Tirado Stops Hartford
Friday, July 17th , 2026
David Tirado was in a mood to talk following the New Hampshire Fisher Cats contest against the Hartford Yard Goats, expounding to BNN reporters on his pitching philosophy. He had good reason to be excitable, having tossed a complete game shutout of the Yard Goats, 4-0.
"There are three important elements in pitching success: location, location, and location," Tirado said. "I was hitting my spots time and time again."
The right-hander blanked Hartford on a 8-hitter, allowing 1 walk and racking up 6 strikeouts.

Bermudez Will Sit Out 3 Games, Suspended by League
Wednesday, July 15th , 2026
The New Hampshire Fisher Cats were not very happy with the home plate umpire in today's loss to Hartford at Fisher Cats Field. One in particular -- Bobby Bermudez. Upon being called out on strikes, the Fisher Cats third baseman gave the ump quite an earful. For that, the man in blue gave him the thumb and sent him to an early shower.
But the disgruntled Bermudez lingered on the field for another five minutes, berating the umpire. Finally his manager got him off the field and into the clubhouse.
But it got worse after the game, when Bermudez told reporters, "He was awful out there. They played 'Three Blind Mice' for him."
For his escapades and after-the-game oration, the league office suspended Bermudez for 3 games.
Currently Bermudez is batting .519 with 2 home runs, 4 RBIs and 9 runs scored.
