David Cooper hit his first pro HR last night as the affiliates went 2-3 with a rain out yesterday


Toledo 4 at Syracuse 3

John Parrish took his first loss of the season to go 10-1 (kind of the anti-Magee until last night).  However, while he gave up 4 runs, just one was earned.  He struck out 4 and walked 1 in 5.1 innings.  Old friend Aquilino Lopez started for the Mud Hens and gave up 2 runs in 3 innings striking out 5.

Matt Watson had 3 hits, Coats and Melilio had two and Luna hit a HR.


New Hampshire 4 at New Britain 2

Scott Richmond gave NH a rare strong start going 7 innings and giving up 1 run. 

The Fishercats banged out 12 hits on the night.  Nielsen had 3 (with a double), Arencibia 2 (double), Butler 2, and Klosterman 2.  Travis Snider failed to make contact in 5 PAs, walking once and striking out 4 times.


Dunedin - Postponed


Great Lakes 2 at Lansing 0

Trystan Magnuson held Great Lakes to just 1 run over 5 innings.  Interestingly thought he failed to register a K, or walk a batter for that matter.

The Nuts managed 8 hits, but all were singles.  Jaspe, Ahrens, and Rodriquez each had 2 hits.  Eric Eiland drew two walks.


Mahoning Valley 1 at Auburn 6

The first thing that jumps out in this boxscore is the 6 errors that Mahoning Valley made, including a hat trick by the 3B.  The next thing is that the Doubledays scored 0 unearned runs.

Josh Wells, the 6'7" righty from London, started and 1 run over 5 innings.  He struck out and walked 2.

David Cooper was 2-3 with a double and a HR, his first in the pros.  Nicholas and Van Kirk each also had two hits.


GCL Braves 6 at GCL Jays 4

If not for Cooper, Kevin Denis-Fortier might be in Auburn this season.  However, he's making the best of it in Florida.  He was 2-4 with 2 doubles and is off to a strong start.  No other Jay managed more than one hit.


3 Stars!:
3 - Matt Watson
2 - Scott Richmond
1 - David Cooper

It would be nice to see the Jays be a little more aggressive with some pitching prospects.  Watching a bunch of 22 and 23 year-old mow down low A, when there's plenty of vanilla clogging their path, is depressing.

AA New Hampshire - Richmond, Cecil, Ray, Romero, Rodriguez (Magee should be converted to relief and K-Rod called up from Dunedin.)

A+ Dunedin - Ginley, Gonzalez, Mills, Rzepcynski, Perez  (Promote the latter three from Lansing, demote Chacin and convert Martin to the pen.)

A- Lansing - Magnuson, Boone, Chacin, Cheng, Farina  (Farina's on the DL so we may need some filler here, until the Auburn guys have identified themselves.)

Listening in on the F-Cats game tonight, interestingly enough New Britian is using the shift against Snider.  Meaning the shortstop is on the right side or 2nd base.

Snider struck out for the 6th time in a row as well.

It appears as though something may have clicked for one Robert Ray.  I would say he is dangerously close to becoming a prospect.  Perhaps Marc or Gerry could tell us a bit about the tall righthander.

I saw Ray pitch two starts ago, check the New Hampshire game description here.

How could I have forgotten that Gerry.  Thanks.  Ray ended the game tonight by striking out the side in the ninth for the complete game shutout.
