| July 22 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | They sent us the stats on our performance at SPA last weekend and I was shocked. I thought we hit 5 home runs and the heat must have got to me. We actually hit 9 and I was mistaken. I'm sorry. 9 home runs by the number one team in the tournament in 5 games with gaudy balls and bats is not very gaudy and I'll tell you something else. Only one hot ball came anywhere near me or our other pitcher the whole time. You know why? SPA had equalizer home runs at 7 and then singles. All the powerful guys that would normally torch the middle when boxed didn't have to and I know this contributed hugely to the protection of the pitchers. As has been argued before we have many ways of protecting our own and don't have to change/dumb down the equipment and slow down the whole game to do it. |
