Samad Taylor took over the Buffalo game in the tenth inning and generated a win with his bat and his legs. Hits were scarce in the lower levels and to make it worse Vancouver and Dunedin made errors that contributed to their losses. Across five games the affiliates had 26 hits or an average just over five per game. Only two hitters in the system had a multi hit game. Buffalo were the only winners.
Get ready Vancouver bauxites, Ricky Tiedemann has shown he should be there. He threw five perfect innings today with nine K's. In twenty innings this season has conceded five hits with 33 K's. His lone blemish is the ten walks but he didn't walk anyone on Friday. Dunedin shutout Bradenton. Maximo Castillo pitched well for New Hampshire and two solo home runs were enough offense. Buffalo lost but Jordan Groshans did well on his AAA debut. Vancouver were rained out.

There has been a lot of ink written about Vosver Zulueta and there is a lot of anticipation around his arrival. That's a lot for a pitcher who had thrown three pitches in his pro career before Thursday. In case you forgot, Zulueta is Cuban, signed with the Jays in 2019 but then needed TJ surgery. Upon his return he tore his ACL after the aforementioned three pitches and missed the rest of 2021. He returned to live action yesterday and struck out seven in four innings. Another debutant was Dexter Fowler who had three hits for Buffalo.
Buffalo were the only winners on Thursday. Vancouver and Dunedin both lost in extra innings.
Buffalo and New Hampshire split their doubleheaders. Vancouver and Dunedin lost.
Vancouver won and Dunedin lost Tuesday. Buffalo's game in Worcester and New Hampshire's game against Reading were both postponed. They will play two today.
Hits were hard to come by on Sunday. The four affiliates recorded four, four, six and five hits. That's just 19 hits combined over four teams. Despite the low number of hits Buffalo and Dunedin won. Thomas Hatch was the star for Buffalo while Dunedin had a walk off.

The starting pitching wasn't good on Saturday. Nick Allgeyer, Maximo Castillo and Adam Kloffenstein were all hit around. New Hampshire were the only team to win thanks to five hitters going deep.

There were a couple of exciting finishes on Friday. Gabriel Martinez walked it off for Dunedin. New Hampshire came into the ninth down by five. They scored three without a hit, then got a hit which both made it a one run game and ended the game...ouch! Buffalo won while Vancouver won two.
Two wins and two loses on Thursday. New Hampshire had both losses while Buffalo and Dunedin won. Vancouver were rained out. Bowden Francis shut down Scranton for 6.2 innings before running into a bit of trouble. Gabriel Martinez hit his first home run for Dunedin.

Buffalo swept a doubleheader while New Hampshire pulled out an extra-inning win. Dunedin took the only loss Wednesday. Vancouver's game against Eugene was rained out. They will play two at Nat Bailey Stadium Friday afternoon.
An 0-2 night for the affiliates Tuesday. Buffalo's game against Scranton-Wilkes/Barre and New Hampshire's game in Altoona were postponed. Buffalo will play two on Wednesday and New Hampshire will do likewise on Thursday.
Two wins and three losses on Sunday. Maximo Castillo was outstanding in his start. We have to ask if we are seeing a different Maximo? Zac Cook helped Maximo get the win. Riley Tirotta and Addison Barger powered Vancouver to their win. Rainer Nunez went deep twice in a losing cause.
Yesterday the affiliates won six games, today none. Yesterday there were seven games, today just two with two games rained out. Yesterday the pitchers were outstanding, today not so much. Both loses today came via the walk-off. Old friend Josh Palacios came back to extract revenge on the org that lost him on waivers.

There were seven games on Good Friday, the affiliates won six of them. There was a strong roster of starters who pitched well, Joey Murray, Nick Fraze, Hayden Juenger, and Ricky Tiedemann. Orelvis Martinez and Zak Cook homered in each end of the doubleheader but another Fisher Cat hitter pipped them for the third star. Tanner Morris homered and went 4-5 with two walks over both ends of the doubleheader. Meanwhile PK Morris hit a grand slam in extra innings to help Vancouver sweep their doubleheader.
