It's Just a Wiffle Ball

Well, it's been more than a month, maybe there should be a TWIW blog entry today.  Anything good to write up?

One of the most intriguing aspects of today's game was the use of the "Hand Operated Scoreboard." To wit:

This form of run tallying provides a great deal more information than the traditional method as it breaks the game up into its constituent innings.  As you can see there was a furious comeback attempt by the home-boys that fell tantalizingly short. But still there is so much information not conveyed here.  Fortunately, we have a blog for that.

See that run in the top of the first?  Da Commish surrendered that run, after Krash Mosser dropped an easy fly ball in the outfield.  In a fully scored game that would be an UNEARNED run. It would prove the losing run.

See that run in the top of the second? Krash Mosser allowed that run.  I can't remember if that was the Artist's dinger or if the Artist hit his dinger off Kurt in the fourth, but anyway you get the gist.

See those two runs in the bottom of the sixth? Those were allowed by Glen, as he recorded a very shaky save.  He loaded the bases and then gave up those two runs and the bases were loaded again and then he struck out... Kurt, I think... ? To end the game.

It was a rough day for Kurt on the asphalt; be sure to ask him about it next time you see him in the produce section at DLM. And it seems that Stats gets a lot more mouthy without a clipboard and scoresheet in his hand.

So that final column:

those are the run totals for the day. Pretty low scoring affair but a great deal of fun, despite the best efforts of E.D. Smith teachers to ruin our play with their faux retro "cars".

Glen, Matt, Hansoo - 3
Kurt, Peter - 2

W - Lindsay
L - Berwald
S - Cebulash

HR - Glen
