Recapish
P.J.
Conlon turned in his third straight sparking performance of the second half as
he led the Binghamton Rumble Ponies to a 1-0 win Friday night over New
Hampshire. Conlon took a shutout into the 7th and the Binghamton
bullpen preserved it. Working with just a 1-0 lead, the pen had little room for
error, but Tyler Bashlor and Tim Peterson combined to shut the Cats down over
the final two-plus innings.
Conlon chose to skip appearing in
the Eastern League All-Star game this year so he could get some extra rest and
it looks like it’s paying off. He’s now allowed just one run over 20 IP, with
16 K: 6 BB and 13 H allowed (.472 OPS) in the 2nd half.
The Cats put two runners on against
Conlon in the 2nd, 3rd, and 7th innings, but
they never got a runner to third base, and Conlon was as unflinching as ever
when in trouble – if you subtract out the intentional walks, he’s doing better
with runners on base for a second straight season

The
Ponies managed just three hits, and Tomas Nido had two of them. His fist hit
came with one out in the 2nd inning and David Thompson doubled him
home two batters later. Nido’s second hit came in the 7th, and that
was it for the Binghamton offense.

That
1-0 lead was in jeopardy after Conlon walked his third batter of the game in
the 7th. The walk put two on with two outs, which prompted Manager
Luis Rojas to make a pitching change. Flamethrower Tyler Bashlor came in, and
as you can see in the section below, he was throwing gas. Bashlor struck out
three of four batters faced, and the other batter was thrown out trying to
steal after reaching on a walk. Walks are a concern with Bashlor (13.3% BB-rate
this year), but he’s struck out more than 39% of batters faced while allowing
less than a hit per inning so far in 2017, so he’s definitely someone to keep
an eye on.

Bashlor
handed the ball off to Tim Peterson for the 9th and Peterson worked
a scoreless frame for his seventh save of the year. Peterson had a hiccup in
his second of just two appearances with Las Vegas this year, but he’s been very
consistent outside of that quick trip to the desert in mid-June.
Looking
ahead, the Ponies will give the ball to Scarlyn Reyes Saturday and hope he can
continue his strong second half with
a start against New Hampshire. Reyes has been very effective since being given
the opportunity of a spot start in late June, allowed just three runs on nine
hits over 13.2 IP, with 11 K: 3 BB during that span of six appearances. He’s
pitching well enough to get the look anyway, but the Mets may need to stretch Reyes
out into a starter over the final month of the season because they are running
short of healthy starters in the system.
