Dbacks #1 prospect Jarrod Parker to visit Dr. James Andrews on Tue w/ intent of having Tommy John surgery on 10/28 #mlb

Four straight losses and nine defeats in the last 10 games make this the roughest stretch in an already seemingly lost season.

Nothing has gone right for Omaha lately, and if there was any hope that getting a longer than normal breather, and getting away from Rosenblatt would improve the team’s chance, that seems to have been dashed for now.

For the second straight game the Royals couldn’t make a late 1-0 lead stand up, and the ninth inning was a nightmare for the Omaha pen.

At 23 wins and 30 losses, Omaha is rapidly seeing its season slip away. After a dreadful May, the Royals had to have hoped that June would be a new beginning. Opening the month with a series against a Round Rock Express team that came into town sporting just a 23-29 record had to further embolden the team.

Omaha continued it’s mostly manic play, as they split a four game series with PCL American North leading Nashville.

At some point, Omaha’s late inning rallies are going to lead to dramatic victories. So far, they’ve been more of a tease.

ndividually, most baseball players will tell you the hardest thing to do is hit a baseball. As a team they’ll tell you one of the hardest things to do is sweep a double header. That was obvious Wednesday night as the Omaha Royals and Fresno Grizzlies took part in two games that couldn’t have been more different.

Bruce Chen wasn’t about to let teammate Heath Phillips show him up. Phillips had thrown a complete game for the Royals two days earlier, and it was apparent that when the veteran righty took the ball in the opening game of the Wednesday night twin bill, he was looking to do the same.

The minor leagues are filled with stories of journeymen players who spend their entire careers bouncing from one Major League club to another Minor League club, but few can boast the kind of story that Lenny DiNardo has.

May 24th was a busy day for both the Kansas City, and Omaha Royals. Thanks to new injuries and the recovering from old ones, Kansas City made a whopping six transactions that will reshape the chemistry not only of the major league club, but also that of Omaha.
