Games 4 and 5 Sunday.

Started the first game of the doubleheader. 5IP 4 H 6R 3ER 2BB 1K
Labored in the first couple innings but settled in pretty well. Tough defense again but that is getting to be a tired refrain. Didn't help myself with a couple bad throws trying to hold runners at first. Also did something I never have before: went into the wind-up position with a runner on 2B. Tried to correct and balked. LOL. That is what happens when you go to a party 3 hours away, wake up at 6AM and drive to a baseball game.

We lost 8-7. 0-2 at the plate with a walk a K and an F8. K'ed on ball four which keeps happening. How can I have good discipline until its 3-2? Need to work on that.

Won game 2 easily 11-1. Played RF and got no action as our pitcher threw a 2H. I didn't mind since I was dead tired and my arm needed the rest. 1-2 at the plate with a rope 1B and a BB, 1RBI 1R. Nice to get a win finally.

Played today despite my back. Went 2-for-4 with the go ahead 2 RBI double that I absolutely crushed. Splashed it against the fence; if it had 2 degrees more loft, it would have sailed out of there.

Should be 90-95% by this weekend, I hope.

Nice work.

That's an awesome pic viper.

4-for-4, all singles. Led off three ABs so I was looking to just get on base for those. Stole four bases too!

Started and pitched ok. 5 IP, 6 K, 2 BB. Tough to tell how many earned runs - 9 crossed the plate but there were at least six errors behind me. I'd say 4 ER is fair. Had a good fastball, bad slider, no change working today. There was a triple play behind me though, which was pretty amazing. Second I've seen in a game I've played in.

Back is almost 100%.

3-3 w 1B, 2B and 3B. And a walk. 3 RBI. 3B one bounced the wall in LC. Wood bat. Finally had a good day at the plate. Felt great.

Started and pitched pretty well. 4IP 4H, 2K 0BB 3R 1ER. Left after 4 when we were up 9. The other team was pretty dreadful but still, a good outing. One 3 ball count all day. Game was called after 5 when we were up 14-3. The other team played 2 games, one at 11AM and ours at 5PM at fields about 20 miles apart. LOL Rec baseball scheduling.

Kyle, nice day. Glad the back is healing well.

I finally got the start last night on the mound. First play is an easy two hopper to SS who throws to first where our fat ass 1B drops it. I walk the next guy (sign of things to come). We get a FC on the next play. Next guy hits a pop up that barely makes it past the dirt behind second base. Our 2B never moves. CF dives but can't quite get it. So I should be out of the inning. Then I walk the next 3 guys, throwing 12 out of 13 pitches for balls. I throw a WP to the next guy and then I take myself out of the game. Never had a performance so embarrassing. I had no idea where the ball was going. Mechanics were awful and I had no idea how to fix it. Add to it that we were the 2nd game of the night on the field and I kept landing right on the edge of the big hole that the pitchers had made from the first game. I seem to have that problem all of the time and am not exactly sure what to do with it. I guess I should just dig it all out, but that may take me five minutes. Anyway, thought I'd share my awful performance.

you were just trying to get on base w singles because you were the leadoff hitter? pfftttt....that doesn't sound like the statement a SABR would make.

kyleb · 07-01-2011, 03:07 AM

OBP, son! Two ABs were with two strikes. Gotta drive my average pitches per PA up.

The pitchers in my league generally have decent control. The majority of the #1's are ex-college pitchers and almost everyone was a good HS player or worked hard after HS to play a decent level of ball.

Your Mom · 07-07-2011, 01:09 AM

I have the yips on the mound. It is awful.

KJS · 07-10-2011, 11:52 PM

First bad outing pitching today. Came in without a bullpen and could not throw strikes. 5BB and a HBP. Had no rhthym at all. Tried to grind it out but made way for someone better pretty quick. Luckily we had a big lead and won easily.

HBP, BB, FC 3R at the plate. FC was a check swing roller that went about 10 feet.

Your Mom · 07-11-2011, 03:36 AM

know the feeling KJS. Had a game today, went 1 for 2 with a flyout and a double to the fence in left. stole 3rd, score our only run on a SF. lost 13-1, we are terrible.

Also sick of a baseball team I'm on. Guys who are way worse than me are batting ahead of me because they had a good performance in a 16-4 rout against a team that is a huge joke. (I missed that game.) Batting ninth (lol) today. Went 2-for-3 with two line drive singles while the rest of the team struggled. Pitched, struck out two, walked two, intentionally put a ball in some guy's ribs because they were stealing third base up 8+ runs in the ninth inning.
