ICYMI – Phillippe Aumont Called Up

Other Stuff

Word came after last night’s game that Jeremy Horst had been placed on the Paternity List and replaced on the active roster by Phillippe Aumont. Paternity time allows for no more than 3 days on the list, so Aumont might have only the rest of the Reds series to make his mark before going back down to Lehigh Valley. 

For the season in AAA, Aumont’s sits just shy of 12 k/9, and a fair 0.61 HR/9, with a quite bad 6.9 bb/9 and 1.53 WHIP.  He has given up exactly 34 walks and 34 hits.  Cleary he misses a lot of bats…just so happens batters don’t swing as much as he’d like at balls outside the strike zone.

Maikel Franco: 4-5, 2 2b, HR, 3RBI.  Take a look at pre/post ASB just for fun.  Night and day.

Zach Collier has hit HR in 3 straight games.  He had 3 all year before that.  And 2 his whole career before this year.  Intriguing.  I guess.  Or something.  He’s confusing.

Hard to argue with the line from Ethan Martin last night.  4H, 2BB, 7K in 7 scoreless IP.  Also nice performance from Seth Rosin, and 2 scoreless from Ryan O’Sullivan.  2-4 with a double and an RBI for Gabriel Lino.  Too bad Tommy Joseph took the collar.  He ruined the 2012 trade class’ night.  I’m sure they all went back to their respective hotels and cursed his name.

Also, Aaron Altherr back from the DL with 2 hits in a DH role for Lakewood.  And Larry Greene has 5 hits in four games this week – all doubles.

Well, Jesse Biddle would have thrown a no-hitter if it would have just started raining after the 7th inning.  Stupid weather.  Anyway, 12 K and 2 BB over 7 scoreless IP.  He’s a keeper.

Hey, that Kelly Dugan’s on another hot streak.  Watch out.  Also, good to see Harold Martinez above the ol’ Mendoza line.  He’s been hitting a little bit lately. Continue reading Box Score Recap 8-16-2012 →

JRod had 7K in 3IP out of the pen.  My goodness.  And 4 CLR pitchers, led by starter Mario Hollands, shutout Tampa, allowing only 8H, 0BB, and striking out 11 batters.  Well done.  And hey, Jon Pettibone with a pretty good night as well – 7H, 1BB, 1 R/ER and 6K in 7IP.

So, all that being said, let the Darin-Ruf-a-thon begin!  Oh, and can someone tell me if they outlawed the pitch-around in the Eastern League?  They must have.

After some early trouble, Adam Morgan held it down, retiring 17 of the 20 men he faced after giving up a first inning HR.  Pretty good outing from Austin Wright, also – 6H, 2BB, 8K over 6 scoreless IP.

And check out Roman Quinn going deep, (err…what do you call it when it’s an inside-the-parker?), in the NYPL All-Star Game.

Justin Friend’s AA ERA drops below 3 on the year.  Sorry, check that…0.3. He’s allowed 1 run in AA this year.  In 31.1 innings.  1 run.

And ICYMI, Jake Fox took the AAA spot left vacant when Hector Luna went back to the show. I guess Darin Ruf is playing out the year in AA to keep that team in the playoff hunt. Cause how hot does he have to be? Actual flames coming out of his hands? Some kind of nuclear glow?
