At The Half

In what may be our shortest season ever (remember back to that February of '15?) it's also possible that we've got more games left to play than we've got in the books. Now with 5 rainouts, we've had but 11 games. And there are 10 more Sundays scheduled through October. If we keep playing only to November 1st, it would make this Sunday just the beginning of the 2nd half of the season. Adding November 8th means 12 games left to play. And autumn's the best time of year to play baseball.

Two more 9am games before September's time shift to 10am games.

The permit is still in flux, hopefully to our benefit (there's a call into Dave Dombrowski's office.) So if you didn't get emails over the weekend, you're not on the list - get in touch!

Baseball: Fall Begin With a Whimper

No game. While it will be a blistering summer day, Framingham got drowned around 5:45pm, then again for a couple of hours around 9:30pm. The hoped-for fields are still soaked. But there are still 10+ weeks remaining on the schedule - and more if we go into November.

An email went out to the mailing list with new details. If you didn't get it, get in touch!

Final Week of Summer

At least according to the permit, this could be our last game at our "summer home". The application is in, with vague assurances ("shouldn't be a problem") that we'll have a field through October. But ... come on out tomorrow for what could very well be the Summer Finale!

Next week - possibly as late as Friday - we'll learn where we'll be for the fall.

Through August, the Game Day schedule, starting one hour before First Pitch:
8:00 - :05     Gear arrives at the field.
8:05 - :25     Groom the field, stake the bases, warm up.
8:25 - :50     Grab a ball bucket and a helmet, give one to another player and start BP.
8:30 - :50     Manager’s split the teams.
8:45             Sign-in deadline.
8:50 - 57      BP ends, announcements, split onto benches, home team takes the field.
9:00             First Pitch.
 
Game's begin at 10am starting September 6th.
