Brad Halsey’s demotion to High-A Tampa was short lived, he’s been sent back to Double-A Trenton. It was a paper move and he never actually left the team, apparently. Ryan Flannery went back down in a very real move though. Corban Joseph, meanwhile, may have a stye on his eye and figures to be out a few days. It’s nothing serious, but they are kinda gross.
Triple-A Scranton (3-2 win over Lehigh Valley) both Brian Cashman and Billy Eppler were in the house for this one
Kevin Russo, 2B, Greg Golson, CF, Jorge Vazquez, 1B & Jordan Parraz, RF: all 0 for 4 – Russo drove in a run, struck out, and committed a fielding error … Parraz struck out once, Golson twice, JoVa thrice
Jesus Montero, C: 3 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI – the homer was pulled to left-center field and came on a 97 mph fastball … good time to have a great game with all the heat watching
Mike Lamb, DH: 1 for 3, 1 BB
Brandon Laird, 3B: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K – ten for 26 (.385) with three doubles and a homer since being sent back down
Austin Krum, LF: 1 for 2, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 SB
Doug Bernier, SS: 0 for 2, 1 BB, 1 K
Manny Banuelos, LHP: 5 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, 1 WP, 6-0 GB/FB – 62 of 100 pitches were strikes, and the unofficial count is 17 swings and misses … he gave up a homer to pretty good young player … was 90-93 consistently and hit 93 with his final pitch … for a 20-year-old kid (youngest player in the league), this is a fantastic Triple-A debut
Josh Schmidt, RHP: 2 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 2-1 GB/FB – 16 of 23 pitches were strikes (69.6%)
Buddy Carlyle, RHP: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HB, 1-1 GB/FB – seven of 12 pitches were strikes
Kevin Whelan, RHP: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 2-0 GB/FB – 11 of 14 pitches were strikes … I guess he got the closer’s job back, finally
Double-A Trenton (3-2 loss to Akron)
Ray Kruml, LF: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 2 K – left the game after running the bases in the seventh for an unknown reason
Damon Sublett, DH: 1 for 2, 2 BB, 1 K – nine walks and five strikeouts in his last six games
Austin Romine, C: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K – all the talk is about Montero, but Romine needs to get up to Tripe-A
Rob Lyerly, 1B: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 3 K
Melky Mesa, CF: 0 for 4, 2 K
Zoilo Almonte, RF: 1 for 4, 2 K
Jose Pirela, 2B: 0 for 4
Yadil Mujica, SS: 2 for 4, 2 R – five for his last 13 (.385), but that’s in part-time duty over like, three weeks
Addison Maruszak, 3B: all 0 for 3, 1 K
Dellin Betances, RHP: 4 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 6-0 GB/FB – 53 of 90 pitches were strikes (58.9%) … his velocity climbed up into the mid-90’s early on, then he was running it up 98 later in the game
Cory Arbiso, RHP: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 3-3 GB/FB
Pat Venditte, SwP: 1 IP, zeroes, 0-2 GB/FB
Chase Whitley, RHP: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1-2 GB/FB
High-A Tampa (10-3 loss to Clearwater)
Abe Almonte, CF: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 SB – got a nice little eight game hitting streak going
Kelvin Castro, SS: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 SB, 1 E (fielding)
Dan Brewer, RF, Luke Murton, DH & Cody Johnson, LF: all 1 for 4 – Brewer struck out, Murton drove in a run, and Johnson scored a run
Kyle Roller, 1B: 2 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 K – maybe I’m nitpicking, but a college power hitter in Single-A, I’d like to see more than 27 BB on the season
Mitch Abeita, C: 0 for 4
Hector Rabago, 3B: 1 for 2, 1 BB
Emerson Landoni, 2B: 1 for 3, 1 RBI
Sean Black, RHP: 5 IP, 7 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 HB, 6-4 GB/FB – gave up five (!!!) homers, which brings his season total to 14 in 94.2 IP (1.33 HR/9)
Dan Burawa, RHP: 2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 2 WP, 5-0 GB/FB
Ryan Flannery, RHP: 1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 0-2 GB/FB
Low-A Charleston (10-5 loss to Asheville) faced the 47th overall pick in last year’s draft, a personal fave
Jose Toussen, CF: 0 for 5, 1 K
Anderson Feliz, 2B & Garrison Lassiter, 3B: both 0 for 4, 1 K – Feliz walked and scored a run … Lassiter drove in a run
Shane Brown, LF: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB
Kevin Mahoney, 1B & Jose Mojica, SS: both 1 for 4, 1 K
Gary Sanchez, C & Ramon Flores, LF: both 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K – love it … great job by both

Scottie Allen, RHP: 4 IP, 12 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 5-3 GB/FB – he gave up four homers, so his season total is now 16 in 91 IP (1.58 HR/9) … no way around it, this season has been a disaster for him, talk about a trade where both sides lost
Yobanny Reyes, LHP: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 0-1 GB/FB
Tommy Kahnle, RHP: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 2-1 GB/FB – 85 K in 62 IP (12.34 K/9)
Short Season Staten Island (7-4 win over Mahoning Valley)
Mason Williams, CF: 3 for 5, 2 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 SB, 1 CS, 1 E (fielding) – threw a runner out at the plate … 11 for his last 30 (.367)
Cito Culver, SS: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 3B, 1 E (fielding) – eight for his last 28 (.286), so he’s digging himself out of that little slump
Ben Gamel, RF: 0 for 2, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
Wes Wilson, DH & Bobby Rinard, LF: both 0 for 3, 1 BB – Wilson struck out
Angelo Gumbs, 2B: 1 for 3, 2 R, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 SB – five for his last 11 (.454) … it’s easy to forget about him because of Williams and Culver, but he’s having a very nice year as well
Reymond Nunez, 1B: 2 for 4, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K – 12 for his last 24
Casey Stevenson, 3B: 0 for 4

Evan DeLuca, LHP: 3 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 2 K, 1 HB, 2-0 GB/FB – picked a runner off first … 42 K in 41.2 IP, but also 26 BB

Fred Lewis, LHP: 1 IP, zeroes, 3-0 GB/FB

Ravel Santana, CF: 2 for 2, 1 2B, 2 RBI – got picked off first
Isaias Tejeda, C: 1 for 3, 1 HBP – left the game in the eighth … the HBP came all the way in the first
Dante Bichette Jr., 3B, Yeicok Calderon, RF, Matt Duran, DH & Justin James, LF: all 0 for 4 – Calderon and Jones whiffed once, Bichette twice … Jones got caught stealing and committed a pair of fielding errors … that ends Bichette’s 16-game hitting streak
Bubba Jones, 1B: 0 for 2, 2 K – pro debut for the recently signed
Fu-Lin Kuo, 1B: 0 for 1, 1 BB – guessing they just wanted Jones to get his feet wet
Taylor Anderson, 2B: 1 for 2, 2 R, 1 3B, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 E (fielding) – seven for his last 20 (.350) with a double and two triples
Kanekoa Texeira, RHP: 2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 6-1 GB/FB
Reynaldo Polanco, RHP: 4 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 2 WP, 1 HB, 2-3 GB/FB – 31-6 K/BB in 29 IP

Joaquin Hinojosa, RHP: 1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 2-1 GB/FB – I guess the stint with Tampa was an emergency only
