Loan Wolves versus Fat Cats July 2nd Finsbury Park

Low Point: Missing a tag out at 4th (Home) base. Think I dropped it

High Point: Getting an out at 3rd


Lessons Learned: Keep running as fast as possible to 1st - the umpire told me I might have made it on one occasion if I hadnt slowed up. Also put on my insect repellent - dont forget!!!

High point; left field catch, two home runs

Low point; flat home run hit over me, telling Nisha to run to 2 when she got tagged - I thought it was a risk worth taking though. Also almost fluffing the out at 2 to get a double play - I'm sure I never touched 2 but the runner/umpire both assumed I had. Stroke of luck there.

Low Point: Giving away a couple of walks early on and letting them get a taste for it. With that umpire and Cats who won't swing I was on a losing streak.

High Point: Getting a strike out.

Low Point: Rather a lot of these. Let's just move on shall we?

High Point: Finally stopping an awkwardish ball, realising the runner was almost at first and diving onto the bag.

Lessons Learned: Spend a while practicing my position before the game.

Low Point - Being 2nd batter up and failing to get on base. My usual ice cool stance at the plate failed me.

High Point - finally scoring a run after holding my nerve, getting the walk and a bit of nifty (though it could have been niftier) running. The run drought is over.

Lessons Learnt - If Blasey or Kevin come running at second with ball in hand, get the heck out of the way and avoid comedy collisions and ball mis-handling.

Low point: having to confirm the score for FCs' sixth inning with their scorer.
High point: seeing all the Wolves close in aggressively for the last out in their seventh inning.
Lesson learned: bring my hat, and the mosquito-repellent batspray, next time.

You werent any worse than the rest of us Matt. Well tried!

Blasey said...

MOMENT OF THE MATCH:
Kevin's catch over his shoulder, running backward (even though he had been told before to field further back)
2nd - Julian allegedly running down the guy hoping to get to third, but basically just holding the ball high and staring him down.

Blasey said...

High point:
Two home runs

Low point:
The horrendous throw to Kate at first that gave her no chance at all

Lessons learned:
Being able make the decision to take a pitcher off when they are tired or oppostion are taking walks. Also, the ability to accept yet ignore people's opinion on field placement when the facts give a different point of view.
