Do we have enough coaches?
And we still have 2 more practice coaches!
Splash! Splash! Splash! Baseball players running across the wet and muddy field. We played our second game against Hopkinton in the rain. We were the away team so that means we batted first. But Matthew, Greg, Jack, Nolan and I didn't because Hopkinton made 3 outs before we were up and so we had to go out in the field. But Nolan, Tony and I were benched that inning. Meanwhile in the field, Hopkinton had scored 3 runs and then we finally got 3 outs on Hopkinton to end the inning. When the game ended, Hopkinton won 10 - 6. I was disappointed because I thought we would win the whole game. The next team we play is Shrewsbury and they are undefeated. Can we be the first team to beat them?
Jeffrey,
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... 6 coaches??? No wonder you lost the game. Get rid of the 4 coaches on the right and keep the other two (they look the most qualified) and you should have no trouble against those shrews from Shrewsbury!
Don't worry about the losses. Even the amazing Yankees occasionally lose a game. Your job is to get out on the field with your team and play hard and fair. If you do that, you'll have a successful season no matter what the final scores are.
Can't wait to hear about the next game!

Jeffrey,
ReplyDeleteShrewsbury is going to be overly confident that they will win because they are undefeated. Your team just had a loss, wants a win, and wants to ruin Shrewsbury's winning streak . . . so your team is VERY motivated. Use that to your advantage and you will do great!

that had to be exciting to beat the undefeated team. hope your butt is healing. its kind of hard to duck out of the way when the pitch is that low...thanks for calling me sunday .
ReplyDeleteDid you get those white pants clean after that game? We would never improve if we won all the time. I love your writing. I feel as if I am in the stands!

Hey, stop with the coach comments - if you really want to know I even had to "cut" coaches to get the numbers to where they are. I may not be the best looking coach but I am the tallest!
