Mets Farm Report: July 19th, 2009

Stars of the Night:
AAA – Chip Ambres
AA – Ruben Tejada
HiA – Kirk Nieuwenhuis
LoA – Wilmer Flores
SSA – Nick Santomauro
Rk1 – Kurt Steinhauer
Rk2 – Charles Hinojosa

AAA – Buffalo Bisons

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Toledo 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 5 10 2 Buffalo 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 3 8 0 Recap | Box | W: Bonine (2-4, 4.67); L: Takahashi (0-2, 1.91); SV: Rainwater (2) HR: TOL: Larish (4).

AA – Binghamton Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Erie 2 0 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 5 10 1 Binghamton 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 5 0 Recap | Box | W: Weber (3-2, 3.57); L: Brown, E (4-11, 5.98) HR: None.

This loss raises Eric Brown’s consecutive lose streak all the way up to 7.  The dude has been straight up awful this year do not know why he is still starting I would much rather have a bag of balls on the mound.  The offense didn’t help him out much with only 5 hits.  Ruben Tejada had the only XBH and Jose Coronado had the only RBI.

HiA – St. Lucie Mets

Cmpl. Early: Rain 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Daytona 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 3 5 1 St. Lucie 0 0 2 0 0 0 X 2 5 0 Recap | Box | W: Leverton (7-8, 4.35); L: Waechter (3-3, 7.11); SV: Pina (1) HR: DAY: Chirinos (11).

St. Lucie got screwed out of a win thanks to the rain ending the game early in just a 1 run game.  Not much to speak of at all except Kirk Nieuwenhuis with a multi hit game and RBI.

LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Hickory 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 2 4 2 Savannah 4 0 7 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 14 0 Recap | Box | W: Allen, K (7-5, 4.08); L: Wieland (2-2, 5.14) HR: HIC: Morrison (15).

The offense jumped on the opposition early and often tallying 11 runs in just 3 innings.  The offense was led in part by a 4-4 performance by Wilmer Flores who by Mike Newman’s account hit the ball “hard and all over the field”, a very encouraging sign from the youngster.  Sean Ratliff drove in 2 runs and Eric Campbell drove in 3.  Kyle Allen was spectacular, but was extremely solid yet again.  09 draft pick John Church is putting up some good stats out of the pen using his somewhat ‘power arsenal’.

SSA – Brooklyn Cyclones

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Auburn 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 Brooklyn 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 X 2 7 0 Recap | Box W: Gorski, D (1-1, 3.52); L: Sever (2-2, 3.41); SV: Powers (5) HR: AUB: Ramirez, W (2). BRK: Santomauro (1).

Great day for 2009 draft picks.  Nick Santomauro went deep for the first time in his minor league career, Robbie Shields was moved up to the 2 spot (like I said to do with him) and it worked going 2-3 with a triple and walk, Darin Gorski picked up his first win with 6 innings of 2 hit ball, and Wesley Wrenn pitched 2 scoreless innings with 2 k’s.

Rk1 – Kingsport Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Kingsport 0 0 3 0 1 5 2 0 2 13 14 2 Greeneville 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 4 10 4 Recap | Box | W: Hilliard (2-1, 2.16); L: Cruz, L (1-2, 5.35) HR: KNG: Harris, A (7), Steinhauer, K 2 (3).

This power that Alonzo Harris has been showing is unreal.  He already has 7 homeruns and is up to 23 RBI’s.  His slugging % is a whopping .581.  He even has 6 steals.  Darrell Ceciliani is really stepping up his game now going 3-5.  Star fo the night is definitely Kurt Steinhauer with 2 homeruns and 4 RBI’s.

Rk2 – GCL Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E GCL Marlins 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 4 6 1 GCL Mets 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 3 7 5 Recap | Box W: Tucker (1-0, 2.25); L: Hodge, L (2-1, 1.52); SV: Topp (2) HR: None.
