CANNON BLASTS: No Cannon appeared in more games than outfielder-pitcher Dave Brundage. He was with the Cannons from 1989-1994, first as an outfielder, then as a pitcher. Brundage suited up for 352 Cannons game. He is currently the manager of the AAA @RiverCats

@xenodog Sadly, there were too many of those dates. Just good enough to not postpone the game, but hardly comfortable conditions for fans.

Here is a good illustration of why the #Cannons are in the history books and not on the field. To the left is Opening Weekend 1996. To the right is the same dates in 2022. Notice any difference? Me either. Hi today is -2C (28F). Plus, more snow in the forecast. Sigh.

Didn't the analytics team try to stop this?

In June of 1974, Nolan Ryan threw 235 pitches against the Red Sox. He made his next start on three days rest and won. Then he pitched 19 more years.

Some one should give @fergieajenkins a call to discuss pitching. In his career, he had 267 complete games!!! None of this WHIP FLIP ERA+ O-SWING, Z-SWING Crap spewed out from a computer.

@xenodog You got it!

This is a disgrace. Remove him after seven innings and 80 pitches? Because some analytics program said they should yank him? This was, potentially, a great moment to celebrate. The 2022 version of baseball stinks.

.@ClaytonKersh22 was brilliant with 7 perfect innings.

MEMO: To MLB and MLBPA. Just go away. Far away. Until you show a shred of respect for your game and your fans, I'm checking out!

CANNON BLASTS: Infielder Kevin Hooper was a key cog on the final Cannons team in 2002. He batted .288 in 130 games and anchored anchoring the middle of the infield. Hooper stayed with the Cannons successor in Albquerque in 2003 and 2004.

ESSAY: Is anyone paying attention to the future of baseball? Doesn't seem like the major league player or owners are! Click below for my thoughts:

Plenty of #yyc ties to the @Brewers coaching staff

Pitching coach Jim Henderson is a native Calgarian
Infield coach Matt Erickson played two years with the Cannons (2001-2)
