The Schedule Is Out

Last week, the bunting stayed dry ... since it was not brought out! We drew about 14 to the field and surely would have hit 18 if not for the forecasts all week calling for heavy rain on Sunday. Through the occasional drizzle, we practiced in anticipation of this week's rain-delayed Opening Day.

Kudos to Phil R. and Bill R. for taking the initiative to run some fielding drills before BP! It'd be great to see the level of play elevated, with players thinking about situations before the situation happens (i.e., know where you're going to throw, where you need to be positioned for cutoffs and base coverage, etc.) And, everyone can always have more "situational chatter", the most obvious being calling loudly about who is taking a popup. A ball falling between two players is dumb. Collisions are painful!

As I still try to reach everyone:
- If you did not receive the opt-in notice, send an email!
- If you have not replied, please do so with all requested info!
- If you replied to the opt-in email, you should have received the schedule via email. If you did not get the schedule, send an email!

The bunting will be hung. The fly-over is schedule for 9:27am (12 minutes after the 9:15 when everyone should be there). Any volunteers to sing the National Anthem?

Game On

Log off. Play ball!

Opening Rainout?

Actually it looks like we may get a game in, if we miss the overnight rain, as the main storm won't be coming in until the afternoon.

Merloni Field at the High School is home until Memorial Day.

8:30 Gear and the enthusiastic arrive. Sign in. Groom field, secure bases, stretch, throw, tell tall tales

8:55 Take initiative and get Batting Practice started (BP swings are limited to 6, due to time.)

9:05 Managers begin making teams

9:15 All Players must be signed in for Managers to finalize equally talented teams

9:20 Announcements, final warmups

9:30 First Pitch

Play Ball? If it is rained out, it will be posted here by around 7:45am.

Opt-In Is Out!

It went out this morning. If you've played before and haven't received it, get in touch (via the "get in the game" link on the right.)

Time Change

After studying the permit and seeing how the end time (12pm, but really closer to 12:30) will effect getting in 9 innings, all games through Memorial Day will have to begin at 9:30am, not 10am. So let's get used to it by having the next two weeks of "scraping-off-the-rust" - tomorrow and April 15 - begin at 9:30.
