Run, Fat Boy, Run movie

• I Spy on dvd

• Casey Fossum got the start, giving up 6 runs (5 earned) on 5 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 3.
• Romulo Sanchez walked 3 and allowed a hit in 2 innings, and allowed 2 inherited runners to score.

• Austin Jackson was 1 for 5 with a double.
• Cody Ransom was 1 for 5.
• Shelley Duncan was 0 for 2 with 3 walks.  The opposition clearly respects Shelley’s 20 home runs.

Trenton blanked by Binghamton, 4-0 (7 innings, game 1)

• Brian Bruney, rehabbing, pitched a perfect 1st inning.  I imagine he’ll be back in the Bronx very soon, maybe even as soon as tomorrow (when I’ll be in attendance).

• JB Cox, demoted after pitching poorly in AAA, walked 1 in 1 1/3 innings.

Tampa stops St. Lucie, 8-3

• DJ Mitchell started, and was wild in 5 shutout innings.  Mitchell gave up 3 hits and 4 walks, while striking out 3 and uncorking 2 wild pitches.  Control problems aside, his sinker was working tonight, as he recorded 11 groundball outs against 1 flyball out.

• Jose Pirela continued to hit, going 3 for 6 to boost his average to .333.  He was awful offensively in the GCL last year (hitting only .234), but maybe he has corrected some flaws.
