Trades are happening and the game thread is filling up so lets do a deadline day thread.

It's an AL East opponent. Gulp.

Buffalo put up another eleven runs to keep their win streak going. A lot of hitters there must be hoping for a trade, or are playing for 2024. It seems unlikely that Nathan Lukes, Spencer Horwitz, Ernie Clement or Davis Schneider will get a call up or if they do, a decent amount of at-bats. Buffalo were the only winners.

As mentioned in the comments, Buffalo are down to four starters with the opt-out of Casey Lawrence. It could be five if Mitch White clears waivers, but we have to assume one day a week is a bullpen day. New Hampshire just lost two starters leaving them down to two starters. Luis Quinones has recently moved back to be a starter so that makes three. If Ricky Tiedemann returns that would be four. Alejandro Melean could make it five. Vancouver have five starters. Kevin Miranda or Michael Dominguez could get a promotion to NH to fill out the starters with a starter from Dunedin moving up to fill the gap. Dunedin can add starters from the 2023 draft pool.

Buffalo racked up 14 runs in another win. They are leading the division in the second half and have the top offense in the division over the same period. Vancouver had an easy win. Dunedin won both ends of a doubleheader. Ricky Tiedemann and Brandon Barriera were the starting pitchers but they scored ten runs in the first inning between both games. That is a winning combination. New Hampshire were rained out.

Davis Schneider reached base five times as Buffalo won by ten runs. New Hampshire had a six run lead but lost by five. Vancouver lost by one while Dunedin were rained out.

Well, they say this place is evil
That ain't why I stay
'Cause I found something

Phil Clarke hit two home runs to help New Hampshire win. Vancouver had six extra base hits in their win. Buffalo and Dunedin lost.

Buffalo, Vancouver, Dunedin and Dominican Summer League Blue Jays lifted the affiliates to a 5-1 record on Tuesday.

Buffalo trailed with two outs in the ninth inning before Davis Schneider tied the game with his 19th home run. Tanner Morris then won it in the tenth. New Hampshire were no hit. Vancouver had 12 hits but that wasn't enough for a win. Dunedin also lost.

Spencer Horwitz could be in line for player of the week. He picked up four hits on Saturday but it wasn't enough as the bullpen blew the lead in the ninth. New Hampshire came out on the other end of that by scoring four in the ninth to take the win. Vancouver scored four runs in the first inning and that was enough for their win. Dunedin won a 1-0 contest.

Hyun Jin Ryu pitched on rehab with Buffalo and pitched well. Buffalo, and Ryu, got the win. New Hampshire played into the ninth before the rains came. The game will be finished on Saturday. Vancouver won a bullpen game. Brandon Barriera was excellent for Dunedin but the Jays lost. Ricky Tiedemann pitched in the FSL. Enmanuel Bonilla had a big game in the DSL.

Spencer Horwitz hits for average and gets on base but the power has been in short supply. On Thursday he went deep twice, but Buffalo coughed up the lead twice and lost. No such worries in New Hampshire where Sem Robberse was excellent. And the hitters were pretty good too. Similarly for Vancouver where Devereaux Harrison was back in top form. Dunedin also had good pitching and they made it three wins.
