On Monday, he has a shitty team. Tuesday, the Mets will lose for than originally projected this year. How can Fred top himself today? Public nudity.
BTW – Savannah was the only affiliate that didn’t lose, mainly because they were off. Mainly….
Charlotte 7, Buffalo 2
The Knights jumped out to a 6-0 lead, and that was pretty much that. Brian Sweeney took it on the chin, giving up all six runs in 4.1 innings. Kirk Nieuwenhuis went 1 for 4 on the evening
New Britain 7, Binghamton 3 (8 innings)
This one was shortened by the rain, just as the B-Mets were launching their comeback. Alas. Josh Satin’s fielding error opened the flood gates in a 5 run 5th. Brandon Moore took the loss, giving up 6 runs (tho only one was earned) in 4.2 innings. 8 hits, 3 walks and a homer did not do him any favors, however. Satin did try to make up for it by belting a three run bomb in the 8th, but Mother Nature had decided enough was enough.
Daytona 9, St. Lucie 7
Nick Carr and Jeffrey Kaplan could not protect a three run lead for Scott Moviel, who wasn’t all that hot himself (4 runs in 5.1 innings). Angel Pagan was 1 for 3 in what is likely his last stint at St. Lucie. He should be in Buffalo tonight and with the Mets later in the week.

Come on Peter, give the Gnats some credit, they’re in first place in the SAL’s south division. Of course, they’re also .500 and if they were in the north they’d be second from the bottom.

I was wondering why Sand Gnats Goeddel stopped pitching his last few times out as a starter and now I got my answer.
“After opening the season with seven starts, former UCLA reliever Erik Goeddel has made consecutive relief appearances with Savannah — three innings apiece piggybacking Chase Huchingson starts. The lightened workload is safeguarding against Goeddel logging too many innings this season as he transitions from reliever as an amateur to starting as a professional. Wogan said Goeddel was having so much success as a starting pitcher, and going seven innings deep into games, that if the Mets did not slow him down, he would reach 120 or 125 innings for the season — which would have been too much, too soon.”

BTW the Familia article is a nice read as well.
