WOW! Eric Niesen gets victimized by the Mad Bum show in every which way.  Not only did Mad Bum outduel him on the mound with 7 great innings of ball, but he also took him deep for part of a 5 run 5th inning hitting his first career homerun and grand slam.  Ruben Tejada was the only one to get to Mad Bum with a solo homerun. Ike Davis gathered a hit off the tough lefty which is an encouraging sign.

Another nice game since returning from the DL for Reese Havens.  Havens had the only multi hit game including his 9th homerun of the year in just 204 at-bats.  Bad night on the basepaths with Brahiam Maldonado and Kirk Nieuwenhuis getting caught stealing.  Decent night pitching for Scott Shaw just a tad too many walks, but solid night overall.

Great night for Chris Schwinden.  By far Schwinden’s best night with the K’s striking out 10 Power on hte night and yeilding no walks and only 5 hits.  The rest of the pitchers outside of Tim Smith were spotless.  Kai Gronauer was the offensive star with a homerun and 3 RBIs.  Wilmer Flores also pitched in an RBI.

Much better job for the offense with just Robbie Shields (0-4, K) and Justin Garber (0-0 3BB RBI, 2 R) were the only batters who did not record a hit, but has you can see Garber had a nice game nontheless.

Dylan Owen had been on a string of 3 great starts before getting absolutely torched tonight.  The unthinkable happened as Ike Davis got a hit off of a lefty! Lucas Duda (3-4) and Caleb Stewart (2-5) had the only extra base hits.

Jeff Kaplan pumping out the strikeouts today recording 9k’s in only 6 innings of work by far his best since being moved up to St. Lucie.  Stefan Welch has continued to rake with 2 more doubles and is now batting .474 in 38 HiA at-bats. Yes, small sample size yet encouraging.  He does have 6 xbh in just 9 games.

Weird, but good outing for Chris Schwinden who was very hittable giving up more hits than inning pitched, but was still able to last 8 innings and give up only 2 runs.  The offense was held down by Dexter Carter, the minor league leader in K’s, to just 3 hits and had 4 hits total.  Jefry Marte had the only xbh, but oh yeah committed his 34th eror.

One of the oddest lines ever. 10 runs but only 1 earned. Go figure.

Eric Niesen got lit up yet again in a AA start.  I keep saying should have left him in HiA to give him some trade value we could have used right now with the trade deadline approaching.  He has kept a good K rate, but the amount of homeruns has gone up now that he is not in the pticher friendly FSL anymore.

The long ball was absolutely working with homeruns from both Sean Ratliff (9) and Eric Campbell (5).  Campbell had three more hits on the night going 4-4 with  2 RBI’s.  Chris Schwinden is continuing to be a pleasent surprise after dominating the NYPL. 7 more innings of 1 run ball for the righty.

Brandon Moore who has been stupid good this season put up a complete game shutout in the 1st half of the double header.  He now has a crazy 2:24 BB:K on the season.  I was hoping to see him pitch this weekend, but now it looks like I will get Collin McHugh or Mark Cohoon.

Jim Fuller pitched fairly well pitching into the 7th inning striking out 7 walking only 1, but giving up 3 earned runs, his first earned runs of the year.  Nick Santomauro drove in runs in both games of the double header.

Alonzo Harris is showing great power for a 20-year-old second baseman.  The small righty slugged his 3rd homerun in just the 16th game of the season.  Ryan Mollica of the 2009 draft calss put up a noteworthy performance of 3-3 with a double and 3 RBI’s.  Poor pitching with the only good perfomance from Travis Babin.
