Friday Notes

We’ll see the Freunds tomorrow at the ballet recital. The kids will probably pick where the in-laws take us to eat, which probably means O’Charleys, up Sandy Plains. Friday dinner was at Zaxby's. At least that beats Chili’s on Upper Roswell.

Going to see Da Vinci this weekend?

My friend Matthew’s coach is obsessing going into the playoffs. With a bye tomorrow, they go 9 days off before the tourney game on Tuesday. He had the weak hitters come for individual instruction early this week, then had a practice yesterday, tomorrow, a pickup practice Sunday, a dress rehearsal Monday in uniform, and the game Tuesday. His fear is that these young guys are easier to fall out of practice than older boys. You can even tell which boys arrive late and don’t have time to warm up…they don’t hit as well. He is a good teacher of how to hit.

Since Will had a game Tuesday, Matthew took BP after a weaker hitter. The coach said he’s not worried about Matthew. He did strike out once or twice in the last part of the season, particularly when the two strike pitch was in the dirt, and Matthew didn’t realize he didn’t have to swing. Since then we’ve talked about that.

The lineup is strong top to bottom…Diaz is doing so well he’ll replace Langerhans…even making the nice defensive play.

Ceil is going to see the play Wicked Sunday night, so the rest of us will go to the movies.
