Lots and lots and lots of rain
ByChad Jennings says that both George Kontos & JB Cox have been placed on the DL. He also mentions that Chris Garcia is done for the year after having elbow surgery. In six years with the organization, Garcia’s thrown just 290.2 innings over 67 appearances (55 starts).
Triple-A Scranton (5-1 win over Syracuse)
Kevin Russo: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 K – still hitting a cool .350
Austin Jackson: 0 for 5, 2 K – www.sadtrombone.com
Colin Curtis, Justin Leone & Chris Stewart: all 1 for 4 – Curtis K’ed … Stewart doubled, drove in a run & scored the plate
Shelley Duncan: 2 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB
Juan Miranda: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 1 E (fielding)
John Rodriguez: 0 for 4, 1 K
Eric Duncan: 3 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 K - had been 7 for his last 57 (.123)
Romulo Sanchez: 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 4-2 GB/FB – 31 of 52 pitches were strikes (59.6%) … can’t complain about that spot start

Edwar Ramirez: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 0-2 GB/FB – 26 of 38 pitches were strikes (68.4%)
Jon Albaladejo: 1.1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 1-2 GB/FB – 7 of 8 pitches were strikes … just eight pitches to get four outs, including a K? sign me up
Double-A Trenton had their game suspended in the middle of the second inning due to rain. They’ll finish this one up tomorrow, so I’ll update the stats then.
High-A Tampa was washed out. This is St. Lucie’s last trip into Tampa this year, so they’ll probably play two at some point this weekend.
Low-A Charleston (5-0 loss to Savannah)
Jose Pirela: 1 for 4, 1 K, 1 E (missed catch)
Melky Mesa: 3 for 4, 1 K – threw a runner out at home from RF … 6 for 9 since the break
Chase Weems: 1 for 3, 1 BB, 2 K
Everyone else: ombined 0 for 20, 5 BB, 2 K – Addison Maruszak, Garrison Lassiter & Tommy Baldridge all drew one walk, Mike Lyon drew two
Casey Erickson: 5.1 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HB, 7-7 GB/FB
Dan Kapala: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 2-2 GB/FB
Pat Venditte: 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB - just his second walk of the year, first since May 13th … counting the All-Star game, he’s allowed four runs in his last 3.1 IP
Short Season Staten Island‘s game was delayed by rain, and is taking forever to complete. Here’s the box score, I can’t wait around to write up the update. Sorry.
The Rookie GCL Yanks were rained out. They’ll make this game up as part of a July 7th doubleheader.

Spring Training Countdown
Just 5 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
I was pissed Trenton got PP’d, I was looking forward to seeing Z-Mac’s line…
I’ll be excited about Garcia when I see him in the Bronx
seeing gardner succeed now in the majors is even more reason for me to worry less about ajax…give him time…give him patience…and watch what you get!
a guy who strikes out a lot?
Oh sick burn.
If he gets his hits, why mind the Ks?
I’ll take that over Cano’s one pitch outs or DPs any time.
it’s even harder to make contact in the majors, so k’ing a lot in the minors is not a great thing
Scranton WON that game guys.
Also, Colin Curtis made the most amazing catch in center that I’ve ever seen watching baseball.
Yah, the Chiefs lost.
Mike’s making more errors than Carmen Angelini.
He’s still young and can make those mistakes, but soon, we’re going to be expecting results Mike.
lulz, Mike’s been a bust since last year. Dude’s ancient for his league.
Going into tonight’s game, Staten Island is hitting a amooth .176 as a team. Awesome.
Also, it looks like Melky II Electric Boogaloo is tired of playing in South Carolina. He’s looking at that anemic outfield in Tampa and licking his chops.
Is it wrong of me to hope that the sequel is better than the original there?
It’s not wrong to hope. But the original was playing on the big screen at the same age.
Also, a little birdie told me Venditte is packing his sunscreen.
Venditte just hasn’t been the same since that article in The Times. I blame them.
Blame A-Rod. It was him.
Elam totally living up to advanced billing:
1IP 3Ws 1K
McAllister had a good line in the 2 innings he pitched. I’m disappointed in all the rain. Following the minors is one thing I like to do while watching the Yankee game.
So first prolonged slump for A-Jax. Let’s see how he bounces back.
Any Spahn or Sain sightings?
[...] Lots and lots and lots of rain / Sabathia looks good on mound, at plate [...]
Mike,
Thanks for the link to http://www.sadtrombone.com. Awesome.
Is Chris Garcia the real Carol Pavano??
i’d love to see jg use his best defensive outfield daily since damon needs to just dh and keep the legs in shape; he has lost perception in the field as lots of older guys have (reggie and canseco prime examples of athletes who went from assets to liabilities out there)………how about
jeter/damon/teix/arod/cano/jorge/swish/melky/gardy……the defense afforded ajb tonight was the uplifting stuff that got him through treacherous times; melky’s catches snuffed out possible uprisings…and the gap between him in left and little mercury in center is quick to close…it’s what nyy starters deserve…not to mention us
