Mo day-to-day with back spasms
Yanks roll over Angels after pitching falters

Brian Foley at The College Baseball Blog ran down the Eastern Division pitchers he saw last weekend at the Cape Cod League All-Star Game. Check it out, most of those guys are going to premium draft picks next year.

Triple-A Scranton (5-2 win over Pawtucket)
Brett Gardner: 0 for 5
Berne Castro: 3 for 5, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 CS
Matt Carson: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 K, 1 SB – another year, another .800+ OPS
Juan Miranda: 2 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Cody Ransom: 0 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K – 1 for his last 20 (.050)
Ben Broussard: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K
Chris Stewart: 0 for 2, 2 BB, 1 K – picked a runner off first with a snap throw
Eric Duncan: 0 for 4, 2 K
Chris Basak: 1 for 3, 1 R
IPK: 7 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 HB, 5-9 GB/FB – 67 of 96 pitches were strikes (69.7%) … he’s ready to take a spot from Ponson/Rasner
Scott Patterson: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K

Double-A Trenton had their doubleheader cancelled due to wet grounds. This was the Thunder’s last trip up to Portland, so they’re not going to make these games up.

High-A Tampa
Game 1
(2-1 loss to Lakeland in 7 innings) makeup of the June 21st game that was postponed due to wet grounds
Luis Nunez: 1 for 2, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 SB
Eduardo Nunez: 1 for 4, 1 RBI
Andres Perez: 1 for 2, 1 3B
rest of lineup: combined 0 for 15, 3 BB, 6 K – Josh Kreuzer & Seth Fortenberry each drew a walk & K’ed once … Tim Battle K’ed in his 2 AB
Ryan Pope: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 5-9 GB/FB – you’d like to see more than 6.28 Kper9, but a 3.82 K/BB ratio is pretty damn good
Grant Duff: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K
Game 2 (4-2 loss to Lakeland)
Luis Nunez: 0 for 4
Eduardo Nunez & Kevin Smith: both 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B – Nunez K’ed … Smith drove in a run
Josh Kreuzer & Kyle Anson: both 1 for 3 – Anson K’ed
Seth Fortenberry: 3 for 3, 1 2B, 1 RBI
Tom Baldridge (33), Tim Battle & Chris Kunda: all 0 for 3 – Battle K’ed & committed a fielding error … Kunda K’ed twice & committed a fielding error
Jason Stephens: 6 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 7-6 GB/FB
Mike Obradovich: 1 IP, zeroes, 3 K – promoted after obliterating the GCL … he still hasn’t walked a batter as a pro

Low-A Charleston (9-3 win over Greenville)
Justin Snyder & Austin Romine : both 0 for 5 – Snyder is 0 for his last 13 … Romine K’ed twice
Bradley Suttle: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K – 6 of his last 10 hits have gone for extra bases
Jesus Montero: 4 for 5, 2 R, 2 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI – Jesus!
Austin Krum: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 3B, 1 BB
Brandon Laird: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 K – 5 for his last 11 with 2 doubles & 3 homers after an 0 for 11 stretch
Carmen Angelini: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 K
Abe Almonte: 0 for 4, 1 K
Prilys Cuello: 3 for 4, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K – 5 for his last 7 after an 0 for 9 stretch
Lance Pendleton: 5 IP, 9 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 5-3 GB/FB – 93 K in 102 IP
Noel Castillo: 2.2 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 5-1 GB/FB
Chase Vacek: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 2-1 GB/FB

Short Season Staten Island (5-3 loss to Brooklyn in 13 innings) today was their Old Timers’ Day … Robert at Baby-Bombers will have more photos later on
Addison Maruszack (17) & David Adams (3): both 2 for 6 – Maruszack K’ed … Adams scored a run
Brian Baisley: 1 for 4, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HBP
Marcos Vechionacci: 0 for 2, 1 E (throwing) – played 5 innings in the field and called it a day
Mike Lyon (24): 0 or 4, 1 K – took over at the hot corner for Vech
Dan Brewer (8): 0 for 6, 2 K
Jack Rye (13): 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K – 6 for his last 33 (.182)
Steve Strausbaugh: 2 for 4, 1 2B
Taylor Grote: 1 for 5, 1 RBI, 2 K – singled in the tying run with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th
Casey Erickson: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 9-5 GB/FB
Nick Asselin: 1.1 IP, zeroes, 2-2 GB/FB
Brad Rulon (34): 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 2-0 GB/FB – yeah he was almost on the hook for the loss in this game, but he’s allowed only 17 hits against 42 K in 28.2 IP this year … every year some unheralded late round draftee ends up dominating out of SI’s pen, and this year it’s him
Pat Venditte (20): 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 2-2 GB/FB – back after missing a few days with an illness
Dan Kapala: 1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1 HB, 3-0 GB/FB

Rookie GCL Yanks had a scheduled off day.
