Dunedin's Double Dingers

Two Dunedin catchers each hit two home runs on Wednesday. The Italian duo, Owen Carapelotti and Giaconino Lasaracina, each hit two home runs in one of Dunedin's two games. (note: neither player was born in Italy). That was the highlight of the night as Buffalo, New Hampshire and Vancouver all lost. Dunedin split a doubleheader. Vancouver's Austin Smith also had a double dinger while Jojo Parker…

Jays at Rays: August 18-20: Trop Troubles?

The Blue Jays head into Tampa 15 games behind the division leaders but with some optimism about the wild card race. Tampa has historically been a bad place to go for the Jays but this time its different, right? Tampa had some struggles over the weekend with the Orioles but rebounded yesterday to pick up one win in the series. SCHEDULE Tuesday: Soriano vs Martinez Wednesday: Scherzer vs Rasmussen…

Yankees at Blue Jays, Aug 14 - 16; Getting Close

The big bad Yankees roll into town for three games. The Jays meet the Yankees in the middle of their tough stretch of games. There are nine games left in this stretch, these three and then three on the road in both Tampa and New York next week. The Yankees are cruising along in the wild card spot but not gaining on Tampa. They are 6.5 games back and look destined for a wild card spot. Aaron Judge…

The Other Bennett Hitter

In the 2026 draft the Jays spent most of their cash on Cole Carlon and Will Brick. That necessitated them taking a number of senior players in the middle rounds who would sign for verry little. One of them was Jake Bennett, a senior who signed for $1,000. Bennett's scouting report said he was a big guy who had big power but was essentially a DH. Well Bennett did DH for Dunedin on Thursday and he…

Guthrie and Barriera Keys to Victories

New Hampshire was hammered and the Dominican Summer League Blue squad let one get away late, but Buffalo, Vancouver and Dunedin all won. The DSL Red squad's game was rained out. You know what that means? Are you sitting down? It was a winning Tuesday on the farm! JoJo Parker stands at second after stealing his first base with the Vancouver Canadians on Tuesday.
