Failure To Launch ... OBI drops to 0-5 in 2013 Season Tourney Play

I told Nuta to text me his desired blog post title, but he was more buzzed than I was after last night's festivities. Thus,, Failure To Launch seemed more than appropriate when OBI goes off for only 7 runs in our first tourney game...

Defense was a bright spot last night ... From Ryan's running catch to end the Audi threat in the first inning of Game 1 thru Spillane's 5-6 hole double-clutch cannon shot across the infield to get the batter-runner,,, there were many shining moments. That good news fades away when you take KC's pre-game comments into account, "I don't care where I play in the field, I get paid to hit"... (something like that anyways lol)

So, with that said... May I present a few interesting mid-2013 tidbits,,,

100th Double in 2013 -- Chris Spillane raked it during OBI's 10 Run 3rd Inning in Week 6's loss to Aero FCU Skeleton Crew 18-17...

1,000th OBI Player On Base in 2013 -- Michael Lee's 2 out Single during the 4th inning of last night's Game 2.

First to 100 Times On Base in 2013 -- Interestingly,, Michael Lee,,, same At Bat as above note...

17% of team accounts for 56% of the Base on Balls for OBI thus far in 2013 -- Yes, 35 of the 63 Walks have been taken by the top 2 walkers, Steve Sevec (15) and Michael Lee (20) ...

Looking Ahead at Upcoming Milestones:

1,000th OBI Hit in 2013 -- Should happen in Week 2 of Season 4 as we are currently at 945 ...

First to 100 Hits in 2013 -- KC (87) and Spillane (84) are battling to be the first to 100 ...


Again, Great Season 3 !!! We played well and welcomed back both DC and Juan ... Let's keep up the good work and build on our play during the second half of 2013...
