The New York Yankees, still evil, still imperial. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Three wins out of four games. Unusually the first star comes from the one loss. Rafael Ohashi dominated through four innings and the bottom fell out once he left the game. There were several other good pitching performances on Sunday. The top hitter was Garrett Spain who had three hits and eight total bases.

It was a tough night on the farm for the affiliates. New Hampshire had the only win and that in a rain shortened game.

It was a good start to the season for the affiliates. New Hampshire were the only losers while Buffalo won two. Several starting pitchers had good nights and seven hitters went deep for the first time, including Orelvis.

Here we go.

No time even for a witty headline...

The Bisons suffered their first loss of 2022 to fall to .500. Meanwhile, Vancouver celebrated the return of baseball at Nat Bailey Stadium.

The defending International League East Division champion Buffalo Bisons opened the 2022 season with a one-run win at home.

So we know the Jays roster now (depending on last second trades of course). Past time for a new general thread and this is as good an excuse for one as any.

That's it! You all have stood the way of my predictions long enough! I'm going to that clown college!

It's almost time for some minor league baseball. This year, because of the lockout, some minor league baseball will start before the major leagues. Buffalo start on Tuesday. The other three teams start on Friday, the same day as the Jays.

Free Joey... Free Joey... Free Joey...

Hey, there's a season! Lets do this again.
