FACT CHeCKING MYSELF

One of the great things about blogging is that you can be wrong and noone takes you behind the woodshed for it. I am glad for that, because on this journey of Montgomery baseball history I have been consistently misled and misinformed concerning basic history facts. And of course I pass the savings along to you! Things like Turkey Stearnes, who isn't from Montgomery and didn't play his first pro games here no matter how many things we read say that he is and he did. Like the Montgomery Climbers playing at Capitol Heights, which they did for a small handful of games but spent many, many mo ..read more

No Joy in Biscuitville

  And so the Montgomery Jinx rolls on... As the Biscuits fell to the Barons on Tuesday night, Montgomery fans were disappointed for the umpteenth time, but not overly surprised. The post-season struggles the Biscuits have endured for most of two decades has become a fall tradition, like watching the leaves turn colors and knowing the State Fair opens soon. Instead this will be remembered as the season we watched Chandler Simpson swipe his hundred bases, enjoying Carson Williams smooth patrol of shortstop and for the Grey Sox game in Birmingham. It's the year Big Bob slugged homer after ..read more

Postseason Biscuits! The Dr.'s Notes and Gray Sox Pennants

  Mason Auer, two way player Your playoff-bound Biscuits wrapped the regular season for 2024 in Pensacola. When the meaningless game went into extra innings on the last day of the season, Biscuits skipper Boles summoned centerfielder Mason Auer to the mound. Auer promptly tossed a wild pitch to send the Extra Inning Manfred Man from second to third, surrendered a single and managed to mix in a popup before coughing up the game ending run. No sense wasting bullpen bullets when you can send a position player in to get the team on the bus back home ASAP!   Now that the seas ..read more

  2007 Biscuits Going into the final homestand of the 2024 season the Montgomery Biscuits are poised to accomplish what has eluded the clubs that preceded them for what seems like endless summers. When the Biscuits earned their second consecutive pennant in 2007 the team and its ballpark were fresh and new. The Montgomery effort has now outlasted all but a handful of other organizations in the league back in 2004 and will soon tend the oldest yard in the circuit.  As critical as I have been in the past, even this season, about how the Rays leave Montgomery shorthanded, thi ..read more

  On Saturday night at Riverwalk Stadium a drama played out, although going mostly unnoticed by fans in attendance and to little fanfare. In the late innings of a ten to nothing drubbing of the Smokies, essentially a meaningless game for Montgomery, the homestanding Biscuits were putting the finishing touches on their victory to earn a split of the series. Yet a simple call to the Tennessee bullpen signaled an important moment for one player.     But I am ahead of myself. Lets back up.    A HERO FALLS Moats 2021 The last time we saw pitcher Dalton Moat ..read more

   Learned a LOT so here it comes... Bob Seymour ruined that guys day. After six games vs the MBraves the Biscuits will be welcoming a new opponent for the second half of the early season twelve-game homestand. It was a back and forth series with the Braves resulting in an even three-way split, with the Biscuits earning two games, the Braves winning a pair and the umpiring crew getting credit for the other two.  The crew of officials started strong but by mid-series were getting shouts from both dugouts and if the trend continues they could be "that crew" of umpires ..read more

   OPENING NIGHT REPORT The Biscuits opened their home sked with a 9-0 whitewashing of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, who provided a pile of errors that led to Montgomery enjoying batting around in the seventh inning to put the game away early. The Biscuits pitching has been solid early in the season, as Southern League hitters often wait until the weather warms for their bats to heat up.  Make sure you have get a scorecard with plenty of spaces to write pitchers names in, there is a good chance to see seven or eight arms from each team on any given night.   On the hitting ..read more

  The Biscuits finally got a new manager! Yet with Kevin Boles taking the helm its difficult to predict what we should expect from him in Montgomery. Boles has made stops at multiple levels with multiple affiliated organizations, as well as recently heading a club in the Appy League, a collegiate wood-bat level.  Boles shares a similarity to previous Biscuit managers, being the son of a well known baseball man. Like Billy Gardner Jr and Brady Williams, Kevin Boles father made a name in the game as a manager and coach, though the elder Boles, John, staked his claim largely on the c ..read more
