Bats, bullpen provide relief for ineffective Joba

Triple-A Scranton had their doubleheader with Pawtucket postponed again because the field is still unplayable. They’re going to try to play two tomorrow, but who knows if they’ll actually be able to. Oh, and Chad Jennings says that Sergio Mitre is scheduled to start on Tuesday, ex-Blue Jay Josh Towers on Thursday.

Double-A Trenton (5-0 loss to New Britain)
Reegie Corona, Jorge Vazquez & Jesus Montero: all 0 for 4, 1 K – Corona committed a throwing error
Jose Molina & Edwar Gonzalez: both 0 for 3, 2 K – Molina caught seven innings
Eduardo Nunez: 3 for 4, 1 2B – the AVG is high, but the OBP and SLG are nothing to write home about
Chris Malec, Richie Robnett & Austin Krum: all 1 for 3 – Malec & Robnett each K’ed once … Krum doubled & threw a runner out at home from CF
Jeremy Bleich: 6 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 2 HB, 8-3 GB/FB
Mike Dunn: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 4-1 GB/FB
Jose Valdez: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 1-0 GB/FB

High-A Tampa (3-1 loss to Brevard County)
Dan Brewer: 1 for 5, 1 K, 1 SB
Matt Cusick: 3 for 3, 1 BB, 1 SB, 1 E (fielding) – he had just one hit in his last 18 at-bats coming into this game
Austin Romine: 1 for 3, 1 BB, 1 PB – I’m hoping he improves his walk rate a little in the second half
Damon Sublett: 0 for 4, 4 K, – yikes
Brandon Laird: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 K
Seth Fortenberry: 0 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
David Adams: 0 for 2, 2 BB, 1 K – you gotta love the ~.375 OBP this year
Kevin Smith & Walk Ibarra: both 0 for 4 – Smith K’ed
DJ Mitchell: 7 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 12-6 GB/FB – ditto Adams’ comment, except with a ~2.50 GB/FB ratio
Grant Duff: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB
Noel Castillo: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2 HB, 1-1 GB/FB

Low-A Charleston (7-6 loss to Asheville)
Jose Pirela: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 RBI
Ray Kruml: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 E (throwing)
Melky Mesa: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K – league leading 18th homer
Corban Joseph, Abe Almonte, Garrison Lassiter & Mike Lyon: all 1 for 4 – CoJo K’ed … Lassiter scored a run … Lyon scored a run & K’ed twice
Taylor Grote & Chase Weems: both 0 for 3 – Grote drew a walk & K’ed twice … Weems drove in a run & K’ed
Brett Marshall: 4.2 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 6-3 GB/FB – 22 runs allowed in his last 19 IP
Brandon Braboy: 3.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 5-1 GB/FB – allowed a pair of solo jacks

Short Season Staten Island (7-3 win over Lowell)
Jimmy Paredes & Zoilo Almonte: both 2 for 5, 1 K – Paredes scored two runn & was caught stealing … Almonte doubled, drove in three runs & scored a run
Hector Rabago: 2 for 3, 1 BB – picked a runner off second with a snap throw
Kyle Higashioka: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K

Gavin Brooks: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 4-1 GB/FB – he worked as a reliever just about all spring for UCLA, so I wonder if they’re stretching him out, or if they’re just going to wait until next year, or what
Ben Watkins: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 2-1 GB/FB
Rob Flannery: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB
Mike Solbach: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2-0 GB/FB

The Rookie GCL Yanks had a scheduled off day, just like every other Sunday.
