Okay I have to go back 2 weekends ago and brag in writing about Bryson. While his hitting was great till he bragged on himself in the dugout to the team (yes he was 5-5, no errors until he jinxed himself) he threw out a runner at home from 8u-deep left center field. Bounced one time to catcher and I hope he appreciates O Riley (the catcher that game) .
What is this cutoff guy business?
Tonight we all sat down for a late dinner. This daddy was dying to know how his baby girl did in her first kid pitch game. Actually a double header. I didn't get to go due to Bryson's practice out of town.
She's playing up her first time / season primarily for 2 reasons; one being her friends on the team and sticking with the 3rd grader friends that had to move up. Addison could have stayed 'down' and played 8u.
Any way, I have noticed how tough she is with plate presence and discipline for a girlie girl. She doesn't move her feet out when I throw her tight inside. She just stays in the box without flinching. If you saw all the boys I've pitched to get happy feet, you'd quickly understand.
Did she crush the ball tonight? Maybe once. The word crush is relevant and irrelevant tonight. She managed to get on base all 4 AB's tonight. 2 walks. 1 HBP. 1 hit.
This girl has come a LONG way and I can't wait for her to read this blog some day because she and I went through some hard times practicing a year ago. She learned practice pays... last year... in the 2nd half of the previous Spring.
We've worked alot on individual performance and I can't wait to go into the phase of how to be a team player because the OBP is 1.000 and is a great segway. For someone that was diagnosed with extremely low depth perception last fall, I can't say enough. Don't ever use this as an excuse!
I wish I could have been there, Addison. Love you!
Wow, I skipped the entire year of 2015 without a blog post. Definitely not intentional but that is a different conversation for another day.
Addison finished out her 1st season of basketball last Saturday. She really enjoyed this team and the game. After watching brother for two seasons, she showed plenty of interest for me to sign her up and the first season was a great one relative to just starting. She loved her practices and game time through the Crossings church league.
I was looking for a pic on my phone and ran across this one I wanted to share.
