the best thing about playing for the snorts is the weekly recap from the skip:
Snorts,
I was asked last night before the game to say a few words to pump the boys
up... I declined. I declined because we have a special group here, guys
that are really motivated to win and play well for their teammates. For
example, I received a text message from Dave Anderson last night, who is out
of town on business, asking how the Snorts did. There's a guy who lives for
this stuff.
Now, down to the recap. What a sweet performance all the way around last
night in a 16-5 victory. Let me start by saying that we just defeated the
undefeated first place team. It feels good. And we did it with only 9 guys
for 3 innings. At one point I heard their bench say, "dude, they've only
got three guys in the outfield, come on!" There was plenty of offense
again, which was quite an accomplishment considering that guy was probably
the best pitcher we've faced. Tommy 29 hit what was probably the first
legitimate no doubter HR of the year with a towering bomb to left. Earlier
Tyler had his stick going with a line shot that got through the outfield for
a homerun. Tyler and Phil were big difference makers last night with 4 RBIs
apiece. I just have to also mention that our leadoff hitter, Glow, went 1-1
last night with 3 walks... talk about a table setter.
What can you say about the D? There were no glaring mistakes and again I
heard the opposing bench talking about the arms in the outfield. No one
wants to take an extra base from the Snorts patrolling the grass. Plays of
the game would definitely have to include a beautiful backhanded, leaping
stab by Glowacki at short to rob the opposition of a sure double... sweet
grab! There was also a textbook relay home on a jack to left. The relay
came in perfectly with Justin blocking the plate like and All Star and
applying a sweeping tag to deny Chicago Trading a 3 run homer.
Thanks again to Justin for helping out and being a rock behind the dish last
night as well as adding some offense. Great work team, the stats look sick
they're so good. Check them out and let me know if there are any mistakes.
Game next week is at 7:30pm so let me know if you can't make it.
