I know I shouldn't single out anyone for the debacle last night.
The facts are that we had a 7-1 lead early thanks to batting around in the second, and then JFT stopped hitting, and Pinky's chipped away until it was 7-5 and then erupted for a 17 run fifth inning rally to clean us out. Final score 22-7.
But I wanted to single out one player. Timmy was the designated platoon man for Joe last night, and he begged and even demanded that Joe not play him, so Joe would stay in the game. I just thought that was a singular act of unselfishness, and he deserves our greatest respect for putting the team first. So he is my vote for MVP.
We will never know what would have happened had Joe stayed in the game. They just caught fire and they are a very good to great team.
It's softball. We ensured (almost definitely) that they will be our first opponent in the playoffs. Same thing may happen again. Or we may rise up and they won't know what hit them. If we hit like we did in the second inning last night, we can beat anyone. Look at what we did against Advance Construction - we crushed them and they haven't lost another game. You just never know and that's why we love the game.
No one stood out hitting wise. All that needs to be said is of our last eleven batters we had one hit and one walk. You can't win that way in this game.
So we will eat their dust and come back and get on a roll for the playoffs. That's all there is to do.
