Shox v Golden Lions Game 3

[Rosewood]

Our approach at the plate continues to make me sick.

Re: Working

Ah, the joys of work -- I'm at my office computer checking occasionally on Live Stats, instead of enjoying a beautiful day at the ballpark.

Anyway, Rose, speaking of how bad WSU's hitters are looking, I notice that after the Lion pitcher went 3-2 on the first two hitters he faced back in the 5th, McKeever opened the 6th by swinging at the first pitch he saw. Then, right after Lassley walked, Caster made out on the first pitch to him.

I'm all for swinging at the good ones and taking the bad, which is something Gene laments that this year's hitters don't do very well -- but when a pitcher has gone to at least three balls on three of the first six men he's faced, shouldn't a hitter make him throw at least one strike before whacking away?

Sadly pitch selection has only been one poor aspect of the approach at the plate.

We are down only 4-3, but have been out hit 9 to 5.

Top of the 8th, they get another leadoff guy on.

But we get the force out at 2nd on a bunt.

[Rosewood]

APB has had the leadoff guy on 6 our of 8.

Amazingly enough the only 1-2-3 inning was the 6th.

[Rosewood]

No more damage in the 8th from APB but I really have no confidence in the shox to go and score. 21 runs seems like a very long time ago.

[Rosewood]

OOOOOHHHH!!!!

I CAN RUN THE BASES AFTER THE GAME!

E: What crap, there is an age limit. That is so not fair.

[Rosewood]

Tyler grimes starts out quickly 0-2

and watches the 3rd pitch come in for strike 3.

Seriously, what the heck is wrong with these guys?

[Rosewood]

Ryan Jones was about 1 foot from a home run :(

But went foul

But hey, he gets a one out single.

[Rosewood]

Clinton McKeever up, RJ at first

Steals second

Clinton infield single off the glove of the pitcher. RJ goes to 3rd.

Still 1 out.

[Rosewood]

Chris O steps up to the plate

APB's head coach to the mound.

First pitch is a wild pitch and McKeever goes to second.

And he is getting the intentional walk.

No more damage in the 8th from APB but I really have no confidence in the shox to go and score. 21 runs seems like a very long time ago.

Gee, how about seven?

[Rosewood]

Seven what/

[Rosewood]

Cody to the plate, bases loaded, 1 out, and a new pitcher for APB comes in.

My internal KC Shox says that if we don't score here, we can put this game in the old Deep Freeze (for APB).
