I have thoughts about the game – OMG a win for Zack! – and Trey’s firing later. But for now, after a horrid week of cold, rainy weather, it is nice outside and I am going for a walk with my best friend. See you soon.

Am I about to defend Trey Hillman?Am I going to say he has earned the right to finish out his contract?Will I suggest that he’s a better fit for the Royals than whoever would be brought in to replace him if he were fired today? Oh gosh, no. No, no, no, no. Trey Hillman has …

These are the things I was thinking when I walked into the seating bowl at Rosenblatt Stadium yesterday evening: Where should I sit? Ew, I’ll bet the seats will all be wet from the rain this afternoon. Who’s charting tonight? I hope it’s someone funny. Oooh, this sunlight will be AWESOME for photos! I want …

I made this video for a school project this week. Big thanks to the ORoyals for giving me a press pass, and to the players for their wonderful interviews. I wish I didn’t have a 2-minute time limit, because there was LOTS of other good stuff. Enjoy! (In order of appearance are RF Jordan Parraz, …

I attended last night’s Omaha Royals game as media so I could get some footage and photos for a school project. In the 8th inning, Mike Aviles got drilled in the arm by a pitch. Here he is showing manager Mike Jerschele where it hit him. It was a rough night overall for Aviles, especially …

I probably should have put this up a few days ago, but: This is a terribly busy week for me academically, and I’m spending as much time as possible on final projects and a couple of research papers (while also working two jobs and an internship).

In the bottom of the 7th of the Royals/Twins game today, the score started getting way too close for comfort. Jim Thome was brought in as a pinch hitter with the bases loaded. Admittedly, I didn’t like Josh Rupe’s chances of getting through Thome unharmed, but Rupe struck him out to end the Minnesota threat. …

I vaguely remember an exercise I used to do when I was being overly grumpy. At the end of the day (or whenever), I would get out a piece of notebook paper and write down 10 good things about whatever person/event/class that was bothering me. After a loss like today’s Royals game, it’s tough to …

Friday’s 18-inning marathon was a great look at Omaha ‘pen

Categories:

Uncategorized

by

Friday’s Omaha Royals game was 18 innings long, which is impressive in a lot of ways. It was impressive because it was 5 hours and 22 minutes long. All the fans who stayed in the stands on a chilly April night were impressive. But perhaps most impressive were the bullpens on both sides, who took …
