AAA International League: Buffalo 1/6/2, Syracuse 9/6/0 Bobby Livingston no es bueno, he gave up 8 runs (3 earned) on 5 hits and 4 walks in 4.1 innings to take his first loss of the season.

Read MoreNo, it’s not the trading deadline, although at times I wish it were. I have already gone on record as an advocate for optimism when it comes to our orange and blue clad warriors. Reason being, it was near impossible to judge what we had while just watching games that don’t count as well as not knowing who would actually make the team. I try in every area of my life to be honest and...
Read MoreAAA International League: Buffalo 4/6/1, Scranton 1/6/0 Dillon Gee returned to action today and it was like he never left, he fired 6 innings of 2 hit shutout ball with 4 strikeouts for his first win of the season.
