Syracuse Baseball 2023

[Lefty Specialist]

Eight shutout innings today from David Peterson. Two hits, three walks, and nine strikeouts on just 95 pitches.

Yeah, let him do that 3 or 4 more times. I don't trust him at the major-league level right now.

[Edgy MD]

I'm just rootin' and occasionally tootin'.

[Edgy MD]

Guillorme tearing it up to the tune of .320 / .469 / .440 // .909 in 32 plate appearances since his demotion.

[MFS62]

Mauricio didn't play last night.
Was there a announcement about why?
Is he inured?

What have you guys in Syracuse heard?.

He is playing tonight, 1 for 2 so far and they are in the 5th.

Yesterday was just a day off, I think that it's his first day off.

[vtmet7]

By the way, tonight Mark Vientos t shirt night in Syracuse... guess that is why Buck caved and gave Vientos a token start before he goes back to rotting on the bench for several days.

[Edgy MD]

Showalter announced last night that Vientos would be in the lineup for the next three days.

[Edgy MD]

Down 8–5 going into the bottom of the seventh tonight, Syracuse rallied for two in the seventh and one each in the eighth and ninth to walk off with a 9–8 victory over Louisville.

[MFS62]

Butto has a 7.30 ERA and from the box scores I've been following, he deserves every digit of it.
Later

[Edgy MD]

Well, it's hard for a starter to not deserve his ERA. It's designed as reflection of his overall effectiveness, and it's built from the same stats that are in the boxscores.

[MFS62]

It was my way of noting that he's been getting clobbered regularly and not one or two bad outings skewing the numbers.

In recent years (like from Tom Glavine on), it seems like the Mets always seem to have the worst LHP at the MLB level...Neise, Glavine, Peterson, etc

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure how you see that, or what that claim has to do with righthanded José Butto getting hit hard in the minors.

[MFS62]

From SNY:

The Mets have made an addition to their Triple-A depth, acquiring 1B/3B Tyler White from the Minnesota Twins.
White last appeared at the big-league level back in 2019 with the Dodgers and Astros. Across 256 career MLB games, he has 26 home runs and a .752 OPS.
Through 16 games down in Triple-A this season, White's slashing .259/.386/.414 with two homers and three doubles. The Mets have assigned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

Later

[Edgy MD]

Syracuse fell behind 4-1 this evening before coming back for a 10-5 victory over Rochester. Jonathan Arauz led the attack, driving in four runs and scoring three with a homer and a triple.

A snapshot of the roster is below, and it's a mess. First of all, it's hard to tell who is a starter and who is a reliever on any given night, because they're just throwing pitchers against the wall and seeing who might stick, and not a lot are. Secondly, despite a presumptive limit on the roster, their clubhouse is packed, with the rules providing plenty of loopholes to carry rehabbers and "developmental" players and such.

Luis Guillorme's "incredible play".

Luis Guillorme's "incredible play".

https://www.milb.com/syracuse/video/lui ... dible-play

This video has been lingering in my news feed for about a week and nobody's yet posted it here.

He made a couple of nice plays in games we attended last week. They are back in town this week and I hope to attend either Wednesday or Thursday evening, as the rest of our week is booked up with other stuff.

OE: I guess Thursday night, then, as Wednesday is another early 11:05 AM start and "Education Day" for the kiddos

[MFS62]

Tonight's game was postponed because of the smoky air coming down from Canadian fires.
Maybe it will be Thursday and you can see a double dip.

Maybe they can send Vogelbach there to clean the air. He sucks so much he could clean the air over the entire city.
Later

[Edgy MD]

I'm certain that he doesn't.

I have a feeling that one of these 3 will be gone before Voglebus is gone:
Hitting coach;
Buck;
Epler;

[Edgy MD]

Jeremy Barnes is the hitting coach.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Buck gone before Vogey? I'll take the "No way" on that one.

[ashie62]

Amid swirling rumors Mauricio reinjured his ankle yesterday and gets an obligatory MRI today

[ashie62]

Luke Ritter has been promoted from Binghamton to Syracuse. Decent hitting infielder
