Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

I was at the Omaha Stormchasers vs Columbus Clippers game tonight with my two cats. Take Meowt to The Ballgame promo. Yes you heard that right. Anyway...I saw Omaha hit 3 solo homers in a row. Yes consecutively. Nola, then Rave, then Waters hit homers. Got me wondering how often that even happens in a 162 game season in MLB.
I also expected Loftin or Waters or Pratto to be yanked from the lineup after Isbel took one to the dome today but they all played the whole time as far as I could tell. [Reply]

Haha. I’ve actually been to a Take Meowt to The Ballgame night in Omaha so I know that’s a real thing. Sounds like you got a fun one to see. Back to back to back homers in the MLB is not common but it’s not as rare as one might think. I’d guess it happens a few times a season. Back to back to back to back homers has only happened 11 times in history (as far as I can tell). Not sure if any team has done more consecutive than four. [Reply]
