Coney Island Babies: The Brooklyn Cyclones in 2018

Edgy MD Jun 17 2018 12:17 PM

The Brooklyn Cyclones are almost never bad. Whether by marketing strategy or just good work, the Mets’ New York-Penn League affiliate never finished with a losing record from 2001 to 2014, but have the last three seasons, bottoming out at 24-52 last season. While some factions were lobbying for Edgardo Alfonso to take over as Mets manager, he was spending his first year skippering in the low minors, his team limping home with a .315 winning percentage, easily their worst-ever. Whie certainly at least some of that can and shouldbe laid at Alfonso’s feet, the team also dealt with the three-pronged trident of injuries higher up in the system sucking talent away, injuries and absences to some of the best pitchers in the lower levels (Peterson, Kay, Szapucki), and some of the higher 2017 draft choices among the hitters (Matt Winaker, Quinn Brodey) landing with a thud. Riding smoothly through waves of instability is nonetheless the name of the game in the lower minors, and the Mets have sought to provide Alfonso more support this season, adding veteran major and minor league coach and manager Rich Donnelly as bench coach. Donnelly had previously served as Cyclones manager from 2011 to 2013 and returns as part of Alfonso’s staff after a second terrible tragedy struck his family. (Tim Kurkjian has the story here.) Marlon Anderson replaces Sean Ratliff as batting coach, having previously served in that role with the Nationals' South Atlantic League affiliate in Hagerstown, before spending the last five years in broadcasting with the Phillies. No fewer than six 2018 draftees have already joined Alfonso’s team, and more should cycle in as the season progresses. David Thompson, a AAA-quality player, is opening with the team on a rehab assignment, having been out since April with an injury. Reliever Seth Davis and indy league infield vet José Brizuela also seem to be playing in a league beneath their level. Athletic outfielder Kendall Coleman tries to reclaim his career after being traded from the Yankees for former Cyclone L.J. Mazzilli, who has had the good grace to not flourish after the trade. Speaking of the Yankees, the 'Clones opened the season on Friday losing to the Staten Island Yankees 3-1, mustering only three hits in the contest. Just as you're thinking “Same old shit,” though, they came back strong yesterday, soundly thrashing the Yankees 7-0 as Briam Campusano threw six no-hit innings, before being lifted after only 64 pitches, because we can’t have good things. Relievers Ezequiel Zabaleta and Mac Lozer got the job done however, giving up just one hit in three innings between them. Coleman, who shares none of Mazzilli’s coyness about making his old organization regret a trade, struck the big blow with a fifth-inning grand slam, thrilling the home crowd and breaking his old teammates’ hearts. With game three underway as I type, the Clones lead the Yankees in Staten Island 2-0 in the top of the second, with recent 26th-round draft choice out of Missouri Brian Sharp (3b) hitting his first career homer. So far, Cyclones starters have thrown 12 innings, allowing no runs on five hits, walking 3 and striking out 8.

Edgy MD Jul 07 2018 08:14 PM Re: Coney Island Babies: The Brooklyn Cyclones in 2018

Having just tied their game against the rival Staten Island Yankees at 2-2 in the sixth, the Brooklyn Cyclones look to improve on their 11-10 record. That might not sound like much, but it's within striking distance of first place in the New York-Penn League McNamara Division, 2 1/2 games out of first, and showing some vast improvement on the dis-spiriting 24-52 finish of 2017. The team is laying it all out there with a low-power, high average old-timey attack, led by rightfielder Jose Miguel Medina, (.306 / .383 / .486 // .869) and firstbaseman Chase Chambers (.333 / .421 / .424 // .845). The two of them despite hitting the ball all over the park, have only a one homer apiece, despite playing in 17 and 18 games respectively. If that disappoints you, look at those OBPs again. Them numbers don't lie. And despite the team leader (thirdbaseman Brian Sharp) having only two homers, the team has stolen 18 of 25 attempted bases, good for 72%, and almost one per game. Is that going to get it done? Well, it might if it's put to work while Jaison Vilera is on the mound. JV has twirled it to the tune of a 1.86 ERA in his four starts so far, striking out 25 and walking eight in 19 1/3 innings. That's not a lot of innings per start, granted, but it helps when you have the likes of Yeudy Colón coming out of the pen. UD has picked up three wins against no losses while compiling a too-small to mention 0.93 ERA, giving up but a single run in his first 9 2/3 innings, striking out 16 (!!) while walking five. You want to be at the game when Colón is pitching. But hey, that's a feeling we've all felt before. I need to type faster. Since I started this post, Staten Island scored a run in the eighth from a Junior Soto homer off of Brooklyn reliever Billy Oxford. A big BOOOOOOO!!!! on that. Brooklyn's Nazi-sounding outfielder Ross Adolph had two steals in three attempts.

RealityChuck Jul 19 2018 09:38 AM Re: Coney Island Babies: The Brooklyn Cyclones in 2018

The Cyclones were in town last night, playing the Tri-City ValleyCats and I managed to get to the game. Great seats, too -- right behind home plate (you could see the scouts with radar guns watching the action). The Cyclones won it 11-5. Jose Medina had two home runs and Anthony Cirocie was 2 for 4 with three RBIs. Christian James gave up a three-run homer in the first (negating a three-run top of the inning, where the ValleyCats starter couldn't find the plate and was pulled after 2/3rds of a inning), but nothing else. The Mets scored four in the fourth, with Medina's first HR (3 runs) the big hit. I had a great time. It was a perfect night for a game.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 19 2018 09:44 AM Re: Coney Island Babies: The Brooklyn Cyclones in 2018

who are the Valley Cats associated with?

Edgy MD Jul 19 2018 09:46 AM Re: Coney Island Babies: The Brooklyn Cyclones in 2018

Medina was a one-man wrecking crew last night. Also started the action in the first with a single and a stolen base, coming around to score the first of three Brooklyn runs in the opening inning. He's having a strong season, but he's repeating Brooklyn. He spent some time at Columbia and (briefly) St. Lucie also last year.

Edgy MD Jul 30 2018 09:57 AM Re: Coney Island Babies: The Brooklyn Cyclones in 2018

A six-of-ten record over the last 10 for the Brooklyn Cyclones doesn’t really sum up how strong Edgardo Alfonzo’s forces have been. The Clones pitchers have produced two shutouts in the last 10 games and have been in control of the game and keeping opposing offenses in check most nights. I don’t like to keep going back to the same well, but Jaison Vilera has stepped it up from notable to stupefying. I mean, he looks at Jacob deGrom’s season and thinks, “That’s cute.” His seven scoreless, two-hit innings yesterday against the West Virginia Black Bears not only advanced his record to 5-1, but lowered his ERA to 0.78. IT’S STUPID! His WHIP is now down 0.83, and 0.95 for his career. He’s struck out 56 in 46 innings while walking only 15. He’s yet to allow a homer. The guy is now in his third season of professional ball and his highest ERA over any season has been 1.88. Call him up NOW!!! OK, maybe not. But let’s get him on the fast track. [fimg=450]http://metsminors.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Screen-Shot-2018-07-29-at-6.52.09-PM.png[/fimg] Emerging in the bullpen has been this season’s fifth-round draftee out of Clemson, Ryley Gilliam. The right-hander from Braves’ territory (Marietta, GA) also pitched in yesterday’s West Virginia game linked above is unscored upon in his first six pro innings, striking out nine while walking two. It looks like the Roberto Alomar trade is still paying dividends for the Mets as Brooklyn pitching coach Royce Ring has his pitching staff humming on all cylinders. [fimg=600]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jHDSj7x56Pg/maxresdefault.jpg[/fimg] Briefly mentioned in passing above is 2018 12th-rounder Ross Adolph but he’s now emerging (emerged?) as the ‘Clones top offensive threat. Zipping along with a balanced batting line of .283 / .362 /.469 // .831, Ross also leads the team with 7 stolen bases (against 2 times caught stealing). Doesn't fuck around on defense, either. [fimg=600]http://thecourier.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/vbvvanb05.jpg[/fimg] After a craptastic 2017, the Brooklyn representatives in the New York-Penn League now find themselves in a more familiar position of serious contention, but at 23-19, still sit 4 1/2 games behind the Tampa Affiliate Hudson Valley Renegades, and a 1/2 game back of the rival Staten Island Yankees in The New York-Penn League McNamara Division. Head on out to the beach tonight to see them hosing the Tri-City ValleyCats as #2 starter Christian James takes the hill against the top team in the New England-oriented New York-Penn League Stedler Division.

He don't look like much at first glance, and he's been given a chance to neither start nor close in Brooklyn, but the chances he's been given, he's made the most of. With another 1 1/3 scorless innings tossed yesterday, including stranding two inherited runners, he picked up the win and ran his record to 7-1, and lowered his ERA to a blink-and-you'll-miss-it 1.43 for the Cyclone bullpen. He even took a brief trip to St. Lucie where he threw another 3 1/3 scoreless, bringing his overall ERA down to 1.32. The Arizonan does it by keeping the ball down and inside the park. He even had a successful appearance in the New York-Penn League All-Star Game. The win over the Hudson Valley Renegades featured a key double and triple from Wagner LaGrange and a homer from centerfielder Anthony Dirocie and was nothing short of HEWJ. It pulled the Clones within three games for the first-place Renegades, with their tragic number holding at 3.0. The same two teams meet tonight in Brooklyn with (I think) the red-hot Christian James (4-1 / 1.76) on the mound.

Edgy MD Nov 15 2018 08:53 PM Re: Coney Island Babies: The Brooklyn Cyclones in 2018

'Twas an important bounceback year in 2018 for the Brooklyn Cyclones. The Coney Island squad hadn't had a losing season in any of their first 14 seasons. It was a terrific track record of quality ball from the Babies. But then, in 2015, the worm turned, and in the next three years, they turned in three sub-.500, second devision campaigns, reaching a nadir with a 24-52 record in 2017. So when I salute their 40-35 record this past season, I celebrate more than their .533 winning percentage. The returned from the Cliffs of Irrelevance and probably saved Edgardo Alfonzo's managing career. They did it, as usual for the Mets, with pitching first. The 'Clones featured a 1-2 pitching punch of Christian James and Jaison Vilera. The former threw 71 2/3 to the tune of a 2.01. He seemingly did it with smoke and mirrors, because the peripherals aren't quite there. He struck out 45 and walked 20 in those 71 2/3 innings. He also gave up but four homers. But while the 2016 14th-rounder does likely move on to the prospect lists (at least, the ones that go deeper), he'll be no quickie. Having no such pedigree problems is teammate Vilera. Brooklyn was Vilera's playground this season as he put up as sub-2.00 ERA for the third straight season. Vilera was dominant (deGrominant?) in all aspects —not only charting a 1.83 ERA over 73 2/3 innings, but whiffing 78, walking 22, and giving up just a single homer. The weird part is his performance actually raised his career ERA to 1.78, while mostly starting. He even has a 13-4 W-L record for his career. A solid pen was led by lefthander Kevin Smith and righthander Tommy Wilson. While neither was in Mallrats or Back to the Future they really made their names their own this summer by the beach, as Smith gave up just two runs in 23 2/3 innings, for a Eckersley-esque ERA of 0.76. He struck out 28, walked six, and WHIPped to the astonishingly low 0.761. Griff Tannen was nearly as good, putting up a 1.23 ERA in 22 innings, striking out 27 and walking but seven. That's the power of love! On offense, rookie Ross Adolph got past his regrettable name to put up some team-leading numbers, the recent 12th-round draft pick out of The University of Toledo slugged seven homers while slashing .276 / .348 / .509 // .857. A combination of 12 triples (leading the New York-Penn League) and 14 stolen bases suggests the outfielder may have an intriguing power/speed combination. His outfield All-Star buddy was Jose Medina. The 21-year-old Dominican had been over his head in a few months in Columbia in 2017, but he was young enough to step back for a reset, and that's what he found in Brooklyn, going .271 / .342 / .429 // .770. He's reportedly smoothed out a noisy swing, and put on some muscle, so he may have a future yet. So that was a pretty good year, finishing only a few game back, andThe Alfonzo Story gets to continue.
