Team,
It appears that we’ll have the entire team at today’s game which is GREAT! The coaches will get to WTP (Water Tower Park) around 3:30pm with pre-game warm-ups starting shortly thereafter. Game time is scheduled for 4:30pm with the Braves batting first as we are the visitors which means we’ll have the 3rd base-side dugout.
We’ve completed half of our season and we’re off to great start … 1st place with a 7-1 record. Everyone is doing a great at the plate. The team has scored 102 runs in eight games and only given-up 40 runs. We are batting .483 as a team. Our aggressiveness at the plate has showed ... we’ve only been “called out” (not swinging) on strikes 21 times over 279 plate appearances which equates to approximately 7% of the time … that’s AWESOME. We have a team “on base percentage” of .552 … we get on base over 50% of the time! While I don’t have the numbers on this one, I recall a lot of “two strike hits” which is another stat that shows maturity at the plate. Rick Rojahn does an incredible job of recording our team stats which allows me to share this with you. If you’d like more on an individual player see Rick … he has those as well. We are fun team to watch. J
We start the second half of our season this afternoon. I will remind the players not to take things for granted and to keep working hard and stay focused. If you recall, we started out last season 7-1 as well and I believe finished 9-7 winning only two or our last eight games. I expect our team to respond with the same focus and humility shown thus far. We are looking forward to great second half of the season. I hope to see all of you at the game today.
If you have any questions or comments please see Rick or I.
Ross
