SUR/CAP Trade
(Preview)
Surprise responded to Santa Fe's blockbuster deal with Capreol by...making their own big deal with Capreol. However, they focused on adding a few more arms. The much beloved Rougned Odor and the fairly well liked Randal Grichuk head to Capreol in exchange for David Price, Trevor Cahill, Pedro St...

Surprise Still Shopping
(Preview)
Believe it or not, we only have a little over 2 weeks left before the 1st trading period comes to an end. After adding Cruz, the 2017 Zombie lineup looks pretty scary. However, the pitching isn't quite up to our recent lofty standards. Here's what we have available at this point: 1) Rougned Odor - In h...

Who Adores Odor More? Hodor!
(Preview)
As some of you know, I really love Roogie Odor, as do the Surprise fans. His knack for big hits combined with a scrappy/jerky attitude has made him a local hero and inspired delicious hate from our opponents. However, the time has come to at least explore the market for a 22 year old 2nd baseman who hit 3...

NMO-Harmony Grove CLDS
(Preview)
With the games knotted up at two each the series continued: Game 5: Strasburg was dominant throughout and NMO could not touch him, but the NMO bullpen was almost equal to the task, allowing 1 run in 6 IP. Bottom of the 9th with Uehara closing it out, Machado singled and then Jason Rogers PH and promptl...
