The Serie del Caribe Starts Today!
The best tournament in international baseball starts today! Yes, that’s right, the Serie del Caribe (Caribbean Series) begins this afternoon in Mexicali, Mexico. For those who might not know, the Caribbean Series features the champions of the Big Four winter baseball leagues – Puerto Rico, Mexico, Dominican Republic, and Venezuela – along with a number…
Is Winter Almost Over?
It’s been a bit since we have written a post for our followers to read (and thanks to you both!), but the entirety of 2024 seemed like one long slog for us. We moved to from Jacksonville to suburban Houston this summer (we miss you Jacksonville!) and with all that a move entails on both…
The Catch’s 2024 Major League Baseball Predictions
We are just a little more than an hour from the first pitch of the 2024 Major League Baseball season, so it is time once again for The Catch’s Grade-A, Super Awesome, 100 percent guaranteed accurate* predictions for the 2024 baseball season. Prognosticating seems to be a fools errand these days (ed. – yes, you…
Rogers Hornsby was Absolutely Correct
In addition to being a great ballplayer, masterful hitter, and World Series winning manager, Rogers Hornsby was a bit of a philosopher. His wonderful statement about the useless time between the end of the baseball season and the beginning of spring training perfectly encapsulates what I feel each and every winter: I miss baseball. When…
A Quick Look Back at the 2023 All-Star Game
It’s Friday once again and that means it is time for The Catch staff to take a break, drink a beer or two, and talk about baseball. This afternoon, we are at the amazing Strings Sports Brewery in the Historic Springfield District of Jacksonville. I can think of no better venue to discuss this week’s…
Knee-High by the Fourth of July
The Catch is on vacation in the beautiful Midwest this week. While driving along to our destination, we have passed field after field of deep green-colored sweet corn that all look amazing, especially to an eye that’s seen little but overgrown weeds and browning palm trees in Florida over the past few years. There’s a…
Friday Musings
Another work week has flown by and now the staff of your favorite Jumbo Shrimp-flavored blog is busy drinking beer at Jacksonville’s King Maker Brewing Co. and coming up with new content for the blog, the Twitter feed, and the Instagram feed. Let me tell ya…it’s no easy task. But the beer makes everything better.…
It’s Here and it’s Beautiful…The 2023 Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp Roster
The staff of The Catch gathered this afternoon at downtown Jacksonville’s Ruby Beach Brewing Company to celebrate the start of the Minor League baseball season. While we had hoped to watch a bit of the Sacramento at Salt Lake City matchup, it was delayed due to weather. So, now we just get to drink beer…
Jumbo Shrimp Host Meet The Team/See The New Food Day at the Ballpark
The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp hosted local Jacksonville media yesterday – well, except for us, the Jumbo Shrimp’s only fan blog. I guess our invite was lost in the mail – to introduce the 2023 edition of the team and to show off some of the new culinary treats that fans will be able to eat…
