Guy Talk w/ Chopperz-the NON Salon

Ok, 0-3 to start the season.  We are learning things as we play.  Our outfield should be pretty solid.  Alex and Janina were making some stellar catches in the outfield last game.  With that kind of outfield play, I envision having a 4 person outfield and moving the additional folks in to shore up our bunt defense.  We had a good 30-40 minutes of practice after last game, which should help with our inability to score runs.  Hopefully what we learned wasn’t lost in the 6 pitchers of beer at the Aztec Willies afterward.
For the folks who weren’t at the last game, the league founder hung out and drank with us after the game.  She gave us 3 tips to help:
1) “When kicking look at your junk”- Translates to make a concerted effort to keep your head down.  The more you look up the higher the liklihood that you will pop up.

2) Good teams and great teams are separated by their bunt and bunt defense.

3) In most instances, don’t throw at the runner, throw at the base.  Throwing at the runner will almost always lead to a wild ricochet that leads to the other baserunners advancing.

We finally have a late game, so we will be out there early with a grill and cooler.  If you get hungry, bring something to throw on the grill.  For the folks in Hillsboro/Beaverton, we will be carpooling from Chopperz leaving Chopperz @ 5PM (we gotta ref the game prior).  Note however, that the carpool will likely by staying at the sponsor bar after the game.
We are at Overlook tomorrow Wed 7/2 against Beaverton’s Finest.
