Marc Hulet of FanGraphs broke down Andrew Brackman’s season in 600 words. It took me three posts.

Triple-A Scranton (3-2 loss to Durham in 12 innings) Durham swept the best-of-five series and won the Governor’s Cup … congrats to them
Kevin Russo & Colin Curtis: both 0 for 6 – Russo K’ed twice, Curtis once … tough to score when your 1-2 hitters do that
Austin Jackson: 2 for 4, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K
Juan Miranda & Chris Stewart: both 1 for 4, 1 K – Miranda tripled, walked twice & scored a run … Stewart walked & doubled
Cody Ransom: 1 for 5, 2 RBI, 2 K – was at the plate with the winning run on third and two outs in the 9th, but he struck out
John Rodriguez: 0 for 5, 1 BB, 1 K
Reegie Corona: 1 for 3, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 HBP
Doug Bernier: 0 for 3, 3 BB, 2 K – made the last out of the season
Ivan Nova: 7 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 9-7 GB/FB – 57 of 93 pitches were strikes (61.3%) … two outings in the playoffs, two brilliant starts
Zack Kroenke: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2-3 GB/FB – 20 of 29 pitches were strikes (69%) … allowed a pair of inherited runners to score, hence the runs on Nova’s docket
Kevin Whelan: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 1-1 GB/FB – 23 of 45 pitches were strikes (51.1%) … he was cruising along, but then he started walking guys and left a bases loaded mess for
Eric Wordekemper: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 2-0 GB/FB – 18 of 25 pitches were strikes (72%)

Double-A Trenton’s season is over. Akron leads Connecticut 2-1 in the best-of-five Eastern League Championship Series. Game Three is tomorrow night.

High-A Tampa won the Florida State League championship.

Low-A Charleston’s season is over. Greenville beat Lakewood tonight, but they still trail 2-1 in the South Atlantic League Championship Series (best-of-five). Game Three is tomorrow.

Short Season Staten Island won the NY-Penn League championship.

The Rookie GCL Yanks season is over after they lost to the GCL Marlins in Round One of the playoffs. The GCL Nats won the league championship.
