First game in 4 hours!
Like a kid on Christmas.
Sucks it is against the defending champs.
Opening Day starter. 3rd consecutive year.
6IP 8R 2BB 1K. We play seven and were visitors and lost 8-6 so I pitched the whole game. Hits and Earned runs are tough ones. I didn't look at the book after.
Had 3 run-scoring hits dropped in the outfield and one non-interference called when their runner ran right into our SS trying to field a routine 6-3. So instead of inning over it was 2nd and 3rd 2 out and of course I give up a hit to the next guy. Ump said after he got it wrong, thought our league had a rule that differed. We have a rule you cannot block bases/runners without the ball but not when you are going to field it. Pivotal play that would have made a huge difference in the game.
The 2 walks were to the first 2 batters. I was amped up and overthrowing. Calmed down and got into a rhythm and got a lot of ground outs the rest of the way. I had 4 1-3 put-outs and we should have had a 1-6-3 DP but the throw was high.
Batting line was 2-3, 1 2B, 1RBI, 2R. Not going to keep stealing stats. Catchers cannot stop the running game in our league. Already surpassed my XBH total from all of last year with my first AB where I put it over the CFers head.
We gave the defending champs a run for it. Had the tying run on in our last AB so a good first game overall
