Recapish


            The Binghamton Mets continued their struggles against the EL’s worst team Tuesday night, as they took an 8-1 loss to open a 3-game set in Richmond. The B-Mets have now lost 4 straight to the Flying Squirrels, a team that is already 17 games under .500 against the rest of the league.
            It was a familiar story for Binghamton starter Mickey Jannis in this one, as he fell behind early after struggling with control out of the gate. He actually got to two outs quickly in the 1st, but the next 5 reached, which was capped by an Ali Castillo two run single. The frame was a disaster for Jannis, as he allowed the Flying Squirrels to score 4 runs on just 2 hits when there were no errors in the frame. There was a passed ball, but more importantly, Jannis issued 3 walks (all 3 came around to score) and hit a batter his first time through the order. He mostly settled down after that until running into two out trouble in the 5th.
            On the other side of the ball, Dan Slania was making quick work of the B-Mets. Binghamton finally put together a threat when the first two reached in the 6th, but Slania made quick work of the next two batters before Jake Smith was called on to finish the frame. Binghamton finally did break through in the 7th, but they only managed one run after loading the bases with nobody out.
            The B-Mets relief put together a ridiculous stretch after taking over in the 6th. Kevin McGowan was the first out of the pen, and he would strikeout the final 5 Squirrels to face him. Logan Taylor was next up and he started his outing with a pair of K’s to make it 7 straight.
            I break down the scoring and reliever strikeouts with highlights below, so enjoy! This series continues Wednesday night at 6:35 PM, with Tyler Pill (3-6, 4.22 ERA) scheduled to pitch for Binghamton.


MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights


            Phillip Evans and Jayce Boyd started the 6th inning with singles, but the B-Mets stranded both in scoring position during the frame. Evans finished with 3 hits (2 shown here, 1 below) and Colton Plaia added a single too.

            The first 3 B-Mets of the 7th reached via the walk to give Binghamton a golden opportunity to come back in this game. Unfortunately Richmond was quick to make a pitching change, and then Binghamton only scratched out one run against Preston Claiborne.

            Dominic Smith started an inning ending double play in the 4th.

            The CF camera appears to have a low frame rate or something, and the stream was jumping at times when they used that angle – you’ll see what I mean in the GIF’s below. Because of this, the Jannis K’s weren’t worth sharing, and most of the ones below are still not as smooth as I’d like.


Kevin McGowan


            McGowan got a groundout from the first batter he faced out of the pen, walked the next one, and then K’d the next 5.











Logan Taylor


            Taylor struck out the first two of the 8th inning, but then a walk opened the door for two more Richmond runs thanks to back-to-back doubles from Ryder Jones and Ricky Oropesa.
