The Softball Gods Giveth and the Softball Gods Taketh Away ...

With our double header split this past Thursday, it is readily apparent that One Bad Inning and We All Paid are both generous, to a fault. We All Paid lost game 1 by a score of 1-14,,, and then OBI lost game 2 in another run rule, 3-13.

Of the 31 total runs scored by both teams, an estimated 20 to 2 dozen of the runs were unearned. Both Larry and David pitched well, Spillane was running crazy out in left center, and it took Matt a game and a half to get a ball out in left field. Juan snapped a ball to Michael for a force out at second base (after forgetting his fork he usually used to catch the ball), unfortunately, Larry needs a haircut and the Light Blue couldn't see the ball beat the runner to the bag...

In Game One we saw a few sparkling offensive moments, including Juan's line drive to deep left for a triple. He then had to run first to home in his next at bat. I was tired just watching him. The following inning, Juan was at the tail end of a 6-3-2 as he tagged out a would be run at the plate to end the inning. We All Paid was very generous defensively, giving up about 10 unearned runs...

Game Two was OBI's turn at extreme generosity. Dropped, kicked, and generally poorly thrown balls were on full display as a low scoring close game early became a bottom of the sixth inning 13-3...

No stats this week cuz there were just too many We All Paid issues that made us look decent. My favorite was Matt's one-hopper to the pitcher turned Double as the pitcher was unable to accurately overcome the ~45 foot of bare, infield flat lands with a toss to the WAP 1st Baseman.
