Apparently Banuelos had lively stuff last night, just his location sucked arse.

Hopefully he can figure it out. It sucks to see his command issues of last season are still a big problem.

ManBan on 7 day DL with sore back.

ManBan on 7 day DL with sore back.

Has he ever gone a season without being on the DL?

[SLURPEE]

Phew. Nothing arm related.

BA prospect hot sheet -

The Scoop: The RiverDogs have jumped out to an early lead in the South Atlantic League team ERA race thanks in large part to Campos, who has held opponents to one hit and one (unearned) run through 11 innings. With just three walks issued, his WHIP stands at a minuscule 0.36. In other words, Campos has started his Yankees career in sharp contrast with Michael Pineda, the other pitcher New York received from the Mariners for Jesus Montero.

According to GM Brian Cashman, he will miss one start due to a latissimus muscle issue in his back.

That could explain his lack of command. Hope he only misses a start or 2.

Mitchell was so-so today. Jose Ramirez goes tonight for Tampa. Bryan Mitchell goes for Charleston.

[philleotardo]

That's a long outing for Whitley

Seriously. He has one career minor league start. Is he being converted to a starter? Lord knows the other 5 aren't doing their. I have to say this AAA squad is the least interesting crew I have seen in over 5 years. Laird is the only hitter that's not a former ML or AAAA guy.

[philleotardo]

Bryan Mitchell walked everyone in sight.

[bmxstreetrider86]

Tyler Austin is just smashing everything so far, 8 hits this young season and 7 for XBH

[philleotardo]

Culver had 3 hits. Hopefully the start of something.

Don't know, but he only threw 38 pitches in those four innings.

I think he is deff a AAAA guy, but I guess he's too young for me to say that definitively.

[philleotardo]

Austin double, M.Williams triple, Bichette, 1-1, BB, RBI, Gamel 2 RBI......only thru the 2nd.

Of course Scottie Allen is pitching, so all of these runs will be completely necessary.

[StaleMilk]

Culver had 3 hits. Hopefully the start of something.

It won't be. He will never amount to anything useful.

He was solely a pick based on the fact he was willing to sign with the team for slot.

[philleotardo]

OK.

On a positive note, Austin was 4-4 w/2 2B's. He was 0-4 in the first game and is 12-24 since, 9 XBH's.

[thequestion]

Mason "the Dixon" Williams 2-4 so far with a double and tripple bagger. He's really showing making those aggressive rankings proud. Don't know how he's looked in the field.

[Yankees1962]

Austin did some more damage today with a 3-run homer in the top of the 9th inning to put the Riverdogs ahead for good. He also had a single and BB today.

[Yankees1962]

I found this MiLB article about Austin today. It's through Saturday's game so expect him to be noted in both BA and other baseball publications soon about his recent work with the bat. He was back in RF today.

Looks like it was a 3run shot down by 1 run in the ninth with 2 outs.
