River Ave. Blues ยป Mustelier, Johnson homer late in Trenton win

Mustelier, Johnson homer late in Trenton win

May 3, 2012 by Mike 26 Comments

Update: Rivera taken off field with apparent right leg injury
Girardi: Rivera 'appears' to have a torn ACL

The recently signed Adonis Garcia will head to Extended Spring Training for a while before being assigned to one of the minor league affiliates. Ronnie Mustelier was the same age Garcia is now when he signed last year, and he went to High-A Tampa after spending some time in ExST, though he signed later in the summer. Not crazy to think Garcia will see Double-A Trenton at some point this summer.

In other news, Dan Burawa’s rehab from a torn oblique is apparently go well. Hooray for that, even if we still don’t have any idea of when he’ll be back on a mound. Meanwhile, Gus Molina was activated off the DL and Yadil Mujica was promoted to Triple-A.

Triple-A Empire State (4-3 loss to Rochester) all three outfielders had an assist, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before
2B Kevin Russo: 2-3, 1 R, 1 BB — 12 for his last 31 (.387) with four doubles, eight walks, and five strikeouts
DH Frankie Cervelli & RF Cole Garner: both 0-4 — Cervelli struck out three times, Garner twice … Garner also threw a runner out at first
LF Dewayne Wise & 3B Steve Pearce: both 0-3, 1 BB — Wise scored a run, struck out, and threw a runner out at the plate … Pearce committed a throwing error
1B Brandon Laird: 2-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 2 K, 1 E (missed catch) — 12 for his last 34 (.353)
CF Colin Curtis, C Craig Tatum & SS Doug Bernier: all 0-3 — Curtis threw a runner out at second … Tatum allowed a passed ball … Bernier struck out twice
RHP Dellin Betances: 6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 6 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 7/7 GB/FB — 55 of 108 pitches were strikes (50.9%) … 6+ BB in three of six starts this year, leading to a 21/27 K/BB in 28.1 IP … the bullpen, it’s a callin’
RHP Adam Miller: 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 4/0 GB/FB — 26 of 39 pitches were strikes (66.7%)

RF Abe Almonte: 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 SB
LR Dan Brewer: 0-4, 3 K

CF Melky Mesa: 1-5, 1 R, 2 K
1B Luke Murton: 2-5, 1 R
2B Kevin Mahoney: 3-4, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — had been in a 2-for-15 rut (.133)

RHP Michael Dubee: 1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1/1 GB/FB — 15 of 21 pitches were strikes (71.4%)
RHP Ryan Flannery: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2/0 GB/FB — ten of 18 pitches were strikes (55.6%)

High-A Tampa (12-6 loss to Brevard County) they faced LHP Jed Bradley, the 15th overall pick in last year’s draft
CF Eduardo Sosa & C J.R. Murphy: both 1-4, 1 BB — Sosa drove in a run and struck out … Murphy scored a run
LF Ramon Flores & 2B Kelvin Castro: both 0-4 — Flores walked and scored … Castro drove in a run and struck out

3B Jose Toussen: 2-4, 1 R
SS Jose Mojica: 3-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI

LHP Vidal Nuno: 2 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 0/2 GB/FB — 83/8 K/BB in 81.1 IP since signing last year

Low-A Charleston (5-4 win over Lakewood in ten innings, walk-off style) allowed a run in the top of the tenth but came back to win
CF Ben Gamel: 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 BB– still no Mason Williams, though he is not listed on the DL
2B Angelo Gumbs: 1-4, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB
3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 0-5 — the slump is extended to 4-for-38 (.105)
RF Tyler Austin: 0-3, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K — started the tenth inning rally with a leadoff walk and he threw a runner out at the plate
C Gary Sanchez: 1-5, 1 R, 2 K
LF Kelvin DeLeon: 1-5, 1 RBI, 2 K — singled in Austin to tie the game
DH Casey Stevenson: 2-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K

LHP Dan Mahoney: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 0 K — just 14 of 33 pitches were strikes (42.4%) … I guess he didn’t want to get shown up by Betances
RHP Mariel Checo: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2/0 GB/FB — half of his 20 pitches were strikes
RHP Zach Varce: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 3/0 GB/FB, 2 E (fielding, throwing) — 18 of 27 pitches were strikes (66.7%)
RHP Ben Paullus: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 2 WP, 1/0 GB/FB — only nine of his 24 pitches were strikes (37.5%), and none of those walks were intentional … and to think, he got the win
