The 2009 TinCaps

April 9th, 2009 | Author: Chad Gramling

Tonight, the Fort Wayne TinCaps kicked off their first year as the TinCaps with a 4-0 shutout win in Lansing. Two players who return from last year, Drew Cumberland and Sawyer Carroll, each collected two runs batted in while Anthony Bass picked up the win in his first professional start. He struck out four while allowing just three runners over six innings.

The Fort Wayne Wizards/TinCaps are now 12-5 all-time in season openers.   

In just one week’s time, we’ll be enjoying the home opener at Parkview Field. Should be an exciting time and will be really cool if businesses do leave the lights on for the. Should be magnificent to see downtown all lit up and vibrant.

There is a lot  being written about the TinCaps right now and next week we will probably be drowning in media coverage as the opener approaches – if you watch, you may even catch me on TV a time or two! Very vew will research the players to the level I do, so I had planned to do an overview of each player next week. If I get time this weekend, I may still do so. However I wouldn’t count on it.

One good place I suggest you all look in preparation for the “homecoming” of the TinCaps to Parkview field, is Scout.com’s MadFriars.com. John Conniff has provided an outstanding 2009 TinCaps Preview that covers much of it. According to Conniff, both Decker and Latos should join the team shortly.

I tell you what, this is going to be a pretty good squad. If they stay healthy, and they stay with us all year, get ready Fort Wayne! Methinks I smell a championship!
