In injury related news, Manny Banuelos has been shut down due to a blister issue. As much as we keep hoping for him to get some sort of steady rhythm going in the minor leagues, it just doesn't happen.
SS Jorge Mateo continues to impress in the GCL, going 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored today. He is off to a 7-for-20 start with two doubles and four stolen bases in four tries.....In the same game, catching prospect Luis Torrens went 3-for-5 with a run batted in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scranton (Lost to Rochester, 7-5)
C John Ryan Murphy: 2-for-4, 2B (6), HR (1), 3 RBI, RS, 2 K
Ho hum. Murphy doesn't belong here. End of story.
2B Robert Refsnyder: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB, K
Those who were worried about his walks can relax a little bit. Now has eight in 14 games since joining Scranton.
UTIL Jose Pirela: 1-for-4, HR (7), 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB, K
Second consecutive game with home run and third in last five games. He has pretty much not stopped hitting since the calendar turned to May.
SS Dean Anna: 1-for-4
First game since 5/29.
OF Taylor Dugas: 0-for-1, RS, 3 BB, K
Typically walks more than he strikes out, but the rate this year is 27 walks/33 strikeouts. Regardless, this is what Dugas is all about - getting on base.
1B Kyle Roller: 0-for-4, 3 K
Now has 72 strikeouts in 61 games to go along with the insane power numbers.
C Austin Romine: 0-for-3, BB
4-for-32 in last ten games
IF Scott Sizemore: 1-for-4, K
UTIL Zelous Wheeler: 0-for-4, K
RHP Bruce Billings (L, 4-4); 6 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, HR
LHP Francisco Rondon: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
First run allowed in 11.1 innings since promotion.
RHP Preston Claiborne: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K
2.76 ERA; 16.1 IP, 17 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 10 BB, 19 K
RHP Robert Coello: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
--------------------------------------
Trenton (Lost to Bowie, 6-3. Our old buddy David Adams is playing on the Bowie squad, and hasn't played all that well - .253/.296/.360 in 150 AB)
C Gary Sanchez: 1-for-4, HR (9), RBI, RS, K
10-for-32 since suspension with a double and two home runs.
1B Rob Segedin: 2-for-4, 2B (8), RS
He has been drawing his walks, but has only 14 XBH in 205 AB.
1B/3B/OF Tyler Austin: 1-for-3, 2B (9), RS, BB, K
Third consecutive game with a double. 12-for-37 in last ten games.
CF Mason Williams: 0-for-5, K, CS (6)
He has been running a lot lately, making me wonder if he was told to be a bit more aggressive. Results haven't been overly impressive though (4-for-9 in last nine attempts). 7-for-41 slide.
C/1B Pete O'Brien: 0-for-4, 3 K
73/13 K/BB ratio in 73 games this season. When he connects, the ball flies - but I do think he needs a little more plate discipline.
UTIL Ali Castillo: 2-for-3, 2 RBI, BB
LHP Dan Camarena (L, 0-1): 4.2 IP, 11 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
Double-A debut. Went 4-4 with a 2.72 ERA in 14 starts for Tampa. For a command guy like Camarena, Double-A provides an especially tough test. The hitters are tougher and may not be easily as fooled by some of his slop (he is better than a true "slop" pitcher, but you get the drift). Anyway, one game means nothing.
LHP Ty Webb: 2.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, HR
4.62 ERA; 25.1 IP, 28 H, 13 R, 13 ER, 11 BB, 37 K, 1 HR since promotion.
LHP Fred Lewis: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Slowly bringing his unsightly ERA down. 4.1 scoreless innings in last three appearances.
----------------------------------
Tampa (Defeated Clearwater, 4-3)
1B Greg Bird: 1-for-3, RBI, RS, HBP, 2 K
13-for-35 in last 11 games with seven doubles, nine walks, and nine strikeouts.
3B Dante Bichette: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, K
One overlooked number for Bichette is his walk total: He has now walked 36 times in 73 games after walking 43 times in 114 games during his forgettable 2013 season.
OF Aaron Judge: 1-for-4, 2 K
5-for-21 with four walks and five strikeouts
1B Matt Snyder: 1-for-4, HR (3), 3 RBI, RS, 2 K
Homered three times in 2012 (187 AB), 2013 (93 AB), and now 2014 (117 AB)
CF Jake Cave: 1-for-5, RS, 2 K
Hit safely in nine of his last ten games (12-for-41)
SS Cito Culver: 0-for-5
6-for-42 in last ten games with only one XBH and three walks.
RHP Jaron Long (W, 2-2): 5.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
3.38 ERA; 18.2 IP, 12 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 2 HR, 3 BB, 17 K since promotion.
RHP Cesar Vargas (S, 2); 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
10.1 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 10 K since promotion.
---------------------------------------
Charleston (Split DH with Savannah, winning 6-1 before losing 2-0. In Game 2, they ran into Dario Alvarez, who is an older pitcher (25) with an insane strikeout rate - 60 in 37.1 IP entering tonight. Well, in tonight's game, he added ten strikeouts in 4.1 innings to his total)
OF Dustin Fowler: 1-for-7, HR (5), 3 RBI, RS, 2 K
SS Tyler Wade: 3-for-6, RBI, RS, BB, K
2B Gosuke Katoh: 2-for-5, 2B (9), RBI, 2 K
3B Miguel Andujar: 2-for-5, RS, BB, 2 K, E (18)
OF Michael O'Neill: 1-for-5, 2 RS, BB
1B Mike Ford: 0-for-3, BB
OF Brandon Thomas: 1-for-5, 2 K
C Kale Sumner: 1-for-1, BB
LHP Caleb Smith: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
3.56 ERA; 60.2 IP, 51 H, 27 R, 24 ER, 4 HR, 27 BB, 63 K
Pulled after 37 pitches. We'll see if it was an injury-related thing or a workload related thing.
LHP Omar Luis: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
5.60 ERA; 27.1 IP, 27 H, 19 R, 17 ER, 3 HR, 20 BB, 19 K
One of his more encouraging outings of the season, which should be obvious given that stat line.
RHP Brett Gerritse (W, 1-0): 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Pitched to a 4.53 ERA in 47.2 IP for Tampa before demotion.
RHP Rookie Davis: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K
4.86 ERA; 66.2 IP, 71 H, 40 R, 36 ER, 3 HR, 24 BB, 55 K
After an extended rough patch, he has thrown a bit better lately. Two of his last three starts have been strong.
RHP Angel Rincon: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
-------------------------------------
Staten Island (Defeated Aberdeen 4-0)
SS Thairo Estrada: 1-for-4, RS, 2 K, SB (5)
.229/.308/.229 in 35 AB. 5-for-6 SB. Remember, he is very young for the level (turned 18 in February). Now has a five game hitting streak.
2B Ty McFarland: 2-for-4, 2B (4), 2 RBI, RS
12-for-37 to begin his professional career. 10th round pick out of James Madison could move relatively quickly, but the upside is limited. Can also play third.
OF Austin Aune: 2-for-4, 2B (3), RBI, K
Third consecutive multi-hit game has raised his average to .225.
1B/OF Chris Breen: 1-for-4, RS
12-for-34
CF Devyn Bolasky: 2-for-3, RBI, RS, BB
6-for-20. As stated previously, Bolasky is a slasher type with good speed and strong defensive ability, but power will not be a part of his game.
3B Renzo Martini: 0-for-4, K
Renzo may need a martini, given his .034 start.
OF Nathan Mikolas: 0-for-3, BB, K
RHP David Palladino (W, 1-1): 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K
Power is the name of the game for the 6'8" beast. Tonight, he showed off some control after walking eight in his first 7.1 innings. Now has 15 strikeouts in 13.1 innings to go along with the ten walks.
LHP Rony Bautista (S, 1): 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
A team starts with a 6'8" RHP and ends with a 6'7" LHP. Bautista now has 11 strikeouts in 7.1 innings here, after a rough start in Charleston.
