Then, Athletics TV play-by-play voice Jenny Cavnar (31:51) stops by to discuss how the team has adjusted to playing in a smaller ballpark in Sacramento, how players like Luis Severino will compare results on the mound from a big league ballpark vs. where they play, why Jacob Wilson is the most interesting player in the league, and Lawrence Butler's confidence in his at-bats.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The broadcasters from the Buffalo Bisons, New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and Vancouver Canadians look back at the 2024 season in the Blue Jays minor league system. Pat Malacaro (triple-A Buffalo) leads off with host Tyler Zickel (high-A Vancouver) to talk about a Bisons season that did not turn out as expected, with the likes of Leo Jimenez and Addison Barger spending a lot of time in Toronto with the big league team, Orelvis Martinez serving a big part of the season on suspension, and pitchers Ricky Tiedemann and Chad Dallas finding themselves on the injured list. This forced the Bisons to adopt the "next-man-up mentality", exemplified by Alan Roden who struggled after being promoted from double-A before finishing very strong. Andrew Bash and Paxton Schultz solidified the Bisons' pitching, Will Robertson had a strong finish to a good bounceback year, and Payton Henry became a hero coming back from a horrific head injury, hearing loss, and the death of his brother. The 20th season of Fisher Cats baseball did not turn out the way the team wanted; however, Chris Jared and Bob Lipman (double-A New Hampshire) are excited about the return of some of the team and players coming up from Vancouver in 2025. Alan Roden and Josh Kasevich were noted as having made a huge impact at the level before their promotions to Buffalo, RJ Schreck, Charles McAdoo, and Yohendrick Pinango were fun to watch after their acquisitions at the trade deadline, former water polo player Johnathan Lavallee just shoved for the team down the stretch, and Eric Pardinho, who has lost the top-prospect shine, was a dominant reliever at double-A. Tyler and broadcasting partner Chris Georges (high-A Vancouver) were sad to see the Canadians' season ending with a walkoff hit-by-pitch in the Northwest League Championship, but they were proud to see the team keeping the series with the Spokane Indians relatively close given that Vancouver was 8-20 against that team during the regular season. Jace Bohrofen took a couple of months to adjust to professional baseball, but then blew up in the second half, including August in which he OPSed 1.055. After being signed out of independent baseball, Je'Von Ward made a big impact both at the plate and in the outfield for the C's, Jackson Hornung continued to hit all year despite his transition from catcher to first base to outfield, and Peyton Williams may have been too good for high-A. On the mound, Kendry Rojas and Lazaro Estrada were spicy punches, and Ryan Jennings' stuff and dumpster were things to behold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The second half of the Minor League Baseball season seemed to have just started and teams are getting ready to put their feet up for a breather as they enter All-Star Game weekend. With the trade deadline coming soon after, the Blue Jays' minor league broadcasters are gearing up for various roster machinations that could affect their teams. The episode starts with the Voice of the Buffalo Bisons Pat Malacaro inviting long-time New Hampshire Fisher Cats broadcaster Bob Lipman to join him to call some triple-A games in Worcester. Then, Pat reports on his team, who have been in a funk. However, things are looking up as Riley Tirotta continues to be consistent at the plate, newcomer Gabriel Cancel has had a white-hot start, and Chad Dallas has returned to good health. Diving into Aaron Sanchez's return, Pat tells us that he is going through the process of learning how to become a new kind of pitcher now that he's not throwing as hard. From Manchester, Bob is joined by Chris Jared who showed off the Fisher Cats' 2011 Eastern League Trophy replica giveaway (Saturday, July 13). Nominative determinism (and the Cavan Biggio trade) have brought reliever Braydon Fisher to the 2024 Cats team where he has been showing off a curveball that could be better than Adam Macko's. Chris also tells us about Ryan McCarty on and off the field and Deveraux Harrison's success in their rotation, while Bob reassures us that Cade Doughty just needs some more time to settle into double-A life. With our host Tyler Zickel in Portland, Chris Georges has been handling the mic for the Vancouver Canadians this week. Since the second half, the C's have been red-hot with a 14-4 record to lead the second half standings. Chris and Tyler took this opportunity to heap praise on catchers Jackson Hornung and Robert Brooks. They are also looking at the success Payton Williams and Dasan Brown have been having and are thinking that they may be on their way to New Hampshire sooner rather than later. They also gawked at Grayson Thurman's splitter, which his teammates have rated as 80-grade. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Around The Nest is the Blue Jays' minor league podcast where the broadcasters from single-A all the way up to triple-A get together to talk about the performances of Blue Jays minor leaguers in the past two weeks. Pat Malacaro (AAA Buffalo Bisons) reported on his team's tough run of injuries, Nathan Lukes is doing everything well, Riley Tirotta's parents' special souvenir, and Yariel Rodríguez's rehab stint so far. Pat also provides an important update on Payton Henry's recovery: after being struck in the head by a backswing a week ago, he was able to see his teammates in the clubhouse on Thursday. Chris Jared (AA New Hampshire Fisher Cats) sees a starting rotation that's coming into its own, with Adam Macko leading with Michael Dominguez and Devereaux Harrison following closely behind. Eric Pardinho, who has had ups-and-downs on prospect status, is certainly on an upswing having not given up an earned run since late April. On the hitting side, Garret Spain has been slugging homers, Devonte Brown has been very even keeled, and Josh Kasevich's quick adaptability going up to double-A has surprised the Blue Jays organization. Chris Georges and host Tyler Zickel (high-A Vancouver Canadians) spoke about the C's impressive starting pitching the last couple of weeks, highlighting Chris McElvain's solid performance of late. They think Dasan Brown is close to a callup to New Hampshire, having found a grove and starting to take a lot of walks. They also shine a spotlight in leverage relievers Josh Mollerus and Anders Tolhurst. The Dunedin Blue Jays lead single-A teams with 40 team homers, Larry Larson (low-A Dunedin) tells us, led by Cristian Feliz, a three true outcomes first baseman who also happens to be a very friendly dude. Juaron “Whiffs” Watts-Brown has been very comfortable at this level; he had issues getting deep into games earlier this season due to walks, but has those in control and is now just striking out batters. Manuel Beltre's bat looks to be turning the corner and JJ Sanchez has been very effective for Dunedin as a hard-throwing lefty closer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It was an exciting end to a great series and a fantastic season. The Canucks lost 3-2 to the Oilers, after outperforming expectations all season long and bringing playoff hockey back to Vancouver. Although, they managed to hold Connor McDavid in check for the most part, the injuries were ultimately too much to overcome. We'd like to thank the Canucks for an amazing season...and also thank you, the faithful listeners of Rink Wide Vancouver. Stay tuned for some special episodes over the remainder of the playoffs and off season.Jeff Paterson and Irfaan Gaffar are here to break it all down for you on Rink Wide Vancouver.Presented by Applewood Auto Group, Vancouver Canadians, Four Winds Brewing, Greta and Great Clips.

Around The Nest is the Blue Jays' minor league podcast where the broadcasters from up and down the farm system get together to talk about the performances of Blue Jays prospects in the past two weeks. This week, we welcome Chris Georges, the Vancouver Canadians' broadcast assistant, to the Nest. Chris G. is joined by Chris Jared of the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Larry Larson of the Dunedin Blue Jays, and of course podcast host and the Voice of the Canadians, Tyler Zickel. The Fisher Cats have had solid pitching performances—like Adam Macko striking out nine Yard Goats—but have had weak run support (sound familiar). Overall, the team is still loose, believing that they are better than their 15-21 win-loss record. Before a rough start Friday evening, Trenton Wallace had been solid for New Hampshire, sporting a funky delivery. Alan Roden has struggled at the plate but has been working hard, one-on-one with manager Cesar Martin. The D-Jays batters had been taking a lot of walks earlier in the season, but had seemed to be little overeager lately. On the positive side, Christian Feliz and Yhoangel Aponte have been taking patient, encouraging at bats and lately, Manuel Beltre seems to have turned a corner, taking better at bats and getting a walkoff hit. On the negative side, Arjun Nimmala had been placed on the development list strikeouts have been piling up now that he's seeing more breaking balls. On the mound side, Juaron Watts-Brown has been displaying a nasty slider and an underrated change-up and Connor O'Halloran has demonstrated that he can grind through games in which he just didn't have his best stuff. Vancouver's Jace Bohrofen had been getting walks and making good contact but had not displayed home run power until this week when he hit two. Ryan McCarty has been delivering clutch hits for the Canadians and is seen as a guy with a big heart who is easy to root for. Japanese-Brazilian Raphael Ohashi has almost been perfect out of the bullpen, starting the season with 15 consecutive scoreless innings against five different Northwest League teams. Ohashi will be given a start in game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Vancouver Canucks move one game closer to a Western Conference final appearance and take a 3-2 lead over the Edmonton Oilers. A new-look throughout the bottom 9 forwards showed a lot more jump than last game and Arturs Silovs was solid in net again, holding the Oilers to just 2 goals, thanks in large part to J.T. Miller holding Connor McDavid to just 2 shots and the PK going an incredible 5 for 5. The Canucks need to win one of their next 2 to move on.Jeff Paterson and Irfaan Gaffar are here to break it all down for you on Rink Wide Vancouver.Presented by Applewood Auto Group, Vancouver Canadians, Four Winds Brewing, Greta and Great Clips.

The Canucks looked to put a strangle hold on the series in game 4 and managed to hold Connor McDavid to a single point, but the Oilers were desperate and carried a lead through most of the game.

One month into the 2024 minor league season we get our first reports on the performance of Blue Jays prospects from low-A to triple-A from the Around The Nest crew. Host Tyler Zickel, the Voice of the Vancouver Canadians, is joined by long-time Nester Pat Malacaro (Buffalo Bisons) and newcomers Chris Jared (New Hampshire Fisher Cats) and Larry Larson (Dunedin Blue Jays). Leading off, Pat talks about the hot-hitting Bisons like Spencer "More Hits" Horwitz and Orelvis Martinez. The 2024 Bisons are arguably the most prospect-laden team since the Blue Jays affiliation. Chris actually makes his return from the podcast after his first debut in April 2017 talking about Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in Lansing. This time, he's talking about Josh Kasevich who has been making good contact, Alan Roden who has been getting on base, and Miguel Hiraldo's bad luck at the plate. The true newcomer Larry Larson checks in from Florida to talk about how the D-Jays' manager Jose Mayorga keeps it loose through a six-game winning streak in early April and their nine-game losing streak in late April and how things are going despite injuries to Brandon Barriera, Landen Maroudis, and Tucker Toman.

The Canucks failed to close out the series at home in game 5. Nikita Zadorov opened the scoring going on an end to end rush and sniping the top corner, looking like a giant Quinn Hughes. Unfortunately that was the end of the offense for Vancouver, as again they managed only 20 shots on goal. Arturs Silovs played a solid game, allowing only 2 goals on 22 shots. Jeff Paterson has returned from Nashville and is back in studio with Irfaan Gaffar to break it all down for you.Presented by Applewood Auto Group, Vancouver Canadians, Four Winds Brewing, Greta and Great Clips.
