RANDOM FORMER ASTROS UPDATE

I'm going to start checking in on a former Astros farmhand (and/or major leaguer) and see what they're up to. Today, let's see how Astros 2013 26th round draft pick Austin Chrismon is doing these days. After being released by the Astros in March of this year, Chrismon wasted no time in getting picked up by the Ottawa Champions in the Canadian-American Independent League. Austin has had nice success with the Champions and currently has a 2-2 record in six starts and sports a 2.00 ERA and a 1.250 WHIP in 36 innings of work.

Random Observations: RHP Akeem Bostick and RHP Austin Chrismon

A Tale of Two Pitchers ...

RHP Akeem Bostick was promoted from Quad Cities to Lancaster on June 28th. In three appearances (two starts) since then, he has a 2.30 ERA and a 1.277 WHIP in 15.2 innings. Pretty good, right? BUT all of those starts have been on the road and none have been at either of the two most hitter-friendly parks in the League (Lancaster and High Desert).

RHP Austin Chrismon was promoted from Quad Cities to Lancaster on June 14th. In five appearances (three starts) since the promotion, he has a 4.12 ERA and 1.583 WHIP in 24 innings. Fairly mediocre, right? HOWEVER, Chrismon has a terrific record of 3-0 with a 0.47 ERA and a 1.158 WHIP in his three starts on the road. At Lancaster's home ballpark, The Hangar, Chrismon has not fared quite so well; he is 0-1 with a 18.00 ERA and a 3.200 WHIP in 2 relief appearances (5 IP).

The moral of the story? Context is always important. It will be interesting to see if Chrismon can start adjusting better to his home ballpark (he's scheduled to start at home tonight) and whether or not Bostick will become another pitching victim of The Hangar when he finally pitches there in a game situation.

Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Sunday, April 12, 2015

Las Vegas 8, Fresno 7

W- Hansel Robles (1-0)
L- Kevin Chapman (0-1)
S- Cody Satterwhite (1)

Fresno home runs: Matt Duffy (1, 2-run in 1st)

The Grizzlies rallied to make it a 1-run game and had the bases loaded with one out in the 9th, but... no cigar. And so, they had to settle for the split.

Matt Duffy's 2-run blast in the 1st opened up the scoring. In the 6th, Preston Tucker hit an RBI single, and Matt Dominguez ripped a 2-run double. Fresno got plenty of traffic in the 9th as Joe Sclafani singled and advanced to 3rd on a Jon Singleton double. One batter later, Duffy brought them both home with a 2-run single. Tucker drew a walk, and then Max Stassi was hit by a pitch (on his head... again) to load the bases. Unfortunately, Alex Presley grounded into the game-ending double play. Sclafani finished 2-3 and scored 3 runs. Singleton was 2-5 with that double and scored twice. Duffy and Presley also went 2-5.

Luis Cruz went 5 innings and allowed 3 runs (all on home runs) on 4 hits (solo and 2-run homers), walked 1, and struck out 5. Darin Downs allowed a run on 2 hits, walked 1, and struck out 1 in the 6th. Kevin Chapman was charged with the loss; he got 2 outs in the 7th, but allowed 3 runs (2 inherited runners charged to him) on 2 hits, walked 1, and struck out 1. Jason Stoffel came on and faced a bases-loaded situation in the 7th; he allowed 2 of the 3 runners he inherited from Chapman to score. Stoffel walked 2 and struck out 1 in 1.1 innings. Jordan Jankowski allowed a run on 2 hits and struck out 2 in the 9th inning.

In the second leg of their season-opening homestand, the Grizzlies are hosting Salt Lake for 4 games. In game 1, Brady Rodgers will face Zach Stewart at 6:35 Pacific.

Corpus Christi 4, Tulsa 0

W- Lance McCullers (1-0)
L- Jeremy Kehrt (0-1)

CC home runs: Telvin Nash (2, solo in 3rd)

4 games, 4 wins for the Hooks. 4 pitchers collaborated on the first Hooks shutout of the year.

Conrad Gregor and Teoscar Hernandez led off the 2nd with a single and a walk, respectively. Gregor came around to score the game's first run on a Leo Heras single. One batter later, Teoscar scored on a Brandon Meredith single. Telvin Nash homered for the 2nd straight game; this one was a solo shot in the 3rd. Meredith, who finished 2-4, brought home the final run of the afternoon with an RBI double in the 6th inning. Leo Heras and Tony Kemp also finished 2-4. Carlos Correa went 0-5, but he stole his first base of the season.

Lance McCullers was solid in his AA debut, and he brought the heat too; he was clocked as high as 99 with his fastball. He allowed 4 hits, walked 3, and struck out 7 over 5 shutout innings. Travis Ballew tagged in for 2 innings, allowing 2 hits and striking out 3. Dan Minor, in his season debut, worked around a walk to throw a scoreless 8th, and Tyson Perez finished it off with a 1-2-3 9th inning.

In the middle game of this series, Mike Hauschild will face Matt Shelton at 7:05.

Lancaster 2, San Jose 1

W- Frederick Tiburcio (1-0)
L- Mason McVay (0-1)

Lancaster home runs: None.

The JetHawks got the split to begin the year; both of their wins came in walk-off fashion via RBI singles. Both teams traded sacrifice flies in the 2nd inning; the JetHawks got theirs courtesy of Jose Fernandez. Jobduan Morales delivered the game-winner in the bottom of the 9th after he had gone 0-3, striking out in all 3 of his trips to the plate. Chan-Jong Moon went 2-4 with a double, and Chase McDonald finished 2-3 with a run scored and a walk.

Troy Scribner has put up some gaudy numbers since signing as an undrafted free agent in 2013. He had an outstanding 2015 debut as he allowed just 1 run on 2 hits, walked 1, and struck out 8 over 6 innings. Tyler Brunnemann was the first man out; he allowed a hit and walked 2 over 2.1 scoreless. Those 2 walks came in the top of the 9th, which brought about Frederick Tiburcio's entrance. He immediately gave up a single to Austin Slater, which loaded the bases. However, Tiburcio extricated himself from that pickle by striking out Tyler Horan and Brian Ragira to end the threat. And, when Morales came through, he got the win.

Lancaster will now host Stockton for 3 games. In the opener, Adrian Houser will take on Lou Trivino at 6:30 Pacific.

Quad Cities 7, Clinton 2

W- Austin Chrismon (1-0)
L- Patrick Peterson (0-1)

QC home runs: Jake Nottingham (1, solo in 5th)

The Banditos won their first game in front of their home crowd as they broke out for 5 runs in the 5th.

Jake Nottingham started it all off in that inning with a home run. Bobby Boyd, D.J. Fisher, and Nick Tanielu followed with RBI singles, and Tanielu wound up scoring on an error. Nottingham led off the 6th with a double, and after making his way around the bases, he'd score on a sac fly from Boyd. Alfredo Gonzalez scored on a balk in the 8th. Nottingham wound up finishing a triple shy of the cycle, and Boyd went 2-3 with his first stolen base of the season.

Austin Chrismon was excellent in his 6 innings; after giving up singles to the first 2 batters of the game, which Clinton got a sac fly out of, he went on a roll, retiring 18 of the final 19 batters he faced. Those 2 singles were the only hits he allowed in 6 innings, and that run was unearned. Chrismon walked 1 and struck out 3. Eric Peterson, whose twin brother, Patrick, was the starting pitcher for Clinton in this game, was the first man out of the bullpen, and he allowed a run on 2 hits and struck out 1 in 2 innings. Ryan Thompson worked around a hit to finish off the game, striking out 2 in the 9th.

Game 2 of this series features Brock Dykxhoorn on the mound for the River Bandits. He'll face Lukas Schiraldi at 7:00.

Three Stars: Pitchers

Ooh, tough decision. Once again, I find myself unable to rank 3 outstanding mound performances. So, once again, the #1 star for pitchers will go to all three Three Stars candidates: Austin Chrismon, Troy Scribner, and Lance McCullers.

Austin Chrismon, RHP, Quad Cities

W (1-0); 6 IP, 2 H, unearned run, BB, 3 K

Troy Scribner, RHP, Lancaster

6 IP, 2 H, ER, BB, 8 K

Lance McCullers, RHP, Corpus Christi

W (1-0); 5 IP, 4 H, 3 BB, 7 K

Honorable Mentions


- Frederick Tiburcio getting himself, and Tyler Brunnemann, out of a hazardous situation by getting the final 2 outs of the 9th via strikeout.
- Joe Sclafani has done nothing but perform since entering the organization, and he's continuing to make the most of his opportunities.
- Jobduan Morales was having a rough afternoon, but he pulled himself together and delivered the game-winning hit.
- Chase McDonald played all 4 games in the San Jose series and recorded 2 hits in 3 of them.
- Travis Ballew, Dan Minor, and Tyson Perez helped finish off Tulsa by keeping them off the scoreboard.
- Jon Singleton played in all 4 games of the Vegas series and got a hit in all of them. His struggles in Houston last year were well-documented, but we haven't heard the last of him. He can still be a contributor to the Astros.

Astros Minor League Recaps

Saturday's Games

Greeneville Astros 6, Pulaski Mariners 5
Greeneville broke their losing skid on Saturday at four games. Jordan Mills (4-1) threw the first five innings and tallied the win, giving up two runs on three hits, walking one and K-ing three. Austin Chrismon earned his first ever save after throwing the final four frames. Chrismon had to work for it, allowing three runs, including a homer in the ninth, four hits, two walks as he struck out four. Angel Ibanez was the only Astro with more than one hit in the game, batting two-for-three with a double, two runs scored, an RBI, a walk and a strikeout. Brian Holberton batted one-for-three with a pair of RBI, a double and a walk.

GCL Pirates 2, GCL Astros 3

This game was tied in the sixth and the Astros went on to win it in the bottom of the ninth after Jose Fernandez (2X4 R 2B) and Ydarqui Marte (1X2 2B 2RBI BB) hit back-to-back doubles. Marte's was good for the win, in walk off fashion, at home. Luis Ordosgoitti started on the hill for the Astros and through five only allowed a hit, walking a pair and striking out three. Matt Heidenreich picked up his first blown save after allowing two runs that tied the game in the sixth. Zachary Dando (1-1) pitched the final two frames and left with the win, not giving up a hit, walking one and striking out two. Jose Solano (1X3 RBI BB SO) knocked in the first run of the game in the third with an RBI single, his 28th RBI of the season.

DSL Astros 5, DSL Rays 3

The DSL Astros scored three runs in the fourth and pulled away for what would be a win a Saturday. Four Rays errors on the night and two in the fourth inning would help them. Harold Arauz (4-0) tossed the first six innings and earned the win, allowing two runs on seven hits as he struck out three. Angel Heredia collected his 12th save after working the final two frames. Heredia recorded a run, three hits and four Ks, retiring the final five in order. Kristian Trompiz was the only player with multiple hits, batting two-for-five and Alexander Melendez (1X3 R 2B 2RBI BB) recorded the only Astros extra base hit of the game and stole second and third base in the three-run fourth. [Note from Jayne: The DSL team held on until a week left to play in the season before being eliminated from playoff contention and are poised to put up a winning record for the season, a far cry from their 22-47 record in 2012. Well done!!!]

Tri-City ValleyCats 6, Staten Island Yankees 3

Tri-City had the lead the entire game and their four runs in the seventh was just icing on the cake of their third win in a row. No ValleyCat had more than one hit and only one recorded and extra base hit on Saturday. To start the seventh inning, three of the first four batters drew walks, loading the bases. Tyler White (1X4 R 2RBI) then hit a single, bringing two runs home. The final two runs of the inning scored on a fielding error and wild pitch. Troy Scribner (1-1) threw five and a third, coming on for the last out of the third, and tallied the win. Scribner allowed a run on four hits, walked one and struck out eight along the way. Tyler Brunnemann was awarded his first save after taking over for the last two outs of the game. Charles Basford began the inning, but quickly gave up two runs before Brunnemann entered to retire the final two batters in order.

Burlington Bees 6, Quad Cities River Bandits 4

Quad Cities moved to five losses in a row after this game on Saturday. Joe Bircher (3-3) was on the hill for the first five frames and would take the loss after giving up five runs, 10 hits and a walk during his shift. Carlos Correa was on fire at the plate as the only River Bandit with multiple hits. Correa hit three-for-three in the game with two doubles, an RBI, a walk, a run scored and a stolen base.

High Desert Mavericks 13, Lancaster JetHawks 9

13 proved to be very unlucky for Lancaster on Saturday, representing the runs scored against them in the loss. Even after a six-run eighth inning, Lancaster was still short five runs for the tie. Jesse Wierzbicki (1X5 R HR 3RBI SO) and Dan Gulbransen (1X5 R HR RBISO) were part of the offense in the eighth, hitting back-to-back home runs for the first three ticks of their run in the inning. MP Cokinos (2X5 R 2RBI) added a couple RBI to his total in the eighth with an RBI single. Carlos Perdomo went three-for-three in the game, scoring two runs and drawing a walk. Brady Rodgers started and collected the loss after five and two-thirds innings on the bump. Rodgers was charged with six runs (5 ER) on 12 hits, two walks while he struck out seven.

Corpus Christi Hooks 3, Arkansas Travelers 9

The Hooks allowed all nine runs through the first three innings and spent the rest of the game trying to catch up. After a single in the fourth, Hooks pitchers didn't allow any more hits or walks in the game, although four Arkansas batters reached after being hit by pitches in that time. Kyle Hallock (0-3) picked up the loss after working the first two frames. Hallock allowed seven runs on seven hits (2HR), walked two and struck out one. Kiké Hernandez went three-for-four batting with two runs scored, two doubles and a walk. Raoul Torrez (2X4 2RBI BB SO), Domingo Santana (2X2 2B BB) and Drew Muren (2X4 R SO) all had two hits in the game.

Albuquerque Isotopes 1, Oklahoma City RedHawks 5

After allowing an unearned run in the first, the RedHawks went on to shutout Albuquerque for the rest of the game, picking up their third win in a row. Giving up just a pair of singles in the fourth and ninth innings after that. Starter Paul Clemens (3-1) picked up the win, going six and two-thirds, allowing the unearned run, two hits, walking three and striking out six. Brandon Laird (2X4 R), Jimmy Paredes (2X3 RBB SO) and Che-Hsuan Lin (2X4 R SO) all had two hits in the game and scored runs, but Carlos Perez led the offensive charge, batting two-for-three with a run scored, a double, two RBI and one strikeout.   

Player of the Day: Three players, Carlos Correa, Carlos Perdomo and Kiké Hernandez share the crown today. All three were on fire yesterday at the plate and perhaps more impressive, between the three—not one strikeout.

Pitcher of the Day: Paul Clemens pitched well Saturday and is taking the honor today because of it. Austin Chrismon also gets a mention for his first career save, a four inning affair. [Note from Jayne: I'm giving Luis Ordosgoitti an honorable mention in his rehab start with the GCL. I've always been a fan of Ordosgoitti and I'm happy to see him healthy and pitching well again.]
