Other News

            I had never noticed this roster.pdf link on the www.lv51s.com roster page before last night, but it says that Scott Rice and Cesar Puello are currently on the minor league DL. After consulting todays game notes, it appears the moves are retroactive to June 24.

            Dillon Gee is scheduled to make a rehab start in Brooklyn Sunday. He will be pitching against the SI Yankees, who he’s faced one other time, on September 1, 2007, which was his second to last start for the Cyclones. Here is some video of him pitching for Brooklyn back in 2007, in case you forgot what that looked like.

            Toby Hyde offered a nice report on Dilson Herrera, suggesting he is going to make Daniel Murphy expendable.

B-Mets radio announcer Tim Heiman interviewed Brandon Nimmo before the game Friday night – listen here. When asked about the biggest differences between A+ and AA, Nimmo noted the command of the pitchers and the location of their pitches, and that relievers/specialists are noticeably better. When asked to describe himself, Nimmo said he has more pop than people think and doesn’t mind taking a walk – controlled aggression is what he called it.
