Dunedin prevented a total disaster on an otherwise disappointing Tuesday. At least the Leafs won.

The second road trip of the season (4-5 on the first one) sees the Blue Jays visit two of 2024's division champs.

Nobody said it was supposed to be easy.

None of the affiliates were able to rise from the dead on Sunday. None of them had a lead in their games and they combined for 20 hits over four games. There was little to get excited about.

Three wins on Saturday with lots of excellent performances. Yohendrick Pinango led the way with four hits. Bryce Arnold and Ali Sanchez homered twice.

Eight home runs in the minor league today. Jace Bohrofen hit two, Yeuni Munoz hit one for his third day in a row. Several players got their first home run of the season. All those home runs just earned two wins for the affiliates.

Here is a summary of the prospect lists from an assortment of sites. I like to do this each year to get an overall view on the Jays top prospects.

The Mariners come to town, on Apple TV. I forgot to cancel, so I guess I can watch.

Pitching has been prominent over the first few weeks of the season. But not so on Thursday. Jackson Wentworth was the only starting pitcher who completed four innings. The three teams who did not get four innings from their starter lost. Vancouver, behind Wentworth, won by scoring 13 runs.

Dunedin 18 Lakeland 2

New Hampshire 10 Harrisburg 9

Vancouver 5 Eugene 2

Buffalo Syracuse PPD

3. Peyton Williams, HR, RBI, R

2. The Dunedin Blue Jays

1. The Dunedin Blue Jays

Buffalo was bombed, New Hampshire and Vancouver let one get away in the later innings and Dunedin also finished second on the scoreboard.

Could the Braves actually be... bad?

I believe its the first time this year that we have 100% wins, even if its just three games. New Hampshire were rained out.

In a season where runs are in short supply for the affiliates, Vancouver scored nine on Saturday. They had the only win. Buffalo lost two, Dunedin one while New Hampshire were snowed out. A couple of players are pushing for a promotion.

After pitching was the story of the first part of the season, that all stopped on Friday. Only one starter went five innings as it was tough for starters out there. The top two teams won, the lower two lost.

The road trip concludes at Camden Yards. I expect the Jays will be happy to take two of the three games. This would salvage a split on the road trip, and let everybody come home in a Good Mood.
