Huge Games Await the Crabs, with Playoff Hopes in the Balance
In baseball, and in life, sometimes you have to focus on the things you can control. The Humboldt Crabs enter the last two-game set of their conference schedule against the last place West Coast Kings tonight at a deadlock with the Lincoln Potters for the final playoff spot in the PEL, and a chance to play the Healdsburg Prune Packers for the championship. All the Crabs can do is focus on the task at hand, and do their part to handle what is out in front of them. It has taken a late season surge, some dramatic moments filled with ice in the veins, and a belief that it could happen, but our boys enter this week controlling their own destiny. Just win, just win and hope the Potters lose. It’s a situation that has been recognized by the coaching staff for the entirety of the past week. When asked last Tuesday what he thought the Crabs had to do to make the playoffs, Eric Giacone, who is in his eighth year with the Crabs, said without hesitation, “We’ve got to go at least 6-2 over these final eight, but it’s exciting because we can and we know what we have to do.” This isn’t Giacone’s first rodeo, and almost prophetically, the Crabs find themselves in that exact position entering tonight's action.
