Nuno dominant as Scorpions lose again

Yankees pitcher Vidal Nuno pitched 5 scoreless innings tonight as the Scorpions lost again to the Solar Sox, 7-3, dropping their record to 7-13. This losing streak's been tough on the Scorps, but at least Nuno pitched well in this one. They lost, but this was still overall a good night for them. 

Besides Nuno, Yankees pitchers Brett Gerritse and James Pazos also appeared in this loss. Neither of them pitched very well, as Gerritse gave up 3 earned runs in just one third of inning, bringing his ERA up to 9.39, while Pazos gave up a run while recording just two outs, bringing his ERA up to 2.84. They both had bad nights, but you'd prefer they struggle now in the AFL than when the minor league seasons pick up again in the spring. 

The holy Pinstripes hitter who played in this one, Peter O'Brien, actually played really well, going 2-for-4 with two RBIs. His nice effort came in a loss, but, you know, it was still a nice effort.

Scorpions continue to look terrible; fall to Solar Sox 7-0

Well, if you thought the Scorpions were going to end their losing streak today, you were wrong. Because instead of coming out and putting up a nice fight like a team riding a 6-game losing streak should do, the Scorps played what was probably their worst game of the season this afternoon at home, losing to the Mesa Solar Sox, 7-0. 

This defeat is Scottsdale's seventh consecutive, meaning their overall record is now 7-13. Needless to say, this is getting boring. They just lose every day. On the bright side, Yankees prospect Mason Williams did hit a double today in one of his four ABs, but besides that, this game was awful. Just really awful. 

Scorpions struggles continue in 7-4 loss in Mesa

Yankees third base prospect Peter O'Brien went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts tonight as the Scorpions dropped their fifth straight game to the Mesa Solar Sox, 7-4. I don't know what's going on with this team, as they just seem to never compete anymore. Their one win came thanks to a ninth inning rally, and since then they just keep getting the crap beat out of them. 

Unfortunetally, O'Brien was the only Yankees prospect who played in this one. So, since the post was so short, I might as well just say that his average on the season has now dropped to a terrible, .083. That's pretty bad, but he still has plenty of time to turn things around.
