Those Guys Again...

One Bad Inning had another close visit from sleepy ol' Split City, to no avail... Those Guys were able to hand us another sweep, winning the games by counts of 21-9 and 12-9...

OBI was extremely consistent in everything except starting lineup and the batting order. Had late afternoon add ons, folks running late, and people hitting out of order. But that all worked out as Brent hit 3rd and Brian T. in the clean up spot where he was good for two Big Flies on the evening.

The consistency portion of the effort:

9 - Runs scored in each game
18 & 19 - Hits in each game
36 & 37 - At Bats in each game
21 & 12 - Runs Given up in each game

Extraordinary Efforts on the night:

Brian T. with his two HRs including a 3-run shot in the bottom of game 1's first inning. This gave us a 4-1 lead which was our only lead that lasted to another innning... Just Sayin'

Clint had hits in his first 6 ABs and was 6-7 for the night...

Fill-In Juan had 5 hits but did not wear pajama bottoms...

Pretty much everyone else had 3 hits and scored a couple runs ,,, yeah!

Michael had a triple in game 1 while both Clint and Juan doubled in Game 2. That does it for any / all extra base hit talk.

Consistent yet Cray Cray,,, Sad yet Demented ...

We may be short a player or two this week but should bounce back next week and have a good 14 in the lineup. Just feels like that sort of season... ;~) Play Ball !!!

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly ...

This past Thursday, One Bad Inning lost two to KG/AB (aka The Heights). Split City made a brief showing in Game 2, but left faster than Matt after game 1 due to a sore hand (aka he is lonely)...

Great, two sentences in and I am already spewing negativity in the form of masturbation jokes. Oh, prolly should not have explained that one. Ummm, may standard out comes next,,, but I digress...

This weeks movie review is a 1966 Italian epic Spaghetti Western story played out across the confines of Field 2 at Victory Lane Sports Park. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly film is seen as a highly influential example of the Western film genre and one of the greatest films of all time.

The games played on Field 2,, meh,,, not so much...

The Good = 32 Runs Scored in 10 Innings.
The Bad = 51 Runs Allowed in 9 Defensive Innings.
The Ugly = Giving our opponent 4,5,6 outs during a few innings, conservatively speaking... 

Our offense continues to be a work in progress in the upper divisional play. Our Defense is typically one that keeps us in games... Needless to say, improving our "D" will go a long way to ensuring we play more like Split City over time.

Game 1 was all about our first inning offensively as we sent 12 men to the plate scoring 6 runs.

Game 2 was much more competitive as we were tied at 9 after 2 innings and jumped ahead by 8 going into the bottom of the 4th inning. The second inning explosion included 3-run Home Runs from both J.R. and John...

Brothers John and Brian Bartinelli had 7 hits in the contest and were 12-14 for the night. J.R. had 6 RBIs in his 3 Game 2 At Bats... Jayse had 2 Triples,,, and Tom & Michael each had 3 hits...

Everyone contributed in both games and as we continue to do the same,,, Split City will come back and eventually be kicked to the curb by Let's Take Two ...

Okay, a lame Sweep reference but hey, at least you have a blog entry to read. Oooouuuuuttttt !!!
