Wow. That was a lot of baseball the past five days. Some exciting (yesterday and Wednesday), some tortuous (Saturday’s game) and some learning (all the above and Friday’s practice dedicated to hitting, which showed yesterday) I’m very proud of all the kids this year. They are ALL improving and have been real fun to coach. Believe it or not, they actually listen for the most part and that is a big reason for them improving.

All in all, I think it was a successful past few days. Our practices up to now really focused on baseball skills, which I have seen great improvement from everyone. We are the youngest team in the league and with that, we need to work now on baseball IQ and game situations. (i.e. getting the ball back to pitcher quicker and not making extra throws). If we made the right throws yesterday and made a couple smarter decisions, there likely would have been a different outcome.

That being said, we have practice scheduled for Friday and we wil work more on baseball situations that day. We will try and do the New Brunswick field again and use Dunham Lebed as a backup. There is a game scheduled for Wednesday, but in all likelihood that will be washed out.

Hope everyone has a great week and see you soon…this time with banner! (sorry Mrs. Burroughs!)
