This afternoon the farm went 1-2, with two ugly loses, and a win by New Hampshire.  Dunedin did not play, as they had the day off. 

The Bisons hit five home runs and scored ten runs which masked Ricky Romero giving up six runs in 3.2 innings. New Hampshire lost, Lansing won and Dunedin were double rained out.

Buffalo won with some strong performances. Jim Negrych, Eugenio Velez and Mauro Gomez played big roles and Anthony Gose hit a two run home run. Dave Bush and Neil Wagner were the pitching stars. New Hampshire fell short, Dunedin were semi-rained out, Lansing had a nice come from behind win as Christian Lopes continued to hit.

The affiliates were 1-3 on the night with some nice performances from Dwight Smith, Andy Burns (the new Kevin Pillar), and Kevin Pillar. Buffalo faced their third successive solid pitching prospect in Zach Britton. Yes, Jim Negrych hit him too. Deck McGuire got the win down in AA and Lansing faced off against a rehabbing Johnny Cueto. Dunedin was edged out by the Cubbie affiliate. It was a fairly unspectacular day down on the farm—something you didn’t say too often last year.

The affiliates took two out of three Tuesday night. The highlights featured a great starting performance in Dunedin and a steal of home in Buffalo. The downside was the early exit of the system's top catching prospect.

The parent club weren't the only ones with the Blue Jays nickname to win in Florida. That turned out to be the only victory in a 1-3 Monday night on the farm.

The farm teams went 4-0 tonight, highlighted by two quality starts from New Hampshire's Ryan Tepera and Buffalo's Ramon Ortiz.

Three farmhands had four hits each. Kevin Pillar had four as part of a 15 hit attack, Brad Glenn had five RBI's and New Hampshire won. That was the only win for the affiliates. Justin Jackson made his pitching debut and did well, one run allowed in 2.2 innings. He followed Alonzo Gonzalez who was hit hard and who put Lansing in a hole. Christian Lopes and Chris Hawkins had four hits each in a losing cause. Buffalo had a chance to win but the bullpen and the defense blew it. Jim Negrych had three more hits. Dunedin lost a close one.

All of the affiliates hit well on Friday. It looked like it was going to be a four win night until the Lansing bullpen blew up good. Josh Thole and Andy LaRoche helped the Bisons to an extra inning win. Ryan Schimpf led New Hampshire to a come from behind win. Dunedin had lots of hitting including Derrick Chung. Dwight Smith had three hits for the Lugnuts.

Everyone’s favourite Buffalonian hit a leadoff homerun. Deck McGuire pitched reasonably well against a Yankee affiliate. Aaron Sanchez struck out six, but was lifted in the fourth inning, while K.C. Hobson went deep twice. Daniel Norris pitched better, and Dwight Smith Jr. and Kellen Sweeney went back-to-back in the first of two games Lansing played on the day. Lansing fell in the night cap. Your Toronto Blue Jays affiliates went 2-3 on the day.

The Fisher Cats had more runners thrown out at home than scored but they won 2-1. Marcus Walden had a good start. That was the only official game. Buffalo were off and Dunedin were rained out. Lansing played Michigan State and some prospects got to pitch.

The early starter was the only winner on a 1-4 Tuesday on the farm. Three one-run losses — two in extra innings — and a doubleheader sweep were the lowlights.

A rainout was the best news of the day on the farm.

Buffalo won with a big day from Moises Sierra. Anthony Gose had a good day two. Elsewhere it was bad bullpen day. New Hampshire took a bad, bad loss. They scored in the top of the twelfth in a scoreless game but saw the win slip away on a bases loaded walk and the always exciting walk-off hit by pitch. Dunedin also had a bullpen loss, Andy Burns kept hitting. Jake Marisnick played his first game of the season for Jupiter. Lansing had a tie game in the eighth but lost.

Ricky Romero was the story and he pitched well. Romero left with the lead but the bullpen coughed it up. Dunedin came back to win in extra innings. Buffalo had only two hits and lost. New Hampshire won even though Deck McGuire had another Deck McGuire type start. Lansing lost a close one.
