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. Matt Harvey (5-1, 4.22) went 5.1 IP for the Herd, giving up two runs on four hits, with one walk, and two strikeouts, to pick up his fifth win of [...]

During last night’s Mets telecast on SNY, general manager Sandy Alderson announced that RHP Jenrry Mejia will be promoted from Binghamton to Triple-A Buffalo today. Mejia made his fourth start of the season pitching for the B-Mets yesterday and went five innings against the New Britain Rock Cats, giving up four runs (all earned) on five hits, with five strikeouts and three walks. He threw 75 pitches, 44 for strikes. Terry Collins had previously said that Mejia could [...]

A Day In Pictures  Jenrry Mejia follows through after delivering a pitch in the first inning. I had gotten to the ballpark in New Britain on Thursday morning at around 9am for a 10:35 start time. I really wanted to get some coffee and eat breakfast but that would have to wait until I went up to the press-box about 45 minutes before game time. In the meantime I snapped off a few pictures for [...]

It’s funny how some fans view things when it comes to Mets prospects. On Tuesday, I saw some tweets regarding reliever Josh Edgin and that he’s somehow nearing a promotion to the Mets bullpen. Really? That’s news to me. I know this isn’t something they read anywhere because it’s simply not true so I have to assume it’s just this perception that surrounds him and a few other prospects. I’m not going to go into [...]

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 [...]

Where the situation in Buffalo is relatively clear cut (see my babble from a few weeks back), the saga that is the Binghamton Mets is a bit more convoluted, and rife with rumors, suppositions, and innuendos. As with every impending expiration of the player development contracts, professionals and novices alike like to begin playing Monday morning quarterback with the franchises they deem as ‘weaker’.  They go to the official league websites, look at the total [...]

B-Met Manager Pedro Lopez Throws BP Well at least Wheeler is pitching today, and I just saw him and boy does he have his game face on. After two rain-filled night games where the RockCats ate the B-Mets lunch, we got day baseball, we got sun, and we got Zack Wheeler on the hill today. This is Petey Pete coming to you live from the press-box, behind homeplate high atop beautiful New Britain Stadium in [...]

  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 [...]
