It's early in the season. Too early to go all cocky.
Yes it's early but Transdyn is 4-0, have beaten the next two teams in the standings convincingly, and have a run differential of +50. Average score 19-6. The next best team, BASBHAT is +22 but they are only 2-2, and haven't played us yet.
The Ringers got unhinged by Sir Guy's pitching. "What kind of spin does he have?" is what I heard from a guy who was on first with a bloop hit, but thought he should have gone yard. Others were all abuzz in the dugout frustrated with his ball placement. Bill toyed with the youngsters - there was hardly a hard hit ball all game. On that side anyway.
On the other hand, even with the new balls, our hitters hit it hard again and again. In the first, Jas and Timmy set the table and after an out, Donny Mac put it over the fence in LF and the game was over at 3-0, even though we didn't know it yet.
We relentlessly attacked the right fielder. Mario had a monster game - the mini-cycle in three at bats (that's a single, double and triple). He was the first to burn the right fielder in the second as we increased the lead to 6-1. Two innings later Jason came up and just salivated over how shallow the guy was playing him. He twisted the ball by him and ran wild to third for his own triple. Then the guy still wouldn't learn - in the sixth as we were about to put them away on the slaughter rule, on of all people Heavy D he plays shallow and watches the ball sail over his head for a double. Heavy D's pinch runner Cage scored the game ender shortly after that.
Jas, Timmy, Hama, and Mario all had three hits, and Coop and Sir Guy stayed hot with two hits and a walk each, as had Heavy D. But the latter also almost killed the pitcher when he speared a laser so he actually made an out to keep him from a perfect game. The guy had a rough night - he was nailed at third base by a line drive off his teammate's bat, and was called out. After his life flashed before his eyes on D's line drive, he disappeared into the dugout for the rest of the game.
In an ironic side note, Timmy had a foul out K. Jas and Timmy at the top of the lineup are now 31 for 35, and two of their four outs are on Ks. Try to get your swings better fellas.
Quest for 5 in a row under way, time to damage BASBHAT's run differential this Tuesday.
