When Vin Scully began his broadcasting career, Connie Mack was managing the Philadelphia A's. How's that for for tying the game's history together?
The Blue Jays road trip continues with four games at Target Field in Minneapolis.
Buffalo and New Hampshire lost. Dunedin got in one game of their scheduled doubleheader and won. Vancouver's game against Tri-City was suspended due to rain. It will be picked up today with a seven-inning game to follow after that.
Hitters are streaky. Your favourite slugger seems to go 3-for-5 with a double and a home run every game for a week, and then they'll go hitless for three straight games. This is normal: there are peaks and valleys to everybody's production. What separates a hitter like Mike Trout from a hitter like Santiago Espinal is how cold "cold" gets.

Buffalo won. Dunedin's game in Lakeland was postponed due to lightning. A doubleheader is scheduled for today.
Now that the wheeling and dealing is done, here's an overdue thread for the post-mortem. Because you're still talking, and the original now stands at more than 300 comments, which is pretty Unwieldy.
Road trip, beginning with two in that old House of Horrors, Tropicana Field.
So there I was on the last Blue Jays off day thinking - I didn't prepare on off-day time waster, for a day without baseball. How will I ever look anyone in their virtual eyes again?
Oh quite easily, I assure you.
Jimmy Robbins had eleven strikeouts in Vancouver's win. Cooper Benson had eight K's in Dunedin's win. New Hampshire just hit four home runs to help them win. Buffalo suffered the only loss as Casey Lawrence was not his usual self.
Buffalo came from behind with three runs in the eighth to win. New Hampshire came from behind with two runs in the ninth to win. Dunedin won from the front. Vancouver did come back from a 4-1 deficit but ultimately lost. Addison Barger had four hits. This is your abbreviated long weekend minor league update.
Some nights your minor league update struggles to find players to put in the three stars. This was not the case on Friday. Otto Lopez had four hits with two home runs. Three other players had three hits. Thomas Hatch went seven innings. Riley Tirotta scored the winning run for Vancouver by singling, stealing two bases, and scoring on a two out bunt.
Buffalo, Vancouver, Dunedin and the FCL Jays all won. New Hampshire were the only losers.

New Hampshire hit four home runs, two from Orelvis Martinez, on their way to racking up 17 runs. Dunedin used two home runs in the last inning to turn a loss into a win in game one of their doubleheader. They scored eight runs in game two without a home run. While New Hampshire and Dunedin were feasting on runs, Buffalo and Vancouver were fasting, Vancouver had just one hit in ten innings.
Things have not gone as planned for the 2022 Tigers.
Buffalo, New Hampshire and Dunedin won Wednesday. Vancouver didn't.
The affiliates were 0-3 Tuesday. Dunedin's game in Clearwater was rained out. Those teams will play two today.
