Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

Edgy MD

Do you like Mets prospects? Well, I don't know anybody who doesn't!



And that's why, if you live in Cola Town, you are one lucky son of a bitch.



Look, I know I'm so late with this post that the Columbia Fireflies roster has already absorbed several transactions, and after taking a 7-2 nutpunch this afternoon from their South Carolina rivals, The Charleston RiverDogs, they have dropped to 1-3, suggesting we would have done well to be following these guys earlier. But the fact remains that this — THIS! — is the place to get your Met prospect mojo working in 2019. Pimply-faced teenagers looking to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!



Take shortstop Ronny Mauricio. The Ronburger is the Mets #3 prospect (according to MLB.com) and is 5-for-his-first-15, having just turned 18 three days ago. He is being pushed, having spent most of last season in the GCL, playing just eight games at Kingsport, jumping right over Brooklyn to become a Firefly. While he's performed well despite being far below the age mean wherever he's been, he's got the typical shortcomings of speedy guys who get pushed. He whiffs too much and walks too little.



He is from San Juan de Macoris, where magic fills the air and flows in the water and feeds the soil. Some people call him MAURICE! He's terrific, but it's OK to slow down and let a guy learn the plate, Mets.



You've had your fill of Mo? Well, take Mark Vientos. The strapping 6'4" 185-pounder was a second-rounder out of high school in 2017, and now, even though he's getting pushed off shortstop by Mauricio, Keith Law has him as the team's #1 prospect and #60 in all of baseball. A .287 / .389 / .489 // .878 line last year in Kingsport, with 11 homers in only 60 games has definitely raised his stock. While Law's ranking is an outlier, he's rising on a lot of lists.



Those guys are on offense? You want pitching, take big powerful Simeon Woods-Richardson. Sim Score is MLB's #7 Mets prospect, and it looks like the Mets are going to work him as a starter. He struck out 26 in 17 1/3 innings last year, walking only four. Those are numbers that make me think things, but again, let's see what he does in a full-season league. He's from Sugar Land, Texas, one of the growing pockets of baseball civilization, in a football-dominant state.



I know what you're thinking. I do. You're thinking, "Top international free agents from San Pedro de Marcoris?!! Second-round picks out of high school with their asses filled with helium?! Gosh, Edgy, that's a mouthful of prospect hot sauce!!"



Yes, yes, it is. But would you believe me if I told you ... there's more?



Well, there is! How about another traffic-stopping teen-aged infielder?! Shervyen Newton is your switch-hitting dynamo out of the Netherlands. He's got an advanced approach at the plate for his age, a metric ton of walks already in his young career, the defensive tools to stick at short if Mauricio gets out of the fucking way, and ass that won't quit. The dude has a career ISOBP of .135. MLB.com says he's the Mets #5 prospect, but I say he's supergood, and if he makes it (WTF am I saying?!! WHEN he makes it!), he'll be the first Met ever out of mainland Holland.



Am I telling you that Columbia is packing three of the top five Mets prospects? And four of the top seven? No, I'm not. MLB.com is telling you that. But I bet there's some consensus. What more could you ask of this team?



How about Thomas Szapucki?



That's right, the lefthander with a great fastball-curve combo, who has been sequined dynamite whenever he's been on the mound, currently MLB's #9 prospect, will be on the mound this season for Columbia. Yeah, he's been hurt, and he missed 2018 with Tomás Juan surgery, but now he's back out there, and anything they get out of him will be awesome. This is his recovery year, so if he flourishes, every night will be pizza night.



That's five of the top nine, if you're still keeping score.



Listen, I'm gonna need you to calm the fuck down. I know you're planning on emptying out your 401K and moving down to Columbia. I mean, five of the top nine prospects in one uniform? But here's the deal, if you live in the New York area, or perhaps in near one of the cities of their division rivals, you get to see the BIG KAHUNA, #1 prospect Pete Alonso, who's already getting it done in the Show.



But if you want further enticement, let me rap to you about Christian James. CJ — the family calls him CJ — is a righthander who destroyed the New York Penn League last season, amassing a 2.01 ERA over 71 2/3 innings without a big pile of strikeouts. He even pitched a game each with St. Loo and Bingo, where he should have been in over his head, but instead gave up one run over nine innings between the two. CJ starts down here in Columbia, but will probably spend more time in St. Lucie, so encourage your Palmetto State friends to root for him while they can. He came out of the same Florida high school as Eric Hanhold, so tip your hat to whatever bird dog scout the Mets sent down there.



That guy is MLB.com's #26 prospect. If he finds a strikeout pitch — and Gsellman has shown those can sometimes come late — he'll shoot up that chart like

a monkey shimmying up a cocoanut tree. In fact, it'll be EXACTLY like that.



If you give a guy one point for being MLB.com's #30 Met prospect, and 30 points for being their #1 prospect, and similarly grade everybody in between, there are 465 prospect points available. Score them that way, and 132 points worth of prospect juice are being poured from the taps down in Columbia — that's 28.4% of all the juice in the system.



If all that doesn't make your heart flutter, consider the case of infielder Edgardo Fermin. Edgy hasn't yet been deployed by the Flies, and considering the boy band's worth of teen infielders, you can guess why. The dude's full name is Edgardo ALFONZO Fermin. I don't know if he's a member of the extended Fonzie family, or he was perhaps named after the Fonz, but he was born in Venezuela in 1998, so perhaps he was named for our guy. It would be cool if he was the missing link between the Alfonzo and Fermin families of MLB.



That's the deal. How this pile of excellence is 1-4 so far is an historical accident. Victories will come, and will pile one on top of the other. Beyond counting. If you watch this team, even on occasion, with one eye, that is what you will see. You'll tell your grandkids about this team.



Or, maybe not. I'm not really sure. I mean, that might happen — who knows? — but it's baseball, and who can predict it?

Until I see Luc Rennie actually play in a baseball game, I will believe in the bottom of my heart that he is really a hockey player.

Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

As we note with sadness the fall of Columbia this evening to the Lexington Legends by a football-like score of 14-3, we have some HOLY SHIT! news from the South Atlantic League. NFL veteran Bradley Marquez has joined the squad. Bradley Madly was drafted by the Mets way back in 2011, round 16. But as he toiled away in the minors, he continued to play football, and upon his finishing up of school, joined the NFL's St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent, leaving behind two undistinguished partial seasons with the Kingsport Mets.



For five years he toiled as a reserve receiver and special teamer, but the Mets seemed to persistently keep him on the roster of their minor league teams. Now, after half a decade of earning some serious coin getting his head smashed in, The Lord of the Marq has returned to his first love.



He's still only 26, but this will still be a tough shot. Welcoming him back at the A-Ball level, it looks like maybe they're trying to give him the same latecomer route as Tim Tebow, forcing him as many reps as possible in the full-season leagues, and maybe give him half a season at each level, and see if he can handle the accelerated plan.



More than once, I figured that Marquez was still appearing on rosters because of a clerical error. But no, here he is after five years in the desert. Yeah, he'll likely never get to the bigs, but if he somehow pulls it off, the Mets could have two NFL vets in one outfield.



Marquez is 1-for-7 so far. Welcome back!!



The news is far more interesting these days if your name is Walter Rasquin. The young Venezuelan infielder has been tearing it up since the start of the season, hitting .364 / .636 / .364 // 1.000 shrough the team's first seven games. He deserves the number 13, despite having missed half of 2018 serving hard time for a PED suspension.



Simeon Woods Richardson is setting the pace among starters, being un-scored upon in 2019. But so far, that has only accounted for 4 2/3

innings for the team, with both of his starts being abbreviated. Perhaps the team is experimenting with the "opening pitcher" strategy, but I suspect they are trying to limit innings for a guy coming off of surgery, and he'll get more typical workdays as the season progresses.



Mashing out of the pen so far has been the hardy work Ezequiel Zabaleta, who has been untouched in his first four outings, totaling 4.0 innings, with five strikeouts and no walks.



This is where the Mets prospects show the most beefiness, and Columbia is always a lovely place to visit.



Won't you buy some tickets and cheer to victory the Mets of the Future?!

Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

When you visit Columbia, be sure to eat at The Lizzard's Thicket.

https://www.lizardsthicket.com/food-menus/

Lunch is a meat and two sides (your choice) and there are always biscuits and cornbread on the table.

Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

It's hard to get too excited over Marquez' return when I look at this shot, him taking what he hoped would be a huge hack, only to get fooled by the pitch's break and end up overextended. The ball sits calmly in the dirt, un-noticed by both batter and catcher, looking up at him as if thinking, "Nice try, dumbass."



http://metsminors.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/5C754A9E-CC85-4A65-A3AB-8E4688A46878.jpeg>



But then you see this vid of his first hit since returning, and, well, it's only one hit, but you get a taste of what NFL receiver/special teamer athleticism can look like on a baseball field and you think, "God, I hope he figures this game out."



He drives one down the left field line, but he tears so much ass on the basepaths, you get the idea he could have had a triple on it.

Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

Down 3-2 with two out in the bottom of the ninth with no one on base, your Columbia Fireflies rallied last night to blow the minds of the the Hickory Crawdads, and escape with a 4-3 walkoff victory.
[list]

  • =#FF0000]Hickory leads, 3-2.

  • [*]Brian Sharp called out on strikes. =#FF0000]One out.

  • [*]Juan Uriarte grounds out sharply, shortstop Chris Seise to first baseman Sherten Apostel. =#FF0000]Two out.

  • [*]Wagner Lagrange singles on a sharp line drive to center fielder Pedro Gonzalez.

  • [*]Offensive Substitution: Pinch-runner Chandler Avant replaces Wagner Lagrange.

  • [*]Anthony Dirocie singles on a sharp line drive to center fielder Pedro Gonzalez. Chandler Avant to 3rd.

  • [*]Bradley Marquez singles on a sharp line drive to center fielder Pedro Gonzalez. Chandler Avant scores. Anthony Dirocie to 3rd. =#FF0000]Game tied, 3-3.

  • [*]Wild pitch by pitcher Scott Engler. Bradley Marquez to 2nd.

  • [*]Scott Engler intentionally walks Ronny Mauricio.

  • [*]Walter Rasquin singles on a sharp ground ball to second baseman Jonathan Ornelas. Anthony Dirocie scores. Bradley Marquez to 3rd. Ronny Mauricio to 2nd. =#FF0000]Columbia wins, 4-3!
  • [/list]

    The fans go crazy, swelling onto the field, the turf gets torn up, mounted police get called in, the mayor calls a curfew, but that doesn't stop the Columbia faithful from marching through the streets with Rasquin on their shoulders, beating drums, blaring horns, banging on trash cans ... . Joy spread across the city like a virus, children filled their diaries with tales of the funnest day ever, reminding themselves that someday they will tell their grandkids of the Walkoff Win over Hickory.



    That's the way the aftermath went down in my head, anyhow. And for all I know it was true. But the part about the comeback win has certainly been verified, raising the Flies record to 6-4 over the last 10, 7-7 overall, and only one game out of first in the South Atlantic League South Division. It grabs the opener of a three-game set with the Crawdads, who came into the game with a 10-3 record, second-best in the entire league. (The best, by the way, are the Delmarva Shorebirds, currently riding a 10-game winning streak. Not all the news is bad for the Baltimore organization.)



    You blink and you'll miss it, but one of the coolest things in that late rally was the penultimate play: Hickory walking Ronny Mauricio. Given a chance to choose their poison with the game on the line, The Hicks walked Mauricio — the youngest guy on the team, and possibly the youngest in the league, having just turned 18 a week or two ago. They weren't crazy to do so. Some-People-Call-Me-Mauricio had two four-hit games already this week, and has upped his line to .345 / .390 / .400 // .790. That batting average is good for third in the whole circuit! Did I mention he was just a bebe? And he's a shortstop, too. Yeah, he hasn't walked much, but hopefully that free pass suggests that his hitting will help generate walks.



    Thomas Szapucki is being brought along real slowly in his return from Tommy John surgery. While he has only gone three innings in his two starts, they've been three shutout innings. Reports say he was getting swings and misses, even though the velocity was only 91-93. The Mets have pulled him back, demoting him to the Brooklyn roster, which effectively means more extended spring training. Hopefully it's just building up arm strength and confidence. Reports say his breaking stuff was all there, however. I suspect that if they can't get him where they want by mid-season, they will be switching him to a relief track.



    And, you know, when a person talks about relief, it's not long before the name Willy Taveras comes up. Heaven must be missing an angel, because Willie leads the team in innings pitched despite pitching exclusively out of the bullpen. Through 14 1/3 innings, Where There's a Will has a sub 1.00 WHIP and a 1.26 ERA. He has struck out 13 and walked 3. I suspect that Little Willy won't go home anytime soon.



    But this series against Hickory ... this is the big test of this young season. The team has declared it Copa de Diversión weekend, filling the park with all sorts of things popular amongst our pan-Latin fans, which is guaranteed to be ... at least a little condescending. Dedniel Nuñez toes the rubber tonight, looking to build on his 2-0 record.

    Down 3-2 with two out in the bottom of the ninth with no one on base, your Columbia Fireflies rallied last night to blow the minds of the the Hickory Crawdads, and escape with a 4-3 walkoff victory.


    Well, when those two teams get together you can pretty much throw out the record book.

    Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

    It's early, but The Columbia Fireflies' 5-3 loss to The Charleston RiverDogs this evening served as their seventh fall in their last 10 contests, and dropped them into last place in the South Atlantic League Southern Division. Yeah, they're tied for last with The Asheville Tourists, and yeah, at this juncture, last place only means three games off the pace, but last place ain't where you want to be.



    But you know who doesn't want to hear about it? Outfielder Wagner LaGrange doesn't want to hear about it. If I know anything about nomenclature, I know that if a guy on TV or in the movies has two last names, he's got a big guy in his pants. And if he's got two last names and one is German and the other French, while he's from the Dominican Republic? That guy is literally not to be fucked with.



    And few have been able to successfully fuck with young Wagner in those last 10 games, over which he is hitting .333 / .352 / .485 // .837, bringing his growing overall line up to .283 / .327 / .413 // .740. Many guys speak derisively of the Atlantic League as "the bushes," but LaGrange gives no shits, as he's from a town called Las Matas de Farfan — literally "The Bushes of Farfan."



    So he's go that going for him.



    Hey, you know who's getting the lousy deGrom luck this season? A Columbia starter named Christian James. The Magic Christian threw five innings without an earned run last night, but two outfield errata cost him two earned runs, and that allowed him to take the loss — par for the course for a guy with an 0-3 record despite a perfectly acceptable 3.93 ERA.



    But that ERA is unthinkably massive if you are, say, José Moreno. Jo-Jo got a late start on his season, but has hit the ground running since mid-month. Yeah, his 3 2/3 innings of shutout ball is a miniscule sample size, but a 0.00 ERA is even more persuasive when there's also a big fat zero under his hits column.



    That's right. The next hit he allows this season will be his first. The action picks up again tomorrow evening as Simeon Woods-Richardson hopes to continue his string of good performances and help get his team back on track. LIGHT THE SPARK, SIM!!

    Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

    While the Mets dealt out a 1-0 victory yesterday, their Columbia affiliate was getting tagged by the same score going in the opposite direction. The DelMarVa Shorebirds held the Fireflies to four hits and made the one run they scored off of reliever Billy Oxford stand up.



    Listen, there's no easy way to break this to you. Remember when the Fireflies were 7-7 and sitting just off the pace? Yeah, it's not like that anymore. They've gone 1-11 since then and own sole possession of last place in The South Atlantic League Southern Division. They're getting their hfeads handed to them on a pretty regular basis and it's time that stopped.



    Yesterday's 5 2/3 shutout innings was the second straight solid outing for starter Jóse Butto, following 2 1/3 shutout innings in his lone relief appearance earlier in the week. That's 9 2/3 straight scoreless innings, so if this turns around, maybe it'll be Jóse Butto — fresh off of being named to the Mets Organization All-Porny-Sounding Names Team — that helps lead the turnaround.



    Someone who doesn't need turning around, though, is reliever (and 2018 14th-round draft choice out of Auburn) Andrew Mitchell. The Mitchblade has started his season on a torrid run, giving up only one run so far in 10 1/3 innings over eight games. With his current streak at 9 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings. Striking out 15 and walking five so far in the young season, DJ/AM is looking even more intriguing when you recall he put up a 0.75 ERA last year in 12 innings at Kingsport and a 1.64 number in 11 more innings with Brooklyn.



    Go on, take out your calculators. That's a net of a 1.08 career ERA over his first 33 1/3 innings. BRILLIANT!!



    But, you know how it goes. You don't go on a 1-11 run without a cascade failure in a big part of your game. And while that failure has been across the board on offense, Brian Sharp has done what he can to hold back the seas of suck. The secondbaseman is doing the low batting average/decent power thing, and while he's hit .229 the last 10 game, his broader line of .229 / .308 / .343 // .651 over that period is ... well, it's still pretty bad, but it's about as good as it has gotten with this offense.



    But the turnaround starts tonight as Willie Taveras takes the mound against The Lexington Legends.



    Drink will flow and blood will spill.

    Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

    A whole lot of transactions have been flying back and forth with the Columbia Fireflies, so it's easy to miss one that shines a little brighter than the rest. But the Flies have activated Gerson Molina.



    It's easy to shrug that one off. We've seen a few Gersons come and go and a couple of Molinas as well. But this GM is a little more unique. A signee out of Cuba, he hasn't played since 2016, so projecting what they've got in him is nearly impossible. But he's tall and athletic and where the track record that couldn't recommend him, the scouts could.



    Gerson the Person came through in his first game out of the box, ripping a hit to left in his first professional plate appearance. and hustling in for a standup double. He'd finish 2-4 with 3 RBI(!), including one in the ninth during a comeback that the team could not complete. There's obviously a lot of rust there (he got picked off), but that's why they've held him out until now.



    Bradley Marquez was placed on the injured list to make room for Molina, which basically proves everything: IMMIGRANTS ARE STEALING OUR JOBS!!



    Molina's debut came at a desperate time. It was the team's third loss in a row and ninth in their last 10, dropping them in DFL in the South Atlantic League Southern Division with and horrific .281 winning percentage. Manager Pedro Lopez has been in the organization a while and skippered some good teams, but this showing after crapping out with Las Vegas last year has got to be a painful wake-up call.



    St. Lucie needed some pitching, and when voices were tossed around, somebody remembers the 5 2/3-inning start by Dedniel Nuñez back in April when he struck out 10 and walked none. While he's had some pretty good games since then, that one left an imprint on the organization's memory, and got the callup that has left the Flies that much poorer.



    Good luck, Dedniel. Considering the Fireflies' performance, congratulations are due twice over. Once for the promotion and a second time for the escape.



    Are you sick of walks? I think we all can say that we are. When relievers come into a situation with the tying or go-ahead runs on and they're afraid to throw a strike. Well, that stinks. But Ezequiel Zabaleta? He ain't that guy. Zeke the Freak comes into games and throws strike after strike. In his first 15 innings, he's struck out 18 and walked but one. He's done this at every level, with strikeout/walk ratios of 8, 9, or 10 to 1. Every level except Kingsport back in 2017, so I'm just going to write that off to crappy Appalachian League umping, and declare EZ's control to be the real thing. He gives up the occasional homer, but isn't a punch in the face better than death by a thousand cuts? Plus he's got a 2.40 ERA after a 1.50 figure across two levels in 2018. There's a good chance you won't have to choose a death all.



    It gives me no joy to say this, since Columbia started the season with a lot of the Mets' top-ranked prospects, but the offense is still a shitpile. Root like hell for this Gerson Molina guy. As I wrote, he's unknown, but he's older, and he's Cuban, and if anybody is going to lead this offense's turnaround, he's as good a bet as any. He's got one game under his belt and he's one RBI short of ninth on the team.



    The search for some sort of turnaround continues today as the Flies head to Coastal Carolina to take on the … team there, with Christian James putting his 0-4 / 6.00 record on the line.

    I think I need to stop ending the week with the Firefly Report. It's been a bummer. Here's Woody Guthrie.

    Amazingly, despite the Fireflies taking the field tonight with a pitcher who has a 6.00 ERA, and the home team starting a twirler with a figure of 1.23, the Flies jumped ahead 3-0 in the first and held on for the 3-1 victory.



    A big part of it was swapping out Christian James and going instead with newly re-activated Colin Holderman to start.

    He hits right handed and plays center field.

    Put him on the fast track.

    Molina went deep again last night in the second game of Columbia's double-header against the Rome Braves. He's scarcely played since 2016, he's been around a little over a week, and he's already the team's best hitter.



    Columbia, who swept the twin-bill, were the only team in the organization in action yesterday. St. Lucie and Binghamton were rained out, while New York and Syracuse were both enjoying a scheduled day off. That makes yesterday an organizational sweep!

    https://secure.milb.com/assets/images/6/6/4/247698664/cuts/1280x720/cut.jpg>



    i guess 5-5 over the last 10 isn't a juggernaut's pace, but for Columbia, it's been a big step in righting a ship that has been taking on water and seriously listing. Last night's 3-1 win over the questionably named Augusta Greenjackets put them on the top step of the cellar, still in last place but a mere half game behind the sixth-place Asheville Tourists — eight games out of first, but there are a lot of teams between here and there.



    Speaking of here and there, infielder/outfilder Hansel Moreno woke up yesterday a St. Lucie Met, but went to bed a Columbia Firefly. He can't be too happy with the demotion, but at least, rather than wreck the clubhouse, the young man wrecked the ballpark, going 3-5 in his first game back with a homerun and a stolen base. Maybe between this sort of strategic demotion now and then, and the odd mystery Cuban, this team might find some offensive vigor, eventually. As it is, they're still DFL in offense among the circuit, and it isn't particularly close.



    To be straight and chaste with you, the rotation hasn't been burying a lot of teams either. At least they hadn't been before Colin Holderman came along. The 6'7" 2016 draftee has just returned from missing all of 2018 and more with a trip to Tommy John Camp. Well, write that surgeon's name down because he is back in a big way, winning each of his first three starts while chalking up a 1.76 ERA. As a rehabber, he shouldn't even be getting deep enough into games to get the win, but a 0.85 WHIP and a .157 batting average against has allowed him to finish five innings in each turn, despite pitch count limits. HE'S THAT GOOD!!



    But when talking about good, we should talk about reliever José Moreno. We've already talked about Hansel Moreno, but this is a different guy. A pitching guy. And a pretty stingy pitching guy. José's 2.77 ERA is third-best among Firefly firemen, and frankly, he walks too many. But he keeps most of those guys from coming around to score. That may be a house of cards, but THAT'S OK, because José's brother Angel Moreno is a slugging outfielder in the Cardinals organization. And it's his twin brother too, so if this pitching thing doesn't work out, you KNOW he's got the DNA to swing a bat.



    Swinging bats are going to make or break this team, and so far, it's been more of the latter, and that's why they need YOUR support tonight as they take on Augusta one more time, deploying Thomas Szapucki of T(h)om(as)s River, NJ in a game that could mean escape from the cellar, hopefully for the long haul.



    Show some pride, 'Flies!!

    Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

    With three names and one hyphen, Simeon Woods-Richardson could have been an actor on the Cosby Show.

    Without the hyphen, he could have been a serial killer (bowing in the direction of a long-ago thread).

    Your final tonight is 4-1, The Columbia Fireflies falling to The Greenville Drive, as José Butto takes it up the butto for his sixth loss against no victories. It was a lost opportunity for Carolinians, as they missed a chance to climb out of the cellar of The South Atlantic League Southern Division, leaving them a half game behind Asheville, having won five of their last 10.



    I always want to praise the work of at least one starter, but the starters have not been prospering for Columbia, which is disappointing, because the talent has been there. The real head-scratcher is 2018 second-round pick Simeon Woods-Richardson. Swoodrich has a lot of good numbers in place — 39 strikeouts in 31 1/3 innings, only seven walks allowed, and only one homerun yielded. That's all encouraging, so how is it all adding up to an 0-6 record and a 6.89 ERA? IT'S A MYSTERY!! Apparently, folks aren't putting it in play much, but when they do, they always find a seam. Let's hope that's not sustainable.



    What you do hope will be sustained is the relief work of Tyler Megill, who calls himself Li'l, but everyone knows him as Nancy. Nutmeg just joined the team a week ago, and already has appeared in three games, covering 5 2/3 innings. He's struck out 10 dudes, walked but three, and the next run he allows will be his first. Plus, giving up just two hits, he's held the opposition to a .105 batting average. THAT'S REALLY BAD!! I mean, it's GOOD for him, but BAD for everybody who digs in against him.



    But one thing that's awful good unambiguously is highly rated infield prospect Mark Vientos finally starting to find his swing. The Freshmaker has hit in nine straight games, going .351 / .351 / .568 // .919 over that period. As you can see, he could stand to walk more (and by more, I mean some), but he got his share of those earlier in the season when he wasn't hitting, and it's just great to see him step up and look to redeem what was looking like a crappy season.



    You and the Fireflies can join together and KICK LAST PLACE IN THE FACE starting tomorrow as Willy Taveras looks to mow down the Drive in his home ballpark. It's #LiveFearlessSC Friday, and I hope you all know what that means!!



    Seriously, I hope you do, because I have no clue. There's also a David Wright Bobblehead giveaway. That may sound a little bullshitty as David Wright not only never played for the team, he was long established in the big leagues before the Fireflies came into existence. But then there's still a few elders who recall the Mets briefly employed the Fireflies' Columbian predecessors — The Capital City Bombers — as a South Atlantic League affiliate. And though the affiliation was brief, it included a season featuring 19-year-old David Wright hisself, knocking in 93 runs for the third-place Bombers.



    So come on out! Enjoy the game! And get yourself a doll, you girly men!!

    Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

    A 5-2 loss to The Augusta GreenJackets did a lot of dropping. It dropped The Columbia Fireflies' record in their last 10 games to a soggy and dis-spiriting 3-7. It further dropped our heroes deeper into dead fucking last, nine games off the pace in The South Atlantic League Southern Division. It dropped their first half elimination number to six games. Lastly, it dropped pitcher José Butto to 1-7, a loss total that leads all of Class A.



    Despite the team's day-glo colors, bright spots have been few. Willy Taveras has turned in two quality starts in a row, as he has done through most of the season. He's got his ERA under four and trending downward. Chilly Willy keeps walks and hits off the board, but has been showing a vulnerability to the long ball. His 10 dongs allowed is the second-highest figure in the league. If he can lick the dongs, there's place for him in the higher minors.



    Joining the team the last week or two has been Texas bullpenner Jake Simon, and he's been the shnizzle. Rhymin' Simon debuted with a three-inning no hit stint out of the pen, and by his third appearance he was put in the stopper role. Unscored upon after 4 2/3 innings, Jakey has allowed only two hits and a walk while striking out five. The Fireflies need to climb on his back in the second half. Ezequiel Zabaleta has been moved up to St. Lucie.



    Swinging the best bat on the team is the awesomely named outfielder Wagner Lagrange. The bombastic opera composer has gone .306 / .359 / .556 /.915 over his last 10 operas, a stretch that includes a grand slam against Charleston. Also, he comes from the town of Las Matas de Farfan. I probably have this wrong, but my most literal translation of that is "You Kill the Ones from Farfan." I don't know what Wagner and his fellow citizens havea against Farfanians, but I don't want to be around when they meets one.



    It may be too late to get back into the second-half race, but the 'Flies aren't going down without a fight. They currently lead the Rome Braves 5-2 in the ninth inning. Hey, look at that! Jake Simon has had two more perfect innings, and Chris Viall is on for the save, AND IT'S OVER AS I TYPE!!!



    Firefly Fever! CATCH IT!!!

    btw, you've got the wrong pitching coach up there.

    Columbia is actually employing some red-hot Royce Ring action in charge of the hurlers.

    A postponement of tonight's game may be all that saved your Columbia Fireflies from elimination, having lost six of their last 10, trimming their first half elimination number to just one, while also remaining in last place in The South Atlantic League Southern Division by a half game, nine and a half games out of first.



    Don't shoot. I'm just the messenger. But I come with better news as well. Christian James may have a name that sounds like western gunslinger, but he's from Tampa, so, yeah, maybe he grew up with Jeter pajamas. He didn't go to Hillsborough High, I can tell you that. I can also tell you that over his last four starts, he's allowed just six runs in all, pounding out a 2.42 ERA over that period. Even more impressively, The Magic Christian has allowed no homers over that period.



    That's the way to start. Even better is when the starter is done with his stupid 5-6 innings, and out of the bullpen comes a force of nature like Bryce Hutchinson. Basmati Bryce, is the long reliever, frequently getting assignments between two and five innings long, with an ERA of 2.27 over his last 10 games, and 1.59 over the last five. Holding opponents to a .199 batting average against.



    And speaking of batting average, highly ranked prospect fish Ronny Mauricio has been steadily raising his over recent weeks, and is currently riding a nine-game hitting streak. In his last game, the teenage dreamboat went 3-4 with EIGHT total bases, garnered from two doubles and a homer. Da-doo-Ron-Ronny has been a really hard out since about the third of May, going .305 / .346 / .430 // .776 over his last 30 games. That may not blow your mind, but consider that he's still an 18-year-old playing full-season ball.



    Still and all, the main casualty that almost always seems to take a hit when speedy Dominican shortstops are (almost invariably) pushed so hard by the Mets is the development of plate discipline. Hopefully, Some-People-Call-Me Mauricio stays with the team in the second half and gets a chance to add some polish to his game. He and pitching coach Royce Ring will represent the Fireflies in the South Atlantic League All-Star Game.



    The action continues today as a double-header is undertaken to make up for yesterday's postponement. Christian James and the James Gang pitch the opener, with Hard-Luck José Butto taking the nightcap.

    Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

    https://secure.milb.com/assets/images/9/1/4/306310914/cuts/1280x720/cut.JPG>



    The trip to Hickory was seeming to be the answer. Four games and four rainouts. If the clouds would just stay with them, it could wash out the remaining week on The Columbia Fireflies' schedule, and allow them to start fresh in the second half.



    But no such luck spared them. And as well rested as they were, they would go on to lose two of three vs. Ashevile, and then fell in a massive beatdown of a four-game sweep by visiting Lexington, closing out the dreadful first half with five straight losses, finishing the first semester with a dreadful 24-42 / .364 record, good for dead fucking last in The South Atlantic League Southern Division.



    But hey, new beginnings are what second halves are for, right? So they enjoyed their three-day All-Star break, freshened up a little bit, and then headed on out to Asheville to enjoy a fresh start. Things were even looking good after they took the early lead after one when Wagner Lagrange singled home a run.



    And then it happened.



    Despite the presence on the mound of Willy Taveras, who had had a pretty solid first half, the roof caved in and then the rains followed. Two runs in the second, three each in the third and fourth. The runs piled on the heads of The Fireflies, one after th eother. When the dust had cleared, The Tourists were walking away with a 26-9 victory. Just about as footbally as you can get. Augusta even put a 10-spot in the seventh. Our alleged heroes four homers, a triple, and nine doubles. NINE!



    About the only fun that can come out of situation like this is the small (small) consolation that, hey, maybe a position player will get to take the mound. And so it was, as thirdbaseman Brian Sharp crossed over to the hill to get the final two outs. He gave up a hit and a walk, but somehow managed to get out of the inning without another run crossing. Lest it go unsaid, he was the only Columbia pitcher on the day without a blemish on his record, although the six runs second pitcher Bryce Hutchinson gave up were all counted as unearned. He took the loss anyway.



    So, as far ways to open the second half, that's just some soggy Wheaties right there. Soggy Wheaties with broken glass.



    So, it was something of an impressive turnabout to take yesterday's follow up at the more basebally score of 6-3 in 10 innings. (Field goal in overtime?). Alec Kisena, signed this offseason out of The Frontier League garnered his first win in affiliated ball with two shutout innings, Hickory self-destructed in the 10th, and Billy Oxford finished up for the save.



    José Butto has been the most effective starter of late, usually good for the ol' six-innning, two-run job that'll keep his team in the game. He's put up a 2.78 ERA over his last four starts, including a six-inning, one-hit outing. He's whiffed 66 and walked only 17 in his 64 2/3 innings, so don't let his 4.45 overall ERA fool you.



    Speaking of Josés, with the better relievers all promoted to St. Lucie, José Moreno has emerged as a key piece of the pen. Having allowed only three runs in his last ten outings, covering 11 innings. His overall ERA sits at 2.63 through 24 innings, having only allowed one homer. José has a twin brother Angel playing centerfield in the Cardinal system, so if this pitching thing doesn't work out, he has options — at least, genetically.



    Until then, the batting has to be done by the batsmen. And All-Star (and top prospect) Ronny Mauricio continues to improve as the season progresses. The Ronnyknocker has celebrated his All-Star selection by hitting .333 / .362 / .556 // .917 over his last 10. Like many young, high-potential shortstops the Mets have pushed through the system in recent years, he still needs to learn to take a walk. Also, like many shortstops of recent vintage, Mauricio is tall. If you've seen how José Reyes and Amed Rosario have played balls close to the ground in recent seasons, you understand how that can be a concern.



    For what it's worth, Mo-Mo went 1-2 with a double in last week's South Atlantic League All-Star Game as the 'Flies only representative.



    Incredibly, despite the dramatic run differential, the Fireflies 1-1 record leaves them in a five-way tie for first place in The South Atlantic League Southern Division. Their hoping to get ahead of that bottleneck as they play the final game in Ashville today. Willy Taveras goes The Tourists' most endangered pitcher, the 1-7 / 7.34-ERA'd Alfredo Garcia. If you step on it, you can still get down to North Carolina in time for the 6:05 start.

    Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

    Down 6-5 in the ninth against The Hickory Crawdads, The Columbia Fireflies got the tying and go-ahead runs on base before going down on a grounder. The loss kept the Flies at true sea level for the time being, making them 5-5 in their last 10, and 9-9 overall in this, the second of the season in The South Atlantic League Southern Division. Early jockeying is still taking place, however, and so the loss leaves them but one game out of first behind The Augusta GreenJackets and The Rome Braves. The Braves are an exception in the Sally League, not being named after an insect or small fish.



    Somebody who is no small fish to the Mets, drafted in the second round in 2018, is one Sugarland, Texas' own Simeon Woods Richardson. Sim Score has started six games between June and July, covering 27 2/3 innings with a 2.28 ERA. Among those was a five-inning, no-hit start. He struck out 32 and walked nine in that period. Still growing into his frame, this surprise pick of the Mets has been putting doubts aside with high 90s heat that a lot of scouts didn't know was there, keeping him off most draft boards. Woods is the goods.



    But he ain't the only goods from the 2008 draft shining bright with the Fireflies. Eighth rounder Tylor Megill has been a thrill. The Whole Megilla has thrown 25 1/3 innings so far, and held opponents to a .182 batting average and walked off with a 3-0 record, two saves, and a 1.42 ERA. Nutmeg is from Long Beach, which makes it disappointing that he wasn't a LBS Dirtbag, but he instead went to baseball factory Arizona U., and it's hard to fault him for that.



    Hard to fault for anything is Hayden Senger. Well, you can fault the dashing Ohioan catcher for grounding out to end last night's game, but having already stretched his hitting streak to seven games, he was the bat that manager Pedro Lopez wanted at the plate. The Ravishing Receiver ended the night at .389 / .421 / .583 // 1.004 over his last 10 games, and that's the sort of swinging that can help you win games.



    Want to help them win tonight? Get on down to Columbia's Segra Park, and root for victory over Augusta (and a share of first place). Columbia is doing a promo where their one millionth fan to pass through the turnstiles of Segra will receive one million dollars.



    It could happen to you.

    Re: Talkin' Columbia: The Columbia Fireflies in 2019

    [FIMG=650]https://secure.milb.com/assets/images/3/9/8/310056398/cuts/1280x720/cut.jpg[/FIMG]





    If you're on the Mets development team, the saddest chapter of the 2019 story has to be The Columbia Fireflies season. Though it was looking like a disproportionate amount of the team's top 30 prospects, trades for big leaguers, injuries, and some underperformance all served to deliver one lumpy-assed season — their overall 52-84 record being the worst for a Mets Sally League affiliate since Tim Teufel's disastrous 41-94 Savannah Sand Gnats squad of 2007.



    Teufel said a the time that he knew the team would take their lumps because there was a lot of young talent on the team being pushed along quickly by the organization, jumping from the DSL or high school past the GCL and The Appalachian League while still teenagers in order to get a full season worth of reps and experience. I don't know if that was truly the strategy that year or this one, but the only players from that season to make the big leagues 12 years later have been Juan Lagares (who was then a banjo-hitting shortstop with a .911 fielding percentage), Francisco Peña, Josh Thole, Josh Stinson, and Toby Stoner, with Lagares having the most real impact there.



    Limping home with six straight losses the last week, and going 1-9 over their last 10 games didn't make the bitter pill of this year's Lightning Bug season go down any easier. One of the team's lesser disappointing prospects was Mark Vientos, whose .255 / .300 / .411 // .711 line was pretty flaccid, but he did lead the team with 12 homers, with the only real competition for the team's Sterling Hitter Award being outfielder Wagner LaGrange (.282 / .324 / .425 // .748), who played 40 fewer games.



    Highly valued shortstop prospect Ronny Mauricio held his own, going .268 / .307 / .357 // .665 at only 18 years of age, but again, one might think his confidence and development might be better served by producing more against New York-Penn League competition.



    Right-handed Venezuelan starting pitcher José Butto only went 4-10, but with a 3.50 ERA in 112 innings, only seven behind team-leading teammate Willy Taveras. The Butto Surfer whiffed 109 and walked only 31, and I think all that might add up to enough to get him the teams' Sterling Pitching Award.



    The real pitching for the team was coming out of the pen however, with Andrew Mitchell leading the way. His 19 2/3 innings pitched weren't much even at this level, but the guy put up a 0.92 ERA with 32 strikeouts and only six walks and a rocking 32 strikeouts against six walks. He would spend the second half of his season still excelling with The St. Lucie Mets. Ezequiel Zabaleta also deserves beaucoups appplause, throwing 21 1/3 innings with a 1.69 ERA, 22 strikeouts, and but only two lonely walks.



    The team saw the return of Bradley Marquez this season. The Mets held on to the rights of the wide receiver for four years while he pursued his pro football career, but surprised observers when they activated him this spring and sent him to Columbia. Despite the obvious athletic skills he brought to the table, the rust was showing. After three weeks and a .161 batting average, Marquie Marque was placed on the inactive roster, presumably to go back to St. Lucie and work on his swing, but he never saw action again and announced his retirement on July 12.



    Still, for a few weeks there, the Mets had two former NFL players toiling in the minors for them. That their batting averages together didn't add up to Jeff McNeil's alone is sort of the dark side of that phun phact.



    Sunk by the worst record in the South Atlantic League, the Flies hope they get some of the juice next year that made Brooklyn a playoff team in 2019. Else it could be another long, hot summer in Columbia.
