A Day @ The Ballpark.

We had a fun time at the Rangers game. Check out some pictures.

This One Made Me Scratch My Head. 4/21/07

I don't know what happened at this game but I do know it drove me crazier then most. It probably had something to do with the fact we beat ourselves. Swinging a pitches over our heads sent me into a bad nightmare. Pitching was OK. The 2nd inning Nick mowed the batters down. In the third no two pitches seemed to be called the same. I know Coach John was upset about that. I was still trying to figure out why we wanted to swing at pitches we couldn't reach. There were little bright spots in the game but one player had a very good game throwout the day. Matthew Pena was great at the plate & I had him stealing bases. Good job Matthew. All in all it's hard for the boys to get a rhythm with all the rain outs we've had hopefully that's behind us. Shake it off & move on. By the time we're done we'll be on top more then on bottom. Work hard guys.

Game 3, This One We Just Came Up Short. 4/11/07

In this game we finally got to make some real baseball plays. Fly balls caught, balls fielded, Hit & Run, attempted steals put out, & so on. We stranded to many guys on the bases early but when we had to have a defencive stop we stepped up & did it in the fourth inning to give us a chance to hit our way to a win. We looked like we were heading toward doing it with some good base running by Holden but just came up a little short in the end. Ben had some rocky times but pitched his way out of trouble with the help of his team when he needed to. Hammer came in relief to pitch 2 1/3 great innings earning him the game ball for the game. We've got this team again Saturday. We'll get'em next time.

Game 2, Curtis & Brik Playing Catch. 4/10/07

Game #2 was totally different then game #1. Defensively this was a game of catch. Curtis pitched a great game & Brik kept getting better at catcher as the game went on. A very different story with the weather also. It was a perfect evening not hot or cold just right. And with the warmer weather came the bats. The boys were swinging the bats & putting the ball in play. The game ball got split between the defence of the night, Curtis & Brik. Boys keep swinging those bats because it's more fun to hit the ball then walk.

A Cold First Game 4/7/07

It may of been cold but at least we got to play a game. Unfortunately we came up a little short at the end of the game. Nick Llorente had a good first outing on the mound but the bats were a little cold. No I mean really "COLD" it was 34 degrees & snowing at times. Brik came to the dugout during the second inning asking for his sun glasses. When I replied there isn't any sun. He then said something I've never heard said in a baseball game, "I need my glasses to keep the snow out of my eyes, I can't see". Between innings the boys were drinking hot chocolate & wrapping up in blankets just to stay warm. The game ball went to Grant Baldwin for his first hit ever in a game. This is Grant's first year to play baseball & he's trying to do what ever we tell him to get better.
