Tercet has had to go on the DL so here is your abbreviated minor league update. Buffalo were rained out mid-way, and Lansing are on their all-star break so there were three teams in action. Vancouver and Dunedin lost easily so New Hampshire drew all the attention. Daniel Norris made his first AA start and mostly it was good. He did start a beanball war that led to a multitude of ejections. The Bluefield Blue Jays start play tonight.

The affiliates had another disappointing day, winning just one of five games - none of them south of the border. Lansing - save for four Lugnuts - had the night off because of the Midwest League All-Star Game.
A 1-3 Monday for the affiliates was marred by an epic bullpen collapse in which a seven-run lead was blown. Still, there were some nice efforts turned in with the bats, including one by a top five prospect. New Hampshire and Lansing did not partake in any rawhide activities.
The affiliates were 1-3 on Sunday, despite strong pitching across the board. Liam Hendriks, Scott Copeland, Jeremy Gabryszwski, and Miguel Castro started for the affiliates and were all brilliant.
Aaron Sanchez made his highly anticipated AAA debut on Saturday. On paper it was not a good start, he gave up five runs in four plus innings. But there were some mitigating factors that made his start not as bad as it seems from the stat line. New Hampshire were shutout and lost 1-0. Lansing and Vancouver won. Several Dunedin players did well at the FSL all-start game.

Franklin Barreto had four hits leading Vancouver to a win in their first game. Buffalo and New Hampshire each rode a couple of home runs to wins. Lansing had more errors than hits and that means a loss. Dunedin had the day off.
New Hampshire, and Lansing each won by a run. Dunedin's game was rained out, and Buffalo had an off day. Also the Jays made a couple interesting milb roster moves over the last 24 hours.
Yesterday we looked at the hitters stats from extended, today it is the pitchers turn. There were 47 pitchers listed on the stats sheet but 11 of those were on rehab or were later promoted to a full season team. That leaves 36 pitchers. Of that 36, 27 threw 20 inninings or more. The most innings thrown by a pitcher was 43 by Jesus Tinoco.
