Unfortunately, I have been busy with school for the last 10 days or so with relatively little time for my passion of blogging. I’m almost finished with the current semester, so I should have some free time for blogging baseball with the Hickory Crawdads again.
My last post dealt with the some hitting [...]

Let’s face it folks… We’ve had a rough week. The Hickory Crawdads have lost 6 out of their last 7 games as we were swept in Asheville by the Tourists over the weekend and on Monday. The good news is that today is an off day (Tuesday) so everyone should get some down [...]

Former Hickory Crawdad, Tony Mansolino, popped up in an interesting article on MiLB.com last week, and I just thought I would share here. I would have never figured Tony as a children’s book author, but I think I’m going to buy a copy of the book anyway!

Buy the Book
Maybe I can [...]

I believe I made a comment yesterday about how nothing good follows a lead-off home run by the opposing team… Would you believe it happened two days in a row? Mike Felix took the hit on Tuesday from Lexington’s Matthew Cusick. Today, it was the newest arm on the hill, Emilis Guerrero [...]

There was a lot “upside down” about tonight’s game in Hickory beside Marcus Davis on his way out to right field to start the Crawdads’ 4-game home stand against the Lexington Legends. I think Marcus Davis is someone we should keep our eye on though… I think he has great potential…
Anyway… The ‘Dads dropped [...]

The ‘Dads dropped a game this afternoon to the Kannapolis Intimidators after winning the first two of the series.
I had the opportunity to go to Saturday’s game in Kannapolis, where the Crawdads took a commanding 14-1 win over the Intimidators. Jose De Los Santos (pictured) led the offense with 4 hits and 4 runs [...]

Hickory Crawdad second baseman Matt Cavagnaro turns a double play to first base while Greensboro’s Osvaldo Martinez attempts to break up the throw…
I decided to make a road trip down to Greensboro this evening to watch the ‘Dads play the Grasshoppers. I had never been to this park before, but I must say its [...]

The Hickory Crawdads engaged in a pitching duel with the West Virginia Power in both games of today’s double header at L.P. Frans Stadium in Hickory, North Carolina. Dustin Molleken, by far, turned in the best performance of the day during game 1 of the set. Molleken took the mound against West Virginia [...]

The Hickory Crawdads finally got their 2008 season underway tonight against the West Virginia Power at L.P. Frans Stadium in Hickory, North Carolina. The weather was rather poor, and rain fell during most of tonight’s double header. The good thing about tonight’s double header is that we will complete this four-game series with [...]

I find it funny sometimes, but we have had so much rain lately, and last summer, we couldn’t buy a bucket of rain. The drought conditions here were so bad that we are still on restricted water use. I made THIS PHOTO back in October as a feature shot showing how low our [...]
