Buffalo 1, Toledo 0 Jon Niese is a straight up PIMP. He fired another complete game shutout (OK, so this one was of the 7 inning variety), allowing just 2 hits and 2 walks, and lowering his season’s ERA underneath 4. Over his last 8 starts, Niese has gone 5-1, with a 0.96 era. Spanning 56.1 innings, Niese has allowed just 40 hits, with 12 walks and 46 strikeouts. 2b Argenis Reyes 0 for 3, [...]

Binghamton 8, Erie 7 There needs to be a rule put into place in baseball whereby if you enter a game with a 3 run lead, and the game ends with a 1 run differential, you don’t get a save. Connor Robertson pitched horribly, giving up 2 runs on 2 hits and 2 walks in the 9th, but he got a save he didn’t deserve. Eric Niesen started and gave up 4 runs on 7 [...]

One player whose name is starting to get thrown around in conversations about Mets Minor Leaguers with good statistics is Josh Satin. Satin is mainly a second basemen (but can play the other infield positions as well) for the Savannah Sand Gnats. His stats this year, look promising for the 24-year old, but there are a few other things that also have to be taken into consideration. The Mets drafted him in the 6th round of [...]

Buffalo 2, Toledo 6 Tobi Stoner tied his longest AAA outing with 7 innings, but fared considerably worse, giving up 6 runs on 8 hits and 4 walks, instead of a 1 hit shutout over 7 (his last outing). 2b Argenis Reyes 3 for 5, .306 lf Jesus Feliciano 3 for 5, .308 cf Cory Sullivan 1 for 4, K, .290 rf Wilson Valdez 0 for 1, K, .207 ss Javier Castillo 0 for 4, [...]

St. Lucie 10, Palm Beach 0 Tim Stronach had the game of his life this afternoon, taking a perfect game into the 8th, and a no hitter into the 9th, losing the perfecto on a HBP in the 8th, and losing the no hitter with 1 down in the 9th on a triple. Stronach only struck out 1, getting his other 24 outs via groundball (14), and flyball (10). Stronach is a fringy prospect at [...]

Savannah 2, Kannapolis 0 Kyle Allen and 3 relievers combined on a 3 hit shutout tonight, and Jefry Marte continued his resurgance at the plate with 2 doubles, leading the Gnats to a 2-0 victory. Allen had one of his best games of the season, pitching into the 7th inning for the 2nd time all season (June 14th against Augusta), and matching his longest outing with 6.2 innings of 3 hit shutout ball. At one [...]

Binghamton 14, New Britain 1 Not sure what the bigger story is, the Mets putting a severe beat down on the Rock Cats, or Brad Holt’s 7 shutout innings, but either way, it was a good afternoon for the BMets. The Mets hammered out 16 hits and drew 7 walks en route to dismantling the Rock Cats 14-0, and Brad Holt struck out 7 over 7 shutout innings for his first EL victory. Five players, [...]
