Noah Syndergaard beat the Fisher Cats by not allowing an earned run in seven innings. Brett Lawrie had 2 hits DH'ing in that game. Vancouver laid down a beating. The GCL Jays won both ends of a doubleheader.

Elsewhere the news was not as good. Buffalo and Dunedin had chances to tie the games in the ninth but fell short. Lansing were one hit. Bluefield had just five hits.

I was wrong, my mistake. I regret, look at the price I paid.

"We don't buy our titles, so there are summers when we stink."

I was thinking about how the ex-Jays are doing this year, not just the ones who were playing here at some point in 2012, as many have left, but also some of the older ones.

Ryan Schimpf hit a three run home run to deliver a one run win to New Hampshire. Four teams suffered walk-off losses, Buffalo in the ninth, Dunedin in the 11th, Vancouver in the 10th and Bluefield in the 13th. Lansing lost a walk-fest.

Brett Lawrie was hitless. Among prospects Pillar and Gose were also without a hit, AJ Jimenez had a couple including a big fly, Burns had one, Nessy also hit one out, Michael Crouse had three hits, Matt Dean had two. Deck McGuire gave up five runs in five innings.

At last, an opponent who's below .500.

Comebacks galore as a few clubs must have been watching Independence Day today before playing on Independence Day. Bluefield came from behind, Dunedin walked off, and New Hampshire would have too if it weren’t Kevin Ahrens. The affiliates were 4-4 on the day.

You got a reaction. You got a reaction, didn't you?

Roberto Osuna had his worst career outing, could another visit to the doctor be coming soon?  Sean Nolin had another fantastic start for New Hampshire, with offensive help from Ryan Schimpf.  Dunedin lost in extra innings, despite a strong outing from Aaron Sanchez. 

When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer.

The affiliates finished with three wins in five tries Tuesday night with all starting pitching performances rating from awesome to half-decent. The GCL Blue Jays had a doubleheader rained out while Dunedin and Bluefield had the day off.

Whistling tunes, we're kissing baboons in the jungle — it's a knockout.

In other words, not as much detail in this one. The affiliates lost four of five, including a shutout and an extra-innings loss.

He was back and forth so many times to see that gal, the path he wore became the Rideau Canal.

This afternoon the farm was 3-2, with Dunedin's game versus Tampa suspended in the second inning.  DJ Davis and Mitch Nay continued to hit well early into the season for Bluefield.  Kevin Pillar had another monster game Buffalo this afternoon again.
