Recapish

            After taking the opener against New Hampshire rather handily Saturday evening, the Binghamton Mets could barely scratch out any hits in the nightcap, and found themselves on the wrong end of a laugher. Tyler Herron’s organizational debut did not go well, as he was charged with 9 of the runs allowed over his 3+ innings of work.

Recapish

            The Binghamton Mets started their second straight double-header with a big win in game one for the second straight day. Ricky Knapp shined in his Double-A debut, but Dominic Smith and Matt Oberste’s stole the show when they went back-to-back in the 1^st inning, and then again in the 3^rd.

            Knapp started 2015 in St. Lucie’s pen bug was demoted to the Savannah rotation when he struggled out of the gate. He would become one of the most reliable starters in the Sand Gnats rotation last year, and that success has continued into 2016. He was one of the most effective starters in the FSL during the first half, so whether this is a spot start or permanent move, Knapp has earned his spot with Binghamton.

Mets Minors Transactions, June 26 – July 2, 2016

Keeping track of recent minor transactions within the Mets system

Last week

New York Mets

6/28 – Juan Lagares was sent to the B-Mets to begin his rehab stint. Lagares went 6-18 with a triple, some nice catches in CF, but 5 K’s. The Mets also announced the signing of Tyler Herron to a minor league contract. Herron is set to join the B-Mets rotation during their double-header Saturday.

6/29 - Undrafted Free Agent C Kevin Hall was signed to a minor league contract.

6/30 – Seth Lugo was promoted and made his Major League debut Friday night. The Mets optioned Sean Gilmartin to Las Vegas, where he’ll re-join the rotation.

7/1 – Jim Henderson was sent on a rehab assignment with the Binghamton Mets. He last just 0.2 IP before reaching his pitch limit, but he had to pitch during the only 15-minutes of rain all day, and it was coming down pretty bad at one point. The Mets also announced the signing of 17-year old OF Gilberto Espinoza, as the international free agency period starts July 2.

7/2 - Juan Lagares was activated and Seth Lugo sent back to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas 51s

6/28 – Daniel Muno was released from the organization. Wish him nothing but the best with whichever team picks him up next and hope he gets another major league chance someday. T.J. Rivera returned from the 7-day DL (minor hamstring strain) to take his roster spot.

DH - Kevin Plawecki - 1-4, 1 K, 10% SwStr, 25% Whiff/Swing, 2.5 Pitches/PA

Recapish

            The Las Vegas 51s took a lopsided 9-1 loss to Tacoma Friday night, which evened the series up at one game apiece. Rafael Montero struggled for most of the start, and would be charged with 7 runs before leaving in the 6^th inning. Recently promoted Beck Wheeler made his PCL debut and struck out 3 in a row in dominating fashion. At the plate, they wasted several opportunities to get runs home, and even their one run scored came on a double play grounder with the bases loaded.

            Montero allowed the first three to reach in the 1^st inning and found himself down 2-0 before an out was recorded. He faced the minimum in the 2^nd and 4^th innings, but threw 20+ pitches in the 1^st, 3^rd and 5^th innings. He’ll show flashes of the top prospect he was, but this is not the same guy who made it to Triple-A as a 22-year old in 2013. If the 51s had more starters available to them, Montero would probably already be in the pen, which is looking like his best option right now.

Recapish

            After taking a 10-4 win over New Hampshire in game one, the Binghamton Mets fell behind big in the 1^st and could not overcome the deficit. Rehabbing Mets reliever Jim Henderson made the start for Binghamton and was responsible for most of the 1^st inning damage, but he was pitching during the one 15-minute window of rain throughout the evening of baseball, and it got pretty bad while he was out there.

            Henderson got a pop out from the first batter of the game, which is when the drizzle first started. He lost Roemon Fields to a walk, and then Fields stole a pair of bases as the rain intensified. Jason Leblebijian followed with an RBI double to CF, which was the only run charged to Henderson while he was on the mound. Henderson then issued a second walk before getting a fly out for out #2. At that point, he had reached his pitch limit for the game and would be removed for Domingo Tapia. At one point during the inning, the rain got so bad that the grounds crew came out to put fresh, dry dirt where he lands.
