– We cannot be this bad. It isn’t possible. We always have that one inning where the bottom seems to falls out.

– Our next game is another 6:15 game, our third of the season (out of four).

– The lineup will be overhauled (again) in time for next game, with a bit of a flip.

– The pitcher should try to cover first on balls hit to the right side of the infield (first and second base side). The pitcher should also back-up the catcher on throws home.

– We did a much better job in the field overall, and hitting cutoffs specifically.

– I will try to post updated batting statistics and leaders every two games (so not this week, but after next game).

– Chatter has started about the possibility of the Superbas playing in the upcoming fall league. If you are interested, let me know as the season winds down. The fall league costs less but we would play fewer games. We’ll try to get a sponsor, of course. I can think of one, rhymes with “benjeo.” (On a side note, one of our designated hitters has nearly lost all his hearing from the noise associated with his work. Would someone higher-up at his company, say, an associate, please make sure to get Wright Cole some ear protection.)

– Higher thought sessions at Bambino’s (located at Willow Pass and East Olivera) includes free pizza if eight Superbas show up after the game. (Just a little something we worked out with the owner last night as we continue to develop our “outreach” program for troubled youth in Concord, which is pretty much all youths in Concord. We’re also trying to convince the owner to sponsor the Superbas, but apparently they want to sponsor a “winner.” I asked him if he’d ever seen Major League, and he said that he doesn’t care for Martin Sheen or any of his children.)
