The Jays' affiliates had more rain-outs (2) than wins (1) on the night. Enough said.


Tacoma 8 Las Vegas 7

Davis Romero received the start and was not overly sharp. He allowed four runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.1 innings of work. Bryan Bullington relieved him and allowed one run in 1.2 innings, but struck out four. Bill Murphy had a scoreless inning and struck out the side. Brian Wolfe, though, took the loss when he allowed three runs on two hits and two walks without getting an out. Offensively, JP Arencibia was 2-for-4 with a double and three runs scored. Kevin Howard also had two hits, as did Michael Barrett. Angel Sanchez had three hits, including a double. David Dellucci was 3-for-4 with two homers and he scored three runs.

New Hampshire 4 Portland 3

Luis Perez, the Jays' representative in the upcoming Futures Game, struggled with his control and walked five batters in 6.1 innings. He gave up just three hits, though, and allowed three runs (two earned). Adrian Martin finished the game with 2.1 scoreless innings. Brian Jeroloman went 2-for-4 and drove in two runs. Scott Campbell went 1-for-3 with two runs scored. Nick Gorneault, Adam Calderone, Brian Dopirak, and Darin Mastroianni also had hits.

This might be too much to hope - but I am hoping Kyle Philips does well in his stint with the big club as I think he would make an ideal backup next year as JP may need

another year in  aaa. Philips can play some 3rd also (I wonder about lf). I hear his defense at catcher and 3rd base is poor - does anyone have a report?

Also, with the early  success of Jacob Fox (older Prospect) in Chicago, I am hoping the Jays give Brian Dopirak a shot at AAA soon - Maybe he can help in Sept.

and Replace Kevin Millar next Year.

I think Kyle Philips and Brian Dopirak are too soon to be in full time MLB but I don't mind give Philips some stints of MLB during injury time of Barajas. Once Barrett is ok, bring him up and send Kyle back down.

Given Millar's stats this year (248/.322/.709), do you think it's about time to bring Randy Ruiz up and send Millar down?
For Dopirak, he should be in AAA now, splitting time with Brett Harper at 1B, just as he did in AA with David Copper.

Not much of an update but apparently the jays are close to signing 4th rounder Ryan Goins.
