 2010 draft out of the
University of Kentucky
Thursday – Win, 6-4
SP Greg Peavey threw another
AAAA outing: 6.1-IP, 9-H, 4-ER, 4-K, 1-BB, 105-66, 5.40. That’s mucho pitches
for 6.1… he needs to step it up to secure
a rotation slot in Buffalo next season.
RP Jeff Kaplan has now had
three outings since returning August 4th from the DL and he’s sitting
at: 3.2-IP, 1-ER, 3-K, 1-BB.
My ‘rally-name’ conversion to David
Havens seems to be working…went 4-5 tonight and has gone 6-9 since the
name conversion.
2B Wilmer Flores had three
hits too and the 1-2 leadoff combo of Havens-Flores went 7-9.
A+ - St. Lucie:
SP Jake deGrom was transferred
from Savannah
Thursday – Win, 5-2
SP Tyler Pill was removed
after only two innings. Observers said that he was “all over the place” and his
stats didn’t exactly back up:: 2.0-IP, 3-H, 2-R, 0-K, 1-BB… Jack
Leathersich continues to dominate after a rough first two weeks at A+
ball (2.0-IP, 0-R, 4-K, 0-BB), and Jeffrey Walters followed with two more
scoreless innings (2.14).
C Kai Gronauer was pulled
after one at bat… Blake Forsythe seized the
opportunity and went: 2-4, 1-R, 6th HR, 3-RBI.
DH Travis Taijeron just can’t
get the A+ thing going: .183.
A – Savannah:
SP Yohan Almonte was
transferred from St. Lucie.
Thursday – the game was suspended after one inning when a
real ugly storm rumbled through the ‘Coastal Empire’.
A-Low – Brooklyn:
Dave
Gershman -
Q - Has Brandon
Nimmo been the best player you've seen this year ?
A - Yes sir (see, I told you
this was a great pick…)
Thursday –
Loss, 1-3
Luis Cessa (4.50 for the night) gave up two
homers which were the clincher. Only three Clones hits.
Rookie –
Kingsport:
MiLB.com said that the
Kingsport game had been ‘cancelled’. It didn’t say there was a rainout. It said
‘cancelled’. Do you think there is any chance that they just decided since the
team plays so bad that they’d just award a win to Bristol and get back on the
bus?
