  • Round 5 Recap: Sox split rain-affected home series with Perth
    2025/12/15

    Have a question or suggestion? Let us know!

    We go game-by-game through the Perth set with Brooke Knight. Thursday opened with a classic duel — Alex Wells and Tucker Smith trading zeros — and even down 3–0, Sydney’s ninth-inning push showed the club’s late-game heartbeat. Friday belonged to Landon Bourassa: a second straight complete game — this time a 6–0 shutout — pounding the zone (~75% strikes), expanding hitters late, and finishing with eight Ks as he got stronger. Saturday’s Game 1 turned on Gary Grosjean’s sharp ABL debut and Sydney’s 0-for-11 RISP; we get Brooke’s scouting read and an update on Jagger Beck’s hamstring. Sunday was rain-soaked and called in the 6th, so we dig into managing mentality, conversations with Perry Roth and the umpires, and keeping emotions in check. Plus: lineup tweaks — Joe Stevens to cleanup, Anthony Huezo heating up and more.

    2025/11/23

    Andrew recaps a home-opening rollercoaster as the Blue Sox split 2–2 with the Bandits—11–1 on Thursday, 9–2 on Friday, 5–2 in Saturday’s early game, then an 8–1 response to close the doubleheader. We spotlight Alex Wells (now 2–0 vs Brisbane: 5.0 IP, 0 ER, wriggled out of traffic while the Bandits went 0-for-12 RISP, 12 LOB) and Ben Ferrer (first true start: 5.0 IP, 4H, 5K, 1BB).

    At the plate, Briley Knight set the tone Saturday night with an RBI triple and RBI double, and Association Day brought a buzzing crowd to Blacktown.

    We go game-by-game with manager Brooke Knight. Quick heads-up: after Game 3 the recording goes sideways—Andrew jumps back in to recap the rest.

    What’s next: Adelaide visits Thursday, 6:00 PM at Blacktown (watch on Baseball+ if you can’t be there). Plus, we’re launching ABL weekly on Baseball+ dropping Wednesday!

  • Round 1 Recap: Sox slug their way to 2–1 series win in Brisbane
    2025/11/16

    Have a question or suggestion? Let us know!

    Andrew recaps a wild, rain-hit opening weekend as the Blue Sox take the series 2–1 in Brisbane—8–1 on Opening Night, an 18–5 demolition in the doubleheader, then a 1–0 pitchers’ duel to close. We unpack Alex Wells’ tone-setting gem (5.2 IP, 9 K, 1 ER), a deep debut from the pen (first look at Ky Jackson and a 9-strikeout burst from Josh Bishopp), and an offense that flashed real thump: .330 team AVG, 7 HR, and double-digit walks. Standouts include Eric Rataczak (6-for-13, HR, 6 RBI), Harry Fullerton (2 HR, 5 RBI), and 18-year-old Josh Nati with his first ABL knock—a three-run homer.

    Plus, we chat with manager Brooke Knight about what stood out—Wells’ command, bullpen roles, the surprise power, and how Sydney carries the momentum into Thursday’s home opener.

  • Season Preview w/ Luke Eisenhauer
    2025/11/10

    It's nearly that time! Andrew is joined by broadcast partner Luke Eisenhauer for a fast, fun Blue Sox season preview and how the new four-team, 10-week sprint changes roster building and game-to-game strategy.

    We introduce the 2025/26 roster: a projected rotation led by Alex Wells, with Ben Ferrer, Ky Jackson or Astros farmhand Jagger Beck, Landen Bourassa arriving after Team Canada duties, and Coen Wynne ready to flex starter/long relief or closer. In the pen, expect experienced leverage from Josh Guyer and Todd Grattan, plus depth from a busy local group. On the position side, we cover Jo Stevens, Hansel Jiménez, Jaylin Rae, Briley Knight, and the import bats (Anthony Huezo, Pablo Núñez, Eric Rataczak)—plus Week 1 contingencies with Solomon Maguire (CF) and a pair of imports both under injury clouds. Harry Fullerton and Josh Nati loom as immediate puzzle pieces for Brooke Knight.

    Enjoy opening week and we hope to see you at the ballpark next weekend!

  • Gary Van Tol
    2025/10/31

    Blue Sox Director of Player Development Gary Van Tol joins us to unpack how Sydney is building a local-first, sustainable roster one smart decision at a time—coming off a minor premiership and aiming higher. Gary explains his selection philosophy, how he and the team are balanceing winning now with pathway minutes for NSW talent, and the import profiles that best complement a young core.

    We also dive into Gary’s journey through the game—college coaching, a decade in the Cubs system, managing in short-season ball (Eugene, Boise), relaunching Boise State baseball before COVID cut the program short, and lessons from independent ball—plus how he meshes with Brooke Knight. It’s a smart, candid look at roster building, development, and what fans should expect to see on the field this season.
