GSHAS #7
Excellent work with the gloves and the bats in a 17-13 win. Jon L. had several key 2 out hits and Jesse hit 3 HRs. It was the revenge of the gloves- we turned 3 DPs, Tony made a great diving stop in the hole to get a force out at 3B and turned 2 DPs including an awesome turn on a ball hit up the middle, Chaz made a great stop on a ball up the middle to save a run, and Pete (or was it Todd?) made a great throw from CF that Ben cut off and threw to 2B to get a putout. I think the awesome glove work can be attributed to Tony’s use of duct tape on his pants- it should be mandatory for all IFs.
Here are this week’s points as best I can remember- feel free to self-assess as needed. This time it is hard to remember all the negative points. Wow!! It seemed as if Ben was trying to get 5 points by himself in the first inning. We decided on a new rule: if anyone gets 5 points in one game, they will be removed from the game so they can go purchase beverages immiedately. As always feel free to comment, correct, add, etc. Chris W., any OF points to assess?
Ron (6.5)
Matt (6.5) [+2 for errors two weeks ago (see comments)]
Charlie (5) [+1 for walk]
Ben W. (4.5) [+1 for walks (there were 3 but we’ll only count one though I know they weren’t intentional), +1 for getting thrown out at home, -0.5 for cutoff and putout]
Jon L. (4.5) [+1 for fielding (self-assessed), -0.5 for 5-4-3- DP, -0.5 for 2 out RBI idea]
John B. (3.5) [-1 for 2 DPs]
Chris W. (3.5) [+1 for error two weeks ago, +1 for being late with the OF points (see comments)]
Dan W. (3.5) [+1 for grounding into DP, +2 for points two weeks ago (see comments)]
Chaz (0) [-0.5 for 5-4-3 DP]
Todd (0.5) [+1 for letting runner advance to 2nd base]
Pete (-0.5)
Jesse (-2) [-1.5 for 3 HRs (hmm, we need a Jesse HR rule)]
Tony (-2.5) [-1 for 2 DPs, -0.5 for diving stop in the hole]
Per Jon L’s suggestion in the comments, the polls are back. Here is this week’s poll.

Today

That should do it for the outfielders

we need to get Ron to sub for a game, just so he can bring refreshments.

Let’s just tell Ron he is subbing for an 8:45 game next week (when our actual start time is 7:30). . .
Oh, and I am pretty sure I deserve +1 for trying to make a throw before fielding the ball in the 7th and booting it (in my defense, I had visions of another DP!), and +.5 or +1 for the ball I missed in the 1st (breaking up Ben’s perfect game). To be honest, I didn’t really see that ball until it was past me, so I don’t know if it was routine enough to warrant +1 (but I clearly deserve at least +.5 for not even seeing a ball I could have made a play on!).

Oh I also have an idea for a poll:
From now on, should 2-out RBI generate negative points?
Yes, any 2-out RBI should be -0.5
Yes, but not if the runner was on 3rd (’cause we kinda should drive those in)
Yes, and if Charlie or Jon L can score from 2nd, it should be -2
No, it is softball, we should be driving in guys regardless of the situation
I only mention this because if we get positive points for not driving in runners from 3rd with less than 2 outs, I thought it might make sense to have a negative-point analogue (and not because I am now over 5 points and had some 2-out RBI last night). . .

Jon,
Thanks for your assessment. I think one point is reasonable and I’ve updated.
I like your poll idea. I’ll gen up the poll and get it going. Also, I granted a half-point for both the idea and last night’s execution.
