Acuna 1-3, BB
Ritter 0-3 BB, 3 k's
Bannon 2-4
Thomas 1-4
Hamel 5 innings 5 hits 2 runs 3 walks 3 k's (Awful era and too many walks but I still believe he's a big league arm, likely a RP)
Drew Smith (rehab) 1 perfect
Bing
Rudick 1-4
Parada 0-4
McLean 2-4, HR, 2b
Clifford 0-3,BB, 3 k's (He's been very disappointing, no two ways about it)
Stuart 5 innings 7 hits 3 runs 2 walks 6 k's (another likely big leaguer but RPer)
McLoughlin 1.2 innings 2 walks (1.15 era on the season)
Gervase 0.2 innings 2 hits 4 runs 3 walks 2 k's (yuck)
BK
Morabito 0-4, 3 k's
Lorusso 0-3, BB, SB, 2 k's (should be in Bing)
Suero 1-4, 2 k's
Orellana 2.1 innings 4 hits 2 runs 1 walk 1 k (first poor outing of the season)

Zitella 3-5, 2 2B, 2 k's (Hitting .349)
Juan 4-4, HR, 2 BB (monster game came into the game 2 for his last 33, talk about a slump buster)
Cota 4 innings 2 hits 2 runs 1 walk 9 k's
Said this last week but he needs to go to the pen now!
Kind of tells you what the organization thinks of him. Filler unfortunately.
I had high hopes for a lot of these types to get a shot this year in the AAA/AA we talk about a lot but seems like it won't happen. I think some of them might catch on.
Wilmer Lugo 1.2 innings 1 hit 2 runs 4 walks 2 k's 4 WP's
@jensen_juicy
While I'm on the topic of similarities, AJ Ewing reminds me soooo much of Brandon Lowe. The approach, the controlled load into surprising bat speed when he unloads, the bat path. Ewing is slightly larger and I'm not usually a comps guy, but I can't help but see similarities here
have signed RHP Eduardo Herrera and assigned him to @stluciemets
. Herrera (another converted IFer) previously spent time in both the Royals and Diamondbacks organizations and reportedly touches 96 despite only standing 5'9"
baty another big game, 3 for 5, 2 doubles, 3 rbis and 4 hard hit balls. mashing baseballs is exactly what he needed from AAA. id have put him in the OF before 2b though.
What bad luck.

won't be back soon per Mayer. Both he and Jett both, almost lost seasons jeez
What bad luck.
I was hopeful Gilbert would be pushing for a big league spot right now. Instead he’s apparently not even close to playing. Hard to see a scenario he’s up before next season at this point.

Yup I thought he'd be up by ASB replacing Marte.
Do we know what Orellana is injured with? Saw he didn't pitch in a while and that's he on IL.

Maybe see Acuna in July or August if he continues.
Baty keeps mashing in AAA. Going to start to hear he's a Quad A player but I still think his bat can play here.
McLean another 3 Ks. .157/.501 batting line. Unless there's a miracle here I have to think he's in rotation full time next year.
Clifford's first multi strikeout game in a while. Joander Suarez has been a little disappointing but haven't looked under the hood.
Fudge... :-(

@FCLMets
"Two who could be complete
Christian Scott, New York Mets
While no pitcher satisfies all three requirements perfectly, Christian Scott probably gets the closest.
• He located his fastball and slider at above-average rates
• His slider would rank in the top 15 among starters in Stuff+ if he qualified
• His four-seam fastball Stuff+ (89) was not as bad as it looked when compared to the average starting pitcher’s four-seam (92)
He could have more ride on the four-seamer, but it’s a decent two-plane fastball with average velocity, so it’s not as much of a problem as some of the fastballs thrown by the starters on our list today. When he was last in the big leagues, all four of his pitches had a 20 percent whiff rate or better. If he can push the velocity or the ride at all in the coming years, there might be another level, but if there was one player on our list today who seems like he’s got everything he needs for continued success, it’s Scott."
Pure speculation on my part, but I think they are gonna keep him in AAA, throwing 3-4 IP per start, until after the trade deadline.
Right now they have Severino, Megill, Quintana, Manaea and Peterson in the rotation. The veterans are all trade candidates and performing at least decently, so they aren't going to get demoted. Megill seems to have found a little extra this go around, so Mets (rightfully) want to get a longer look at him.
Peterson looked really good during his rehab starts but seems to be the same ole guy we've seen the past few years. Maybe if Peterson underwhelms for a few more starts they'll move Scott back in, but Mets might be hoping to get a longer look at Peterson (and I wouldn't count him out as a trade candidate either).

Is Scott going to be back up any time soon? Not sure the plan is with him.

Yeah that makes plenty of sense to me. That doesn't even include Senga possibly coming back so no room in the rotation anyways barring injuries or whatever.

Probably a good bet. They need to be careful about his innings - he only threw 87 innings last year and he’s already over 60 now. Supposedly there’s no hard cap on him, but they’re not going to be stupid with him either.
Holderman has been a stud for Pitt so far this year. Why oh why did they make that stupid trade.
Rays release Harold Ramirez

that trade was the moment eppler lost me. hated it. and hated just as much not adding any good relievers that deadline after he'd made the stupid comments about there being plenty on the market.
for a brief few weeks when vogelbach was "the big problem" i thought there was a glimmer of hope my initial reaction had been wrong and eppler really knew what he was doing, but that obviously didnt end up the case.
i was of that mind until the buck/eppler rift became more known, and alderson confirming has swayed me towards believing that buck was probably more in the right than eppler.
i also dont think its a coincidence that eppler got ratted out for something every team has probably done.
having a problem with 1 person can happen. having problems with a lot of people leads me to believe eppler was not the people first culture builder he claimed himself to be.
