September starts tomorrow! Here are some questions about what you'd like to see with regards to call-ups.
Someone please tell me if I am crazy. I opened up the first box score of the evening and thought "hey, new box scores! These are purdy!" However, upon venturing back to old MLUs to find out when exactly the change took place, I discovered that they've been in use for at least the last four weeks. So, either all the MILB box scores have been retrofitted, or I'm a ball short of a full count. WHICH IS IT???!?!
There has been some lively discussion round these parts and elsewhere
regarding the Jays handling of young Travis Snider. A wide spectrum of
opinions have been expressed. These views generally range from "the kid
should be out there every day" to "the kid has been rushed through the
system for no readily apparent reason."
Okay, I may be the only guy on the surface of the earth who holds the second opinion.
A perfect 5-0 night on the farm featured some great performances by a few usual suspects.

Morrow to be shut down after one more start as
per Cito. 150 is the limit and he is only 6 2/3 innings shy.
And it got uglier as the night went on. Our farm boys committed 9 errors in 3 games (Las Vegas, Lansing, and Auburn) and our bats were quiet as they could be producing only 5 runs in 3 games (GCL Jays, Dunedin and New Hampshire).
Or is it Mc on the way Bc (to Toronto). The league Transactions for 8/29 show Mike McCoy has been recalled to Toronto.
Two affiliates fell short in their playoff chases on Friday. The GCL Jays lost and now need help to make the playoffs on Saturday when they play their final game of the regular season. Lansing lost and dropped their series against playoff rival West Michigan. Lansing are three games out of a playoff spot. Las Vegas and New Hampshire also lost.
Dunedin and Auburn broke out the big bats on their way to wins. Carlos Perez had three hits and three RBI's and Gustavo Pierre had four hits for Auburn. Mike McDade and Ryan Schimpf had four hits each, including a home run, for Dunedin.

The affiliates went 5-3 in a night that featured no fewer than 5 fine pitching performances. A team won a crucial game to charge ahead in the standings, while another suffered a potentially season ending loss.

For
the eighth year in a row, I am once again asking for hardcore baseball
fans to participate in the annual Scouting Report project, in which you
evaluate the fielding characteristics of players on your team. If you
have a few minutes, please drop by and evaluate your team.

The first game I've made it to this year - went with my 11 year old daughter.
This is a review of the non-game aspects. Quick thumbnail: the Dome staff has drastically improved, demand for Yankee tickets is high even when the Jays block off sections, the volume of music is far too high, and they need to create more non-drinking sections and put a strong emphasis on it to parents buying tickets.
The top three affiliates combined for eight hits on a 1-4 night on the farm.
The Jays take their third series of the year from the Yankees

I was in Lansing ten days ago for two games. Here is my scouting report on those games.
