Watching this team try to play baseball is like digging out a splinter with a pair of chopsticks. It looked like a real ball game until everyone decided to field the ball wrong-handed in the 7th and give away 6 runs to Newark. The Stars outfield make easy work of everything we hit out there. Line drive, fly ball, it didn’t matter. We put up more errors than hits and runs COMBINED. It was a loss, it’s expected at this point. I’m going to throw some virtual chairs in clubhouse.
