Amarillo Sod Poodles
Soddies by Morning: Robinson and Troy Make Magic Just in Time Missouri
For six innings last night it looked like it would be the usual result against the Cardinals for your Sod Poodles, but Amarillo's two most consistent hitters this year had other plans in mind. The Sod Poodles offense was stunted by a stellar performance from Cardinals #23 prospect Max Rajcic, who was one of the only Springfield pitchers to to not have success against Amarillo earlier in the season. After giving up six earned runs the first time around in Springfield's only loss in the second se
Soddies by Morning: Sour Start to the Road Trip as the Sod Poodles Drop the First Two in Springfield
The Soddies embarked on a historically long road trip on Sunday after winning the last three series coming in. Unfortunately Amarillo will now have to sweep the remaining games to keep that streak alive. The highlight of the night was Spencer Giesting. The Amarillo southpaw put his stamp on the series early, tossing what might’ve been the best start of the season for Amarillo (the last two Dylan Ray starts certainly are up there too). Giesting tossed the longest outing for Sod Poodles pitching
Amarillo Seals the Series on Mother's Day Weekend, Ray Dominates Again, Robinson and Try Stay Hot
Another week, another series win. The Sod Poodles won a third straight weekend after starting 2-10 in their first 12 games of the season, but at theis point I think we can safely say that they have turned it around. Let's recap the weekend! FRIDAY: 6-4 TULSA Friday night would be the only game that the Sod Poodles drop on the weekend. The Amarillo offense would strike first in the first against Jacob Meador, a teammate of Alec Baker and Zane Russell at Dallas Baptist University, all of who wou
Soddies by Morning: Starting Pitching and Groover Come Up Big To Help the Soddies Sweep the Double Header
For the second time in 2025 the Sod Poodles swept their double header. The Bomb City boys are officially the hottest that they've been the entire season after starting May 5-2 and on the verge of taking their third straight series. Let's take a quick look at the double header on Thursday night to see how the team is staying so hot. GAME #1: 6-5 AMARILLO Cesar Gomez got a suprising start for Amarillo after making his return from Reno for the second time this season. The Reliever gave Amarillo w
Soddies by Morning: A Bad Ninth Inning Sours the Soddies Series Opener
The Sod Poodles came back home hot, riding their longest winning streak of the year at three games, taking their second straight series against Midland. Kristian Robinson wasted no time making himself back at home in Hodgetown. Robinson tanked a leadoff home run off of Drillers starter Carlos Campos. Robinson has been scalding hot since being moved to the leadoff spot, slashing .339/.455/.661/.1.116 in 18 games in that stretch. Gavin Conticello reached base on his eigth walk in four games in th
Soddies by Morning: Amarillo Sweeps the Weekend in Midland
Never more appropriate to bring this back, "That's what we call a winning streak." It has happened before, but this is the first time this season. The Amarillo starting pitchers stepped up this weekend, and paired that with some timely timely hitting turned into a trifecta of wins. Following a heartbreaking 2-0 loss despite another great Roman Angelo road start on Thursday, the Sod Poodles starter Jose Cabrera picked up where Angelo had left off. Cabrera took the mound after picking up his firs
Soddies by Morning: Offensive Shut Out Spoils Roman Angelo's Good Start in Midland
Roman Angelo has been a road warrior in his two starts away from Hodgetown this season. The Fresno State Bulldog has only given up 1 earned run in his two road starts on this season, a run that was inherited and allowed to score by the bullpen in the seventh inning in Frisco, including pitching 5 shutout innings on Thursday night in what turned into a pitchers duel between two pitchers with some of the highest ERA's in the Texas League. In Angelo's 5 innings of work he made it a point to get ahe

Soddies Lose a Seesaw of a Game as Robinson Blasts Off
The Sod Poodles dropped their first extra inning game of 2025, losing a seesaw of a game against the San Antonio Missions 13-11 in 10 innings . After winning the first two games of the series, Wednesday night's contest saw an unexpected scoring spree with two really good pitchers on the mound. There was at least one run scored in every inning up until the ninth. Well it turns out Spencer Giesting is human. The Amarillo southpaw struggled for the first time in 2025 against San Antonio on Wednesd
Short Shoves, Melendez Mashes, and Troy is Still Streaking
A pre-game 89 minute delay couldn't stop Avery Short on Wednesday night. After only going .2 of an inning in his first crack at this Missions lineup, the Sod Poodles southpaw tossed 6.1 scoreless innings to set the tone for Amarillo, tying him with Roman Angelo for the deepest outing of the season for the team. Short struck out 4 Missions while giving up just 1 run/earned on 5 hits and 2 walks to pick up his first career Double-A victory. In a place that is usually a nightmare for flyball pitche
