The Chasers are coming back to town tonight after a road trip to Albuquerque and Round Rock. Through 16 games, the team is 11-5 and in first place. Given the struggles of the pitching staff, and the enormous burden the bullpen has had to bear, a productive offense has been instrumental in keeping the wins …

Omaha bullpen has pitched more innings than the rotation. PROBLEM.

Categories:

I was going to write up something about how heavily taxed the Omaha bullpen is, but I didn’t want to accidentally make a Tax Day pun. And yet, here we are. Dumb topical puns aside, the Omaha bullpen has had to work awfully hard in the team’s first 12 games. Let’s do this: GAME ONE …

After one inning, this looked like a good possibility, as Mazzaro struck out two and induced a groundout.

Categories:

Happy Opening Day from Werner Park! Some notes: -Will Smith, making his first Triple-A start since joining the Royals organization, was shaky. He threw a ton of pitches, needing 26 pitches just to get out of the first inning – even though the first out came on the first pitch. Despite walking six batters, he …

If you have kids, you know how expensive it is to keep them in clothes that fit – and it can be tricky even if you’ve got a steady income.
