New Orleans 2, Iowa 1
Ruddy Lugo continues to pitch well for the Zs, 4 hits, a run and 2 walks over 7 innings, he struck out 6. He's had 2 outstanding starts sandwiched around a bad one, and lowered his season ERA to 2.84. Not much to speak of offensively for the Zs, Ahern and Chris Aguila got the RBI, they were 5 hit by Iowa pitching (unlike last season, when they routinely torched the Iowa pitching staff.)

Binghamton 10, Akron 11
Yeah, they were at it again. Only this time, they couldn't quite pull out a slugfest victory. Binghamton either trailed or was tied the whole game, they never had a lead to work with, through no fault of their offense. However, it may be time to send Nick Evans down, he only had one hit and lowered his average to a paultry .400. 5 players had multiple hits (Murphy, Carp, Manriquez, Petersen, Coronado) - but on the flip side, Fernando went 0 for 6 with the Golden Sombrero. The pitching was abysmal, as Jose Sanchez (4 ip) and Joe Hietpas (2 ip) both gave up 5 earned. Nick Abel, however, gave up the run that ended up being the difference, even though Hietpas took the loss.
Fernando Martinez (cf) 0 for 6, RBI, 4 Ks, .235

St. Lucie 2, Brevard County 6
St. Lucie had an early 2-0 lead, but Kevin Tomasiewicz and Steven Cheney couldn't make it stand for Dylan Owen, who pitched another good 5 innings. You know, this is a guy who almost pitched 200 innings last year between college and Brooklyn, can we let him go 6 and 7 innings? Please? He's gone 5, 6, 5 in his 3 outings this year. If we keep doing this to the pitchers in the minors, then that's what you should expect in the majors. How can anyone learn to pitch deep into games when you have ludicris pitch counts? I know Niese, and probably Owen, are on strict 75 pitch counts. How freakin stupid is that? Anyway, that's a pet peeve of mine, sorry. So yeah, he left up 2-1, and Tomasiewicz blew the lead, then Cheney blew the game.
Offensively, only Luis Rivera had a multi hit game, and Lucas Duda, Hector Pellot and Sean McCraw took 0-fers. McCraw's off to a dismal .156 start, while Pellot's not much better at .217. The RBI went to Carrera and Rivera.
Ezequiel Carrera (dh) 1 for 4, RBI, BB, K, .265
Ruben Tejada (ss) 1 for 4, BB, .245
Lucas Duda (1b) 0 for 3, 2 BBs, 3 Ks, .319
Brahiam Maldonado (cf) 1 for 5, K, .220
Hector Pellot (2b) 0 for 3, 2 BBs, K, .217
Sean McCraw (c) 0 for 3, BB, K, .156
Dylan Owen 5 IP, 3 H, ER, 3 BBs, 3 Ks, 1.69 era
Kevin Tomasiewicz IP, 2 H, ER, K, 7.20 era, BS (1)
Steven Cheney 2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, K, HR, 9 era, L (0-1)

looks like fmart is struggling a bit at AA....is he just off to a slow start or do you think him being so young at this level has something to do with it?
ReplyDeletejust curious; do you know how many other 19 year olds are playing in AA?
I think it's just a slow start. He handled AA pretty well pre-hand injury last year, and he was hitting well in ST this year.
ReplyDeleteOff hand...I think Jose Tabata is 19, as well. Of course there's Justin Upton who's in the majors and destroying it right now, but it's rare to see teenagers in high A, let alone AA.
