What’s wrong with the Railroaders?

You think it’s about time we take a look at record and numbers? The Railroaders current record is 9-8. In first 9 games, the guys won 7 and lost 2. Since then, the record shows only 2 wins and 6 losses. Is it the heat? The “at Home” record is pretty good at 7 wins, 3 losses while the “on the Road” not so good, 3-5. Are the Pirates really that good? Our record so far with them is 1 win, 4 lost. They have beat up on the other team too, but so have we. Tradewater has handed us half our losses. I know we’re better than that and I know we can turn it around. Let’s get a grip on things and start winning. We don’t face the Pirates again until July 17th in Fulton, and only face them 3 more times total. We may still be in 2nd place in the standings, but we’re 5 games behind Tradewater. Let’s get the steam pressure up and get this train rolling! The quality of our players and coaches are better than the record reflects. Let’s begin tonight at the Yard and put away the Bobcats, then repeat the same this Saturday when the Nashville Panthers come into town. The Panthers are the best of the TSCBA with a record of 10-4. The next 3 games we play are at Home, let make them all WINS!

  2. Maybe someone should explain to the umpire crew when you swing and miss the ball it's a strike, always has and always will be. At some point you have to say enough s%it calls and back your players. High fast ball down broadway, oop's
    sorry blue missed that one just like you! :(

  4. Correct on both accounts, Boilerstoker. The leftovers were great and the win tasted good! As for the "swing" by the Bobcat, I suppose the ump had to say something to save face. Anymore calls like that though, and he'll have to join our club for ugly people!

    Tonight was just a start for the Railroaders. There's couple of big games coming up on Saturday with the Panthers. They won't be a push over and we'd better be ready for them. Our play tonight was better, especially with the long ball. We still need to step it up if we're going to take the season. The Pirates aren't going to ease off any, so neither should we.
