Salvy at 1B tonight. I've never have seen this before.
And just like that a 6-4-3 DP.

I know he has been at first at least once before. Anyways, the lineup has been really screwy this season, Escobar in center a lot for some reason. Moose played a bit at first, but that was to pump up his trade value I think

Looks like the Royals did good on this one.

Yeah they are trying to save the wear and tear on Salvy's knees. He's caught a lot of games the last few years.

With Colorado Springs relocating to San Antonio, there will be slight re-alignment in the divisions...it'll be Omaha, Iowa, Memphis and Nashville in the same division next season.

For the Cubs fans:

Kris Bryant (most probably heard that part) is scheduled to play tonight and now it's been announced Tyler Chatwood scheduled to pitch tonight against Chasers.

Movie screenings are not usually a part of the Baseball Winter Meetings experience, but there's a first time for everything.

On Monday night, in a Mandalay Bay hotel ballroom far removed from the back-slapping hustle and bustle of the teeming lobby, approximately 30 people gathered for a screening of "50 Summers." This new documentary, produced by Hurrdat Films, chronicles a half century of Minor League Baseball in Omaha, Nebraska.

The screening at the Winter Meetings marked the third time that "50 Summers" has been shown in public; its producers are currently entering it into various film festivals while working to secure a distribution deal. The film details the history of Omaha's Pacific Coast League franchise, from its 1969 inception (as the Royals, playing at iconic Rosenblatt Stadium) through the team's current incarnation as the Papillion, Nebraska-based Omaha Storm Chasers. Throughout the film, behind-the-scenes footage from Opening Day 2018 is interwoven with archival clips and interviews with a wide range of former players, front office members, business leaders and journalists. These include everyone from financial mogul Warren Buffett to Storm Chasers president Martie Cordaro to Omaha alumnus George Brett to Minor League Baseball president Pat O'Conner. (Full disclosure: this writer makes a brief appearance in the film as well.)

Its a great film. I went to the screening a few months ago at the Dundee Theater. I have a few photos in the movie! (hopefully they got my name added to the credits now)
