At last, an opponent who's below .500.

Comebacks galore as a few clubs must have been watching Independence Day today before playing on Independence Day. Bluefield came from behind, Dunedin walked off, and New Hampshire would have too if it weren’t Kevin Ahrens. The affiliates were 4-4 on the day.

You got a reaction. You got a reaction, didn't you?

Roberto Osuna had his worst career outing, could another visit to the doctor be coming soon?  Sean Nolin had another fantastic start for New Hampshire, with offensive help from Ryan Schimpf.  Dunedin lost in extra innings, despite a strong outing from Aaron Sanchez. 

When you believe in things that you don't understand, then you suffer.

The affiliates finished with three wins in five tries Tuesday night with all starting pitching performances rating from awesome to half-decent. The GCL Blue Jays had a doubleheader rained out while Dunedin and Bluefield had the day off.

Whistling tunes, we're kissing baboons in the jungle — it's a knockout.

In other words, not as much detail in this one. The affiliates lost four of five, including a shutout and an extra-innings loss.

He was back and forth so many times to see that gal, the path he wore became the Rideau Canal.

This afternoon the farm was 3-2, with Dunedin's game versus Tampa suspended in the second inning.  DJ Davis and Mitch Nay continued to hit well early into the season for Bluefield.  Kevin Pillar had another monster game Buffalo this afternoon again.

In my head, I keep a picture of a pretty little miss, someday Mister, I'm gonna lead a better life than this.

There were four close games at the top of the system last night. Ricky Romero had the Bisons in the lead but he let it slip away. Kevin Pillar got the lead back with his first AAA home run but the bullpen gave up the lead and lost it. Similarly in New Hampshire a lead in the seventh turned into a two run loss courtesy of the bullpen. Dunedin had a four run lead until an error made it a one run lead but they held on for the win. Lansing out hit Great Lakes 11-4 but again the bullpen let four runs score without a hit and the Lugnuts lost by a run.

Vancouver took an early lead and won. Bluefield had their hitting shoes on and had such a big lead that the bullpen didn't blow it. The GCL Jays were the opposite down early and by a lot.

I'm waiting in line, would you say if I was wasting my time?

There were a couple of wild wins on the farm Friday. Bluefield led 9-1 after two innings but the lead disappeared by the middle of the eighth. The Jays were able to push across a run in the bottom of the eighth to win. The GCL Jays trailed 3-0 but came back to lead 5-4 in the ninth. The save was duly blown but the Jays rallied to win in the tenth. Buffalo scored five runs in the ninth to make a one run lead a six run win. Dunedin won a close game, New Hampshire and Vancouver were well beaten and Lansing were all wet.

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down, kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around
