New Hampshire trailed 8-1 but came back to win 11-8 in a rain shortened game. Vancouver only trailed by one in the eighth but they too rallied to win as did the FCL Jays. Dunedin won and found a way to drive in runners in scoring position without hits. Maybe the big club could learn from them.

Canadian’s win 2nd straight at home against Tri-City! Vancouver’s Dasan Brown gets the club’s first inside-the-park home run of the year.

Vancouver had the only win on Tuesday night. New Hampshire's game versus Reading was rained out and will play two in Manchester on Wednesday.

Lots of talk about the Jays development system and drafting under Atkins. How has it been? Lets see.

The road trip continues, as the Jays meet Cleveland for the first time this season.

New Hampshire scored in the eighth and ninth innings to turn a tie into a win. Dunedin gave up a six run lead but scored two in the eighth and won. Buffalo and Vancouver lost close games.

The top of the system lost, Buffalo and Vancouver once, New Hampshire twice. The Jays affiliate had six hits in each of those four games. Dunedin and the FCL Jays won, the Florida teams. It was a quiet long weekend day on the farm with few standout performances.

The biggest offensive output in the minors on Friday was in the DSL. they scored 18 runs. Several of the Jays top signings down there had big games including top signing Enmanuel Bonilla who hit a grand slam. Buffalo also broke out the bats and had a narrow win. Vancouver and Dunedin lost while New Hampshire's game was suspended.

In other news Connor Cooke was promoted from AA to AAA. Brandon Barriera has gone on the IL again.

I'm back!

Turconi hits for the cycle, overshadowing the Vancouver Canadian’s victory in Hillsboro!

On a day where travel hindered my ability to post this one on time, Vancouver, Buffalo, and New Hampshire all win on Wednesday with Dunedin as the team on the outside looking in.

Just like the big club, hits were in short supply in the minors. The only hitting team was Vancouver who won in ten innings. Buffalo had six hits, New Hampshire four and Dunedin five. All lost.

Vancouver and Dunedin were the only teams that were triumphant on Tuesday.

Trades are happening and the game thread is filling up so lets do a deadline day thread.

It's an AL East opponent. Gulp.

Buffalo put up another eleven runs to keep their win streak going. A lot of hitters there must be hoping for a trade, or are playing for 2024. It seems unlikely that Nathan Lukes, Spencer Horwitz, Ernie Clement or Davis Schneider will get a call up or if they do, a decent amount of at-bats. Buffalo were the only winners.

As mentioned in the comments, Buffalo are down to four starters with the opt-out of Casey Lawrence. It could be five if Mitch White clears waivers, but we have to assume one day a week is a bullpen day. New Hampshire just lost two starters leaving them down to two starters. Luis Quinones has recently moved back to be a starter so that makes three. If Ricky Tiedemann returns that would be four. Alejandro Melean could make it five. Vancouver have five starters. Kevin Miranda or Michael Dominguez could get a promotion to NH to fill out the starters with a starter from Dunedin moving up to fill the gap. Dunedin can add starters from the 2023 draft pool.
