I won’t be here for his AAA debut on Thursday, but I did see Yordano Ventura in the Storm Chasers dugout this evening. Shortly after this, the rest of the Chasers players started trickling into the Omaha dugout, and wishing Ventura a happy birthday. It was very sweet. Here’s hoping Ventura’s start on Thursday is …

This happened tonight at Werner Park. I knew it was coming, and it still made me all weepy. But you can see for yourself; the people in the crowd felt the same way. See tonight’s full set – including the Human Cannonball! – HERE.

This was the first time in a very long time that I’ve been genuinely excited to see an on-field promotion. Prettaay cool. Many more pictures – including a surprise reunion of a military family! – coming up later tonight.

This was a fantastic game. Chris Dwyer was excellent again, using his curveball to keep the Redbirds off the board completely for 6.1 innings. Like his last home start, he did not get a double-yoo.

In my offseason boredom, I’ve decided to bring you some advice in the style of the latter. When you watch a Spring Training game, or attend one, you notice that a typical fan outfit …

The Storm Chasers are in Reno right now, continuing their quest to repeat as Pacific Coast League champions. By this point in the year, we’ve all learned a lot about each of the players on the roster. But someone who’s not on the roster is a pretty important part of the team – strength and …

When I’m watching or listening to sports and I’m nervous about the outcome, I knit. Today, in the wake of Albuquerque’s stunning comeback win last night, I knitted almost an entire scarf as I listened to the Storm Chasers play Game 5 of the American Conference championship. Even when Omaha jumped out to a 10-0 …

Funny story about this autograph: This group of three little kids were screaming at every player in sight, asking for autographs. They even asked me for one, right before this happened. Then Wil came out of the dugout to sign for him, as he is wont to do. The kids asked him, “What’s your name?” …
