The pitching was poor today with bad performances from Chris Schwinden and Roy Merritt.  Only because of the perfect extended outing from Edgar Ramirez was the game even close.  Clint Everts, who was released by the Mets earlier this year, gave up a home run to Michael Fisher who has now gone  deep for back to back days.  After sitting out for two games Sean Ratliff was back in the line up today and hit a solo home run in the eighth inning to tie the game up before it was blown in the ninth. Another great game from Kirk Nieuwenhuis.

Kyle Allen might wanna take Rafael Fernandez out to dinner tonight.  Allen pitched an extremely poor game tonight getting smacked around, but Fernandez got him the W by going yard twice and giving him a lead before leaving the game and handing the ball off to Ryota Igarashi who was fantastic.

Mark Cohoon, who has dominated the SAL and whom I talked about before, has been promoted.  Instead of going to HiA St. Lucie the Mets decided to promote him straight to Double-A Binghamton.  I think this is a good call by the Mets.  He is an older, smarter pitcher who probably would have dominated the Florida State League just as he dominated the South Atlantic League so why not give him the biggest challenge for a minor leaguer which is the move to AA.

There was a plethora of other moves made to go along with this  including top prospect Wilmer Flores getting the bump from LoA Savannah to HiA St. Lucie.  There were 6 other Sand Gnats who became St. Lucie Mets today; Juan Lagares, Brandon Moore, Rafael Fernandez, Kai Gronauer, Erik Turgeron, and Michael Fisher.

To make room for all these players a lot of players had to be shifted around:

  • Wilfredo Tovar was transferred from the St. Lucie roster to the Savannah roster.
  • Brandon Sage was activated and placed in Savannah roster.
  • Juan Torres was transferred from the St. Lucie roster to the Savannah roster.
  • R.J. Harris was transferred from the Brooklyn roster to the Savannah roster.
  • Ryan Mollica was transferred from the St. Lucie roster to the Savannah roster.
  • Gabriel Zavalawas added to the Savannah roster.
  • Travis Ozga was transferred from the Kingsport roster to the Savannah roster.
  • Marcos Tabata was transferred from the St. Lucie roster to the Savannah roster.

Stars of the Night:
AAA – Fernando Martinez (2-for-4, HR, RBI, R)
AA – Kirk Nieuwenhuis (0-for-2, BB, K, SB)
HiA – Josh Satin (3-for-5, HR, 3 RBI’s, R, K)
LoA - Rafael Fernandez (3-for-5, HR, RBI, 2 R, SB, K)

AAA – Buffalo Bisons

AA – Binghamton Mets

HiA – St. Lucie Mets (FSL All-Star Game)

Josh Satin deserves the MVP of the game going 3-for-5 with a home run and 3 RBI’s.  Sean Ratliff was 1-for-4 and Stefan Welch was 0-for-2.

I’d say this is a positive outing from Eddie Kunz. He seemed to gas out a bit out the end and his command was eh, but he made up for it with terrific ground ball numbers thanks to his sinker and new change up.

Darin Gorski should be in the starting rotation. He is a relatively high pick with decent stuff. If Michael Antonini is still viewed as a starter I don’t see how Gorski isn’t.
