I’m sure we can do better than the 5 that were chosen. Kids baseball teams have better names. How Sad.

I was born and raised in Amarillo and for those to be the name options for our Professional Baseball team, that is horrible. Where do I sign up to suggest names?!

Coming from someone who loves baseball and was excited to purchase season tickets, until yesterday, I'm all for family friendly, but the parents are the ones who take the kids to the games, and these names don't get me excited to cheer at a game.

We can surely do better than these! Not only do we need better options, but the choice should be open to vote by the community. All of the options start with "Amarillo", but the name should include the wide area Amarillo represents - High Plains... or Panhandle...the best name for baseball players is "The Boys of Summer".

It sounds like preschoolers picked these names out. These “finalist” names are horrible.

Silly is OK. Stupid is not. I can hear team opponents now referring to our team as "the jerks." Never heard of a sod poodle, but I'm OK if you want to call 'em prairie dogs. Call 'em roughnecks or roustabouts (oilfield terms), pioneers, ospreys, drovers, or anything else that references the city's heritage. Just don't insult us again.

Terrible and somewhat insulting. Let’s pick something family friendly that isn’t so stereotypical.
This is humiliating to our city!!
How about the Yellowjackets?
You need to come up with 5 different names none of the 5 listed need to be chosen.
Names are a joke.
5 better names: 1. Twisters 2. Hail Storm 3. Prairie Dogs 4. Freight 5. Bomb Squad
