ABOUT LAST NIGHT...: The Blue Jays had their rubber game in Johnson City rained out last night. Because it is the final head-to-head meeting between the two clubs, it
will not be made up as the Bluefield season is now truncated to 67 games. Bristol had their doubleheader in Danville rained out last night as well and those games will not be made
up.
VS. THE WHITE SOX: Bristol has struggled this year, but two of their ten victories came against the Baby Jays. Bluefield opened up the 2012 season in Bristol and rolled
to a 7-2 Opening Day win behind four perfect innings from Daniel Norris in his pro debut. These inter-division rivals split the six-game season series in 2011 with the home team
winning two out of three in both sets. The Baby Birds hosted Bristol from June 27-29 and won two of three. It was a series of comebacks, some unfulfilled. Bluefield nearly blew a
10-0 lead in the opener, but hung on to win 10-6. The middle game saw an 8-0 Jays comeback fall short 8-7. Art Charles made an error in the ninth inning of the rubber game that
put Bristol ahead, but in the bottom of the ninth, he launched a walk-off three-run homer to win it 9-7. The two clubs played in Virginia fom July 12-14. Bluefield won the first game
3-2, but the White Sox bounced back to win 9-6 and 5-4. Bluefield played the White Sox in the 2002 Appy League Championship Series, with Bristol beating the then-Baltimore
affiliate two games to one.
NORRIS: One of the most highly-touted prospects in the Toronto farm system, lefty Daniel Norris, struggled early in his start against Greeneville on Monday, but he settled in
and netted the win. He allowed hits to five of the first 11 batters as the Astros scored three runs, but he set down eight of the last ten to finish his outing. Norris made his professional debut in Bristol on Opening Day on June 19. He retired all 12 batters he faced in picking up the relief victory. The 2011 second-round pick was rated by Baseball America as
the fourth-best prospect in the Jays entire organization. In 2011 BA ranked him second among high-school prospects and 91st overall. The former Clemson signee struck out 123
batters in 68 innings as a senior at Science Hill HS in his native Johnson City, TN.
JENSEN: Right-hander Tucker Jensen had his start rained out last night on his 23rd birthday and will pitch in relief behind Norris. He aims to bounce back from a rocky start
against Greeneville on Sunday. He struck out the first two batters of the game in a 1-2-3 first inning, but he allowed runs in each of the next three. He only went four innings, giving
up five runs and seven hits, though he did strike out a season-high seven. He is two innings short of the league qualifier, but his 1.04 WHIP would rank fourth and his 28/5 K/BB
ratio would be fifth in the circuit. Last year, he allowed 14 earned runs in 11.1 innings in four starts for Bluefield. He excelled in eight Gulf Coast League starts to begin his career,
pitching to a 1.77 ERA with an 8.9 K/9 rate to earn a one-game call-up to low-A Lansing. Between three levels he struck out 56 batters in 57 innings of work. A decorated hurler at
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL, Tucker was named Sun Conference Pitcher of the Year in 2011, also earning NAIA Second-Team All-America honors.
Tucker is the grandson of 1958 American League MVP Jackie Jensen.
OLACIO: 18-year old southpaw Jefferson Olacio has issued the most walks in the Appalachian League (28 in 32 innings) and will start the series opener. He has good hit and
strikeout totals with 29 of each outside of his control issues. He pitched five shutout innings in beating the Jays on June 21. His last time out was a tough-luck complete-game 1-0
loss in a doubleheader in Kingsport. Hailing from Santo Domingo in the Domincan Republic, Olacio started the season with low-A Kannapolis and posted a 1.61 ERA in the bullpen
while striking out 24 in 22.1 innings. But since moving into the rotation in late May, he was rocked in five starts (11.05 ERA) before being transferred to Bristol. A towering presence
on the mound at six-foot-seven, Jefferson debuted in the Dominican Summer League in 2011, going 3-5 with a 5.50 ERA in 11 starts. So far in his pro career, hes had a lot of
trouble finding the plate as hes averaged 7.7 walks per nine innings. Still, Baseball America has him ranked 15th among White Sox prospects.
WERE GOIN STREAKING!: Second baseman Christian Lopes doubled twice and scored twice in Thursdays loss, extending his hitting streak to five games. During the
run, hes 7-for-18 (.389) with four doubles, two triples, five RBIs and six runs scored. Center fielder Dwight Smith Jr. ran his hit streak to six with an eighth-inning single. He is
9-for-26 (.346) during his streak, with a homer, five RBIs and four runs.
WHERES THE GLOVE?: Thursday nights error-laden defeat set a new season-high (or low) as Bluefield made six errors. The Jays have committed 67 in 39 games to lead
the league. They rank eighth in the ten-team league with a .955 fielding percentage. Despite throwing out 41.2 % of base stealers, catcher Santiago Nessy is tied for the league
lead for most errors behind the plate with seven.
A BIRTHDAY AND MILESTONE SPOILED: Last night, Blue Jays manager Dennis Holmberg celebrated his birthday and managed his 2,500th professional game on
Thursday, but it was a disappointing loss. Hes closing in on his 1,300th win in professional baseball. Over 25 seasons as a minor league skipper, he has a career record of
(.519). After eight seasons as a third baseman/outfielder in the Milwaukee system he began his managerial career at age 25 in
