Patrick Murphy was dominant for seven innings on Wednesday. But the Dunedin bullpen, and Vancouver's too, coughed up four runs in the ninth to turn likely wins into two losses. Lansing also dominated but with offense, Ryan Noda and Chavez Young led the hitters. Bluefield had a late lead but lost it and the game. Buffalo and New Hampshire had their all-star breaks and the GCL Jays had a routine day off. In Vancouver's loss Otto Lopez went four for four and has yet to strike out with Vancouver.

The #BlueJays affiliates won three of four Tuesday. Buffalo and New Hampshire are off due to the All-Star break. Lansing and Vancouver had the day off. The DSL Blue Jays were rained out.

Two walkoffs and two shutout victories highlight a nearly perfect Monday night on the farm as the #BlueJays affiliates won five out of six.

Some really solid pitching performances across the farm over the weekend while some fringe-y prospects continue to put themselves on the map. Cavan Biggio could well hit 30 homeruns this season and Kevin Smith continues to rake. Way down there our high draft picks from this past year's draft are off to impressive starts.

Jordan Groshans has played eleven professional games. He has at least one hit in every one of them. Among the affiliates, Buffalo and New Hampshire did not get good starting pitching and lost. Dunedin scored three runs total and swept a doubleheader. Patrick Murphy pitched a complete game. Lansing and Bluefield lost. Vancouver and the GCL Jays won.

The Jays affiliates had a tough night, all of them lost, other than Bluefield who had to go to extra innings to win and Dunedin who were rained out. In addition to the game reports, I looked at the progress of the high school hitters the Jays have drafted in the last ten years.

The #BlueJays affiliates split their games Tuesday.

The #BlueJays affiliates posted a 3-5 record on Monday with two of the victories resulting in shutouts.

Trading season has begun.  Shoe #1 fell, Steve Pearce goes to to the team that drafted him in 2004 but couldn't sign him, Boston, along with cash ($1.66 mil) to get Santiago Espinal, an infielder in A+.

Jon Harris was promoted to AAA and took on the Paw Sox including Adam Lind, Rusney Castillo and Mike Olt. He pitched well and, backed by a Rowdy Tellez home run, got the win on his debut. Dunedin came from behind to win. Lansing won again with Maximo Castillo getting the measure of the Midwest League. Vancouver also won with Griffin Conine hitting his first professional home run. Bluefield won with a hitter who is hitting over .500. The DSL Jays also won. New Hampshire were rained out, the GCL Jays had the day off.
