Carson allowed two runs in three innings over two games with the Mets. The Mets [...]

An introduction is not necessary as the title does all of the justice. Statistically, he has faltered in every role this season, from set-up man to mop-up guy. Acosta has almost as many walks as innings pitched, allowed more runs then innings pitched and has allowed a run in 10 of his 18 games pitched. So, logical readers of MMO – why is the man still up north occupying a roster spot, and who could [...]

 Buffalo 6, Scranton/WB 2 By Pete Shapiro The Bisons scored two runs in the fifth, two more in the sixth, one in the seventh, and one in the eighth, to beat the SWB Yankees going away by a score of 6-2 in Thursday night action.

Buffalo, Travel Day Herd Rumblings: Buffalo (26-20) had an off-day on Wednesday as they traveled from Indianapolis back to Buffalo. The Bisons look to get back on the winning track after dropping three in a row at 7:05 p.m. on Thursday, when they play the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in Buffalo with the Yankees as the home team. No that’s not a misprint, SWB is playing all their home games on the road this year while their stadium [...]

  Indianapolis 6, Buffalo 3 By Andrew O’Brien For the third straight game, the Buffalo Bisons played shoddy defense Tuesday afternoon en route to a 6-3 loss to the Indianapolis Indians. The loss marked the third straight for the Triple-A Mets. The Bisons committed three errors Tuesday, upping the four-game series total to 12. Chris Schwinden (3-3, 2.72) started for the Bisons and was average over four innings in which he allowed six hits, four [...]

According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, Terry Collins said Ruben Tejada batted in an extended Spring Training game in Port St. Lucie yesterday. Tejada did not play in the field and is trying to comeback from a strained right quadricep muscle he suffered while diving into first base in a game against the Diamondbacks on May 6. Last week, Collins told reporters Tejada had begun running drills and could appear in rehab games as soon as Monday [...]

Indianapolis 8, Buffalo 6 By Andrew O’Brien With the game tied in the top of the ninth inning Monday night, LHP Josh Edgin allowed two Indianapolis runs to score, and the Bisons dropped their second straight game to the Indians, 8-6. Edgin (1-2, 5.40) took the loss, going one inning and allowing one hit and two runs. LHP Garret Olson started the game for Buffalo. He went four innings, allowed seven hits, five runs and [...]

Last night, reliever Pedro Beato allowed one hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning. It was his second rehab appearance as he looks to return from a strained right rotator cuff that sidelined him in spring training. So far Beato has pitched two hitless innings since he began pitching in rehab games last week. He is eligible to return to the team in five days, but there’s a good chance the Mets will assign him to Triple-A Buffalo [...]
