April showers bring what???

quote:Long story short, I started RF and played well backing up and everything but never actually had anything hit to me. However, Coach DHed for me having my bud hit for me which wasn't a big deal at all, I was happy to be out there.

If I had my life to live over again, I would wish to have 1/10 of your attitude about things. Being happy to be out there is a GREAT attitude. If it were me (looking back on things), I would have pouted that I was not hitting and only made things worse. You'll see that someday, your spirit or attitude about things has already made you a winner at the game of life.

Clubhouse reporter: So how does it feel to get your first professional win?
Ebby Calvin LaLoosh: It feels out there. I mean, it's a major rush. I mean, it feels radical in kind of a tubular sort of way, but most of all, it feels out there.
Crash Davis: [watching Ebby from across the clubhouse] Hopeless. This is utterly ******* hopeless.
2B will likely top out at 5-11, and he throws in the low 80s. Not intimidating at all, but he gets pretty good movement sometimes. His coaches say he's a natural IF, and think he's got a bright future there. But he does very much enjoy getting on the mound every now and then.

ZacksDad, patience.Looks like your son is learning from Jeff Francoeur! I know it is frustrating now, but he will have his chance. Who knows what the coach is thinking, but sometimes the things that we think are politics just aren't. Sometimes they are. But sometimes they're about what the coach thinks is best for the player and the team. Doesn't make it right, but as someone said in another thread, that's HS ball. Just the way it is. Anyway, I hope it all works out.

Rats...hit the wall at exactly the wrong time. Lost last night 7-3 in the game that decided the league champion and #1 seed for state tournament. No excuses. Just not our best game.
One highlight for me. Their leadoff guy is nicknamed 'Speedy'. He hits a slow roller towards SS and son charges, gloves it, and fires on the run to get him by a step. I'll bet that kid has been beating that out since tee-ball....It's always fun to get 'Speedy' on a play like that...
We were the road team. It's 105 at game time and the visitor's dugout faces due west....no shade anywhere...the home dugout is shaded and has a huge oversized fan....it's good to be the home team.
