I was really happy with the effort today. Good time had by all, saw lots of smiles, and lots of doing the right thing. Our pitchers did a pretty good job of throwing strikes (though the defense sometimes struggled in backing them up). I think everybody got on base, and all but 2 scored at least one run, so a very good team effort.
Our pitchers struck out 11 and walked 6, which is a ratio I can live with. Though I would have liked a few more defensive outs, and not make the pitchers get so many outs through strikeout.
I liked how the team was really supporting each other, and we had some good chatter out there in the field. Here are the main things I think we still need to work on: 1. Someone taking charge, and making the play on pop ups. 2. Making a defensive play, and then knowing what to do with the ball as soon as it is cleanly handled (so not rushing the play). 3. Knowing when and where to back up plays All of these come with practice.
So speaking of practice, no practice on Easter. Monday is moved to 6:30 at RMS (we need to share the field that day. Practice will go til dark--about 7:45 or 7:50 I imagine.
Next weekend 3 games in 4 days. Please let me know if you son is going to miss a game. That really takes a toll on the pitching, so I would like to know if I have to work around a missing pitcher.
Happy Easter.
