A perfect night on the farm for the #BlueJays affiliates as they went 2-0 on Monday. New Hampshire had the night off while Dunedin's game was rained out.


Buffalo 9 Syracuse 6

Rowdy Tellez knocked home three runs, including a tie-breaking home run in the seventh to lift the Herd over the .500 mark. Tellez had a two-hit game and also stole his third base of the year. Tim Lopes also had two hits, including a two-run triple and stole a pair of bases. Jason Leblebijian also went deep. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. doubled, walked, drove in a run and stole a base. Danny Jansen walked, took one for the team and swiped a bag. Dalton Pompey was 1-for-5 but struck out three times.

Chris Rowley gave up five runs (four earned) over four innings with a pair of long balls among the six hits allowed. He walked four and only struck out one. He did pick up seven groundball outs. Dusty Isaacs dished out two innings of one-hit ball with three punchouts for the win. Al Alburquerque got the save with a perfect ninth that included a strikeout.


Lansing 2 South Bend 1

Kevin Smith scored the first run and drove in the second to give the Lugnuts another win. The former Maryland Terrapin singled with two outs, moved up to second on a wild pitch, stole third and proceeded to score on a throwing error by the catcher in the first inning. He added a sacrifice fly to plate the other run in the sixth. Andres Sotillo had the lone two-hit game for Lansing. Chavez Young tripled and scored the winning run while Kevin Vicuna singled and walked twice.

Yennsy Diaz
walked four but only surrendered two hits over six shutout innings for the win. He struck out three and induced nine outs on the ground. Andy Ravel gave up a run on three hits but struck out two over two frames. Dany JImenez collected the save with one strikeout in a perfect ninth.

Potential infield in a couple of years:

3B Guerrero Jr. (or Biggio)
SS Smith (or Bichette)
2B Bichette (or Smith)
1B Biggio (or Guerrero Jr.)
C Jansen
UF: Gurriel Jr., Warmoth (Urena, Vicuna, Taylor)

Outfield: Hernandez / Pillar / Alford (other options: Pompey, Young, Grichuk)

That’s pretty good talent (and a low cost base) on the positional side. It would really help if Pompey and Alford could stay healthy and get untracked.

Awesome byline #2jbrumfield!
Here's hoping Tellez' last 10 games are an indication that things are good at home and he's able to focus at the park and return to top prospect status.
Kid's been through a lot, cheering for him.

On Tuesday night today, Ngoepe hit a triple and a home run when the pitches came in near knee level. Gurriel Jr. hit a home run off the pitch belt high. My question is that does pitches usually drop in height gradually as the pitcher faces one batter at at time moving down the batting order?

Are you saying that they are currently 'tracked'?

You can google “get untracked” for discussion of the linguistic debate around the use of this term.

"Are you saying that they are currently 'tracked'?"

I'll say it. Trackman systems are installed in minor league parks.

That's why it's difficult to get untracked. :)

I had a feeling that would unrail the thread.
