7/13 Minor League Report! CECILIANI, Dotson!

Hey there...just giving D the night off. I'll be back for the remainder of the season on the 27th :)

A- New York Penn League: Brooklyn 12/9/0, Lowell 9/14/4

The Cyclones built an early 5-2 lead (after 3 1/2) only to watch Mitch Houck implode in the bottom half, giving up 5 runs without escaping the inning (6 total scored in the frame). The teams traded runs in the 5th, before Brooklyn came back from 9-6 down with 1 in the 6th and 2 in the 7th to tie (Cory Vaughn HR), then 3 in the 9th to win. Houck gave up 7 runs total on 6 hits in 3.2 innings, but Wes Wrenn did great in long relief, allowing just a run on 7 hits in 4 innings for his 2nd win.

7/6 Minor League Report. Duda, Nieuwenhuis, Ratliff, Wilmer!

I tried out doing screen shots of the box score to see how it looks, copy pasting them will not work anymore. Some people liked being able to come here and view all the box scores in one place, so it is convenient but I also understand it doesn't provide anything outside of it, so I'll write a few paragraphs.
Let me know which you prefer. Or I can just do what Tej does, just let me know in the chat box or comments.

Buffalo lost a close game @ Syracuse 5-4. Lucas Duda continues to rake, collecting 3 more hits, 1 being a double (6) and adding 2 RBI. He is now hitting .319 on the season in Buffalo. Lujan came in with a 1 run lead in the 6th and promptly blew it, giving up 3 hits, and 2 earned runs in 1 inning of work. He also struck out 2. Manuel Alvarez, who has been pitching lights out this season, made his AAA debut and threw 2 shutout innings, giving up 1 hit, walking 1, and striking out 1.

Binghamton's offense continues to be a force, winning @ Altoona 11-6. Leading the 17 hit attack for Binghamton was a RED HOT Kirk Nieuwenhuis, going a perfect 4 for 4, with 1 double (24), 3 RBI, and 3 runs scored. His batting average on the season is up to .296, and he looks to be on one of those patented hot streaks we saw from him last season. Right behind him were Sean Ratliff and Nick Evans. Ratliff went 3 for 6, hitting 1 HR (7) and 4 RBI, raising his average to .315 in Binghamton on the season. Evans went 1 for 3, with the 1 hit being a solo HR (14). 2nd baseman Josh Satin added 3 hits of his own, and is now hitting .317 since being promoted. Mark Cohoon making his 3rd start in AA pitched 4 innings of 3 hit ball, giving up 2 ER, walking 2 and striking out 2. His era through 3 starts is 4.91.

St. Lucie took an early lead and held on to win at home 8-5 over Charlotte. The top story of the night in St. Lucie could be the performances of 2 major league players on rehab in Beltran and Perez, but the Wilmer Flores show headlines once again. Flores continues to rake High A pitching (maybe he actually was getting bored in Savannah?), going 4 for 5 with a double (1), scoring 2 runs and adding 2 more RBI. He is now hitting .431 in St. Lucie. Carlos Beltran played all 9 innings in the outfield and went 2 for 4, hitting a double of his own and walking once. Beltran should be close to being ready, and he should be a nice boost to the big league team for the 2nd half if he can stay healthy. Stefan Welch hit his 22nd double of the year, walked once but also struck out 3 times.
Oliver Perez made his 2nd rehab outing in St. Lucie, and was very effective. He pitched 5.2 innings, striking out 7, walking 3, and giving up 2 ER on just 2 hits. Much better outing than the first one, but I'm not exactly holding my breath that he will do much to help the big league team the rest of the way, anything positive he gives us is gravy at this point. Rhiner Cruz got his 3rd save.

Savannah gave up 5 runs in the 8th, blowing a 4 run lead and lost to Rome 7-6 at home. Caesar Puello went 1 for 4, and stole his 25th base of the season. Jefry Marte went 2 for 4 with a walk and an RBI, raising his average to .232 on the season. Nick Santomauro continues to struggle in Savannah, going 0 for 5 and striking out twice, lowering his average to a paltry .164 leading me to believe something may be wrong with him, physically or mentally. Colin McHugh had a very solid outing, going 6 innings he gave up 5 hits, 2 ER, walked 1 and struck out 9. His ERA is now 3.45 on the season.

Brooklyn's late rally came up short as they fell to Jamestown 7-5. Darrell Cecilliani hit his 7th double of the season, and is hitting .373. Might be time to swap him with Santomauro at some point. Cory Vaughn went 1 for 4, striking out twice and stealing his 4th base on the season.

Edit: D forgot Kport, lol (not really sure how he did that, since I post links on the blog for JUST that reason...lol)

The Mets had a 4 run 7th to ice the game, and Bret Mitchell was good again, for his 2nd win of the season. Justin Schafer, Aderlin Rodriguez, Albert Cordero and Nelfi Zapata had multi hit games, while ZeErika McQueen, Javier Rodriguez and Ray Van Gurp took 0-fers.

Michael Antonini had a QS today, but Scott Shaw put the game out of reach by giving up 3 runs on 5 hits in 1.2 innings. The Mets offense was held to just a run on 7 hits and a 2/6 BB/K, while going just 1 for 4 with RISP and leaving 5 on base.

Brad Holt got ripped again today, giving up 4 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks in 5 inings for his 2nd FSL loss. Kyle Allen again piggybacked and on the surface, wasn't good, but he had a 2:1 strike to ball ratio, and generated all his outs on the ground or via K. The Mets went 2 for 3 with RISP and left 1 on base, while tallying 6 hits and a 2/9 BB/K ratio. Carlos Beltran had the lone multi hit game, while Jordany Valdespin, Juan Lagares, Stefan Welch and Michael Barrett (0 for 3, K, .000) took 0-fers.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis may just be getting into one of his patented idiotic hot streaks, after 4 XBH yesterday, he had 3 more hits today, including 2 more doubles, leading the Mets to a 14 hit, 10 run attack and a 10-8 victory. The Mets also had 2 walks, while striking out 4 times, and were 7 for 17 (.412) with RISP and left 8 on base. Nieuwenhuis, Sean Ratliff and Mike Nickeas had 3 hit games, while Raul Reyes had another multi hit game, his 6th in 12 games with Binghamton. Nick Evans and Jon Malo (0 for 4, run, RBI, .222) took 0-fers.

Roy Merritt got the win with 1.2 scoreless innings in relief, after Eric Niesen and Eddie Kunz got torched for 8 runs between them, 4 each. Niesen in 1.2 innings, and Kunz in 3.2 innings. Come Rule V time, the Mets should consider DFAing Eddie Kunz, he's a BUST of a prospect, so much for the quick moving reliever idea in 2007 (haha).

A+ Florida State League: St. Lucie

The game was suspended in the top of the 8th with Charlotte ahead 6-0. Robert Carson was awesome again, giving up 3 runs (2 earned) on 7 hits in 7 innings, but unless the Met rally, he'll get tagged with his 5th loss of the season. He threw 89 pitches, 64 for strikes. 4Carson's kicked it into another gear over his last 7 starts, he's gone at least 7 innings in 4 of the 7, and had gone 3-2 (counting his outing tonight as a loss) with a 3.67 era in 41.2 innings, and a 11/35 BB/K ratio. Over his last 5 outings, he's given up 10 earned in 32.1 innings, for a 2.78 era, and a 7/28 BB/K ratio.

A South Atlantic League: Savannah 1/3/1, Rome 0/4/1

John Church had his best professional outing to date, with a 4 hit shutout over 7 innings for his 4th win of the season, and Michael Powers notched his 10th save with a perfect 9th. The Gnats had just 3 hits and a 3/6 BB/K, but it was enough tonight. They went 2 for 8 with RISP and left 6 on base.

AA Eastern League: Binghamton 8/12/2, Akron 5/12/3

Jenrry Mejia needed 44 pitches to get through 1 inning plus 2 batters, then was removed due to injury, apparently needing assistance to get off the field. The Mets did a terrific job here, from turning him into a reliever, to using him on 3 days rest as a starter...everyone involved deserves a degree in How To Wreck a Pitching Prospect 101. Lets hope we're overreacting, but it doesn't sound good

Chris Schwinden picked up the win by pitching 5 innings of relief, allowing 2 runs (1 earned) on 4 hits. Manuel Alvarez picked up save number 4. The Mets offense had 12 hits and a 3/11 BB/K, while going 4 for 10 with RISP and leaving 6 on base. Luis Hernandez, DJ Wabick, Raul Reyes and Salomon Manriquez had multi hit games, while Josh Satin took the only 0-fer.

AA Eastern League: Binghamton 11/14/0, Akron 6/14/2

Mark Cohoon's first AA start (jumping 2 levels in the process) was uneven, he gave up 3 in the first, then threw up 4 zeroes, before giving up a pair in the 6th. His final line reflected that unevenness, he gave up 5 runs on 11 hits in 5.2 innings, but nonetheless picked up the win as the Mets offense exploded for 14 hits and 5/5 BB/K ratio. The Mets were 5 for 12 (.417) with RISP and left 8 on base.

Eric Niesen had one of his best outings of the season, with 7 terrific innings (his highwater mark this year), giving up just a run on 4 hits and only 2 walks, for his 3rd win. Manuel Alvarez struck out 5 in his 2 innings of work, and now has a 3/27 BB/K in 19.1 AA innings, and overall 7/51 in 45 innings with a 1.40 era.

The Mets offense had 7 hits and a 2/6 BB/K ratio, while going 2 for 7 (.286) with RISP and leaving 5 on base.

Marshall Hubbard and Maldonado had multi hit games, while the top 3 in the order (Luis Hernandez (0 for 4, .298), Sean Ratliff and Nick Evans) went a combined 0 for 12 with 5 Ks, they, along with Jose Coronado (0 for 3, run, BB, .226) took 0-fers.
