"Smooth as Glass"

Awesome! ...and thanks for the warning...son will have to face that slider sometime in April!

BTW-For newcomers-Dad04 is Buddy's father. He's
a sophomore at Louisiana-Lafayette.

Catsuremom, tell your son to go with the pitch-
take it to right !

Buddy's pretty tough though-don't lean too far
over the plate-he can pitch inside as well.

Wow, amazing, and way to go Buddy!

Dad04, that is great. Congrats to Buddy and to Dad04, who taught him all he knows???

Congrats to Buddy - when he pitches, it sounds like the team fielding percentage goes up or at least it does not go down with all them K's

Yes I did teach him all I know. It really didn't take very long. Fortunately he had enough sense, obviously from his moms side of the equation, to disregard the "bad intel".

Hooray for Buddy! That's great to hear!

Congrats to Buddy and Dad!!!

Dad04,
I pretty much realized my son's skills and ability exceeded my knowledge of the game when he was 15 and stopped trying to coach him then. Felt pretty good about things until I learned others thought his skills exceeded my knowledge of the game...a couple years earlier. Luckily I didn't inflict too much harm and he has overcome most of the bad information.

Dad04,
Another nice start!!! keep him firing!!

Catchersdad

Dad04....Buddy sure knows how to start off a season! Great job.....

but I think it was moms slider instruction that turned the corner for buddy

He loves his momma and her slider instruction.

Dad04 ...

Congrats to a great start ... his numbers look awesome in his 2 starts. Enjoy the season.

Still enjoying it. Jr's in a rocking chair with 2 CG SHO's in 7 starts.

Dad04, Aeden just called; he's watching Buddy pitch on TV and thoroughly enjoying it. And a big Congrats from him on that stellar ERA.

Shame about today's blue, however.....

Me too.

I watched too via Sling Box. Thanks Orlando and TPM....and Aeden! He was cruzing until he apparently severely disturbed the umpire, who promptly forgot the strike zone for an inning or two.

A friend watching in Savannah called me during the game and asked "What did Buddy do to make the umpire mad?"

At least we won....in the bottom of 13. He went 9 innings. His ERA balloons to 1.27.
