- Well, we finished the season 0-12, which took me totally by surprise coming into the season, and although we did have our fair share of bad luck — losing D-Grace at the half-way mark and having Quinonez play only one game, among others — we were much better than our record. I still believe that.
– We played our best game defensively last game; that is encouraging.
– We had two no-shows for our last game, Ghalambor and Cole, who have become a duet of deadbeats.
– During this off-season, I will update the website, finalizing and archiving all the gamelogs, player pages, and statistics. I will post the updates as they are completed.
– We are moving forward with the fall league. I will post on that issue shortly.
– I’ve gone through the seasonal awards, and I’ve reduced the total number accordingly. Being such, the awards will mean a lot more this season. Last year, we handed out 18 awards (for a 15-person team and a 12-game season). This season, I’m leaning more towards 12 to 14, and not everyone will earn an award, unlike last year. (A cursory explanation of awards is available.)
– Speaking of awards, I will be sending PayPal requests to players who donated graciously into the Strikeout for Beer Keg Fundraiser. Please pay promptly.
– Keep your weekends open in August for the banquet. Does Saturday, August 18, sound good to people? Or Sunday, August 19?
