The Lansing Lugnut Lumber Company provided the majority of the highlights as the affiliates won two of out six Tuesday night.
The affiliates won three of the four games completed on Monday with one game suspended due to rain.
Extended spring training is finished for 2015 and I have a copy of the final stats. Lets see who and what stands out.
Matt Boyd's first start in AAA went well but Buffalo lost. His replacements in New Hampshire did not pitch well and lost. Dunedin has suddenly found the lumber, they put up seven in the first inning and cruised to the affiliates only win. Lansing lost, as their playoff chase enters its final week.
Your brief minor league update....
Buffalo had the day off.
New Hampshire won 14-1

The affiliates were 3-2. The night featured a Jeff Hoffman start in Dunedin, a near no-hitter (for the ad guys), and J.D. Davis getting awfully close to Ted Williams.

Lansing was the only bright spot on Wednesday. Lansing hammered the first place Quad Cities with twelve hits and twelve runs including home runs from Anthony Alford and Richard Urena. Rowdy Tellez had three RBI. Elsewhere none of the games were close. Fekix Doubront had a rough start while Matt Hague picked up his usual two hits. Dalton Pompey had two hits for New Hampshire. Dunedin got some hits but their pitching was shellacked.

The affiliates picked up two wins in five tries on Tuesday. Two of the losses were the result of a doubleheader sweep. The Lansing Lugnuts had a chance to put up their feet and relax.
A 3-0 Monday night on the farm featured a ton of offence, especially from the man who was selected by the Blue Jays with their first round pick in 2012. It was the kind of performance that will make the Jays brass feel so nice. Meantime, one game was suspended due to fog while New Hampshire had the night off.
Three losses on the farm on Sunday with Dunedin having a day off. Both Buffalo and New Hampshire outhit their opponents and lost. New Hampshire's manager and pitching coach were both ejected for arguing a three run home run that they claimed was foul. Lansing were tied in the ninth but lost by five. Richard Urena drove in three runs.

Matt Boyd almost pitched a complete game shutout, he left in the ninth with a three hitter. New Hampshire won 1-0, a triple from Shane Opitz was the big hit. Daniel Norris pitched in and out of trouble while conceding three runs. Clayton Richard shut down the Bisons. Justin Shafer blew a three run lead and Dunedin lost in the ninth. Shane Dawson had a bad start for Lansing.

In a role reversal of Monday, the affiliates went 1-3 Tuesday with the only win coming in the Dominican Republic. Lansing had nothing to do with this.
The affiliates won three out of four on Monday with all three wins happening in the U.S. New Hampshire had the night off.
In perhaps a foreshadowing of their major league futures, Jeff Hoffman and Alberto Tirado combined on a three hit shutout against the Yankees. Dunedin had 19 hits with lots of hitters having big days. Speaking of big days Ryan McBroom had a five hit day for Lansing but the Lugnuts lost in extra innings. Richard Urena stayed hot with three hits. New Hampshire took advantage of bad play by New Britain to win. Joel Pineiro pitched well. Buffalo were rained out.
