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.
LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats
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.

Dillon Gee had good control tonight, but absolutely no command of his pitches. He didn’t walk anybody yet still gave up 7 runs in just 3 innings on 9 hits. He wasn’t getting hit hard, but the other team was just peppering hits all over the field.
AA – Binghamton Mets
Eric Niesen had arguably his best start of the season today. Now outside of 1 bad start in June he has gone 18.1 innings over 3 starts pitching to an 0.49 ERA. Over that time he has given up 11 hits and 6 walks while striking out 14. A pretty impressive month for Niesen after missing most of May with a concussion. All the BMets offense came in the 7th innings. After the first four batters reached base a pitching changed was made to face Brahiam Maldonado. It turned out to be a bad move as Maldonado hit a grand small to put the game out of reach.
HiA – St. Lucie Mets
Errors opened the doors in the early part of this game. In the first inning with a man on first the Mets made 2 errors on one play allowing the batter to reach first base and the other man to advance to third base safely. Kyle Allen appeared to get flustered throwing a wild pitch to the very next batter and then again two batters later. The inning ended with 2 runs scoring. Allen got in trouble again in the next inning thanks to a Richard Lucas error to lead off the inning. Again it seemed to get to Allen who hit the next batter before giving up a 3-run homer. He settled in after that even striking out the side in his final inning of work. The rehabbing Carlos Beltran went 0-for-2 with a walk.
LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats
The new Sand Gnats roster didn’t fair well against top pitching prospect Tyler Matzek. Matzek no-hit the Gnats, but had to be taking out early as he ran into a high pitch count with control problems and after walking the bases loaded in the 6th. Armando Rodriguez was pitching a great game, but in the 5th with runners on first and second and no outs the batter tried to lay down a suicide bunt, however, Doc Doyle made a bad throw to first that allowed all the runners to advance and the Tourists to take the lead.
SSA – Brooklyn Cyclones
Rylan Sandoval, who actually looks smaller than his listed 5’10, had himself a nice day collecting 2 extra base hits and 3 RBI’s. The offense was connecting on all cylinders tonight as every starter except Kurt Steinhauer reached base at least 2 times.

Dillon Gee pitched a great game, but unfortunately for him his bullpen was not up to task tonight. Roy Merritt got his first real taste of AAA giving up 6 runs on 4 hits (all doubles!) and a walk in just .1 innings.
AA – Binghamton Mets
I can guarantee you this. If Clint Evertswas not a former 1st round pick he would not be on this roster right now. He has nothing going for him other than he pedigree. Even though Josh Satin and Luis Hernandez might be the heroes of this game it was the Eric Campbell show. He continued his season long hot streak by going 4-for-5 with 2 home runs, 3 runs scored, and 4 RBI’s. He is having a great season and is making himself a ‘prospect’.
HiA – St. Lucie Mets
Kyle Allen was pitching a great game through 4 innings, actually holding a no-hitter, and then things began to fall apart in the 5th. He gave up 2 runs in the inning on 4 hits, but things would have been much worse had Jean Luc Blaquiere not picked the leadoff runner off 1st base. Things got worse for Allen in the 7th when after already giving up 2 runs he left with runners on 1st and 3rd for Stephen Clyne who game up a double and an inherited runner before getting out of the inning. Jordany Valdespin continues to serve as the linchpin of the offense with 2 more RBI’s today.
LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats
Brandon Moore carried a no-hitter all the way into the 8th inning when he gave up a lead off single and then things began to crumble as the inning would end in a 4-4 tie thanks to Erik Turgeon coming in and allowing the runner on 3rd base to score on a wild pitch.
SSA – Brooklyn Cyclones
Yesterday it was clear the Darrell Ceciliani was the best player on the field and he showed that again tonight, but what I want to know is how the huge Jeff Flagg stole a base.

LoA – OFF
AAA – Buffalo Bisons
The Bisons were able to scatter 7 hits off Hell Boy, but not much else as he was able to strike out 8 batters in just 4.2 innings. Tobi Stoner on the other hand was even worse. He allowed nearly 3 base runners per inning and wound up giving up 5 runs in 5 innings. Bobby Parnell labored with his control today. He threw 45 pitches in just 2 innings giving up 1 unearned run thanks to a passed ball. Manny Garcia and Marshall Hubbard were the only players without a hit.
AA – Binghamton Mets
HiA – St. Lucie Mets
The rehabbing Fernando Martinez collected another 2 hits in his 3rd game back. Jordany Valdespin did a great job setting the table at the top of the order. He got himself into scoring position twice and scored both times. The 2 hits with him on were the teams only 2 hits with runners in scoring position. Scott Moviel finally had a start were he didn’t go crazy on the walks, but got hit hard giving up 8 hits and 2 home runs. This is a very disappointing season from the young righty after a decent season coming back from injury last year.

AAA – J.R. House
AA – Reese Havens

AAA – Buffalo Bisons
Another slugfest for the Bisons. Everyone except Mike Hessman and Mike Cervenak had hits today. J.R. House had the biggest night of anyone with three RBI’s and two extra base hits including a homerun.
AA – Binghamton Mets
The BMets got into an early hole and we’re able to come back from the 3-run deficit thanks to another Reese Havens home run this time in the three-run variety. The man is on fire right now and if he continues on this torrid pace earn a call up come September. His emergence since returning from the injury just makes me want to pass on Zack Cox more and more. They gave up two more runs later in the game, but were not able to fight back a second time.
HiA – St. Lucie Mets
Strong performance from Eric Beaulac. He was dominant allowing just two base runners and striking out six batters over six innings. Joey August has been showing some decent skills lately with four 2-hit games in the teams last six games.
LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats
Great performance by Collin McHugh. He gave up two runs in the very first innings, but only one was earned thanks to another error by Jefry Marte. McHugh finished the game off by retiring 13 straight batters. Pretty strong performance from the top of the order getting on base but going 1-for-12 with RISP just doesn’t cut it.
