Greg Porter: 1 for 4, 1 2B
rest of lineup: combined 0 for 13, 1 R, 1 RBI, 5 K, 4 K – Cody Ransom drove in Chris Stewart with a bases loaded walk for the game’s only run
Dan Giese: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 8-3 GB/FB – remember when Cash said Alan Horne would only miss one start? funny how that works, huh?

Double-A Trenton (5-3 in over New Britain in 11 innings)

Austin Jackson: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 3B, 2 RBI – working on a nice little 8 game hitting streak
Jose Tabata: 0 for 4, 1 BB, 3 K – 0 for his last 9 after going 11 for his previous 35

Marcos Vechionacci: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 K
George Kontos: 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 5-5 GB/FB – he’s been extremely ordinary this year

Eric Hacker: 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 12-1 GB/FB – he’s easily been the best pitcher in the system this year … he’s allowed only 5 baserunners against a 15-1 K/BB ratio in his last 20 IP

Austin Krum: 1 for 5, 1 K
Justin Snyder: 1 for 3, 2 BB, 1 E (fielding) – on base 32 times in 15 games … too bad he’s committed 9 errors in that span too … that makes 3 straight games with an E
Jesus Montero: 0 for 4 – only his second 0-fer of the year … that breaks up his 11 game hit streak
Brandon Laird: 0 for 3, 1 BB
Austin Romine & David Williams: both 2 for 4, 1 2B, 1 K - Romine scored 2 runs & has had 5 straight multi-hit games, and 7 in his last 9 contests overall … Williams scored a run & drove one in

“Jose Tabata: 0 for 4, 1 BB, 3 K – 0 for his last 9 after going 11 for his previous 35″
Thanks Jamal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fine, I shall work my magic again.
Mr. Tabata. Hey you, yeah you Mr. Tabata, you haven’t had a hit in a little bit.
BTW, you people have too long of a memory.
I never forget good ball busting material, but it is all in good fun.
Betances put up of those lines that Nolan Ryan would be proud of.
Interesting comparison. I guess it would be ok if Betances turns out to have Nolan Ryan’s career.
Love the outing by Joba after his emotional break. Sat 97-99 MPH with two strikeouts, the last of which came on a curveball.
Fat lot of good it does the Yanks to have him for those oh so valuable 8th innings these days, huh?
Betances didn’t pitch the 6th and 7th
OR DID HE
No, De La Rosa pitched the 6th and 7th. They updated the box score.
Fuck the heck … the original box score didn’t have DeLaRosa listed…
Fixed.
MILB screwed up. The updated line for Betances is:
Betances (W, 3-0) 5.0 2 0 0 5 5 0 2.66
I don’t know if that is more impressive or less.
What the heck are we going to do with Hacker? He is a 6 year FA if we don’t add him to the 40 man roster after this season.
Hacker is 25 years old and pitching in A-ball. You’re not talking high-level prospect here. He’d have to shine in AA ball for half the season to rate a roster spot. Don’t hold your breath.
Dellin Betances: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 5 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 6-3 GB/FB, 1 E (pickoff) – heh, this is one of those lines that you don’t know what to do with, so you just laugh a little
Thats Oliver Perez’s line every start. I think I’ll take it.
Now that you bring up Oliver Perez. If you were Cashman, would you persue him this offseason? I think he is very intriguing.
Hell no. At the rate he’s going this season, coupled with last season, he’s going to be a Type A Free Agent. To lose a 1st Rd. pick on a guy and the amount of money (the Mets will make a good offer I expect so if he turns them and pitching coach Rick Peterson dow, it will have to be for more than a pretty penny) it would take to sign him is too much. Way too many bouts of inconsistency and he’s a career NL pitcher, no thanks.
I think A-Jack could rise quickly.
He’s the 14th youngest player in the entire Double-A level (thank you projectprospect.com), I think he’s risen fast enough.
Especially since he was a two-sport athlete and his baseball tools were considered raw just three years ago after being drafted in the June 2005 draft.
A-Jack is virtually the same age as Maybin.
Come on Mike, admit it. You’re coming around just a bit on Wilkins De la Rosa. I know the walks are more stressful because he’s a reliever but yo can’t argue with a near 18 K/9.
why mention people like nick green, he is not a prospect.
he is a career bad utility player….
Just a guess here…Sterling Hitchcock? That’s if you’re talking about Ben Julianel. If you’re not talking about him, I have no idea.
No. Ron Villone.
You are both right. Julianel was acquired for Sterling Hitchcock, and then traded away for Ron Villone.
Man, I’m starting to get Betances-boner. What’s his eta if all goes well? 2011? 2012?
