Up next….audio highlights from the road games….
I wish this were clearer
Nick Shaw hit his first professional home run in the Rattlers 9-3 win over Kane County to open the 2011 season.
The thing I noticed from the booth was how happy his teammates were for him. Happy. That’s one word for it:
Robbie Garvey greets Nick Shaw at the dugout after Shaw's first pro home run
Again. I wish this were clearer. Maybe the highlights will have a better shot of it.
UPDATE: Well, unfortunately, the highlights from the in stadium cam did not include the homer. But…HEY! Highlights on YouTube!
By the way, that was a Chili’s ‘Rattlers Win, You Win’ victory tonight. If you were one of the 3,234 fans at Time Warner Cable Field tonight, you should have received a coupon good for free chips & queso at the Appleton Chili’s.
Game story from the Rattlers website is here.
I think this is going to be a fun season! More in the morning.
2011 Player Entrance Music
This the only post of the morning. The reason: It is the question everyone is going to ask after the game tonight.
Timber Rattlers fans, the entrance music for your 2011 Timber Rattlers (20 of them)*

This is a serious list.
Notes:
My only problem is that Thornburg is not scheduled to pitch at home until the next home stand.
I may be ready to pitch when Bashara’s music hits.
When Cravy or Holle come out of the bullpen, I may break out my Jim Ross impression and say…”MY GOD! THAT’S GREG HOLLE’S MUSIC!” or “WAIT A MINUTE! CRAVY’S COMING OUT TO THE MOUND! MY GOD! WHAT A NIGHT!!”
Like I said at the Leadoff Experience last night, “It going to be an interesting year.”
*I’ll update this post when the other players get their music.

The Timber Rattlers Pitching Rotation

Here is how the pitching rotation for the 2011 pitching rotation will start the season:
RHP Austin Ross
RHP Matt Miller
RHP Jimmy Nelson
LHP Del Howell
RHP Tyler Thornburg / RHP Dan Britt
Rattlers fans will see Ross start Opening Night against the Cougars. Miller is scheduled for Friday night. Nelson and Howell are set for Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
Thornburg and Britt will work in tandem for at least the near future and their first scheduled outing is for 4/11 at Cedar Rapids.
Startin’ to come together, Pepper…Startin’ to come together.

Yes, I know. There are 27 players on the roster and 25 is the limit for the active roster. There are a couple of moves…and probably a number change or two before Thursday. BUT….Here are the players who are on the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 2011 Opening Day Roster:
