Earl Weaver teaching Bob Uecker how to get tossed is a masterclass.

Mixed feelings as Buck Martinez announces his retirement. Perhaps the greatest ambassador that the sport of baseball has ever had and a great friend to the Cactus Rats/Prospects. His signature voice and great stories will be missed by all. All the best in your retirement Buck!

Construction progress continues at Energy City Metro Ballpark. The field of play is largely ready, with standard spring prep planned. Stadium lighting and exterior precast walls are nearing completion, with seating installation scheduled this winter.

Construction update: stadium lighting components are now staged and ready for assembly at Energy City Metro Ballpark, marking progress on key game-day infrastructure.

Earlier this summer, our players visited Energy City Metro Ballpark, walking the site, taking it in, and testing the field. A big thank you to our fans for sticking with us, your support drives this project. More updates soon.

It’s official: the WCBL has approved Energy City as the location for Cactus Rats home games in 2026. Final City approvals will follow as construction progresses. A major milestone for our fans and our city. Thank you to the WCBL Board and our community. Spring 2026, we’re ready.

As promised our first construction update SUMMER: Field prepped for the final series (washed out by storms); team visited. FALL: Light work, touchups, framing, early drywall. DEC: Lighting, precast walls, weather-seal, interior work, storage facility progress. More updates ahead

We hear your concerns. • Ballpark construction has been delayed. • The 2026 WCBL season is confirmed with an approved home field. • All tickets + packages will be honoured. Construction updates are coming. We’re committed to clarity and earning back trust.

2026 is locked in. 28 home games. 28 road games. Opening Day to the final pitch, Energy City is ready. Circle the matchups. Rally your crew. This summer, the Cactus Rats are coming alive. ⚾ Follow for updates as we roll into 2026.

Happy 29th birthday @KodyFunderburk! The @Twins hurler and @Okotoks_Dawgs/@eccactusrats alum is coming off his third big-league season, where he went 4-1 with a 3.51 ERA in 39 relief appearances. @wcbleague #WCBL #Baseball ⚾️🇨🇦 albertadugoutstories.com/2023/08/29/fun…

@WhitMerrifield Agreed - getting the timing and distance exactly right is not easy. I wish he would have errored on the aggressive side even 2 ft. 2 more questions. 1. Did sliding cost inches vs running through or head first? 2. What was your view on the infielders playing in on Earnies fly?

Quick thread: So there’s a lot of back and forth on this play. 1. Some people disagree with the strategy. Fair. But that’s how it’s coached. From Spring training to in game of game 7 of the World Series. 30 other clubs would’ve been telling IKF the exact same thing.

Congratulations to the @BlueJays on the most exciting World Series in modern day history! (Can’t remember before that.) what a great team and a great effort. You did yourselves and the country proud! @wcbleague

Cumulatively 15” cost the Blue Jays the World Series. 3” higher on that slash bunt and Jimenez has a double and Earnie scores. 6” deeper and Pages doesn’t make that catch and the Jays walk it off. 6” better secondary lead and Kiner Falefa scores and Jays win. Game of inches

@DMEASrecruiting @ACresci7 Wild down the middle is not good!

@ACresci7 Wow. Yes you teach or should teach, hunt the fastball. Everyone who has NEVER come close to the places Smoltz has been already try to challenge him. It’s really easy from behind an L screen or in front of a computer. If it’s so easy then why didn’t you do it? 🤷🏻‍♂️
