SWB beats in old friend as Soriano rehabs

July 24, 2011 by Mike 115 Comments

Cashman: Chavez will return Tuesday, Soriano Wednesday or Thursday
Yanks survive late chaos to take series from A's

Commenter mbonzo was kind enough to put together a makeshift DotF in my  absence last night, so check that out for last night’s update. Dante Bichette Jr.’s on some kind of tear, 4-for-4 with two walks and two doubles yesterday has him up to .500/.569/.786 in his last ten games and .305/.448/.484 on the season. As for Dellin Betances, he left last night’s game with the trainer, but apparently it was just heat related. He labored that inning (30+ pitches) and just ran out of gas covering first. If there’s any definitive update, we’ll obviously keep you updated.

Triple-A Scranton (7-2 win over Syracuse)
Rafael Soriano, RHP: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2-0 GB/FB – gave up a leadoff homer to this guy and then refused to talk to the media after the game, so he’s in midseason form … he didn’t start, this was the first time during his rehab that he warmed up and came out of the bullpen … apparently there’s a chance he’ll pitch again tomorrow, and after that he might rejoin the big league team … nothing confirmed yet though
Kevin Russo, 3B: 1 for 4, 2 K, 1 SB
Greg Golson, LF: 0 for 3, 1 R, 2 K, 1 HBP – threw a runner out at the plate
Jesus Montero, DH: 2 for 4, 2 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI – one of the doubles was off the top of the wall, almost a homer … he’s ruining the narrative by raising his OPS, that jerk
Mike Lamb, 1B, Gus Molina, C, Luis Nunez, 2B & Doug Bernier, SS: all 1 for 4 – Gus hit a three-run homer and whiffed … Nunez doubled and drove in a run
Jordan Parraz, RF: 2 for 3, 1 R, 1 3B, 2 RBI, 1 K – threw a runner out at second
Austin Krum, CF: 1 for 3, 2 R, 1 BB
Andrew Brackman, RHP: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 5 BB, 0 K, 5-1 GB/FB – just 35 of 73 pitches were strikes (47.9%) … he was the starter, but yawn, another bad outing in a terrible year
Josh Schmidt, RHP: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1-1 GB/FB – 16 of 23 pitches were strikes (69.6%)
Randy Flores, LHP: 1 IP, zeroes, 0-3 GB/FB – nine of 12 pitches were strikes
Eric Wordekemper, RHP: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K – 11 of 15 pitches were strikes (73.3%)

For Old Time’s Sake
Chien-Ming Wang, RHP: 5 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 5-4 GB/FB – 63 of 96 pitches were strikes (56.6%) … gave up Molina’s homer and Montero’s almost homer … that’s it for him, the team announced that he’ll start against the Mets on Friday … I do wish him the best because it’s been a long, long road back (he hasn’t been an effective pitcher since June of 2008), so  good luck Wanger

Double-A Trenton (6-4 win over Bowie)
Ray Kruml, DH: 2 for 4, 1 BB, 1 K – six for his last 18 (.333)
Corban Joseph, 2B: 0 for 4, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
Zoilo Almonte, RF: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K – 12 for his last 33 (.364) with one double and two jacks … good to see him doing so well after the promotion
Rob Lyerly, 1B & Jose Pirela, SS: both 0 for 4 – Lyerly walked, scored a run, and whiffed three times … Pirela struck out once
Melky Mesa, CF, Damon Sublett, LF & Jose Gil, C: all 1 for 4, 1 R – Mesa struck out … Sublett doubled and whiffed
Addison Maruszak, 3B: 3 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B, 4 RBI, 1 BB, 1 E (fielding) – 11 for his last 22
Shaeffer Hall, RHP: 6.1 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 11-5 GB/FB
Brad Halsey, LHP: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 Balk, 0-2 GB/FB – 48 baserunners in 20.2 IP
Ryan Pope, RHP: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 0-2 GB/FB

High-A Tampa (2-1 loss to Bradenton, walk-off style)
Abe Almonte, CF, Cody Johnson, DH & Kelvin Castro, SS; all 1 for 4 – Almonte hit a solo jack … Johnson struck out twice
Eric Chavez, 3B: 0 for 4
David Adams, 2B: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 1 K – he must be thrilled to get out of the GCL
Kyle Roller, 1B: 1 for 3, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
Ronnier Mustelier, LF: 0 for 4, 1 K – threw a runner out at second … five for his last 23 (.217), so he’s in a little rut
Rob Segedin, RF: 1 for 2, 1 R, 1 HBP
Hector Rabago, C: 0 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 K – picked a runner off second with a snap throw
Graham Stoneburner, RHP: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 8-5 GB/FB – vintage Stoneburner, good to see him do deep in the game
Dan Burawa, RHP: 1.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 2-0 GB/FB

Low-A Charleston (14-0 beatdown of West Virginia)
Anderson Feliz, 2B: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 HBP – ten for his last 18 (.556) with three doubles and a triple
Shane Brown, LF: 2 for 6, 1 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K
Kevin Mahoney, 1B: 1 for 2, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 BB – ten for his last 32 (.313) with three doubles, a homer, nine walks, and six strikeouts
Gary Sanchez, C: 2 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B – had been in a 1-for-15 slump with nine strikeouts
Ramon Flores, CF: 2 for 4, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SB – eight for his last 24 (.333) with two doubles, a triple, and a homer
Kelvin DeLeon, RF: 3 for 4, 2 R, 1 3B, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 1 BB – four homers in his last ten games, raising his ISO to .181
Taylor Grote, DH: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 2 K
Jose Mojica, SS: 0 for 4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Garrison Lassiter, 3B: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K – 12 for his last 32 (.375)
Shane Greene, RHP: 4.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 5-5 GB/FB – first game off the DL, so he was probably on a pitch count
Michael Recchia, RHP: 1.2 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 2-0 GB/FB
Tommy Kahnle, RHP: 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 1-2 GB/FB – 77 K in 58 IP, but 41 BB

Short Season Staten Island (2-0 loss to Tri-City)
Mason Williams, CF, Zach Wilson, DH, Reymond Nunez, 1B & Ben Gamel, RF: all 1 for 4 – Gamel struck out once, Nunez and Wilson twice each … Nunez also doubled while Williams and Gamel stole one base each
Everyone Else: combined 0 for 15, 3 BB, 5 K – Cito Culver, Angelo Gumbs, and Jhorge Liccien each drew a walk … Gumbs also swiped a bag
Bryan Mitchell, RHP: 5 IP, 9 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 8-2 GB/FB – picked a runner off first … 32 K in 30.2 IP, but also 21 BB
Vidal Nuno, LHP: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 1-2 GB/FB – 22-3 K/BB in 20.2 IP
