Another good game, and slowly but surely we are separating ourselves from the rest of the pack. It will be important to not let up over the coming weeks, we have done a lot of good things, small thin and Tristags, right the past few weeks and we will continue to beat the same drum. I know a lot of the younger ones are anxious to play on the infield, and theey will get their chances. I may even do more the coming weeks if we can build up comfortable leads on our opponents. We have yet to have a breakout offensive game, and I am not about to sacrifice what we've worked on this far to appeal to the young and hungry. At some point I will look to increase their playing time on the bases, but only to look forward to next year when we lose our senior guys.
We are getting some consistency in our hitting. I like what I see out of Riley, Rachel, Taj and Tristan. Sherwin seems to be swinging very well and just not making contact. Aidan is working hard too and got a good hit yesterday. I'm sure that more will come from those two. Syriah and Taylor will get more batting practice in the future. It will be important for their development and enjoyment if they begin to do these things well.
Our seniors are doing very well. William is beginning to find his stroke, Bryce had a huge 2 rbi double in the second inning, and Adam is easily the best player the rookie league has seen in many years. His playing is at a different level from anyone else, and we have not seen the best from him yet!!! T homas will get more reps at pitcher this week, we're playing the Mets and I want to be able to use both him and Mateo in that role as needed. I want Thomas, Liam and Mateo to move away from the big bats. They are not making consistent contact, and I think that they are just not physically ready for them. We'll discuss it at practice. Practice is on the outside pitch this week, so we'll be working primarily on defense.
See you all at practice on Thursday at 6:00 p.m.
