Jenrry Mejia’s final outing of 2009 (presumably) was a … mixed one. He allowed just 1 run, but on 5 hits and 5 walks in 5.2 innings, constantly dancing out of trouble. Jose De La Torre picked up the win with 2 innings of ineffective relief work, and Roy Merritt notched his 14th save with a 4 outer.

The Mets offense had 8 hits and 2 walks, while going 2 for 14 (.143) with RISP and leaving 7 on base. Ruben Tejada had a homer, his 5th of the season, along with a multi hit game. Zach Lutz also had a multi hit game, raising his AA average to the Mendoza line. DJ Wabick (0 for 4, K, .294), Carlos Guzman (0 for 3, 3 Ks, .158), and Jose Coronado (0 for 3, 2 Ks, .272) took 0-fers.

The final game of the 2009 Mets season was a loss, with Nick Waechter and Manuel Alvarez each giving up 4 runs in their outings, Waechter took his 4th loss.

Jake Eigsti had the lone multi hit game for the Mets, while Brahiam Maldonado (0 for 3, RBI, 2 BBs, .273) took the only 0-fer. The Mets finished the season on a 17-8 run, with 153 runs scored over that span, an average of 6.12 runs per game. Today they pounded out 9 hits and drew 5 walks, but were a putrid 1 for 15 (.067) with RISP and left 12 on base.

The Gnats used a 14 hit, 4 walk attack to beat the Riverdogs in their second to last game of the season, 6-1, behind Armando Rodriguez, who had another solid Sally League outing. The Gnats were just 3 for 14 (.214) with RISP, and left 9 on base, but used two homers and 5 doubles to power their way to victory. Wilmer Flores (3), Nick Giarraputo (3) and Raul Reyes (3) had multi hit games, while Kai Gronauer (0 for 3, 2 BBs, K, .240) took the only 0-fer.

Armando Rodriguez had a solid outing, allowing a run on a hit and 4 walks in 5 innings for his 2nd win in 3 starts. Mike Lynn picked up the save with 2 shutout innings of relief.

NYPL A-: Brooklyn 2/9/2, Lowell 4/9/0

Carlos Beltran (in all likelihood) finished his rehab tonight with a 1 for 5, 3 K day.

Brooklyn ends their regular season with a loss, and a 45-31 record. Tonight, they had 9 hits and 2 walks, while going 3 for 11 (.273) with RISP and leaving 9 on base. Luis Rivera (2) and Scott Grimes (2) had multi hit games, while Sam Honeck (0 for 3, BB, K, .250) and Ralph Henriquez (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .261) took 0-fers.

Collin MuHugh and Jim Fuller each pitched in the game, likely setting themselves up as the Game 2 and Game 3 starters for Brooklyn’s first round playoff series. Chris Hilliard picked up the loss, giving up 3 UER in his outing.

Michael Antonini had an awful end to his 2009 season, giving up 6 runs (5 earned, Rafael Arroyo error) on 11 hits in 7 innings to take his 5th loss in AA.

The Mets offense had 10 hits and 3 walks, while going 1 for 6 with RISP and leaving 8 on base. Kirk Nieuwenhuis only had one hit tonight (demote him to the GCL!). Jose Coronado (3), DJ Wabick (2) and Mark Kiger (3) had multi hit games, while Caleb Stewart (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .227), Carlos Guzman (0 for 4, .188) and Rafael Arroyo (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .000) took 0-fers.

FSL A+: St. Lucie 2/7/1, Palm Beach 1/4/0

John Maine began rehabbing again tonight, he pitched 4 shutout innings for the Mets, giving up 2 hits while striking out 6 and walking 1. One would assume he would 2 more rehab starts, and then rejoin the Mets sometime near the 20th, barring setbacks (for what purpose, who the hell knows? Ditto Carlos Beltran…)

William Rackel picked up the win with 2 scoreless innings to end the game. The Mets had 7 hits and 2 walks, while going 0 for 7 with RISP and leaving 7 on base. Reese Havens was HBP in his third PA and left the game for a PR (most likely being overtly cautious considering the Mets are fighting for nothing and it’s the final weekend of the season). Hector Pellot had the lone multi hit game. Josh Satin (0 for 3, K, .389), Sean Ratliff (0 for 4, K, .304), and Francisco Pena (0 for 3, BB, 2 Ks, .224) all took 0-fers.

The Gnats had 6 hits, but drew 5 walks while going 1 for 10 with RISP and leaving 8 on base. Raul Reyes (2) had the only multi hit game, while Wilmer Flores, Nick Giarraputo (0 for 4, K, .382), Mike Moras (0 for 3, run, BB, .308), and Joey August (0 for 3, RBI, BB, K, .210) all took 0-fers.

Darin Gorski’s uneven 2009 pro season continued with a good outing tonight, he gave up a run on a hit and 4 walks in 5.2 innings (too many walks, but whatever), but took a ND after Jake Goldberg gave up a pair of runs in the 8th. Michael Powers picked up the win with a scoreless 9th inning.

The Conies offense had 11 hits and 3 walks, while going 1 for 9 (.111) with RISP, and leaving 9 on base. Jordany Valdespin (2) and Ralph Henriquez (3) had multi hit games, while Richard Lucas (0 for 4, K, .246) took the only 0-fer.

Eric Brown won’t set the Binghamton record for losses in 2009, he tied it at 14 a few weeks ago, and since doing so, has won his last 2 outings, including tonight.

The Mets offense hammered out 13 hits and 3 walks, beating up on Tim Alderson again this season. They went 5 for 11 (.455) with RISP and left 6 on base. Kirk Nieuwenhuis (2, of course he did!), DJ Wabick (2), Emmanuel Garcia (2) and Salvador Paniagua (3) had multi hit games, while Mark Kiger (0 for 1, run, BB, K, .225 – took over for Ruben Tejada who left the game in the 4th, no reason given), and Carlos Guzman (0 for 3, run, BB, K, .250) took 0-fers.

Five players had multi hit games as the Mets poured across 8 runs on 14 hits and 2 walks, and won the opener of a twinight doubleheader over the Cardinals, 8-7. Reese Havens (2), Josh Satin (2), Sean Ratliff (3), Francisco Pena (2) and Brahiam Maldonado (2) had multi hit games, while Richard Pena (0 for 2, run, BB, .212) took the only 0-fer. Pena is 3 for his last 26. The Mets went 8 for 17 (.471) with RISP and left 7 on base.

Scott Shaw was not effective in his final outing of the season, he gave up 7 runs (4 earned, Josh Satin error) on 8 hits, over 5.2 innings. Manuel Alvarez stranded the tying run on base and picked up his 9th save with a 4 outer.

After losing half their lineup, you’d think the Mets wouldn’t put up runs in bunches, right? Wrong. Josh Satin (2), and Brahiam Maldonado (2) had multi hit games in the nightcap, leading a 9 hit, 4 walk attack as the Mets swept the Cardinals today, winning the nightcap 8-4. Scott Moviel pitched well enough (4 runs, 2 earned in 5.1 innings) to pick up the win. Josh Stinson picked up the save with a 5 outer.

Kyle Allen had a very good outing to end what can only be called a banner first full season. Allen finishes the year with a 3.45 era and 9 wins, though the Gnats defense likely cost him 3-5 more (as it cost every starter). Still, Allen had an A+ first full season. Tonight, he was (as happened alot) denied a win by his defense and bullpen. He gave up 3 hits and an UER in 5 innings, while walking a pair and striking out 6. Mike Lynn took the loss after allowing an UER in the 9th.

The Gnats offense had 7 hits and drew 4 walks, while going just 2 for 11 (.182) with RISP and leaving 7 on base. Wilmer Flores (2) and Nick Giarraputo (2) had multi hit games, while Alonzo Harris (0 for 4, 3 Ks, .176, E (1)), Raul Reyes (0 for 4, K, .249), Juan Lagares (0 for 3, run, BB, K, .273), and Luis Alen (0 for 3, BB, .143) all took 0-fers.

Carlos Beltran continued his rehab tonight, going 0 for 3 while playing CF.

Manuel Olivares got jacked up something fierce in relief today, giving up 7 runs (only 2 earned, though) in the 7th inning, his 2nd of work, but it was Brandon Moore, who left down 1-0 after 5, who took the loss, his 3rd.

The Conies offense had just 5 hits and 2 walks, while going 0 for 6 with RISP and leaving 4 on base.

Not quite 4 hits and 3 for XBH, but Kirk Nieuwenhuis had another very good game for Binghamton, getting on base 3 times with a single and a pair of walks, though he did K his last 2 times up, and drop his average to a pedestrian .500. DJ Wabick (3) almost hit for the cycle (triple shy). He, Carlos Guzman (2, first AA HR), and Jose Coronado (2) had multi hit games, while Caleb Stewart (0 for 3, BB, K, .231), Zach Lutz (0 for 4, .059), Emmanuel Garcia (0 for 3, BB, 2 Ks, .244) and Rafael Arroyo (0 for 2, 2 BBs, 2 Ks, .000) all took 0-fers. The Mets had 9 hits and drew 6 walks, while going 3 for 10 with RISP and leaving 7 on base.

It was a bullpen game for the Mets, with 3 relievers pitching. Jacob Ruckle gave up 5 runs in his 3 innings for the loss, his 4th.

NYPL A-: Brooklyn 4/6/1, Hudson Valley 5/9/2

Maybe Freddy needs to send David Wright to Brooklyn for “rehab”, huh? Another loss, combined with the Yankees 13th straight victory dropped the Cyclones 1.5 games out of first with 3 to play. However, as I noted yesterday, the loser of the division is guaranteed the wildcard, so whatever.

Carlos Beltran played 5 innings in the field today, as was the plan, and went 0 for 2 with a walk at the plate as he continues his rehab assignment.

The Conies overall had 6 hits and drew 2 walks, while going 2 for 6 with RISP and leaving 6 on base. Richard Lucas (0 for 3, BB, K, .264), Alex Gregory (0 for 4, K, .278), and Robbie Shields (0 for 3, K, .173), took 0-fers, no Cyclone had a multi hit game.

Mark Cohoon started and went the first 5, allowing just a run on 5 hits. Michael Powers gave up a pair in the 9th for his 2nd blown save and 3rd loss.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis…I really don’t know what to say. Wow. 4 more hits, 3 for XBH (2 2b, HR), 2 RBI, .538 (7 for 13) in AA. He led the Mets 10 hit, 7 walk attack from the leadoff spot, powering the Mets to a 6-1 victory over the Baysox tonight. Carlos Guzman made his AA debut and went 1 for 5, Zach Lutz notched his first career AA hit.

All of that was in support of Eric Niesen, who had his best outing of the season, pitching into the 8th inning for the first time. He allowed a run on 5 hits in 7.1 innings for his 4th win in Binghamton.

An Eric Campbell error, combined with awful pitching from Angel Calero and Manuel Alvarez, led to 8 runs against St. Lucie in the 5th inning, turning a 3-0 lead into an 8-3 deficit in short order. Calero gave up 5 runs in his outing, though only 1 was earned, he took his 11th loss of the season.

The Mets had 8 hits and drew 6 walks, while going 2 for 10 with RISP and leaving 9 on base. Francisco Pena had the only multi hit game for the Mets, while Eric Campbell (0 for 2, 2 BBs, E), and Richard Pena (0 for 2, BB, K, .234) took 0-fers.

Um…wow. There are very few words left to describe exactly how many cans of whoop ass the Mets are opening up lately. Over their last 16 games, they’ve scored 114 runs (7.13 RPG), and are 11-5 over that span. Tonight they overwhelmed the Cardinals for 22 hits and 2 walks, while going a stupidly insane 10 for 23 (.435) with RISP, and leaving 9 men on base. Every regular except Richard Pena had a multi hit game, the top 5 in the order had multi RBI games, and 5 players were on base 3 or more times (not counting reaching on errors). Kirk Nieuwenhuis (4) led the multi hit parade. Nieuwenhuis is now batting 2.000 over the last 13 games.

Tim Stronach started and was awful, giving up 6 runs (5 earned) over 5.1 innings, but with the ridiculously insane offense, he picked up his 3rd win.

APPY R: Kingsport 0/6/0 (first time being shutout all season), Elizabethon 5/10/0

The high powered Kingsport offense was totally stifled tonight, with Tom Stuifbergen and two Twins relievers combining on a 6 hit shutout. The Mets did not have an AB with RISP all game (another first – for the entire system), and left 4 on. Alonzo Harris (2) had the lone multi hit game, while Darrell Ceciliani (0 for 2, .234), Kurt Steinhauer (0 for 2, K, .339, replaced Ceciliani in CF), RJ Harris (0 for 4, 3 Ks, .294), Jeff Flagg (0 for 4, 3 Ks, .297), and John Semel (0 for 3, K, .212) took 0-fers.

Eduardo Aldama took the loss, his first, despite pitching decently (not terribly, at the vert least), giving up 3 runs on 7 hits in 5.2 innings. Julio Bello and Tim Chism allowed a run each in their outings.
