Vancouver and Dunedin had walk off wins. Buffalo scored two in the top of the eleventh to have the next best thing to a walk off. The FCL season started and the Jays won by a run. New Hampshire's game was postponed in the fourth.

Arjun Nimmala is being promoted to New Hampshire. Nimmala was hitting .132 on April 17th. Since then he has hit in ten of 13 games and raised his average by over 100 points and his OPS by 250, so he looks like he is ready. Austin Cates is also going to NH. That is more of a surprise as Cates has the highest ERA of Vancouvers starters. He may be promoted because he is the second oldest with the oldest being Danny Thompson Jr who is new to starting. However NH do have five starters so either one is injured, or going on the development list (Stanifer?), or Cates is going to the bullpen (less likely). Finally Nolan Perry has earned his promotion and it will be interesting to see how he fares there.

Four games and four losses. Two of the losses came in extra innings and in Dunedin the D Jays blew a ninth inning lead. After a decent start the affiliates have hit a rough patch. Buffalo, Vancouver and Dunedin all have losing records in their last ten games. Vancouver are on a six game losing streak. New Hampshire have been doing the best but they are just 5-5 over their last ten. The losses have filtered through to the prospects, many of whom haven't got going yet.

Johnny King was the brightest star in a down day for the affiliates.

On the back of three winning series the Jays head to the Twin Cities to try and make it four. But this is a four game series which could easily end in a split. A winning series needs three wins, can the Jays do it?

There wasn't a lot of hitting among the affiliates on Wednesday but they still picked up three win. The winning teams had four, five and eight hits but it was enough. New Hampshire won two, Dunedin one, while Vancouver lost and Buffalo were rained out.

The Fisher Cats were the only affiliate in the winner's circle on Tuesday.

The interim-ly managed Red Sox come to town to try and show that a manager change does motivate a team, even if many of the players are publicly upset about the change. The Sawx seem to be a tad malfunctioning right now. Lets hope it continues for three days.

After a zero win Saturday, the affiliates had just one win on Sunday. Buffalo split a doubleheader. Just two hitters had a multi hit game, three hitters had more than one RBI. And all of these hitters play for Buffalo. In addition to the losses, Dunedin were no hit just to cap the weekend.

Two games were rained out. Two teams suffered a bad loss. Buffalo and New Hampshire now have doubleheaders on Sunday.

The Jays are back home trying to sort out their too many hitters, too many pitchers and who is the Closer problems. Will Springer or Barger be back this weekend? Will Yesavage be back? Who is the closer? All questions to be answered in the next three days, or maybe not.

Three wins for the affiliates, Buffalo needed a walk off win. New Hampshire and Vancouver also won while Dunedin gave up 12 runs and lost. Sean Keys had a two home run night.

Wednesday was a quiet night on the farm. Recently the affiliate offenses have been putting up some big numbers so they decided to have a quiet night yesterday. The four teams combined for 25 hits and there were no home runs and just two players had a multi hit game. That allowed some of the pitchers to step forward and take some of the spotlight. Buffalo and Vancouver won, New Hampshire and Dunedin lost.

Buffalo and New Hampshire lost but Vancouver and Dunedin won to give the affiliates a .500 night.

Off to Anaheim to face the (checks current name) Los Angels Angels (aka Anaheim Angels, aka Los Angles Angels of Anaheim, aka California Angels).
