BASERUNNING
CS: Ratliff (1, 2nd base by Kehrt/Exposito).

FIELDING
E: Malo (3, throw).

Another quality start from Josh Stinson.  Long term I still see him as a bullpen arm, but no harm in letting him start.  Kirk Nieuwenhuis has returned from his injury on FIRE.  He picked the perfect time with the trade deadline looming.  Are you seeing these box score Mariners?  And I still wanna know who Raul Reyes thinks he his with an .850 SLG%.  It is only 11 games, but still he has never posted numbers anywhere near that.

FIELDING
Outfield assists: Lagares (Goncalves at home).
DP: 2 (Flores, W-Valdespin-Welch, S, Lagares-Gronauer).

Wooohooo! Finally Wilmer Flores got an extra base hit and hit it far for his a solo homer.  Now his .ISO no longer sits at .000.  Pretty decent start for Jeurys Familia.  A lot of walks, but he kept the hits own and struck out a lot.  It looks like Angel Calero is back from his PED suspension.

FIELDING

DP: (Tovar, W-Harris, A-Ozga).

It is the same old same old with the Sand Gnats offense.  They just can’t score any more runs now that Flores and Lagares aren’t in the middle of the line up.  Jefry Marte has been just AWFUL since the promotions.  The exact opposite of what he needed to be for this team to go anywhere.  Any positives from this game? Probably none, but maybe Wilfredo Tovar.

SSA – Brooklyn Cyclones

The only thing I have to say is. How the hell does Jeff Flagg have more stolen bases than Darrell Ceciliani. And brilliant outing from Ryan Fraser who is looking really good so far with his power stuff.

RK – Kingsport Mets

Boy can this Mets team hit.  Over 20 hits yesterday and they come back with 14 hits today.  What got them was terrible pitching and their hitting with runners in scoring position.  I love what Javier Rodriguez is doing.  He is putting up great splits and seems to show some untapped offensive power to go along with his plus defense.  Keep an eye on him moving forawrd.

…As you can see I am going to be trying to fix the way I do these reports.  I need to fix the css so that the tables look better which I will hopefully be able to finish doing by tomorrow…

Dilllon Gee pitched a stellar game today it is to bad he couldn’t have pitched this well all season because then we could have tried to swing him in a Lee trade. Boy has Lucas Duda been raking since being promoted to AAA.

AA – Binghamton Mets

The same old story continued today with Eric Niesen.  He got decent results, but continued to struggle with his command.  If he doesn’t start attacking hitters soon with his plus stuff then he is never going to be able to make it further in his development and become a starter in the bigs.  Emary Frederick did a great job coming in and stranding two of Eddie Kunz’s inherited runners.  In the third inning the BMets got a coupe of bloops followed by a walk which allowed Raul Reyes to come up and strike again, this time with a grand salami.  This is the second straight game Sean Ratliff has taken a walk with no strikeouts.

HiA – St. Lucie Mets

Mets pitching gave up 3 runs on just 6 hits thanks to an incredible 8 walks! They did strike out 7 batters, but just wow 8 walks.  It was a bitter sweet start for Brad Holt who only gave up 1 run and 2 hits while striking out 5 in 5 inning, however, is control was still an issue also delivering 5 walks.  Something tells me the success was more due to the level of competition than Holt actually getting things straightened out.  Nothing looked noticeably different in the videos from last year to this year so it is really odd how big of a 180 he has undergone.  It is amazing that the offense had 15 hits yet just 1 went for extra bases (double from Richard Lucas).  Wilmer Flores was at it again today with 3 more hits and now has 13 hits in just 6 games for St. Lucie.  Because it was a day game Carlos Beltran DHed and picked up a hit now reaching base in every rehab game so far.  He will play center field tomorrow.

John Church was reportedly hitting 93-94 mph tonight on the gun which would be a tick above previous velocity reports.  Church had put up good numbers the last couple of years so if the velocity sticks he could make some noise as a legitimate prospect.  Nick Santomauro continued the climb back up to .200 with another hit today.  You know you are in the low minors when a game has 7 errors in it.  Alonzo Harris had the biggest blow of the night hitting a 3-run jack in the sixth inning.

SSA – Brooklyn Cyclones

How can you not love what Cory Vaughn is doing right now?  He now has 3 home runs in his last 3 games and has hit 4 more home runs in Brooklyn than Ike Davis.  Not only that, but his biggest flaw was supposed to be plate discipline and he is currently rocking a 7:5 K:BB. It is a small sample size, but a very encouraging one.

RK – Kingsport Mets

I still think it was a terrible draft pick, but hey at least Javier Rodriguez is actually doing something now.

Jenrry Mejia was on a 50-pitch pitch count so when he hit 45 pitches through 2.1 innings he was pulled. Expect the Mets to be very cautious with stretching his arm out.

Rough start for Brad Holt who gave up 9 hits and 4 home runs.  Even though he walked none reports were that his command wasn’t great and he did have a high pitch count.  Good night for the offense with Emmanuel Garcia, Ike Davis, Josh Thole, and Jose Coronado had multi hit games.  Lucas Duda hit his 7th homerun and if he  squeeze in 6 more before the end of the season he could go from terrible power to slightly below average and raise his prospect status.

Decently encouraging stuff from Scott Moviel as he gave up only 4 hits and was able to keep the ball on the ground getting 6 groundball outs.  Reese Havens continues to hit since his return from the DL and if he gets his averagte up to .275ish with the power he is showing he becomes a B prospect.  A nice note is that Josh Stinson got all his outs via the K.

Eric Beaulac was cruising along through 3 innings before imploding in the 4th inning giving up 4 runs in the inning after facing 6 batters and getting no outs.  Phillips Orta came in to bail him out and wound up picking up the win.  Jean Luc Blaquiere had the best offensive night putting up two doubles to go along with and RBI.
