Cudgeled in a dark Diamond alley (thud)
Oof. Boomerang, here we come.
We’ll have to give it another day or two, maybe we’re just in our (typical) spring training slump. But we ain’t hitting the ball, we ain’t catching the ball, and we ain’t throwing the ball—so it doesn’t look too good so far. There don’t seem to be many lawbreaking vehicles on the street in Diamond Town.
Quartermaster, it may be time to give the felons a little encouragement. Go and fetch the cat o’ nine.
Looking for signs of hope…the infield (including catchers) is hitting all right, but we left the outfield in gold, apparently. The starters are getting banged up, but the relievers simply shelled (bullpen ERA-dead last). Ooh! 4 and 6 for the last 10, a hot streak!
We’ve actually had chillier first months. This team traditionally gives away half their losses every Spring. So we’re hoping for a warmup, and it had better come soon.
Anyway.
10-18 for Apr-May, Division 5th, Overall 27th. Relegation Line -½, we’re certainly not alone in the Boomerang Squad.
