AA – Eastern League
@ Binghamton Mets 4, Erie Seawolves 0

New Hampshire Fisher Cats 10, @ Binghamton Mets 3
Thursday, the B-Mets offense scored one run on 10 hits. Friday, it scored three runs on seven hits, all in the ninth inning. The larger issue Friday was that the B-Mets trailed from the second batter of the game.
LHP Michael Antonini, in his first [...]
Man, am I picking the right week to go see some B-Mets baseball.
C Josh Thole hits the DL with a dislocated thumb so he’ll miss at least the next week.
That’s better than RHP Ryan Coultas, who will miss the entire rest of the season to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder. Coultas gave Brian [...]
AA: New Hampshire FisherCats 3, @ Binghamton Mets 2

Lance Broadway (1-5, 6.80) gave up seven runs on eight hits in five innings in the Bisons 7-3 loss to Charlotte. It’s not too early to wonder exactly what the Mets were thinking at the time of that trade. Adam Bostick tossed two more scoreless innings [...]
AA
Brad Holt pitched to six batters in his return from a sprained ankle. His night: single (by rehabbing Asdrubal Cabrera), walk, flyout, walk, 2 RBI single, 3 run HR, showers. The good news from the B-Mets 8-3 loss to the Aeros: 1B Ike Davis continues to hit. He was 2-4 with two doubles and is [...]

CC Sabathia >> Mike Pelfrey. Who knew?
It’s really simple with the current Mets lineup, the team just can’t give away outs as they did in the second inning.
AAA
Nelson Figueroa (3-4, 2.61) just kept rolling, giving up just one run over six innings in the Bisons 7-5 win over Gwinnett. Arturo Lopez couldn’t finish the ninth, [...]
