Try, try again . . .

After 3 close games, we’re on the brink of winning our first game of the season.  We’ve yet to face 2 teams, the Pirates and Bobcats, and tonight it’s the Cats coming to town.  Sometimes these little critters can create problems.  However, with the correct weapons and knowing how to use them, there’s really no danger in doing battle with them.  We’ll have to watch for their bite though. 

In the past, the Bobcats have prided themselves with good pitching.  I have no reason to believe that has changed.  They only have 2 games under their belt, and stand 1-1 for the effort.  In those 2 games they have allowed 6 runs total with a team ERA of 2.12 produced by 5 pitchers (one at 1.29, one at 13.50, the others 0.00).  Their bats aren’t very strong at this point with a team average of .193, and they’ve managed a total of 7 runs in the 2 games played. 

I believe it’s time for us to break the ice and get into the win column tonight!  In our 3 games, our team batting average is .283 and we’ve scored a total of 25 runs.  Angelo Burrage is leading with a .429 average and 5 more Roaders are above .300.  We got the offense to take this game.  We need to bullpen to step up to the challenge.  In 3 games, 29 runs have been scored against us and the team ERA is at 6.99.  We can do a lot to improve these numbers tonight, and yes, we do have the right weapons to do it.  Let’s play some baseball!
