The Tag Up Game

Goodness!! Is this really the first blog post since my day as Commissioner?? Time to get off my duff.

Today was an ideal game to break in a rookie. Everyone, meet Dewey Darden. 

Dewey, everyone.

Today's action featured 7 wifflers, a lot of hits, some good pitching, and a lot chatter from the rookie. A LOT.

Everyone drove in at least 1 run, and everyone got some hits. But MOST MOST significantly, the TAG UP RULE WAS USED!!!!!

TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First by Andy "Gamer" Evans who called his own tag up from the batters box for the third of his 4 rbi.

Second by Peter "Warming up to it" Berwald who had the TAG called for him by Matt "Heads Up" Lindsay.

So once for each team, and these guys saved an AB and each got an RBI.

But speaking of Matt... let me tell you why Andy won't be sending Matt a birthday card this Yom Kippur.

Andy hit a homer today - an impressive screaming liner over Dewey's head. He also hit a majestic, soaring shot to straightaway center field that carried seemingly forever. It was in the air so long, that Matt had time to run under it and catch it one handed, on a dead run, back to the plate. Think Willy Mays. Think Renaldo Nehemiah. Seriously. It was stupefying. He was no more than 15 feet from the gate.

It was the greatest catch in Wiffle history. And it came on the same day as the greatest wiffle picture ever. Wow.

Adrian, Andy, Hansoo -6
Dewey, JD, Matt, Peter -8
