That was better. The Jays got a terrible start from the 35 year old veteran who'll be a free agent in a few weeks (some pretty iffy defense didn't help, at a time when dear old Marco needs every bit of help he can get.) But they got a couple of strong starts from two of the youngsters who may indeed be part of the 2019 rotation. And messing with the Yankees... well, it just makes life worth living.
Well, you'd have to say the first part of this long road trip turned out roughly as expected.
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats take on the Akron RubberDucks in a best-of-five Eastern League final.
The Jays begin their last major road trip of 2018 tonight by visiting
Fenway Park. That's where the Red Sox play, as you certainly know, and the Red Sox are really, really good. And
Fenway is where the Jays have already lost 6 of 7 games in this disappointing
campaign.
With Lansing losing last night there is just one Blue Jay minor league team still in action. Your Fisher Cats take a 2-0 series lead into Trenton tonight for game three. Jordan Romano takes the mound for the Cats.

New Hampshire and Lansing resume their series tonight. Lansing must win to get to a decisive game three, lose and they go home. New Hampshire hope to build a 2-0 lead in a five game series.

The #BlueJays take on Josh Donaldson's new employer for four games at the Dome.
The two remaining Blue Jay farm teams begin their playoff push tonight. The New Hampshire Fisher Cats and the Lansing Lugnuts both start at home in their series.

The Blue Jays rotation in 2018 has been anchored, for the most part, by three right-handed finesse pitchers. Which explains a lot, as far as I'm concerned. I don't particularly believe in right-handed finesse pitchers. Oh, I believe they exist. I just don't believe you can count on them to be particularly good.
#BlueJays affiliates were 0-for-3 in the win column on Labour Day Monday before Vancouver won its meaningless regular season finale.
Tampa Bay, winner of 7 out of 9 against Toronto this season, make the first of two September visits to the RC.
Its pitcher hitting time, Aaron Sanchez, Marco Estrada and SRF get to wield the lumber.
New Hampshire and Lansing are headed to the playoffs and both won. Vancouver lost and their playoff spot is up for grabs. Dunedin split a doubleheader while Buffalo are not going to the playoffs and seem to be ready for the off-season.
