Buffalo and New Hampshire each played a doubleheader and in total they booked four losses. Each starting pitcher gave up early runs and put their hitters in a hole. The hitters didn't do much either, they had 14 hits over four games. Dunedin were also in an early hole and the hitters did better but they came up one run short. Vancouver were the opposite, Pat Gallagher made a spot start and was almost perfect over four innings. Meanwhile the hitters scored early and often. The FCL Jays played a yo-yo game and also came out on top.

NOTES


In game one Buffalo were held to three hits, all singles, while Adam Kloffenstein gave up four runs in the first two innings. Mick Abel, fresh off six shutout innings for Philadelphia in the major leagues, struck out eight in six innings.


In game two Andrew Bash gave up four runs in the second inning, all unearned, and the Bisons were again in a 4-0 hole. Buffalo got their first hit in the sixth inning and it drove in two runs. Josh Rivera doubled following a walk and a hit batter. The Bisons finished with two hits, they had five hits over the two games.


Devereaux Harrison could not get out of the first inning in the first NH game. Four runs, 35 pitches, 18 strikes, 17 balls. The hitters had just three hits in the game.


Juaron Watts-Brown was down 2-0 two hitters into his AA debut in game two. He gave up another two run home run in the fourth. He finished with five innings in the books, five runs allowed, five K's. NH bats were quiet again. They had three hits through six innings. They had three more hits in the seventh including Peyton Williams' third home run. It has been a tough go for Williams, hitting under .200 without much power. Dasan Brown was 2-2 with a walk.


Pat Gallagher made his first start of the season for Vancouver and he threw four almost perfect innings, just one walk.


The C's hitters were hot with 13 hits. Every hitter had at least one hit except Sean Keys and he walked three times. Nick Goodwin homered, his second. He added a single and had four RBI.


Dunedin's Gilberto Batista went five innings but Tampa scored four runs off him. Dunedin had ten hits, Sam Shaw, Manuel Beltre and Jean Joseph had two each.


In the FCL Andres Arias was hitting just above .100 with a .350 OPS two days ago. He homered yesterday and again on Saturday. He also singled and walked three times. His OPS is now .744, a bump of almost .400 in two days. Enmanuel Bonilla hit his first home run of the season. Silvano Hechavarria just was tagged with an unearned run in five innings but he had just one K.

Dasan Brown's minor league career is interesting. He's 23 in double A, but he lost a year due to COVID. He struggled in 2021 after the lost year, but since then, he has mastered each level after a period of adjustment. Will he outrun the march of time?

Right now, he's getting there in double A. His W/K is evening out nicely, and he has a reasonable chance to get to the levels he achieved in A and A+ ball. His medium range power has not shown yet in double A. New Hampshire is not an easy park for a right-handed hitter, and I'll be watching his doubles and triples rate more than the home runs. And also his LDs vs. his pop-ups.

He has improved his stolen base efficiency a lot over the last 2 years. He's 41-4 in less than a season's worth of games. Combined with his plus defence in centerfield, the bar is not high for his batting prowess.

It won't be easy, but he has made progress and I am rooting for him. It would be cool if he and Sam Shaw joined Guerrero Jr. in the opening day lineup in a few years.
