SWB – The Mystery Continues (updated)

Thanks to reader RD who pointed out there was a discrepancy between the schedule posted by the IronPigs and the Press Release from SWB. (Which turns out not to be a discrepancy – just somewhat confusing)

Mike Vander Woude, media relations director for SWB stated via e-mail that the SWB Press Release from IL HQ is 100% correct.

I have just now learned that (4/5-4/6) will wind up being HOME games in exchange for two others (so we have Opening Day as a home series) and an announcement is forth coming.

Seems the (4/28-4/29) games have been changed to SWB home games at CCP and the (4/5-4/6) games have now become IronPig’s home games against SWB.

Regardless 4/5 lives on as our new (now) HOME opener and it sounds good to me! Only 188 days to go!

OinK On!

  1. The Pigs PDF schedule was updated Sept 30th, in part to reflect the additional ‘home’ SWB games and to indicate day or night for the other road contests.

  2. I wonder if not having a home field will have an affect on SWB’s ability to sign veteran minor league free agents. Many of these players rent apartments in the home area of their team so they have a permanent residence during the season. Without a hometown they would be like nomads, always on the road. The young Yankees farmhands don’t have a choice if the Yankees assign them to AAA but the minor league free agents have the option to sign elsewhere if they don’t want to spend the summer living out of a suitcase..

    • Since the majority of ‘home’ games are in Rochester, that sounds like as good a place as any.

    • Good point Decal – it certainly may effect some signings. Like RD stated and I did see in a recent article that most players would be setting up their “home” base in Rochester.

      • Okay, I see it now. When it was initially reported that Rochester would only be able to accommodate them for half a season I assumed that meant 1st half or 2nd half. But, in looking at the schedule now, I see the games at Rochester are spread out throughout the entire season. April–4, May–12, June–8, July–7, August–6.
