GSHAS DH a few weeks ago

jbatteh — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 04:51:24 +0000

I realized I never posted the points update from our DH sweep a few weeks ago. That was the week where we played hardly a full game innings-wise due to the two mercy wins. Here is what I remember (there is something seriously wrong as we only seem to be getting negative points!!): John [...]

GSHAS 2011 So Far

jbatteh — Wed, 25 May 2011 00:17:22 +0000

Due to some conflicts and vacation, there have been no updates to the point system so far this year. But, rest assured, the points are still going strong. GSHAS are 2-1 so far after the DH rainout last night (I wish we could assign points to the Classics folks for making us come [...]

GSHAS #10

Excellent comeback tonight against the Roys with a 14-11 win. They started off well and had a couple of big innings. We had 4 in the first but Danny killed our rally with a bases-loaded DP (on a 3-0 pitch no less). Our bats went silent for a while before busting out [...]

Tough game against Fender’s this week. We started hot with a nice 4 run first but then managed not to score the rest of the game. We held them down for a while but they had a big 5 run 6th to take a 6-4 lead and then added 3 more in the [...]

GSHAS #8

Excellent work in a 19-0 mercy of Chico’s. Brian was bringing the wicked stuff on the mound- after pitching out of a 2 out bases loaded jam in the first, there were very few baserunners the rest of the game. We started with 10 runs in the first, including a towering HR from [...]

GSHAS #7

Nice work in an easy victory over a clearly overmatched ProQuest team. Kinda felt bad for them- especially since the 3rd baseman took a few balls off his body as did the short stop. I think we played pretty reasonably given the circumstances so thanks for that. Even in a short game [...]

GSHAS #6

Stirring victory this evening against the Men Without Clues. The bats started off really slow but we finally had a big inning in the 5th. But they battled back and we had to rely on Jesse’s 2-run HR in the top of the 7th to take a one run lead. Oddly they [...]

GSHAS #4, #5

jbatteh — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 04:16:44 +0000

Excellent work in a DH sweep, including the bonus ball for the suspended game. Then we took care of business against the Roys by breaking a close game open late. Solid gloves and bats all night. Danny started off the first game with a tremendous catch in deep RC, Tony was diving [...]

An amazing talk about motivation along with a stunning graphical display. Well worth the view!!

GSHAS #3

Again, Charlie’s summary and the updated points. Tough loss tonight. They hit a lot of balls where we weren’t, including three that we got finger-tips on but scooted by; add in Jesse’s bid for a second home run missing by inches, the two strike pitch that found the third base line, and of [...]
