Brooklyn Cyclones

vs.

Staten Island Yankees

FROM

The Other Side of the Bridge

BROOKLYN CYCLONES: True to their name, Coney Island's season is spinning out of control.

McNamara Standings:

1) Staten Island 25-21     *

2) Brooklyn 23-24  2.5 GB

Brooklyn, we have a problem.  

The Cyclones have lost five straight, have fallen below the .500 mark for the first time all season, and presently trail the Staten Island Yankees by 2.5 games in the standings.

Including this afternoon's action, the Cyclones have 28 games left in the regular season.

That gives them time to rectify a deteriorating situation.

Step One: Beat the Yankees.  

To date, the teams have split six games this season.  Take 2 of these next 3 games to at least gain one in the standings.  The first 2 games are over the bridge, while the series finale shifts to Coney.

Step Two: Continue playing competitive baseball through the end of the month.

In fact, the Cyclones have 22 games prior to meeting up with Staten Island again in September.   Eleven of those games will come against their fellow division rivals; Aberdeen Ironbirds and the Hudson Valley Renegades.  Each of them are tied for 3rd place, a mere 3.5 games out of first.

The McNamara Division, then, is clearly up for grabs.  At the very least, they must play well against their direct competition, or get passed by.

They must make that season ending series against the Yankees matter.  

For the moment, the Cyclones are fifth in the Wild Card standings, albeit 1.5 games behind the Lowell Spinners.  They must nevertheless work themselves out of that pack.

Step Three: Hit and score more runs!

Brooklyn's pitching is still among the circuit's best, if not the league's best. They're #1 in team ERA and WHiP, which goes in hand with allowing the fewest hits and the least earned runs.  They additionally rank #2 in strikeouts.

Offensively, they are the complete opposite.  Can they hit home runs?  Yes!  They're tied for 3rd most in the league.  They just can't get anybody on base!  They're last in hits and total bases, team average and OBP.  To be fair, their slugging is second to last.

They've gotten this far.  Just a little more offensive production down the stretch could go a long way.

Step Four: Beat The Yankees Again.

Should the Cyclones arrive at that regular season ending showdown against the Yankees (or whomever else might be in first at the time, if not us...), they need to seize the moment.

Period!

As a prominent Brooklynite once said - Just Win, Baby!

N.Y. Mets: Finish Whirlwind Week Tied For First Place

From the desk of:  HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET

National League East

t-1) Mets   55-50

t-1) Nats   54-49

NEW YORK METS: Mets punctuate their best week in last seven years with sweep over Washington Nationals.

That's how you seize the day!

#winning

....with help from the front office, executing big trades at the deadline, with young overwhelming pitching, power at the plate, sweeping 3 games from the Washington Nationals at Citi Field, and gaining a share of 1st place of the National League East!

I. Ownership

The 2015 season marked the first time ownership added real payroll.  Prior to signing Michael Cuddyer, the Mets merely shuffled the same money to a revolving group of players.  Cuddyer's signing, and not trading Dillon Gee represented a calculable increase in payroll.  The recent acquisitions of Juan Uribe, Kelly Johnson, Tyler Clippard, and Yoenis Cespedes, required the Wilpons to take on, roughly, another $8.5 million dollars.

That was good business on ownership's part.  Perhaps they finally learned their lesson.  Fans packed Sunday night's game against the Nationals, which perhaps proved that if you put forth the effort, fans will come.  For too long, ownership's mantra was come to the park and spend your money first, then we'll see about making upgrades, eventually.

II. Sandy Alderson

Sandy Alderson just had his best week as general manager of the Mets.  And why not?  Fans are excited again, Citi Field is rocking, and the team tied for 1st place.

In hindsight, Alderson's acquisition of Tyler Clippard was a work of genius, as Jenrry Mejia was suspended 162 games for his 2nd failed PED test. 

The trade to acquire Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson provided Terry Collins with maneuverability, competent major league hitters, and depth off the bench.   

Last, but certainly not least, Yoenis Cespedes is the genuine slugger the Mets have lacked.

All these additions help lengthen the line-up, and lighten each other's load.  Moving forward, the Mets now have some professional hitters, a premiere slugger, a few power bats, and complimentary help towards the bottom of the order.

III. Power Pitching

In order to secure the aforementioned players, the Mets parted with five very good minor league pitchers: Michael Fulmer, Luis Cessa, Casey Meisner, John Gant, and Rob Whalen.  

Michael Fulmer was perhaps the most difficult to part with.  Some might even argue the Mets paid a stiff price.  I disagree.  I think what the Mets did was risky, but I think they did well.  In order to get quality, you must give quality.

Moreover, the trade deadline elapsed last Friday at 4pm, and last check Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom, Matt Harvey, Steven Matz, and Zack Wheeler were all still Mets.

Harvey, deGrom and Syndergaard all pitched against the Nationals this weekend.

Thor was particularly impressive Sunday night, in the game that ultimately tied the Mets with Washington for 1st place.  He threw 8 innings, allowed 2 earned runs on 7 hits, walked none, and fanned 9 batters.  He was still popping the gun at 99mph in the 8th inning.  Thor improved his record to 6-5, and lowered his ERA to an impressive 2.66 mark.

IV. Power at the Plate

The Mets hit 6 home runs against the Nationals.  Wilmer Flores, Curtis Granderson and Daniel Murphy all connected, while Lucas Duda hit 3 more!

Duda is swinging an insanely hot back, and losing baseballs at an absurd rate.  He now has hit 9 home runs in his last 8 games (but with only 12 RBI.  Some things never change).

V. Sweep!

The Mets and Nationals are now tied for first place of the National League East.  While the Nats are getting healthier, the Mets have undergone a major transformation, we think, for the better.

It's on!

The Mets and Nats face each other 6 more times this season.  The Mets will host the Nationals in the final series of the season!

That's how August begins.

Beware of more compelling Mets baseball coming to a ball park near you.

Let's Go Mets!

Wilmer Flores Strikes Back!

The poor kid has been through a lot.

Sandy Alderson's folly with regards to addressing shortstop ever since the Mets let Jose Reyes walk away created the piss-poor situation Wilmer Flores was thrust into.  Then the other night happened.  His emotions were probably a culmination of the season long crap he's endured.

N.Y. Mets: Binge Podcasting

From the desk of:  HEAD-BUTTING MR. MET

NEW YORK METS: !Que bruto!

This has been one of the more surreal weeks in recent Mets history.

The Mets have relied on strong, effective, consistent pitching to weave themselves into playoff contention, along with gaining a measure of league wide respect and recognition as such.

Matters away from the pitching mound, however, continue fraying the edges of this nicely woven, albeit incomplete tapestry.

I can't help but chime in on Jenrry Mejia, whom, because of all the late breaking developments emanating out of Flushing, has escaped the general public's wrath.

.....handed a 2nd suspension a mere 20 days after returning from his initial suspension for testing positive for steroids.  He must now sit out 162 games as of Tuesday.

How ponderous is it, that he got busted taking old school(!) steroids?  That's like still using dial up internet.  Steroids...Really?  Like, the basic old fashioned Canseco type?  Loosy-goosy A-Rod stuff?

That's like the U-Bet of doping!

Who even knows what U-Bet is anymore?  Hint: think Boscoe, or just forget it.

Brooklyn Cyclones Retake First Place of McNamara Division

From the desk of:  THE SURF AVENUE SLUGGERS

McNamara Division:

1) Brooklyn           20-17

2) Aberdeen          19-18

3) Hudson Valley  19-18

4) Staten Island    19-18

BROOKLYN CYCLONES: Look Who's Number One..., Again!

On Tuesday, the Coney Island Nine and Staten Island Yankees entered that night's action tied for 1st place, with the Aberdeen Ironbirds and Hudson Valley Renegades a mere game behind in the McNamara Division standings.

By Wednesday, all four McNamara teams were tied for 1st place with identical 19-17 records.

The square dance now seems to be breaking up - maybe.

Staten Island lost their second straight to the Batavia Muckdogs, Aberdeen lost to the Auburn Doubledays, while Brooklyn defeated the Hudson Valley Renegades to recapture sole possession of the 1st place.

Moreover, with Wednesday's 6-3 victory over the Renegades, the Cyclones became the fourth team in the circuit, and first team in their division to achieve 20 victories this season.

The McNamara remains the only division with all its members still playing .500 baseball or better.  

The Pinckney Division Williamsport Crosscutters, however, lead the New York Penn League with a 25-12 record.

7/29 - Renegades @ CYCLONES: Game 2

Brooklyn's Kevin Canelon made Wednesday's start at Coney Island Grounds, and was opposed by Hudson Valley's Roel Ramirez.

The Cyclones jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first.  Tucker Tharp and Vinny Siena led-off with back-to-back singles, then scored on Michael Bernal's triple to center field.  Bernal soon scored the third Cyclones' run on David Thompson's ground out to second.

Tucker Tharp led-off the bottom of the 5th with a home run to left, giving the Cyclones a 4-0 lead.

Hudson Valley ruined the shutout in the 6th, but Brooklyn stormed right back with a pair of runs in the 8th.  After DH Brandon Brosher received a 1-out walk, Jeff Diehl connected on a home run to left.

The Renegades scored 2 runs in the top of the 9th, charged to reliever Ruben Reyes to make it a 6-3 final score.

• Starter Kevin Canelon tossed 6 innings, allowed just one earned run on 4 hits, walked one and fanned 7 batters to earn his third victory of the season.  He is now 3-2 with a 3.82 ERA over 33 innings pitched.

Closer Alex Palsha recorded his league leading 8th save of the season.  He has yet to allow a run over 13 appearances and 15.2 innings pitched.  To date, he's allowed 7 hits, issued just 4 walks, and fanned 18 batters.

Now down to .220, the Cyclones team average keeps spiraling precipitously downwards towards the infamous Mendoza Line.  On a team level, I never thought that possible.  Whether they achieve that dubious distinction remains to be seen.

On this night, they managed 9 hits, while usually averaging 7.16 hits per game.  Their 6 runs were also somewhat of an outburst when compared to their 3.75 runs per game average over 37 games played.

Despite Wednesday's output, Brooklyn's team batting average is presently .220, and spiraling precipitously downwards towards the infamous Mendoza Line.  On a team level, I never thought that possible.  Whether they achieve that dubious distinction remains to be seen.

On the bright side, a pair of home runs gave the Cyclones 18 for the season, which ranks them 4th in the league.

Brooklyn, would then be well served by getting just a few more people on base.  They presently sport a league low .297 OBP, making them the only team below the .300 mark.  The Cyclones have drawn the 4th least walks, have the league's least amount of hits, and as you might guess, they trail the league in total bases.

The Renegades and Cyclones will play the rubber game of their series Thursday evening at Dutchess Stadium.

L.I. Ducks: The Monday Swim - 7/27/2015

From the desk of:  THE WEBBED SPIKES NINE

On Troubled Pond...

Long Island Ducks: Flock has yet to recover from disastrous trip to Sugar Land.

For the beaten and battered Ducks, there's perhaps been no more timely, and needed break in the   schedule than today's.

The Ducks have gone 7-10 since play resumed after the Atlantic League All-Star break, and are fresh off getting swept by the Bluefish in Bridgeport.

Looking back, their problems seemingly started during their June trip to Sugar Land, where the Skeeters short circuited Long Island's first half pennant bid by taking 5 of 6 games, dropping the Ducks hopelessly behind the eventual first half champ Somerset Patriots.

Professional baseball circuits from within, and outside America's borders then began pecking away at GM Michael Pfaff's roster.  The departures of Lew Ford, Reegie Corona, Mickey Jannis, and Andrew Barbosa are just a few that Long Island has endured this month.

The present standings are a clear reflection of their plight.  Long Island is 3 games below ,500, and they trail the 1st place Bridgeport Bluefish by 6 games in the Liberty Division standings.

All that said, there's still good news to report.

The Ducks began the second half leading the Wild Card standings by 10 games over the Sugar Land Skeeters, whom also have gotten off to a 7-10 second half start, and lost their last 4 in a row.  Long Island's 10 game lead, then, has remained in tact.

• Don't look now, but Jon Griffin is tied for the league lead in home runs, and is within 4 RBI of taking over the league lead from the departed Lew Ford.  With Ford out of the circuit, Griffin is the lone Atlantic League player with 50+ RBI.

The Ducks open a 7-game home stand on Tuesday against the Somerset Patriots and the Bridgeport Bluefish.

BK Cyclones: McNamara Division Proving Difficult to Conquer

From the desk of:  THE CONEY ISLAND NINE

McNamara Division:

1) Brooklyn          19-16  .543

2) Staten Island    19-16  .543

3) Aberdeen          18-17  .514

4) Hudson Valley  18-17  .514

BROOKLYN CYCLONES: Division race following same twisting, and looping track as neighboring Thunderbolt roller coaster.

The tourniquet constricting the McNamara Division continues to tighten.  All four teams are playing above .500, while just one game separates the last place club from first.

The light hitting Brooklyn Cyclones remain locked in a tie for 1st place with Staten Island, largely due to the Yankees' current 3-game losing streak.  Meanwhile, both the Aberdeen Ironbirds and Hudson Valley Renegades are tied, just a game behind.

The Cyclones now have 35 games in the books, as the NYPL arrives at their season's mid-point this week.  At this rate of play, the 2015 Wild Card winner could very well come out of the McNamara Division.

That remains to be seen, but the Cyclones had better improve at the plate.  It's clear they're operating with little room for error.  Despite their present standing, the Surf Avenue Sluggers have failed to live up that moniker this season.

They are last in the 14-team circuit in hits, and a .220 batting average, and rank 13th in runs scored, runs batted in, OBP, and slugging.

The Yankees haven't fared much better.  They're 5th worst in the league with a .244 team average.   For the moment, however, parity rules the day.  The Aberdeen Ironbirds are last in runs scored, OBP, slugging, and 13th in hits and home runs, yet, as noted, reside just a game out of first place with a .500 record to boot.

Brooklyn's Vinny Siena leads the McNamara Division with a .313 batting average.  Power wise, Michael Bernal, Brandon Brosher, and Jeff Diehl all rank in the league's top ten with 3 home runs apiece.

Staten Island's Jhalan Jackson is 2nd in the league with a .511 slugging average, while Brooklyn's Michael Bernal is 5th with a .465 mark.

Jhalan also leads the division with 4 home runs, while team mate Drew Bridges ranks in the league's top-10 with 3 homers as well.  Both Jhalan Jackson and team mate Brad Valera additionally rate in the league's top-10 with 18 RBI apiece.

This season, the Cyclones are getting by on pitching.  They lead the league with a 2.74 ERA.  The Yankees trail in 4th place with a 3.25 mark.  The Hudson Valley Renegades are making their mark in 3rd place with a 3.14 ERA.

Brooklyn pitchers have additionally surrendered the least number of hits, home runs, posted the best WHiP, and have fanned the second most batters in the league, while Renegades and Yankees pitchers have issued the least walks.

In fact, 4 of the top 6 teams in WHiP come from the McNamara Division.  In other words, the combined mound work of each club has created a too-tough-to-gauge divisional race with roughly 40 games left in the regular season.

The Cyclones fared poorly during their most recent road trip, getting clawed by the newly minted West Virginia Black Bears, then playing pedestrian baseball against Mahoning Valley.

Brooklyn is now 4-6 in their last 10 games, as is Staten Island.

TUESDAY

BROOKLYN CYCLONES

vs.

Hudson Valley Renegades

FROM

Dutchess Stadium

FISHKILL, N.Y.

After Monday's NYPL scheduled day off, the Cyclones will open a home-and-home series in Hudson Valley against the Renegades with clear first place implications.  The Yankees will host an out of division series against the Batavia Muckdogs.

The rivalry between Brooklyn and the Renegades has intensified over the last three years.

In 2012, the Renegades edged out the Cyclones for the division flag.  Brooklyn gained a Wild Card berth, however, only to get eliminated by Hudson Valley in the first round of the post-season.  Then last season, Hudson Valley outpaced the Cyclones by 4 games en route to another division flag.

Hudson Valley recently enjoyed a brief taste of first place as well.  They're the league's 5th highest slugging team, and lead the league in stolen bases.  On the mound, the Renegades are 3rd in the league with a 3.14 ERA.  They've additionally issued the least walks and are 5th in the circuit in team WHiP.

Staten Island Yanks tie Brooklyn Cyclones for first place

From the desk of:  THE CONEY ISLAND NINE

Battle of the Boroughs - II

Back over the bridge...

Yanks lead series 2-0

I - SIY 3; BKN 2

II - SIY 1; BKN 0

III - TONIGHT

BROOKLYN CYCLONES: Staten Island Yanks to Host Friday Night's Battle for First Place.

Wednesday's series opener in Staten Island ended rather ponderously for the Cyclones.

With the game tied at two, and a runner on third in the bottom of the 10th inning, Cyclones reliever Carlos Valdez intended an intentional walk to Yanks first baseman Jake Hernandez.  Instead, Valdez and catcher Brandon Brosher combined to balk home the game winning run.

That's right - a balk off victory for the Staten Island Yankees, whom reduced Brooklyn's McNamara Division first place lead to just one game.

Then came Thursday's sold out game at MCU Park in Coney Island.  Led by starter Kolton Mahoney, rival Staten Island whitewashed the Cyclones, and thus gained a 2-0 lead in the series.  More importantly, the Yankees are now tied with Brooklyn for the McNamara Division lead.

Much to the dismay of the crowd, the Surf Avenue Sluggers fell silent once again.  They managed 6 hits and just one walk against three Yankees pitchers, en route to a 1-0 defeat.  This was the second time in the last three games the Cyclones have been shut out, and falls right in line with their statistically low offensive league rankings.

Thing is, starter Matt Blackham pitched a gem for Brooklyn, but nonetheless suffered his first loss of the season.  He allowed just one earned run on 5 hits, walked one, and fanned 10 batters over 6 innings pitched.

The series now shifts back to Staten Island for a Friday night battle for first place.
