Two days in Houston. Two Royals victories. No postgame Gatorade baths?
The Salvy Splash was curiously absent after the Royals defeated the Houston Astros on Friday and Saturday at Minute Maid Park, so this beat writer went in search of an answer. What is journalism if not for super important investigations into stories that affect this community?
Well, actually, I just asked around a little bit. Catcher Salvador Perez wasn’t available before the series finale on Sunday morning. But a few clubhouse sources indicated that the Splash might not be dead — though perhaps scaled back a little in 2017.
