Here’s the latest edition of C’s Tweets about the Vancouver Canadians from players, team officials, broadcasters, bloggers and other persons of interest in the month of May so far. The tweets feature a grab bag of interviews, video highlights, scouting observations and anything else of interest about the players who donned the C’s red, black and white.
Some of the newsworthy events that happened include Nate Pearson‘s forearm injury, Kacy Clemens‘ promotion to Dunedin and the promotion of pitchers Justin Dillon and Conor Fisk to Buffalo for their Triple-A debuts.

Almost too much good news to fit in one tweet:
Max Pentecost hits a two-out, two-run double off the left field wall to give us a 3-2 lead in the seventh!
It also puts Sean Reid-Foley (season-high 10 Ks) in line for his fifth win in five starts. #LetsGoCats pic.twitter.com/vXC2uBhO7r

C Riley Adams has surprisingly struggled at the plate, but his defensive skills have improved tremendously. He framed a couple of nice strikes for SP Patrick Murphy.

Cavan Biggio just launched his 6th HR of the season in AA New Hampshire. A no-doubter.
His power surge has been lazily written off as a byproduct of the short porch in NH, but he’s made noticeable swing changes & his contact rates suggest there’s something real to it. #BlueJays

96mph fastball on the outside edge for strike three.
Tim Mayza is the #BlueJays best option for a bullpen lefty, and I’m not sure it’s close.

Ryan Borucki looking good through two IP today. Mixing his pitches, getting ahead of hitters (when his CH becomes a weapon), and avoiding barrels.
— Future Blue Jays (@FutureBlueJays) May 6, 2018
Borucki has been in command of his fastball, curve, and change today. Hit 93 with his FB, throwing lots of low paint today.
— Future Blue Jays (@FutureBlueJays) May 6, 2018
The two out walk is stranded, Borucki likely done after 7 shutout, 2-hit effort. 5Ks, 10 GB outs. 97 pitches/64 strikes, consistenly ahead in the count. Longest outing of the year.

I rarely leave the ballpark sad..tonight I left sad for Nate Pearson. To be clear I DON’T KNOW what the injury is and I’m not even going to guess. He looked in a lot of pain leaving the game and it was sad to see for this young guy. I hope he gets well soon.. hoping for the best
