The 2025 Pecos League Season is officially over, following the Tucson Saguaros three game championship series win over the San Rafael Pacifics.

My Bakersfield Train Robbers lost in the first round of the playoffs, 2-1 versus the Dublin Leprechauns, ending a terrific season in heartbreaking fashion. I'm  already looking forward to another season of managing the Train Robbers in 2026. 

We finished 35-19 during the regular season, in second place, two games behind San Rafael.

While we finished short of our goal of a championship, I was proud of the way my team battled all season long. We were devastated by injuries early but somehow held it together and won 23 of our last 28 games.

It was a typical baseball season, with high moments, low moments, fun times and not so fun times. Fortunately, there was little drama amongst the players. They got along well and I can't think of any selfish moments. They truly played the game the right way for which I am very proud.

We'll see what 2026 brings but if we have another 35 win season, I'll take it. Just have to get it done in the playoffs. It hurts to play a full season, only to see it evaporate in a short, three game series. Baseball, like life, can be a crap shoot.

I'll post some pictures soon. Right now I'm trying to decompress from another season of grinding it out in Liga de Pecos.

To my players and fans....THANK YOU!
