Artificial Turf Wars

Around The Nest: Climbing The Ladder


Listen Later

In the second episode of Around the Nest, the Blue Jays minor league podcast, host Tyler Zickel (the play-by-play voice of the Vancouver Canadians) takes listeners on another continent criss-crossing look around the Toronto Blue Jays farm system.

First stop on the tour is a visit with Buffalo Bisons broadcaster Pat Malacaro, who was with the Bisons in Allentown, PA. Pat and Tyler talk about how the inclement northeastern weather has continued to have an impact on the Bisons. They also touch on players like Braydon Fisher and Paxton Schultz who came from other organizations, and have been called up to the big leagues. Players going the other way, like Alan Roden and Davis Schneider, were discussed, and the conversation ends with a fond farewell to Steward Berroa, off to the Dodgers after being designated for assignment to make room on the Blue Jays 40-man roster for Fisher.

Next up, Tyler’s colleague in the C’s broadcast booth, Chris Georges, stops by. Tyler and Chris detail Trey Yesavage’s Northwest League debut, Sean Keys’ graduation from Bucknell with a mechanical engineering degree, and the C’s struggle in one-run games. With all the promotions to AA that took place last week, both express surprise that Pat Gallagher–who has been Vancouver’s most reliable bullpen arm–was not elevated to New Hampshire as well.

In the 3-spot for this episode is the voice of the Dunedin Blue Jays, Eli Fishman, fresh off his own graduation from Ithaca College as well. Two bats making a lot of noise for the D-Jays right now are Edward Duran and Sam Shaw, and Eli talks in detail about their contributions to Dunedin’s offence. With some big league rehabbers in town about to move on, Eli and Tyler speculate about some possible promotions from the Florida Complex League like Carson Messina, Johnny King, Landen Maroudis, and Silvano Hechavarria

Hitting cleanup is the tag team of Bob Lipman and Chris Jared, play-by-play men for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Just like the Bisons, the weather has played havoc with the Fisher Cats’ schedule, and Bob talks about how the team adapts to that. Chris discusses the impressive double-A debut of Grant Rogers, and how the highlight reel defence of Cade Doughty has helped stabilize New Hampshire’s shaky defence. Ryan McCarty and the Iowa Meat Truck himself, Peyton Williams, also came up for discussion.

Travel all around the Blue Jays farm system without ever leaving your living room with this second episode of the Around the Nest podcast.
