Joplin – The Joplin Crawdads celebrated a playoff birth in the KCBL by attending a late night showing of “Clash Of The Titans” Sunday night. In what has been a media windstorm for the Dads’ in Joplin since their handling of the Fogelberg Falcons last Monday night, the group seemed happy to have an excuse not to talk.
“It’s been a wild ride for them since the Crack-Daddy (Darrell Porter) took over,” commentator Joe Gordon said from his home Sunday night. “They have really bought into his style of ball and are winning big games by getting big hits… The city is high on Crawdads Baseball right now.”
The team revealed late last week that all new interview requests have been suspended as every member on their rooster, coaching staff and broadcast booth has a full media schedule till the playoffs start… Rumor has it that the bat-boy, little Scotty-Haden, has several interviews scheduled over the next few weeks.
With mythical pitching, Spartan-like hitting and a legendary General, the Crawdads seems to be the Kraken that has been released onto ASB.
