It has been a mixed start to the season on the pitching side. Some pitchers, like Alek Manoah, have pitched well. But overall a lot of the pitchers have been hit around. On Friday, all the affiliates lost and conceded 48 runs over four games. Tampa scored 25 against Dunedin. Things can only get better, right?
Now Dusty Baker is the one who manages this crew
He's older than the game itself, he's seen a thing or two
But that toothpick in his mouth
What the hell is that about?
It makes a fellow proud to be an Astro
Two wins and three losses on the farm on Thursday. There were lot of strikeouts for the starting pitchers but there was also a lack of hitting on some teams. Its early days yet, just three games played.

The Thundering Herd from Buffalo/Trenton were the only winners on the night. New Hampshire's game in Portland was rained out. #WeAreBlueJays
Number two on Baseball America's Top 10 Most Talented Minor League Teams was number one on the scoreboard Tuesday. The affiliates won two and lost two on Opening Night. #WeAreBlueJays
After somewhere around 600 days, minor league baseball is back. All four teams play today. For those of you who haven't been following the minor leagues, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats are the only one of the Jays four teams who will play their home games at their own park.
The major league Jays are using the Dunedin park and intend to use the Buffalo park so both of those teams have been bumped, for now. Vancouver have to play in Oregon because the border is closed, again for now.
I logged on, saw the 254 comments and thought - whoa! New thread required.
Why, it's the first place Atlanta Braves!
First place? They're 12-13. What gives? Three teams tied for first with records below .500?
The Jays minor leaguers were assigned to their teams yesterday with the season starting next week. They will move out to their cities tomorrow. Shi Davidi has the scoop on some assignments.

The tale of the White Sox started out well, but soon went right into the dumpster. Where it stayed for a very long time.
They were champs just two years ago, but it doesn't seem like much of that team is still around.

I've been thinking about who is the face of the Jays now - Vlad or Bo depending on personal preference I figure. But what about over time?
This day might be Shakespeare's birthday (he was christened on the 26th, and it used to be the custom to wait three days just to make sure the infant survived long enough to bother.) It's definitely the day he died, 52 years later.
