Trust The Process

by Minda Haas

Yesterday, a number of commenters on a story in the Star blasted Jonathan Sanchez because of his Twitter account. Apparently, Sanchez definitively hates Kansas City and doesn’t care about his performance here because he doesn’t Tweet about baseball. No, seriously: Did anyone hear about this clown’s twitter account? Not one mention of the Royals. Most …

Trust The Process

by Minda Haas

Nobody in my day-to-day life is likely to care much (if at all) about the changes happening in the Royals blog community today. If I tried to explain to any of my coworkers why I got a little bit choked up while reading a post about a blogger ceasing to blog, it wouldn’t make sense. …

A few notes from Friday night’s 5-4 Chasers win

Categories:

Omaha Chasers

by Minda Haas

The pitcher had to balk to make the play this close.

Iowa’s pitching coach Mike Mason was ejected in the 3rd for arguing a balk call. Here is Anthony Seratelli diving back into first on what turned out to be a balk that moved him to 2nd. The funny thing is, it ended up not mattering whether Seratelli got to take second on the contested …

A tale of David Lough and triumph and woe

Omaha Chasers

by Minda Haas

Like I said, I was experimenting, so it's dark. I know.

David Lough now owns the club record for career triples, with one in the 8th inning of Omaha’s 5-2 win over Salt Lake. Big congratulations to him! I was only about 30 feet from 3rd base when he slid in safely and captured the record. I was in the middle of an experiment with shutter …

Storm Chasers lose to Bees, but here’s a picture of Ryan Eigsti in a ketchup hat

He borrowed it from the promotions staff

Wil Myers went 0-3 with a walk and a strikeout. He led off the 8th with a fly ball to deep center that looked like it could have been his first AAA home run, but fell a bit short. There really wasn’t much offense of which to speak. Tony Abreu tripled in the 8th, but …

Doubleheader Game One: Chasers win 8-5

Categories:

Omaha Chasers

by Minda Haas

Outfielders Derrick Robinson (front), Jason Bourgeois (right), and Wil Myers (back) have ups. Bourgeois broke up a no-hitter in the 4th and started an explosion of offense. Omaha won 8-5.

WIL MYERS UPDATE: Myers went0-2 with a strikeout and a walk. He also scored a run. His batting average in Omaha is .455, and obviously will remain that high forever and ever, amen. A three-game sample is big enough, right? Omaha is now 27-16 and has an 8-game lead in the division. Game …

Your first (?) look at Wil Myers in Omaha

Categories:

Omaha Chasers

by Minda Haas

Wil Myers started tonight in CF, batting third. He told me I can take as many pictures as I want, as long as they’re good. Well, uhh….sorry about this first one, Wil. Myers went on to single in his first plate appearance. Here’s a few shots of that at bat. Bloggers, you know the deal …

Link of the Day: Storm Chasers player cards, by me!

Omaha Chasers, Quickies, Site Announcement

by Minda Haas

For some reason, I didn’t shout this off the rooftops, even though it has been extremely exciting for me: The Storm Chasers hired me to take the photos for their 2012 player cards. So, for the first homestand-plus, I ran all over the ballpark, taking pictures of each player. It was actually the project I …
