I don't care, I get my share, don't feel no deprivation, the more I get the better it is.

Buffalo won thanks to Mauro Gomez who hit two home runs. Jose Reyes had two hits. Chad Jenkins was OK'ish.

Sean Nolin pitched seven strong to lead New Hampshire to the win.

Kyle Drabek started for Dunedin and took the loss.

Roberto Osuna had a bad start and Lansing lost big.

Vancouver rallied from a five run deficit in the sixth to win.

Bluefield had excellent pitching from Tom Robson and Jairo Labourt and DJ Davis drove in three runs as the Jays won.

The GCL Jays started their season with a double header sweep of the Phillies. 17 different hitters got to start a game.

I am control, there's no way you can shake me, I am your debt, and you know you can't pay me.

It was an eventful night on the farm. Kevin Pillar and Andy Burns made their debuts with multi-hits games. Aaron Sanchez returned from the DL and didn't miss a beat. Burns and DJ Davis were each a home run short of the cycle.

Pillar was backed up with good pitching to lead Buffalo to the win. Burns debut was less successful as New Hampshire lost a winnable game. Dunedin had good pitching behind Sanchez and won. Lansing pitchers were blown out and the hitters went hitless. Bluefield's pitchers, Zak Wasilewski and Alberto Tirado were roughed up a bit in their first game. DJ Davis had three hits but it wasn't enough. Vancouver took an early lead and held on for a one run win.

Going with the flow, it's all a game to me, seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you.

Almost a full slate of games today as all the affiliates but the Gulf Coast League squad were in action. Short season, not quite Northwest League, but definitely not GCL, Bluefield played their first game of the season topping the visiting Greeneville squad. Gus Pierre—all two walks of him—has broken the High-A voodoo and played tonight for Dunedin. He didn’t help much as Dunedin was shutout by Daytona. A.J. Jimenez continues to treat Double-A like Brennan treats Dale in Step Brothers before they realize they’re BFF (Note: this means that Jimenez continues to swing the bat well). New Hampshire lost. Anthony Gose sat today, not surprising considering the shenanigans of last night and the dressing down by Marty Brown. Buffalo lost a tight one this afternoon and have struggled mightily recently. Way down south Ronniel Demorizi, a bonus baby from a few years back went deep twice. He’s got some nice numbers down there and should graduate from the island at the end of the year. The DSL Jays won. Who am I forgetting? Oh, Vancouver won.

Ricky Romero had his third respectable start in a row for Buffalo, in a game where Mauro Gomez hit another home run.  Jose Reyes continued to get back into game-shape with Dunedin before he returns to Toronto in the near future.

Come on swing it, 1 - 2 - 3 - now we come to the pay off.

"Not the box factory again, Seymour."

A 3-2 night for the affiliates featured two overtime victories and a six-run rally in the ninth. Dunedin needs a victory today to clinch their first-half division title. The bad news was a shutout loss and an overtime loss.

Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat, playin' it play by play.

Here are some photos from the Vancouver Canadians home opener against Spokane Monday night.

The Vancouver Canadians gather along the third base line for the lineup introduction.

The affiliates took three out of four Monday night. I got to witness the lone loss in person!

He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again, you might say he found a key for every door.

Today was a new day for New Hampshire, they forgot about giving up 16 runs yesterday and their bats put together 22 runs.  Marcus Stroman had another fantastic start, and Mauro Gomez hit another home run.
