Open Thread: So it goes
Joba, Mo can't finish off the Twins

Hector Noesi has been promoted to Double-A Trenton. It’s well deserved, he completely overwhelmed the High-A Florida State League (2.06 FIP, 11.1 K/9, 1.3 BB/9, ~40% ground balls).

Triple-A Scranton (7-6 win over Charlotte)
Kevin Russo, 3B: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 HB – on base seven times in his three games back
Reegie Corona, 2B: 2 for 5
Eduardo Nunez, SS & Jesus Montero, DH: both 0 for 4 – Nunez K’ed once, Montero twice
David Winfree, 1B: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 2 K – he’s been a pretty nice find, can’t complain when it’s a minor league signing
Jon Weber, RF: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 E (fielding)
Chad Huffman, LF & Reid Gorecki, CF: both 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB
Chad Moeller, C: 1 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 1 PB
The Ghost of Kei Igawa: 4 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 2-8 GB/FB – 46 of 64 pitches were strikes (71.9%) … he’s not even getting it done in AAA anymore
Amaury Sanit: 2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 3-2 GB/FB – 23 of his 41 pitches were strikes (561%) … gave up two jacks, giving him five in 19.2 IP
Josh Schmidt: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 4-0 GB/FB – 16 of his 26 pitches were strikes (61.5%)
Mark Melancon: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 WP – ten of his 15 pitches were strikes … 31 K in 23 IP

Double-A Trenton (13-7 win over Binghamton)
Dan Brewer, LF: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K
Austin Krum, CF: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB – 11 for his last 22
David Adams, 2B: 1 for 3, 2 R, 3 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K – 10 RBI in his last eight games
Brandon Laird, 3B: 3 for 5, 2 R, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 1 K – takes over the Eastern League with 36 RBI
Marcos Vechionacci, 1B & Jose Gil, C: both 0 for 4, 1 BB
Kevin Smith, 1B: 2 for 5, 2 R, 1 2B
Edwar Gonzalez, RF: 1 for 3, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 BB
Justin Snyder, SS: 0 for 2, 3 R, 1 BB, 1 HBP – sub-.200 AVG, but OBP close to .400
Jeremy Bleich: 5 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 8-5 GB/FB – 26-28 K/BB ratio in 41.1 IP … yuck
Eric Wordekemper: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 2-1 GB/FB
Ryan Pope: 2 IP, zeroes, 4 K, 0-2 GB/FB – moved to the bullpen with Noesi coming up

High-A Tampa‘s game was washed out. They’re going to play two tomorrow.

Low-A Charleston‘s game was suspended in the middle of the third inning and I have no idea why. Doesn’t really matter, the important thing is that they’re going to resume this game tomorrow. I’ll update the stats then, but here’s the box score to hold you over.
