Another great turnout for practice last night. It's almost too bad that we only have 90 minutes to practice, and we have so much to do! Last night we set up a few hitting drill stations, and for the most part got through them with some good efforts. I'd like to thank Coaches Hall, Smokey and Desi for getting things done. It's a credit to each of them that we continue to develop at the rate we do.
The baserunning drills are important, and we'll do more of that in the coming weeks. There's a lot to consider when running the bases, and with the noise levels high and the concentration levels not at their best, it will take some work to make the most out of our hitters. It is still a HUGE issue. Even after demonstrations by Adam, we had runners not touching first base, while running through. Our runners need to do 2 things on the way to first, RUN FAST and hit the bag. If they do those two things well, we can move on to getting them to listen to the coaches. We can't turn singles into doubles if we don't get singles done properly!
No defense practice last night. We have worked a lot on defense the past few weeks, and we needed to work on the hitting. We may rotate our practices to coincide with our being inside or outside the diamond. We'll see.
Last but not least... we have exciting BABY NEWS!!!!! Sean and Laura Lee, Thomas' parents, are pleased as punch to welcome 9lb 8oz Larson Paul Lee to the family as of yesterday!!! As soon as I have a pic... I'll post it up on the blog! It is never too soon to start recruiting future D-backs!!! I'm sending them some flowers today on behalf of the team!
See you all on Saturday!
