Notes

Orelvis Martinez homered and walked twice and is hitting .299 with a .977 OPS. Steward Berroa had three hits, including a two-run single that proved to be the difference and was 2-for-4 in stolen base attempts. Will Robertson had two hits and Damiano Palmegian went deep. Paolo Espino was one out away from a quality start but struck out seven. Mike Mayers got the win with 1-1/3 shutout innings and Hayden Juenger put up a goose egg.

Devonte Brown, Alex De Jesús and Rainer Nuñez all homered. Josh Kasevich
had two knocks and is now batting .343. Michael Dominguez gave up two runs (one earned) and struck out six over five frames.

Dasan Brown, Jace Bohrofen, Jeff Wehler, Jaden Rudd and Glenn Santiago all had two hits but the C's left 10 men on base. Brown stole a base and Bohrofen added a walk and is hitting .305 for the year despite no homers yet. Pat Gallagher gave up three runs over three innings, striking out five but he needed to throw 65 pitches. Rafael Ohashi pitched two shutout innings while Chay Yeager and Josh Mollerus put up one apiece with Mollerus striking out the side. Former Blue Jays pitcher Marco Estrada was at the park on Tuesday.

Christian Feliz cleared the fence once and drew a walk. Feliz's dinger scored Arjun Nimmala after taking one for the team. Yhoangel Aponte had two hits and drove in a. run and Tucker Toman singled home a run. Both Apointe and Toman were thrown out trying to go for a double. Bryce Arnold had a two-run single. Connor O'Halloran was also one out short of a QS but struck out nine while allowing three runs (one earned). Kai Peterson served up a walk-off grand slam to the only batter he faced to take the loss.

Enmanuel Bonilla belted a three-run homer and tacked on an RBI single and a stolen base. Gregori Cano had two knocks and a walk. Sam Shaw was 0-for-4 with a walk. Raudy Gomez had the only shutout pitching line with two goose eggs and two strikeouts. .

Remember the debate about which Blue Jays 3B prospect was better, Orelvis or Groshans?

Ohashi is still doing well. He is becoming a multi inning reliever.

Zach Britton hit a home run, walked and struck out twice today which is a good encapsulation of his offensive skills this season. He hasn't played the outfield this year, so evidently the Jays think if he has a path to the majors, it's as a catcher.

New Hampshire in fact has three older catchers with decent offensive track records who are hitting respectably this year: in addition to Britton (25), there's also Andres Sosa and Phil Clarke (both 26). I think Marc has said nice things about Sosa before. Each of them is, I would think, just about ready to get moved up to Buffalo, but there's a bit of a logjam in Buffalo behind the plate. I'd at least release McDowell to let someone move up.

Should Horowitz be up by now? Should Vogelbach be let go?

Vogelbach has had almost no playing time. I'd rather have Horwitz continue to rake in Buffalo than stagnate on the bench, so he can be at his best if injury or a trade clears the path to some playing time with the Jays.
Super Bluto - Wednesday, May 08 2024 @ 08:37 PM EDT (#445764) #
I'm sure Vogelbach would be playing more were he hitting better than .103 with a 21 OPS+. If Horwitz hits in Toronto, he'll play. And he's 26 years old. No point in baking him any longer in the minors.

What is the rationale for keeping Vogelbach over Horwitz at this point? Is it kind of a hoarder thing, where Atkins wants to preserve "depth" in the system (at least until Votto is ready to go)?

I went through gameday for C Dallas. He throws these pitches for strikes. 4 seam FB (93mph tops), sinker, cutter, slider, CH & CU.

Gameday Troy Watson. 4 seam FB (tops 98mph), Cutter, CU, CH, SL. 3IP, 50pitches, 31 Ks.

The other reason vogelbach has barely played is because Turner has been so good. But that has started to fade now and will likely continue fading.
