You are killing
me, Mo. Please make good on your promise to come
back for our next game. I am running out of "No
'Mo'" headlines to describe how well we are
playing in your absence.
Once again, Black
Sox: Nice work. This is our third "run-rule"
win in the past four games where we only got to
bat 6 times. We have now scored 22, 20, 16, and
20 runs in the last four games and the last two
have been against pretty good pitching.
Highlights
- Pitching -
Bob was excellent for the first three innings,
working out of a bases loaded jam in the second
and leaving the game with a 15-0 lead. Bob was
also 1/2 at the plate and is hitting the ball
with authority.
- Defense
- we only had one error on a day where a lot
of guys played different positions.
- Hitting
- For a fourth straight game, our hitting was
exceptional. We strung together 17 hits and
9 free passes (walks + HBP) against some of
the better pitching we've faced. Every Black
Sox except Mike Gross got a base hit today.
Just kidding Mike, every Black
Sox got at least one hit today, including Lance
who went 1/1 with a broken back.
- Individual
Hitting Highlights:
- Nestor-
reached base 4/5 with 3 hits and 1 BB.
- Jonathan -
was money again, reaching base all 4 times
- 1/1 with 3 HBP - our first ever "hat
trick" in that department. Way to get
that "monkey" off your back Jonathan.
The team record for HBPs appears to be a
"lock" at this early juncture.
- Steve P - On
base 4/5 with another in-the-park round
trip. Steve also threw out a batter from
right field.
- Jim Wetzel -
reached base 3/5 for a second consecutive
week.
- Phil-
3/5.
- Rey -
hit 2/3 and reached base 3/4. Rey also did
a really nice job in his first work at first
base.
- My apologies
if I left anyone out. It was a
TOTAL team. effort and you guys were AWESOME
for a third straight week.
Lowlights
I can no longer brag
about being the only Black Sox not to strikeout
this season after getting beat by the Bombers
starter in the first inning. No excuses,
the guy threw me a couple of great breaking
balls. In all though, we only
struck out four times.
It bears repeating:
If we can continue hitting like this, no-one
in this league is going to be able to run with
us. No-one. It is pretty hard
to beat 20-runs a game. I am glad I don't have
to game-plan against this lineup.
Looking Forward
Next week we are off for Easter.
The following week we play SDEC, who have rebounded
from a slow start to get a big win over the
Orioles today. I'll send out game info later.
