The boys played down to the level of competition last night and did not have enough to pull it out. Pitching and hitting were left at home. Thanks to Trevor for holding the score, giving the boys a chance to get back into the game.
Again, even after many warnings from the coaches, the boys still are not looking down for their signs before stepping into the batters box. Some got the signs and did not do what they were suppose to do. I will be checking with the base coaches and there will be disciplinary action taken against the worst offenders. Players cannot just do their own thing to the detriment of the team.
Pitchers need to throw strikes. The team we played last nigh scored 10 run, had two base hits. That gives you an indication of the gifts that were given to them. Hitters did not hit either. Their pitcher was throwing meat up there and nobody was hitting it. I also an a little leary of the baseballs FAA has issued to use. They sounded like mush off the bat. I saw a couple his we had that were hit hard and they went no where. It may be part of the safety craze these associations are falling into.
Don't get me wrong. I understand safety. But this game is played by hundreds of thousands of boys each year and the media spot lights one freak accident and treats it as the norm.
