A few notes from me about the season so far. Sitting at 11-11 I’m exactly where I said I wanted to be when Ruth came back, but somehow I’m disappointed. The Defense is scary sometimes, about the only players I have confidence in (I’m talking don’t cringe when the ball is hit their way are Everett Scott at SS, but he can’t hit his way out of a paper bag…a wet one at that, 1B Stuffy McInnis at first (He’s my harry Hooper in the infield) and Harry Hooper in RF, matter of fact Harry has made so many great plays and awesome throws I have just come to assume an out when the ball goes that way and see ing a runner thrown out on a ball hit to him is just an everyday occurrence and not surprising at any point now.
We’ve got what I think is a good relief core but I’m hesitant to use them some times since the starters can be so effective. Burliegh Grimes is turning into the best pitcher in the league who can’t buy a win. Of his 26 runs given up this year only 12 are earned…sad ….the whole rest of the team only has 10 un-earned runs combined!!!!!!
Now on a side not this forum really pisses me off sometimes, there are times when I get a nice Big post ready for this thread and something happens and it gets all messed up of just disappears totally. Oh well such is life. And Now back to the action.
Our pitching staff is getting ready to get tested for sure as we have games on 37 consecutive days, and if you include the 10 we just played that’s a month and a half of playing every day….damn those guys were IRON MEN back then!
The only teams we’ve played so far are Philly,Washington and New York…were getting ready to head west to St Louis, Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago so some fresh faces to play against soon!
Right now it’s one more game against the Senators and P Doc Ayres
