Albuquerque Isotopes (Rockies, 53-64) 8, Las Vegas 51s (57-62) 7 Box Score

The 51s scored four runs in the 7th and three more in the 8th but the comeback fell short as they went down 1-2-3 in the 9th inning.

It’s the first earned run that Smoker has allowed since July 8th.

Binghamton Mets 7 (54-61), Reading Fightin’ Phils (77-39) 3 Box Score

Fun fact about 2016 Rosario: High-A, 10 2B, 8 3B, 66 Games, Double-A, 10 2B, 4 3B, 31 games. Evans hit his 6th homer.

Montero was taken out after being hit with a come-backer in the third. He did bat in the bottom of the third but was taken out in the top of 4th, probably as a precaution. Paez allowed his first run in AA.

St. Lucie Mets 3 (61-50), Fort Myers Miracle 1 (Minnesota, 56-58) Box Score

Guillorme with a nice game. Thompson has nine extra base hits in 32 games at St. Lucie.

Reyes has allowed three runs and has struck out 19 in his last 18.1 innings pitched.

Second St. Lucie game was rained out.

Greenville Drive 7 (Boston, 60-55), Columbia Fireflies 3 (52-64) Box Score

Garcia isn’t getting on base much, but is hitting for power, with 12 extra base hits in 33 games.

Word from the stadium was that Church felt ill and was pulled for that reason. Blank is an undersized reliever who can throw up to 95.

Brooklyn Cyclones 5 (27-25), Vermont Lake Monsters 4 (Oakland, 19-33) Box Score

2016 10th rounder, Cone, has been underwhelming for Brooklyn this year. Lindsay has gone 6 for his last 14, including a home run and 3 walks. Brooklyn had a suicide-squeeze walk off to end the game.

Gonzalez was pulled after two innings, possibly for throwing a high amount of pitches in the second inning. Zanghi is a flamethrower that has been dominating the New York-Penn League.

Elizabethton Twins 4 (24-22), Kingsport Mets 0 (17-30) Box Score

  • Anthony Dimino C 2 for 3, BB, SB .351/.466/.457
  • Jose Miguel Medina RF 1 for 4, 2B, K .259/.335/.373

Dimino has been crushing it for Kingsport lately.

Torres is definitely an underrated arm to watch next year in Columbia. Taylor has struggled since returning from Tommy John Surgery, but that is to be expected.

GCL Mets 10 (17-22), GCL Astros 3 (16-24) Box Score

Oh hey, look at that, it’s Carpio. He’s on his way back and is scheduled to DH for the rest of the year in the Gulf Coast League.

Debora has struck out 15 in his last 10.2 innings pitched.

DSL Pirates1 8 (24-33), DSL Mets1 2 (34-23) Box Score

Gimenez was replaced in the 8th for Claudio Geraldo for some unknown reason.

DSL Mets2 3 (18-39), DSL Astros Orange 1 (24-32) Box Score

The Valdez family is doing pretty well in the DSL. The Mets2 team won a game!!!

Taveras was sitting in the low-90’s as an 18 year old, reaching 93.

    Since returning from his injury … Rosario is 8 for 11 on BABIP. Looks like a SLIGHT regression might be in order (7Ks in 19 AB).

  2. Jerry Grote

    Question to those that have seen him: Is David Thompson as challenged as a fielder as his numbers indicate? A .939 fielding percentage??? Given, fielding percentage isn’t everything but looks like a red flag.

  3. Mike Francesser

    More than half of those Ks came in one game.

  4. MetsNextYear

    Anyone know, are Rosario and Smith expected to start next season in Binghamton and go mid season to Las Vegas? Seems like you cannot keep Rosario down there too long.

  5. Not4

    As Smith will have played an entire season at AA, I think its safe to assume that he will start the year at AAA.

    Have not heard anything on Rosario, but would assume its a jump ball right now and may depend upon how he finishes up the year. I’d assume that the Mets do not want to rush him, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start the year in Bingo, with a relatively quick call up to Vegas if he continues to handle AA.

  6. Michael Mayer

    I see little reason for either of them NOT to start in Vegas next year.

  7. Michael Mayer

    He’s been solid to be and outplayed the previous scouting reports on his defense.

  8. Michael Mayer

    He’s definitely going to K more and most likely finish around .320ish would be my guess.

  9. MetsNextYear

    Thanks guys. This is my first year following the minors at all, so I don’t fully understand how it works. I was missing out for years. its so exciting.

  10. Jerry Grote

    True.
    But take those 4 ABs out and his BABIP ratio is still in the stratosphere.

  11. Jerry Grote

    encouraging, but … hate to be a cup half full kind of guy, if a .938 fielding percentage is outplaying scouting reports he must have been a helluva roll of the dice.

    He’s hitting a ton and you can’t have enough slugging 3B.

  12. Michael Mayer

    To be honest with you I rarely even look at fielding percentage in the minor leagues.
