Well, that wasn't so hot

Not a real good effort by the Brew Crew. But credit to the Braves, Taylor Hill pitched a great game, and the Braves made some good defensive plays. As for us, Cody laid down a nice bunt, but they fielded it just right, and barely got him out. Zach also put the ball in play, and just got nipped. I did like that those guys hustled down the line when we put the ball in play. On the defensive side, Jerald made a nice play at first base in foul territory.

As for what to work on....we need to improve on the defensive side. The Braves only hit 3 balls in the outfield all night. 3. A team shouldn't score 8 runs on 3 balls to the outfield. As for batting, we bailed a little too much, and lost some aggressiveness at the bat. I was satisfied with Grant's pitching effort, I think only 2 or 3 of the runs were earned, but when some walks and hit batters got mixed with some errors, the Brew Crew got in trouble.

But that was a good team. Apparently the Hawaiian shirts didn't help. So on Monday, back to the uniforms. I like our chances against the Yankees if we can get the outs when presented to us, and if we step at the pitcher and keep the bats level when swinging.

If the weather is dry, practice on Sunday from 1 to 2:30 at RMS!
