            Check out yesterday’s results here. Travelling home from my beach trip had me exhausted last night, and I was passed out before the Mets game was two innings old. My goal is to have a bunch of new recaps up by Monday.

            The Mets have traded Merandy Gonzalez and Ricardo Cespedes to the Marlins in exchange for closer A.J. Ramos. After watching him dominate in the first half, I’m really disappointed to see Merandy go to the Marlins, and I think he would’ve been in the conversation for top-5 prospect in the Mets system this offseason. I get that A.J. Ramos is good, but his walk rate scares me, and I don’t like giving up Merandy G for him, so I’m not an immediate fan of this trade.

            Roster moves: Dash Winningham and Blake Taylor were moved to the SAL DL. Desmond Lindsay and Ali Sanchez will miss the rest of the season.

Recapish

            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies and Akron Rubber Ducks played their fourth game in two days Thursday afternoon in a matchup of two guys making their Double-A debut. Dominic DeMasi was able to go five strong innings in his Akron debut, but Ponies starter Andrew Church was not nearly as effective over his four-plus innings of work. The Rubber Ducks got to Church for ten runs and held an 11-0 lead as the Ponies came to the plate in the 5^th. Binghamton put up a little bit of a fuss at the end of the game, but the deficit was too big to overcome without some Mike Piazza-level greatness.

Recapish

            The Binghamton Rumble Ponies made it two straight double-header wins over Akron when they came from behind to take the opener 2-1. Chris Flexen made his seventh Double-A start and it went as well as the first six, as he limited to Akron to one run and struck out seven. Still, that one run had Akron ahead with the game going to the final frame, so it looked like Flexen might be a tough luck loser. Fortunately for 99% of the people in attendance, the Ponies put together a little two run rally in the bottom of the 7^th for a walkoff win.

Recapish

            After a week plus of frustrations batting with runner’s in scoring position, the Columbia Fireflies broke out in a huge way Wednesday afternoon, finishing 10-25 in those situations en route to a 16-2 win over the Lexington Legends. Chase Ingram was strong over six innings in his (unexpected and hopefully short) return to the Fireflies rotation Wednesday, but the story was clearly the offense, which set a Fireflies franchise record with the 16 runs. Dan Rizzie led the hit party with five, Jay Jabs went deep and finished with four runs batted in, while 18-year old shortstop Andres Gimenez reached base four times from the leadoff spot.
