Plane landed around 7:15…got home around 8:30 Friday night. Ceil had taken the kids to see Nancy Drew…they didn’t get home until 9:30.
Saturday I took the kids grocery shopping while Ceil was cleaning/organizing. Will played at 5 pm and lost to a good team…he made several good plays at short.
Sunday Will and Anna cooked me breakfast, then Will had an 8:30 am game. He had thrown a bunch of pitches Thursday night, so he wasn’t on the top of his game Sunday. It was another good team, but the Titans scored three in the top of the first…Will singled and scored the first run. Then Will hit a batter and walked one, and gave up three runs. Then Will doubled and the Titans scored two, but Will hit the same guy and gave up two. He was finished after 4 innings with the score tied 5 – 5, and then they lost 8 – 5 after six. They don’t have any outfielders who’ll go get the ball…this cost them the game, thought the other team did hit well.
Will & I got home from the game before Ceil got home from church. She cooked tenderloin, then we didn’t do much…watched the US Open and Braves. Ceil took them swimming, then I played ball with them in the yard.
Anna and Matthew started Johnson Ferry Vacation Bible School Monday morning, with friends…they weren’t asked until after I had left for work that morning.
Will started a baseball camp with Matthew’s coach’s (Tim) two sons, the instructors are pretty good. Tim called me twice this morning with updates…last night I had told Tim things Will needed to work on…he’s been lunging at the ball and hitting popups, dropping his back shoulder, and not keeping his weight back. I’ve been working with him, and these coaches identified the same things this morning. Will only has one more weekend of games, but hopefully it’ll stick with him.
Wednesday Will is going to the Braves / Red Sox game with some teammates. They don’t have the best attitude, so we’re not wild about the idea. Nice pitching matchups today and tomorrow, but Wednesday it’s the number 5 starters.
Will’s been wanting to take a bunch of friends to a game with BRAVES painted on their chests, for his birthday. We may do that next week against the Nats. Interesting blog by DOB, concerning his cab ride with Hudson.
You’d think Bradley could come up with something else to talk about…luckily I missed the ESPN guys talking about it. Braves fans have their pick of 81 games to attend, while any Boston fan living in the Southeast knows for months in advance the three games they’re interested in. Thanks to the old Superstation days there are plenty of Braves fans wherever the Braves go. Sunday night it’ll be different with the Tigers in town. I thought about going, but the 8 pm start and all the commercials will keep me away, and I’m probably not alone.
That lefty sidewinder Boston brought in had good stuff…tough to bunt off him, so I forgive Woodward for bunting into a force at second. Rowland’s Office had earlier complained about the lack of execution/fundamentals, but that could be said for many teams. Thought the ESPN crew just looked at Poronto’s stats and started butchering him unfairly. You don’t bring in you best relievers when you have a huge lead or you’ll wear them out. Then the crew turned it around and was right saying Cox wanted McBride to finish the game so the aces could stay rested.
