One of the great parts of playing minor league baseball is all the different places you get to see and people you get to meet. Unfortunately one of the more difficult parts of this profession is having to be away from home all the time. For me this isn’t as hard as some of the […]
One of the main qualities of a good team is there ability to come together and bond as a team. So far we have not had much time outside of the confines of the respective stadiums to really spend some quality time together. So one of the ways in which we improve our friendships and […]
Well we finally proved that we could win without Curtis Granderson, and following with the trend of the week ended the game the only way we know how. It really is amazing what winning will do for a team, from improving attitudes, breaking slumps and building momentum. Going into a week long road trip we […]
The White Caps took care of Beloit but they needed thirteen innings to do it. Kyle Peter singled home Audy Ciriaco for the game winner and it capped off a four for six game for Peters. He finished the game with two RBIs and a run.
Rudy Darrow picked up the win with a shutout inning […]
There are many things that we as ballplayers try to make happen aside from bettering our own careers. One of these things is keeping fans coming to the games and make the games worth watching. Now part of that is the responsibility of the marketing staff, but there are things that the players do which […]
It seemed fitting that Curtis Granderson would get a triple in his first game but what didn’t fit was that he did it in Grand Rapids. Still, Granderson had two of the White Caps four hits including that triple, which was West Michigan’s lone extra base hit in the 3-0 loss.
Emmanuel Miguelez took the loss […]
After a long and for the most part, disappointing road trip (6 days, 1-5) we get to return home for some much needed rest and support. It never is that difficult playing in other team’s parks, because the fans don’t play the game, we do. However there is something to be said for playing at […]
This past weekend marked the first test of adversity for the Whitecaps in the early stages of 2008. It is never easy to go on the road and win especially when you have to go so far from home. Also it is never fun losing, but it hurts a little deeper when you know you […]
Jonathan Kibler had a decent enough start but Wilton Garcia was roughed up and the hitters never really got it going in their 6-2 loss to Clinton. Kibler gave up two runs on six hits and one walk with five strikeouts in six innings. Wilton Garcia gave up four runs in his relief appearance. Andrew […]
So far this season has started off on the right foot for the Whitecaps. Everyone seems to be finding their groove and settling into their roles quite nicely. Some of us are getting acclimated to taking on a new role, myself included. However, with the coaches and support staff our organization has in place, these […]
These days it is pretty hard to know much about your favorite players beyond their stat line. With that in mind, every so often I will feature a piece titled the ‘Pen Profile. This gives you, the reader, a chance to get to know your favorite Whitecaps players. Due to the fact that I am […]
The White Caps continued their perfect start to the season with an 11-1 drubbing over the Loons. Casper Wells put on a show for the crowd in the home opener and he went four for five with two homers, four RBIs and two runs. Marc McBratney went three for five with a double, an RBI […]
The White Caps made it three straight against South Bend although the games are getting tighter. This time it was 5-4 even though they had more then twice as many hits. Marc McBratney went three for four with a double, two RBIs and a run. Ron Bourquin doubled, walked twice, drove in a run and […]
My first goal for Thursday’s activities was to make sure that I was on time for the bus leaving to South Bend, so I wouldn’t have to be the first fine of the year. Once that was taken care of, my teammates and I began to think about baseball, after all this was our first […]
Growing up in Michigan and being a lifelong Tigers fan, I had an idea of what spring training was all about. You get to beautiful Lakeland, Florida, kick back, throw some bullpens, play some golf, hang with the big leaguers, and then when it’s all said and done you go pretty much where you think […]
