NOTES


The Blue Jays selected Richard Gallardo in the minor league rule 5 draft back in 2024. After missing 2025 Gallardo made eight starts in New Hampshire before being promoted to Buffalo. After two relief appearances Gallardo made his first AAA start in this game. It didn't start very well, two hits and two walks led to four Mets runs in the first inning. Gallardo pitched better over the next three innings but then Yimi Garcia gave up a run and the rest of the bullpen three more.


Sean Keys had an RBI triple in the fourth inning and Josh Kasevich an RBI single in the sixth. That accounted for the Bisons two runs. Rafael Lantigua had two hits.


In the first NH game, an Aaron Parker home run gave NH a 2-0 lead in the first inning. The lead was 2-1 heading to the bottom of the sixth. Alex Amalfi had delivered his best start of the season, four innings, one run. Kelena Sauer was on in relief trying to hold the lead. But two hits and two walks gave the Mets three runs and a 4-2 lead. Nick Goodwin led off the top of the seventh with a double. Three walks followed to make it 4-3 and leave the tying run on third with one out. Jorge Burgos flew out to left and the runner was thrown out at home to end the game.


The Fisher Cats had only two hits and were outhit 7-2.


NH scored four runs in the third inning of game two. Jay Harry had an RBI single, a run scored on an error and Victor Arias hit a two run home run. Eddie Micheletti Jr hit a two run home run in the fifth. In total the Fisher Cats had ten hits, Jay Harry was 3-4, Victor Arias 2-3.


Mason Olson made the spot start. He held the Yard Goats off the board for three innings before they scored two off him in the fifth.


Vancouver outhit Everett 10-5. The C's had seven singles and three doubles, all three doubles came from Jacob Sharp. They pushed his batting average up to .301.


Danny Thompson Jr almost got to five innings, he finished with 4.2 innings and 86 pitches. He had six K's but walked four. Addin four hits and he gave up two runs.

Question for Vancouver Canadians watchers. What are the negatives with Jacob Sharp? Looking at his FG dashboard numbers, the only negative is the 24 for age. For fielding, he seems to have vastly improved versus the running game, with 5 passed balls being the only negative I see.

Wondering if he's being kept back because he's not good enough behind the plate, higher priories are blocking his promotion or that they gave him a chance in AA last year and he clearly wasn't ready. Or are they just letting him inflate his numbers so he can be used as trade bait at the deadline?

Sharp had a very solid first year for us in 2024, above average bat at two levels at age 22.

Absolutely crashed last year in AA tho.

now back in A+ and absolutely crushing it this year, and kinda demanding a promotion, though at age 24 in A+ that's still not anything to get excited about, even if he's a catcher.

but if he actually profiles as mlb quality with the glove, then there's definitely been enough shown at the plate to make him an actual prospect i think.

Judging from his stats, it does look like he's changed his approach - swinging less, less contact, but more power. His babip is .318, which is by a wide margin his best result in pro ball, and his ISO is also a career high. Until this year, it looked like he had the contact ability but not the contact quality.

He's an old 24 - he'll turn 25 before the season is out. Would be nice to see what the reviews on his defence are. The only thing you can glean from minor league defensive numbers are that he has been pretty terrible at throwing out runners - sub 20% both in 2024 and 2025. But this year he's up to 43%, so perhaps some change there too.

Random MILB notes: 

Nolan Perry hasn't pitched in 11 days and he isn't on the IL.  I guess that they're giving him some kind of rest/development time to reduce his innings load post-TJ.

Sean Keys has adjusted to triple A pretty well.  No homers yet in 17 PAs, but 3 extra-base hits, 3 walks and 3 strikeouts and a wRC+ over 150 again.  He hasn't hit any homers yet, and the club understandably would want to see some evidence of that and some better exit velocities before he moves up.

Down in the DSL, some good early results from Michael Mesa (a lefty-swinging outfielder, our second-highest international signee this year, $800K), who has six hits, five of which were for extra bases, and has twice as many walks as strikeouts.

some pod had Perry for an interview (can't remember which) and he said they were nursing a little shoulder soreness which was why he'd rested for a bit but he's supposed to start Saturday.

I'm curious about Dunedin's TBA tonight. They list Nedrow for one game, but this is the day Bloss should start if he's not moving up this week and Messina hasn't pitched since he was promoted and this would be his tenth day without getting into a game. You could have let both of them pitch tonight.

(I feel like Bloss is only still here because his turn falls on the same day as Bieber)

Bloss is starting for New Hampshire tonight.

Shiny!

Jack Nedrow has moved up from Dunedin to Vancouver.

Bloss' line doesn't look great but he really only made one mistake. The Goats were running wild, dude in the first stole 3rd and home.
