RAB live chat tomorrow, I’m thinking 2pm EDT so our west coast friends can get in on the action. Here’s our past chats. AzFL Peoria (8-7 win over Surprise) Austin Jackson: 1 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 3 K - in addition to driving in the Javelinas’ seventh run, he was at the plate when a wild pitch allowed the game winning run to score Jeff Marquez: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1-3 GB/FB - 18 of 28 pitches were strikes (64.3%) … don’t read too much into him pitching in relief, the team is carrying 21 pitchers, they all can’t start HWB Waikiki (3-1 loss to ...

Move over Jess Todd, Adam Reifer is the one who will destroy us all. “Basically every player I play, I grow a hatred toward them. I just hate them. No one’s going to take me down, I have to go out there and destroy them.” If you’re looking for a definition of a “closer mentality”, I think that would be it. Just a great look at Adam Reifer by BA. Peoria 10, Scottsdale 7 Adam Ottavino packed his struggles and took them with him to Arizona. He lasted two innings, allowing three runs on five hits. His teammate ...

... with the Peoria Saguaros (saguaros = large cactus) and some others playing Hawaiian Winter Baseball with the Honolulu Sharks. Saguaros 10, Scottsdale Scorpions, 7 Josh Thole, catcher , 0-3, 2 BB, 1 R (St. Lucie). Thole hit .300/.382/.427 in 347 at-bats as a 21-year-old with St. Lucie in 2008. He didn't distinguish himself in three prior minor league seasons with the Mets, but an .809 OPS as a catcher is certainly encouraging. Honolulu 3, Waikiki BeachBoys 1 Josh Stinson, RHP, 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 ...

I can't help but agree with Mark Healey of Gotham Baseball, who says that Aaron Heilman should be cut a little slack. I count myself among a shrinking list of Heilman supporters, and would be disappointed if the Mets sold extremely low by shipping him out of town this offseason. Healey sums up Heilman's lost season in 2008: The fact of the matter is, Aaron Heilman deserves the benefit of the doubt from the Mets, the fans and the media. He pitched through an injury this year that didn't only curtail his ability to stay on his regular workout regimen, but also likely altered his mechanics and effectiveness of his slider and change, the latter being his ...
