Justin Ruggiano just got a mention on MLB Tonight. They're asking Sean Casey to describe a brawl he was involved in when James Shields hit Coco Crisp. Casey charged out, tried to hit James and ultimately found himself placed in a headlock. He said he looked up trying to figure out who had him and it was Justin Ruggiano. ... Then he basically said it turned into a friendly conversation at that point. "Hey Ruge, what's up?" "Not much Case, how you doing?" ...all while holding Sean in a headlock in the bottom of a brawl dogpile.

Thankfully the college Aggies played well yesterday because the MLB guys scuffled. Wacha gave up 6 in 4 innings and Strip gave up 5 in 4.2 and took the loss.

Minter now on Carolina Mudcats and pitched 2 scoreless innings with 4 k's in his debut.

Daniel Mengden is very close to a call up in the A's organization. Even though this is his first season above the A ball level, he has been tearing it up.
2016 stats:
2-0 0.78 ERA 1.174 WHIP in AA
3-1 1.39 ERA 0.838 WHIP in AAA
A's having trouble with the starting rotation lately so I would expect it in the next few weeks.

Hopefully he sends us a nice "Mengden" A's jersey for the wall o' jerseys. Congratlations to him.

Top 4 years that have featured Aggies on a Major League roster:
2002: 7 Players - Chuck Knoblauch, Chad Allen, Ryan Rupe, Kelly Wunsch, Kevin Beirne, Jason Tyner, Casey Fossum
2016: 8 Players - Logan Kensing, Alex Wilson, Michael Wacha, Justin Ruggiano, Tyler Naquin, Ross Stripling, Cliff Pennington, Daniel Mengden
2000: 8 players - Chuck Knoblauch, Trey Moore, Chad Allen, Ryan Rupe, Kelly Wunsch, Matt Blank, Kevin Beirne, Jason Tyner
2001: 10 players - Chuck Knoblauch, Trey Moore, Chad Allen, Ryan Rupe, Kelly Wunsch, Matt Blank, Kevin Beirne, Jason Tyner, Justin Atchley, Casey Fossum
We could still possibly see Kyle Martin and John Stilson make late season debuts this year, or Brandon Hicks could make his way back to a major league roster.
Years featuring 6 Aggies on MLB rosters: 2008, 2013, 2014
Years featuring 5 Aggies on MLB rosters: 1989, 1990, 1993, 1994, 1997, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011 (if you count Anthony Vasquez), 2015
1993 and 1994 had Troy Neel on an MLB roster, but he did not play baseball at Texas A&M
2002: 7 Players - Chuck Knoblauch, Chad Allen, Ryan Rupe, Kelly Wunsch, Kevin Beirne, Jason Tyner, Casey Fossum

I hate that the Astros traded him for one good start from Scott Kazmir.

Coming off the DL, A.J. Minter has now thrown 12.0 innings allowing 0 runs, 4 hits, 4 walks, and 13 Ks splitting time between the Braves' A and A+ teams.

Watched Nick Banks play his first pro game tonight in Aberdeen, MD for the Auburn (NY) Doubledays. Team won 4-0.
Nick smoked a line drive that was caught by 3B on first at bat. Reached on an error and scored. Grounded out twice.
Was an absolute class act signing autographs and taking pictures with kids after game. Barely recognized him with no beard or eye black. Can't wait to watch him advance.

JB Moss with three hits in debut for Danville Braves. 2 runs and 2 RBI's as well.
Alex Wilson having a solid overall year for the Tigers. Couple of bad outings but solid overall.
Good day today for Naquin.

Looks like Ronnie started playing rookie ball starting on June 22. He's already hit 3 home runs
