Had a HS playoff game today - home team is a schitzo team & you never know which one is going to show up. When they are there to play, they are very good and when they're not there to play, that's obvious, too. Anyway, they were there to play today and were outclassing their opponents. Their only problem was that most of the shots they hit were right at somebody. The visitor's batters were not able to get a loud foul - forget loud, not much more than a whisper - until the 5th inning or so. One out in the 7th and visting coach sends in a pinch hitter who looked at 3 pitches right down the middle. Two outs in the 7th & up comes the visitor's catcher - who is excellent at stopping every pitch & foul from hitting me but hops all over the place behind the plate. Catcher has an 0-2 count and bloops a ball into left - F6 couldn't get it and neither could F7. I think it kind irked the pitcher who smoked 3 belt high pitches past the next batter. Second time I've had the plate on this team this year - both times were 1-hitters with no walks.
After working some men's major play this past weekend, I really had to concentrate on slowing down & realizing that I wasn't working at the same level.
