Your Blue Jays head into Boston with one thing on their minds....can we win one game in this series? That's how things have been going recently. Boston have had an up and down season so far, and many would say they have disappointed, but their record is 41-35 and they would be in the playoffs if the season ended now. The Red Sox have won seven of their last eight games and their only loss in that spell came in 17 innings. As it happens, the Red Sox throw out three starters against the Jays with none of them having a winning record. But don't get your hopes up. Chris Sale is 3-7, Rick Porcello 5-6, and Saturday's starter, Brian Johnson, is 1-1.

Bo Bichette drove in five runs in one inning, leading Buffalo to the only affiliate win on the night. Jon Harris was hit by a pitch and taken out while taking the loss. Dunedin lost a close one. Lansing were wellbeaten. Adam Kloffenstein pitched well for Vancouver but it wasn't enough. Bluefield were blown out early.

Thomas Pannone had his ups and downs in Toronto but, now that he is back in Buffalo, he punched out eight hitters in four innings. Anthony Alford had three hits in the Bisons win. New Hampshire lost in the tenth inning. Vancouver lost despite strong pitching from Canadian pitcher Alex Nolan. Bluefield had good hitting and good pitching in their shutout win. The DSL Jays also won. Neither Dunedin (rain) or Lansing (all-star) played.

#BlueJays affiliates were 2-5 Tuesday night. Lansing had the night off. #LetsGoBlueJays

#BlueJays affiliates won their two completed games Monday night. Dunedin's game against Tampa was suspended due to wet grounds with the D-Jays trailing 4-1 in the top of the fifth. #LetsGoBlueJays

It's a tough Fathers Day weekend for the Jays, they will do well to win one game. It's also the "Biggio goes home" weekend and the "Gurriel brothers" weekend.

The Vancouver Canadians kick off their season on Friday with Adam Kloffenstein on the mound. Saturday's game is being televised on Sportsnet Pacific, my PVR is set. On Thursday, the Buffalo hitters copied the parent club by scoring 11 runs. New Hampshire and Lansing lost. Dunedin were rained out.

Socrates Brito knows how to drive in a run. On this day he did it five times, not just five RBI, but five different times he drove in a run. Anthony Alford also had a good game as the Bisons recovered from a poor start by Sean Reid-Foley to get a win. New Hampshire lost in extras. Dunedin won again with a shutout. Lansing split a doubleheader.

Three shutout wins helped boost a 4-2 Tuesday night for the #BlueJays affiliates with Dunedin clinching a playoff berth. #LetsGoBlueJays

The 23-42 Blue Jays take on the 20-45 Orioles. The Orioles will be hoping for a sweep to get themselves out of being alone in last place in the division because, as we all know, misery loves company. Misery loves company could be the sub-heading for this series with both teams tanking 2019. This is the start of a 16 game stretch without an off-day for the Jays. After this three gamer, they play 13 against the Astros, Angels, Red Sox and Yankees so make hay against the Orioles guys.

The #BlueJays affiliates lost both of their games Monday. Buffalo and New Hampshire had the night off. Dunedin was rained out. #BlueJays #LetsGoBlueJays

The Jays have been around since 1977 so they have had a lot of drafts. Which is the strongest and which the weakest? Lets see if we can tell.

Chavez Young finally had a big game leading Dunedin to a win. Anthony Alford also did well, three hits, and Graham Spraker pitched well for Buffalo in a spot start. The Bisons also won. Lansing made it three wins with 14 hits including a home run by Gabriel Moreno and three triples. New Hampshire lost.
