RoundUp Recap: July 2

If you missed this week's show here is what you missed!!!
Manager Greg Tagert talks about the promotion of Jose Yepez to the Seattle Mariners, answers your questions and more...


Ever want to learn the frustration behind an injury or the recovery process? How about discussing the importance of defense? Shortstop Kyle Haines discussed all of the above this week in an extended interview...


Lastly, President/GM Andy Viano joined the show as always to talk about the 4th of July weekend's events in addition to his memories of Jose Yepez...

Yepez to the Show

Here is a story so big that I felt like it deserved a pair of photos...Jose Yepez, who won titles with the RailCats in 2005 and 2007, was called up to the Majors yesterday, joining the Seattle Mariners...Yepez was called up when Erik Bedard was placed on the DL as the Mariners brought up two catchers from Triple-A Tacoma...While indications are that his stay may be brief (Read the Mariners release below), it is still very exciting news and a hot topic among the players, coaches, and staff...And, since Yepez was not on the 40-man roster, the Mariners added him to the 40-man, which at the very least could mean a return to the show in September when rosters expand...His promotion will be discussed in length on this week's edition of Woody's RailCats RoundUp on Saturday morning...

Yepez joins Tim Byrdak, who currently pitches for the Mets, and Nathan Haynes, as former RailCats to appear in the majors...

So the other day I was so impressed that I had to post a photo right away...Well, here are some other photos of the Home of the Saltdogs and also the Nebraska CornHuskers...

University of Nebraska

So here are some pictures from my visit over to Memorial Stadium, which looks much closer than it actually is from the press box of Haymarket Park...Again, a kind gentleman was nice enough to take me up to press level to snap some shots there in addition to finding my way down to the field...
