Whole Bunch of What If's

Late in the game today, The Artist certified the contest as qualifying for the "Greatest Comeback in Wiffle History" moniker, should the visitors be able to produce such a comeback, against Dave (R-OH)'s pitching.

They didn't. It wasn't.

Very early in the game, second at-bat of the game, actually, Stats very nearly put two different foul balls through the hoop. Nearly a Grand Slam.

He didn't. It wasn't.

A little later, The Artist, with the bases loaded, hit a long fly ball more or less right at Stats patrolling center field. It came down past the homer line. If Stats catches it, it's an out.

He didn't. It was a Grand Slam.

In the course of a game these feel like key moments. Four runs you almost got, four more you gave away. But in this game, that potential What IF eight-run-swing?

Wouldn't have been enough.

Jeremy, Matt, Peter - 5
Glen, Dave - 15

W: Cebulash
L: Lindsay

HR - Cebulash, Berwald


Notes:

  • Matt didn't bring a scoresheet, which in retrospect may seem to be intentional. He gave up five in the first.
  • Jeremy seems to be figuring this game out, compiling a nice string of hits today, and was the only Visitor pitcher not to surrender any runs.

  1. stats has proposed that perhaps the era of the "stats" has ended. i think this is a big mistake. the "stats" are stats' signature contribution to the proper development of the league. this would be like mlb going back to the dead ball. i vote stats now, stats forever!
