Wednesday was a huge night on the farm, with all affiliates in action and New Hampshire in action twice. Vegas and Dunedin won by huge margins, the GCL Jays won in 14 innings, and the farm as a whole went 6-3.
The long ball help Dunedin picked up the only win for the Jays affiliates, who went 1-5 Tuesday night. Other highlights included an awesome relief effort from an unexpected source, a good night at the plate for a recent call-up at Triple-A and an encouraging rehab outing at Double-A.
A quiet night on the farm with some late inning dramatics from out west, but for the good this (damn Mariners.)
The affiliates had a solid performance on Sunday with four wins in six tries. Former first rounder Kevin Ahrens had a big day, including a three-run homer. Today is Draft Deadline Day. By the end of today, the organization (hopefully) will have an influx of new, high-ceiling talent to help out an already-impressive system.
New Hampshire won last night in the only victory for the affiliates on the night. Drew Hutchison had a relatively poor start – for him – and still impressed. Noah Syndergaard and Griffin Murphy were also in action, while Adeiny Hechavarria continued to adjust to Triple-A.
In his first AB for Las Vegas, A-Hech doubles
and adds a single later to go 2 for 4.
He had a throwing miscue as well for his first error in AAA. A-Rod makes rehab appearance at Dunedin and goes
long on a solo blast in the first inning.
Six wins in nine tries for the affiliates including four performances by top pitching draftees.
Dustin McGowan pitched well in AA and Henderson Alvarez seemed pretty good in the ole MLB, but that doesn't count for these purposes anymore. Elsewhere, some hitting, some pitching, some wins, some losses.
The affiliates were 3-4 on the night with one rainout and another game called early. The highlights were Bluefield's pitching and Las Vegas' bats.
The farm featured some great pitching performances from top prospects, but the best performance (possibly of the entire year) came from an unheralded DSL pitcher.
It was an ugly day on the farm with just one win.
We got your losses. Everywhere except Vancouver and the Gulf Coast League.
Hitters to the left, Hitters to the Right – That Makes for a
Great Firday Night.
Seven games, six wins and a whole whack of dominant pitching.
There were 3 great pitching performances on the farm, plus plenty of late inning fireworks.
