I don’t understand why we have to continue to watch Romero be a butcher at SS.
Gibson leads off the game for Binghamton with a walk.
Gets thrown out trying to steal second but he was safe. Lopez came out to argue already.
If they planned on not starting Rosario in Binghamton way back in Dece6, they should have signed a glove first minor league filler. (Tovar?)
Gsellman has allowed a run already with one out in the first inning. RBI ground out.
That would have been a great idea, Romero has been okay offensive but he sucks in the field to put it nicely.
2-0 now, former big leaguer Nate Freiman with a RBI double.
He has a role…just not as an everyday SS.
Definitely, I guess it’s just some of my frustration showing with him playing there over Gibson and McNeil being injured.
Dom Smith flies out to center field on about 380 foot fly ball on 0-2 count.
Good to see Becerra back in right field after a couple of games at DH. I’m calling a homer tonight.
Rosario lines out to the pitcher in his first at bat.
Gsellman has now retired seven straight with two strikeouts, B-Mets trail 1-0 headed to the 4th inning.
Valid frustration
Knapp allows three runs in the first inning for St. Lucie. This staff desperately needs a starter that misses bats.
Kevin Taylor singles in his first at bat, hitting streak at 11 games.
Dom Smith with a single to RF in his first at bat, average up to .293.
RBI groundout by Amed Rosario gets St.Lucie on the board in the 6th inning. They trail 3-1
Becerra 0 for 3 so far tonight, average down to .402
Binghamton losing 6-0 in the 7th. Gsellman went 5 allowing three runs.
Thomas McIlraith with 5 scoreless innings for the @ColaFireflies so far tonight.
Matt Oberste launches a two-run homer for Binghamton in the 9th inning.
They trail 6-2 but have two guys on.
Vegas lineup being put in now, no Nimmo.
Binghamton loses 6-2, Oberste homers for second straight game, Dom 1 for 4.
Fireflies tied at 1 in the 7th, Kaczmarski has reached base twice and Ivan Wilson made a great catch.
