Weekly Recap...sort of.

For those of you who were lucky enough not to be there, here is the short version of how the game went this week.  It was 6-6 after 2, we were leading 8-6 after 4, then our defense got real sloppy and they scored 19 runs in the last 3 innings.  It was extremly windy and that didn't help, but its not like the wind stopped blowing for them... we just sucked on tuesday.  Plain and simple.
Final Score: 9-25

Moving on...
So far this season we are averaging 14.3 runs per game, which is actually higher than last summer.  Our bats have been ok. The big problem is our D.  We are giving up 13.3 runs per game, and that is over 5 runs  higher than last year.  Furthermore, in our 4 losses we are giving up a staggering 20.5 runs per game.  20.5! It seems pretty clear that we need to improve the D for us to start winning.  We have always had one of the top defenses in the league (last summer we allowed 7.9 all season), so there is no reason we can't turn it around.  Lastly, every time we played solid defense we have won.... giving up only 25 runs in those 4 games combined... (6.3 average).  Bottom line, lets start playing defense every game, let's run off some wins, secure the #2 seed... then copyright PA, let's play.

Right now we are at the part of the movie when Ricky can't see,  next week let's be at the part when he starts wearing glasses.
