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.

Buffalo 10 Rochester 11 - 10 innings

Hartford at New Hampshire - postponed

Vancouver at Tri-City - postponed

Dunedin 7 Tampa 8


This is what I noted from yesterday's games.


Logan Warmoth hit a grand slam in the top of the first to give the Bisons a 4-0 lead. By the end of the fourth the Bisons were down 10-4. They came back to tie the game and send it to extra innings but they lost. They lost on an RBI single from Josh Palacios. Palacios also hit a three run home run earlier in the game.


Nick Allgeyer had a rough game after two good starts. He allowed nine runs in three innings on twelve hits.


Nathan Lukes had three hits. Warmoth, Samad Taylor, Cullen Large and Mallex Smith had two hits each.


Dunedin were down 3-0 after two innings. Michael Dominguez was a little rough early, five hits and a walk over those first two innings. He settled down to go five innings with his last three innings being very good.


Tampa outhit Dunedin 14-5 but needed a walk off in the bottom of the ninth to win. In part the game was close because Tampa made seven errors leading to six unearned runs.


Damiano Palmegiani had the only Dunedin extra base hit, a double, in three at-bats. He also walked twice. Hitting .379 he is Dunedin's leading hitter.




Three Stars

Third Star - Samad Taylor

Second Star - Nathan Lukes

First Star - Logan Warmoth

Wishing Josh Palacios the best, but the fact no team would trade for him doesn't bode well. Pitcher waiver claims sometimes work out, but successful position player waiver claims I think are rare.

The best for the Jays I remember was Smoakie, who had 2 not good seasons when the Jays were good and 2 good seasons when the Jays were bad.

I just checked Logan Warmoth's minor league career to date. Being the #1 Jays pick in 2017 set him up for expectations that he did not meet. He has progressed up the minors with just ok hitting (being generous) but he has good speed with decent SBs. Drafted as a SS I assume he can play good enough D at SS/2B and now is playing some LF. His versatility just may get him to the Majors on someone's bench.

For me Buffalo needs to win to keep the fans and organization happy to be the AAA team of the Jays. Very convenient.

Some stars in Buffalo will also provide excitement. So far Vlad, Bo, Biggio and Manoah (only 3 games but dominant).

Taylor with two more hits today in Buffalo and no k’s. It’s early but he’s had a very encouraging start to the year.
