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 …

Storm Chasers win American Conference, finally, in Albuquerque!

Omaha Chasers

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 …

After the fireworks show

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?” …

The Omaha Storm Chasers spent one evening only as the OmaHogs, which was the runner-up in the fan vote for the new team name two years ago. It was “What If?” night, and the team’s magic number was just two. A win over 2nd-place Nashville would clinch Omaha’s 2nd consecutive division title. So in their …

Biggest smile in the Majors

Joel Goldberg just interviewed Lisa Stranahan in the stands during the Royals/O’s game. She used to be Salvador Perez’s host mom. In June, when Perez was here in Omaha, Lisa reached out to me in an email thanking me for putting up pictures of Perez, and she asked me to tell him hello for her. …

A quick note about Donnie Joseph’s rough-ish outing

Categories:

Omaha Chasers

by

New Royal Donnie Joseph made his first appearance as a member of the Royals organization last night. His line does not look amazing, but I want to note that it wasn’t as bad an appearance as it looked in the box score. He pitched the 9th: 1.0 3 2 2 2 0 0 18.00 None …

Dwyer makes AAA debut in weird, hideous game

Categories:

Omaha Chasers

by

Where to even begin? Let’s just dive into some bullets. This was Chris Dwyer’s triple-A debut. I’m guessing that as much as he and everyone in this stadium might want to, he won’t forget this night. The first inning was fairly decent despite starting with a walk. Dwyer erased that runner on a double play, …

My All-Star experience: In bullets!

Back to real life. This is no fun. Here are some All-Star Game bullet points as I count the seconds until regular baseball comes back: I typically despise the All-Star break and only watch the Derby or the game if I’ve got some blogging commitment. The empty MLB schedule feels like a tiny little winter …
