I'm so proud. I remembered that the place where the Cleveland Baseball Team plays its home games is currently called Progressive Field. Didn't even have to look it up (except afterwards, to be sure I had it right. Oh well.)
So, now that Manoah is off to the races it got me thinking of kids called up who made a strong first impression here.
Nate Pearson struggled again for Buffalo who lost both ends of a doubleheader. New Hampshire had a wild game one of their doubleheader, which they won, but lost game two. LJ Talley had four RBI in game one while Troy Miller pitched well in his AA debut in game two. Luis Quinones made his 2021 debut and pitched well for Vancouver. The C's won in a walk-off. Dunedin were again beaten up by Tampa's bats.
Dunedin split a doubleheader and Vancouver lost their second straight. Buffalo's game in Moosic, Pennsylvania was suspended and New Hampshire's game in Somerset was rained out.
The Blue Jays affiliates lost three of four Tuesday night. #WeAreBlueJays
Still imperial, still evil. Yeah, plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
The Blue Jays are suffering bullpen woes at the moment, and so are the affiliates. New Hampshire led 2-1 after seven and lost 7-2. Vancouver took a 5-1 lead to the ninth but three walks, a hit batter, a wild pitch and a single brought the game to 5-4 with two runners on. But unlike the Jays, the C's got that final out. Dunedin led 5-1 in the fourth but Clearwater tied it in the eighth and won it in the tenth. Buffalo lost early. After a whitewash yesterday the C's were the only winners on the day.
The Jays sent several of their pitching prospects to the mound yesterday. Things didn't work out as expected and all the affiliates lost. Nick Allgeyer, Adam Kloffenstein and Sem Robberse were hit around while Simeon Woods Richardson did a little better.
Here is your abbreviated long weekend update.

Here is your abbreviated Victoria Day weekend minor league update. New Hampshire bats were hot but Zach Logue didn't need much hotness. Buffalo rallied in the ninth for the win. Three Dunedin pitchers combined on a two hit shutout. Vancouver lost.
We're almost done with Dunedin.
LJ Talley has just been in New Hampshire for a few days but he hit two home runs on Thursday, driving in six runs. Samad Taylor had four hits. Thomas Hatch made a rehab assignment start, Nick Frasso, last years fourth round pick, made his first pro start. CJ Can Eyk, last years second round pick, has his best pro start.
