The New Hampshire Fisher Cats take on the Akron RubberDucks in a best-of-five Eastern League final.
The Jays begin their last major road trip of 2018 tonight by visiting
Fenway Park. That's where the Red Sox play, as you certainly know, and the Red Sox are really, really good. And
Fenway is where the Jays have already lost 6 of 7 games in this disappointing
campaign.
With Lansing losing last night there is just one Blue Jay minor league team still in action. Your Fisher Cats take a 2-0 series lead into Trenton tonight for game three. Jordan Romano takes the mound for the Cats.

New Hampshire and Lansing resume their series tonight. Lansing must win to get to a decisive game three, lose and they go home. New Hampshire hope to build a 2-0 lead in a five game series.

The Blue Jays rotation in 2018 has been anchored, for the most part, by three right-handed finesse pitchers. Which explains a lot, as far as I'm concerned. I don't particularly believe in right-handed finesse pitchers. Oh, I believe they exist. I just don't believe you can count on them to be particularly good.
#BlueJays affiliates were 0-for-3 in the win column on Labour Day Monday before Vancouver won its meaningless regular season finale.
Tampa Bay, winner of 7 out of 9 against Toronto this season, make the first of two September visits to the RC.
Its pitcher hitting time, Aaron Sanchez, Marco Estrada and SRF get to wield the lumber.
New Hampshire and Lansing are headed to the playoffs and both won. Vancouver lost and their playoff spot is up for grabs. Dunedin split a doubleheader while Buffalo are not going to the playoffs and seem to be ready for the off-season.
The minor league season is grinding towards the end. The Bluefield Jays finished their regular season on Wednesday, they start their playoff run on Friday. Max Pentecost hit his tenth home run, his teammate Santiago Espinal hit his first, just in time before the season ends. New Hampshire lost despite the power. Buffalo lost. Ryan Noda carried Lansing to a win. Vancouver and Bluefield also won. Vancouver are closing in on a playoff spot. Assuming they make it the Jays would have four teams in the playoffs, New Hampshire, Lansing, Vancouver and Bluefield. Dunedin were rained out.
#BlueJays affiliates won two of five Tuesday. Lansing and Vancouver had the night off.
#BlueJays affilaites won just two of six Monday.
Three games against the Orioles, who allow more runs than any team in the majors. Kendrys Morales needs a home run? These are the guys you want on the schedule.
