Scranton pounds out 20 hits for a win

Open Thread: September call-ups
What happened to Bob?

Chase Weems was promoted to Charleston. He didn’t play much for the GCL Yanks after Kyle Higashioka showed up, and I can’t imagine he’ll get much playing time with Montero & Romine on the team.

Victor Zambrano was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week. Hah.

Triple-A Scranton (7-2 win over Buffalo) 16 of their 20 hits came off of one pitcher … yikes
Justin Christian & Matt Carson: 2 for 5, 1 R – Carson drove in a run & K’ed
Melky: 3 for 5 – on base 17 times in 8 games since being send down
Juan Miranda: 0 for 0 – left the game in the bottom of the first with dizziness says Chad Jennings
Shelley: 1 for 5, 1 R, 2 K – got struck out by an old friend
Ben Broussard: 2 for 4, 1 R, 2 K
Nick Green: 4 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI – seriously?
Eric Duncan: 2 for 4
Chris Stewart: 3 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI
Bernie Castro: 1 for 4
IPK: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 9 K, 5-4 GB/FB – 64 of 106 pitches were strikes (60.4%) … remember, he’s there working his two-seamer and curveball, which CJ says he’s doing
Steven Jackson: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K – 12 of 22 pitches were strikes (54.5%) … 11 K in his last 7 IP
Phil Coke: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 1-2 GB/FB – only 6 of 13 pitches were strikes (46.2%)
Scott Patterson: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 0-2 GB/FB

Double-A Trenton had a scheduled off day. There’s 7 games left in their season, and they’ve already clinched the divison title.

High-A Tampa (5-3 in over Sarasota)
Luis Nunez: 2 for 3, 2 R, 2 2B, 1 BB, 1 K – 15 for his last 40 (.375)
Eduardo Nunez: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 E (throwing)
Kevin Smith: 1 for 4, 2 RBI, 1 K
Josh Kreuzer: 2 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K – had been 3 for his last 20 (.150)
Seth Fortenberry: 1 for 2, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB
Andres Perez: 0 for 4, 2 K
Mitch Hilligoss & Jose Gil: both 0 for 3 – Gil picked a runner off first with a snap throw
Tim Battle: 1 for 3, 2 K, 1 SB
Humberto Sanchez: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB – movin’ on up in the world system I see
Ivan Nova: 5 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 9-2 GB/FB
Jesse Hoover: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
Josh Schmidt: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K – 13 K in his last 7 IP

Low-A Charleston (3-1 loss to Savannah)
Austin Krum: 2 for 4
Bradley Suttle, Jesus Montero & Carmen Angelini: all 0 for 4 – Suttle K’ed twice, Montero thrice
Austin Romine: 0 for 2, 1 K, 1 PB
Chase Weems: 0 for 1, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 PB – took over defensively for Romine in the 5th inning
Brandon Laird: 1 or 2, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K – joins Montero in the 50 XBH club
Justin Snyder: 1 for 4
Abe Almonte & David Williams: both 0 for 3 – Almonte K’ed

Chase Vacek: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 4-0 GB/FB

Short Season Staten Island (6-3 loss to Lowell)
Ray Kruml (11): 1 for 5, 1 K, 1 SB
David Adams (3): 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 E (fielding) – there were questions about his ability to hit with wood bats when he was drafted, and he hasn’t really answered any of them … granted, we’re talking about a real small sampling here
Brian Baisley: 2 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Jack Rye (13): 0 for 4, 2 K
Dan Brewer (8), Mike Lyon (24) & Mitch Abeita (19): all 1 for 4 – Brewer doubled … Lyon K’ed twice … Abeita scored a run & K’ed
Taylor Grote: 2 or 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 K – second straight game with a jack … hopefully he goes on a nice little tear to finish up the season, this way he heads into the offseason on the positive note
Roy Gomez: 1 for 3, 1 K
Nick Montgomery: 4 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 HB, 3-5 GB/FB – picked a runner off first
Nick Asselin: 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 7-1 GB/FB
Andy Shetrone: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 0-3 GB/FB, 1 E (pickoff)

The Rookie GCL Yanks box score hasn’t been updated yet. Here’s the scoreboard, they’ll get it posted eventually. I’m not going to wait around for it.
