First of all, make sure you scroll down for tonight’s game thread.
Secondly, I forgot to include that in yesterday’s DotF, but that’s a shot of Mikey O’Brien delivering a pitch during his utterly dominant start for the Staten Island Yanks on Sunday. Thanks to commenter alex k. for the pic. As you can see, O’Brien’s not a big guy. Listed at just 5-foot-11, 185 lbs.
In other news, Marcus Thames is with Triple-A Scranton, presumably because he’ll be starting a rehab assignment soon.

Low-A Charleston is off until Thursday for the All Star Game. The game ended with the North and South teams tied at five. How lame.

Short Season Staten Island‘s game was suspended due to rain after an inning and a half. Not sure when they’re going to finish this one off, but here’s the box score if you want to see what happened.
Rookie GCL Yanks (11-4 win over GCL Pirates)
Kelvin Duran, CF: 0 for 5, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB
Anderson Felix, 2B: 2 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K – always nice to have a 1.010 OPS after two pro games
Gary Sanchez, C: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 E (throwing) – same comment as Felix, except with a 1.232 OPS
Ramon Flores, LF: 3 for 4, 4 R, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 CS – now that is a productive game
Fu-Lin Kuo, 3B: 2 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K – first career hits
Reymond Nunez, 1B: 3 for 5, 2 R, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 K –
Henry Pena, DH: 2 for 4, 1 BB, 2 K
Jose Rosario, SS & Judd Golsan, RF: both 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 BB – Rosario committed a fielding error … Golsan K’ed thrice

Charlyn Garcia: 0.1 IP, zeroes
Evan DeLuca: 4 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 2-1 GB/FB – great arm, just needs to figure out the whole control thing … the Yankees obviously love him, they gave him a $500,000 to skip out on his commitment to San Diego as a 44th rounder last year
Conor Mullee: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 3-0 GB/FB – 24th round pick this year
Harold Garce: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2-0 GB/FB – now that’s a disappointing line … this is a guy that walked 84 batters in 37.2 IP in the Dominican Summer League back in 2008 … when he pitches, I want comic relief
