Soddies by Morning: Heartbreak at Hodgetown

The ninth inning woes continued in Hodgetown on Tuesday night for the Sod Poodles. In a game with five lead changes, Amarillo took a 9-8 lead into the 9th inning before Gerardo Gutierrez gave up 2 singles, 2  walks and eventually a go ahead sacrifice fly by outfielder Chase Davis, once again putting his fingerprints all over this series. Amarillo has now allowed 12 ninth inning runs in just three games (San Antonio did not have to bat in their two wins last series). The Sod Poodles' last shot

Soddies by Morning: Springfield Uses Two Huge Innings to Sink the Sod Poodles Home Opener

There were fireworks after the game, but Springfield put together their own fireworks show in the 5th and 9th to sink Amarillo 16-7 in their home opener. A former Sod Poodle told me last night when asked about what to do when the wind is blowing out of Hodgetown: “Pray harder.” After a clean first inning from Amarillo starter, Arizona’s #26 prospect Roman Angelo, the Cardinals took advantage of the Panhandle wind blowing out early, homering in 4 consecutive innings between the 2nd and the 5th.

The opening series is in the books for 2025 and the Sod Poodles are heading home with their first victory. Starter Spencer Giesting tossed a terrific 5 shutout innings on 79 pitches (51 strikes), and looked like he did towards the end of 2024. The left handed pitcher drafted out of Charlotte in 2022, struck out 5 and didn’t walk any of the 18 batters he faced en route to picking up his first victory of the year. Giesting attacked the zone early and it paid off on Sunday. The Sod Poodles had to

Sod Poodles Drop a Nail Biter on a Wet Opening Day in San Antonio

On a messy night that included some rain, sprinklers, and 5 total errors the Sod Poodles dropped a 5-4 nail biter in their opener against the Missions in the Alamo City. The Sod Poodles were stifled by a fleury of 8 different arms that San Antonio tossed at them, with only 2 going more than 1.1 innings. It didn't look like it was going to be that way early, as both starters started out sharp the first two frames before the Sod Poodles took advantage of Missions lefty Jagger Haynes after he gave

Names to Know to Kickoff The Sod Poodles Season

Since the inaugural season in 2019 there has been no shortage of star power in Bomb City. Major league closers David Bednar, Andres Munoz, and Trevor Megill shut down opposing offenses, and National's Opening Day starter MacKenzie Gore joined halfway through the season on the way to the 2019 Texas League Championship. That season also included a brief appearance from Fernando Tatis Jr. before he burst onto the scene. In 2022, Corbin Carroll put together arguably the best individual season in Sod
