Another LOL rec baseball moment:
Semi-final game today is rained out. Commissioner says we have to play tomorrow night at 6:30PM. We play only games on Sundays all season. Half our team either has to work or is travelling on business. Commissioner insists the field and umps are booked and we forfeit if we cannot field a team. Such a joke.
Forgot to update but we got a call from the commish and re-scheduled to 2PM Sunday. The other team bitched because their best pitcher left town after the 10AM rain-out but whatever.
We lost. I came in to pitch the last 2 innings. We were up 1 run when I came in and I gave up 4 runs, maybe 1-2 earned. Walked 2 and one HBP. I was not at my best and we also made some tough errors. Against that team, which did not lose a game all season, I don't think I would shut them down very often. Still, I felt pretty bad because I did not pitch as well as I know I can. Whatever the excuses, when you come in for a save in a semi-final game, it hurts if you blow it.
Did go 2-3 at the plate with 2 solid singles and a smash to 3rd that the 3B made a great play on. Overall, my hitting greatly improved this season. Not sure what to attest it to but I am pleased. Don't keep stats during the year but our skipper sends them out after the season. Will be interesting to compare my numbers to last year.
Looking for a fall league and will be playing pick-up games on Saturdays until the rain starts.
