PRACTICE TOMORROW 5/28@ OTHS

6PM. BE THERE!!

Hello Team,

Let me start off by apologizing to everyone who has tried and could not contact me. My phone is broken and I wont have it until Wednesday. In the meanwhile you will see me at the game today and you can always email me at trezhannah@yahoo.com. Last game was tough but this game is going to be even tougher, trust me. We have to be ready and focus key things this game.

1.) Baserunning- The team we play tonight do alot of hitting. We can keep up by having runners in scoring position most of the game. We will have a first base coach and a third base coach to help you make a sound but aggressive decision on when to advance. Advancing from first base to third base is going to define this game for us.

2.) Exit Jonesy- Unfortunately we are going to be losing a key at bat in our lineup as Jonesy will not be with the team after 6/5. Jonesy we appreciate your efforts pitching and hitting. Have fun this summer and the best of wishes

3.) Enter Ben- Welcome to the team our newest player Ben Fieker. We are always making adjustments to our lineup at this point in the season and Ben is going to help out alot. Look around our team we have new pieces waiting to produce and be a game changer.

4.) Tonights Game- Tonight game could be our first victory of the year and that gets me pumped! It begins at 750 but get there and 630. If there is another field available we are going to try and get some practice in before.

Tonights Lineup

1.) Ford 2B

2.) Murphy LF

3.) Martie RC

4.) Hill SS

5.) Hannah 3B

6.) Jones 1B

7.) Davenport P

8.) Perez LC

9.) Fieker RF

10.)Todd C

*Making this lineup was not easy but Im very confident this will give us the best chance to have runners in scoring position. If you dont like where you are in the lineup make the most out of this game because its only by the numbers.

Another Loss totals 0-6 record for Rivals

Hey guys!

First off great effort last game, dont be disappointed. I am very proud of our team and good things are soon to come!!! Great job JR going 3-4 and a double. Great job Mike Perez in his first game playind defense in Right Center for the Rivals. Welcome to the team!

Another tough loss but yet the silver lining is an overall better result on the field. Believe it or not we are STILL GETTING BETTER EVERY WEEK! This past game we only had 2 errors recorded. That is a huge difference, lets build on that defense. Next game..NO ERRORS!

Wheres Your O-Face?

Our next opponet (Glory Daze)can swing the bat so Offense is a focal point. Expect a different lineup to jump start our team. We are nearing the half way point of the season and in attempts to make a final strive to start up this team we are going to adjust somethings so we have a better chance.

GAME TIME

Lastly, Im sorry I could not make to our last game but I was called into work for a douche bag of a co worker. From what I understand we are still arriving way too late to these games. Guys, if we want to win we have to be a team! All of us showing up at 6:40 while the other team is warm and ready gives them a HUGE FUCKING ADVANTAGE. Bottom line we cant lose games because of this. The first inning we gave up six runs...that is not a coincidence. We played  a good game according to the stat book but we played catch up the entire game. GET TO THE GAME 30MINUTES BEFORE! Lets do everything as a team and pull out some wins while we still have a chance to make some noise.

To sum up team, look at yourself in these games. When you reflect on this 0-6 start, think about what you could of done better not your team mates. Lets continue to lift each other up, this will build chemistry. Im proud of yall effort despite the slow start. GO RIVALS!
