Photos of the day: ANOTHER walkoff win in Omaha!

Mike Montgomery gave up 3 homers tonight: Problem?

Mike Montgomery could have been pulled after his 103rd pitch, which was ball 4 to Angel Sanchez in the 7th inning.  That was Montgomery’s 3rd walk of the night and his 2nd of the inning. No one would have faulted Mike Jirschele for pulling him, but he elected to leave Monty in the deep water …

Y’Know Meter: May 3 (4-3 W vs NYY)

Name - number of Y'knows - time on the air - Y'Knows Per Minute

People who have had knee injuries: Did you just die inside every time FSKC (and ESPN and MLB Network and so on) showed Mariano Rivera writhing in pain? Awful to watch. Obviously I’m no Yankees fan, and I do think closers are overrated, but Mo is Mo, and horrific injuries are hard to watch. Anyway, …

Y’Know Meter: April 27 (7-6 W @ MIN)

Name: Number of Y'Knows - Time - YPM

Thanks to a migraine, I caught the last few innings tonight. I was supposed to be at wedding-related stuff (not MY wedding; relax). Tomorrow, I will be thrilled to watch two of my best friends marry each other. This is so exciting, because I know with certainty that TWO of my closest friends will not …

The triumphant return of the Y’Know Meter

Name - number of Y'Knows - time of interview - Y'Knows Per Minute

Lots of people say Y’Know a lot. It’s a handy filler word, y’know? But not everyone is interviewed on camera, and it is our duty to gently mock those who are for leaning on Y’Know. TONIGHT: True to tradition, I only did the clubhouse interviews with Yost and Hosmer, not the on-field ones with Gordon …

I had actually forgotten what not-losing, even for one night, felt like.

It feels AWESOME. Also, Rex Hudler is extremely orange. Like Snooki, or an Oompa-Loompa. Whatever he’s paying for his tanning, it’s too much.

Pics and notes from another extra-inning win

Omaha wins yet another game (yay!), and yet again they took extra innings to do so (boo.). Enjoy some celebration photos, hot off the presses. Some notes before I head home: – With Greg Holland going on the disabled list, Jeremy Jeffress was called up. That’s super for him, and I suppose it’s a logical …

Some notable Storm Chasers performances: Offense

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.

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 …

Walkoff win #2 – this time with no extra innings

After yesterday’s marathon win, the Storm Chasers needed a solid – and lengthy – start out of Vin Mazzaro. After one inning, this looked like a good possibility, as Mazzaro struck out two and induced a groundout. In the bottom of the first, Omaha shook Rangers prospect Martin Perez for three hits,a walk, and two …
