Recap
Robert
Gsellman was strong for Binghamton Tuesday night, and the offense driven by big
nights from Michael Conforto and Eudy Pina, as the B-Mets easily took the
opener in Erie. Gsellman had trouble getting the fastball over for strikes
during a few plate appearances, issuing a walk in three of the first 4 innings
and a fourth in the 6th, but he was in the zone more than 70% of the
time in all other PA’s. Jon Velasquez would replace Gsellman with the bases
loaded and nobody out in the 7th, and Velasquez stranded 2 of the
runners, with the B-Mets trading a run for a double play with a 7-run lead.
Velasquez would get hit hard in the 8th, allowing two doubles to CF
and an RBI single, but the game was already out of hand. Akeel Morris finished
the game off with two strikeouts in the 9th, but he did issue a two
out walk with a 5-run lead in the frame.
Gsellman had an up-and-down 1st,
striking out the leadoff batter, then walking Jeff McVaney, before the inning
ended on a double play grounder to Cecchini. He worked a clean 2nd
and 5th inning, but allowed multiple base runners in the 3rd
and 4th. The only damage against him came in the 3rd,
when Connor Harrell launched a 2R bomb that stayed just fair down the LF line. He’d
allow the first two to reach in the 4th, but then stranded them on
1B and 2B. Jason Krizan hit a bullet of a double over Nimmo’s head in the 6th,
but Gsellman would finish the frame with his fourth strikeout. The Erie
announcers weren’t calling velocity readings, but they mentioned that he was
still sitting low 90’s in the 7th. His curveball is a beauty, and
he’s comfortable doubling up on it or throwing it in any count – it seemed like
some batters took his fastball for a strike when they were expecting a
curveball.

out details and highlights of the B-Mets offense, Gsellman, and more after the
jump. This series continues Wednesday night at 7:05 PM, with Seth Lugo
scheduled to pitch for Binghamton.
Scoring Highlights
Eudy
Pina hit a one out single in the 3rd, and then came home as part of
a two run triple from L.J. Mazzilli.
Albert
Cordero led off the 5th with a single and then scored when Michael
Conforto hit his third homerun since joining the B-Mets.

Pina
hit a one out double in the 6th.
Mazzilli
and Conforto led off the 7th with singles, and then scored on an E5
and sac fly, respectively. With two outs in the inning, Pina hit a two run
double to RF that made this a 9-2 game.
Conforto
added a single in the 8th, and Pina capped his night with an RBI
single to RF in the 9th.
Bonus
Gavin
Cecchini’s defense at SS has been getting some poor marks lately, but he made
two nice plays in this game:
Snagging this high liner
Going to his left on this groundball.
Robert
Gsellman makes a great throw after fielding this slow roller up the 1B line.

*8.7% Swinging strike rate
He struck out the first batter of the game swinging.
He stranded two runners on base when he struck out Albeto
Gonzalez to end the 4th.
Austin Green went down looking in the middle of a 1-2-3 5th
from Gsellman.
Maybe Gsellman should’ve finished his night with this
strikeout of James Robbins to end the 6th, but he came out for the 7th
and allowed 3 singles before being replaced.
