Strike zone DRAMA...

Hey Coach, it does no good to argue balls and strikes!!
Anyways, yesterday's game was full of drama! Our starter got thru the first inning but the second was a different story!  The zone was very small and Taylor just couldn't find it.  Tyler came in to relieve him and struggled early with the zone himself.  We got out of the second and were down 5-0.  In the 6th our bats come alive, Bradley Vance sealed the deal with a grand slam (or so we thought). The Tech coach had a huge issue with the zone and he didn't get to watch the rest of the game.  I'm really thankful that Arch doesn't get that upset.  I have only seen him kick out once in 5 years, and he did nothing wrong.  The pitcher at the time supposedly threw at the batter and both the coach and player got tossed.  However Tech came back that inning to tie the game at 9.  And then hit a walk off bomb to win it in the 9th.  Ugh.. baseball is stupid! We are now 2-3.  We host Montevallo this weekend.  I'll take pic's of the field, best place to play in all of division 2!!

See ya coach!

Winning is fun!! We are now back to 500, 2-2! Today we played Fort Hays State out of the MIAA. Very typical MIAA team. Their coach got a lil upset with the men in blue and got kicked out. Trev started off a lil rocky but settled in and tied the career wins. Pretty cool. Our hitters looked better today. It was fun. Our guys ran more today and did some good things. Mike had the funny for today...over running second on the walk and almost getting thrown out! Silly boy!! But all in all baseball was fun today and winning is soooo great!

1-1

Yesterday was ummmmmm weird. The guys just couldn't find a way to get their bats going. We ended up losing 11-0. On a good note Mulvaney did well when he got into the game. That's a bright side of the game. Today is game 3, gotta get a win to win the series.

Game 1 good guys

Winners. It took 12 ugly innings but good guys are 1-0! The game was not our best at all. Leach started and did alright, Choate came in and finished it. I think they both threw 6 innings. Bradley hit a two run single in the 12th to give us the lead and that was all she wrote.
As for my line up, I was wrong. Lol. Maybe I should stop trying to think of line ups and stick to injury prevention and care. I was only a lil off. Kacz didn't start at 3rd base, but he ended the game there. I think he has found his home there. And Choate didn't start in right but at DH instead. Griggs started at 3rd, Rounder came in in the 6th maybe and Kacz took over in the 9th I think. Chestnut started in right. Otherwise I was right on! Lol.
It was so great just being outside again doing what I love to do. Had great convo with Taylor Dennis (tator) whom is today's starter. He throws gas!! Really enjoyable to watch.
I'm not gonna try to guess at the line up today. I think Wanne may get a shot in the outfield and Kacz will probably go ahead and get the go at 3rd. Should be fun!!

Tomorrow is the new beginning.

Well game 1 is tomorrow!! And I'm sooooo excited! We are here in Savannah playing Armstrong Atlantic. Today the boys had practice, well kinda. The field was super wet, so hitters hit in the cages and pitchers threw on the practice soccer fields. It was a good day I'd say. Can't wait for tomorrow!!
Hmmm... My starting line-up, completely my opinion!! We will see how close it is to what Coach Arch really does!
1. Leach
2. Rose
3. Enright
4. Vance
5. Kacz
6. Garcia
7. Huling
8. Blinn
9. Choate

We will see!! Hopefully tomorrow when I blog about the game we will be 1-0!! Until then!!

OUTSIDE.. twice.

Mother nature was very cooperative this weekend.  The boys were able to get outside for a couple days of practice.  I think the practices were good.  We didn't look anything like the '07 team... so that's a plus!

Yesterday was an "off" day, the position players went to sports acceleration and the pitchers threw on their own.  Me, I took the afternoon OFF!  I went shopping and had lunch at Moe's, yummmm! 

But today, is back to the grind.  The boys will be back inside today, as mother nature is going crazy with the storm of the year.. not necessarily here, but the rest of the mid-west is getting it!

The courier press wrote a nice lil article about Tyler Choate and his return to baseball this year.  I was most impressed with the last sentence of the article. Giving the Glory to God. I'm excited for this year for Tyler, and the rest of the team.
