Well, the left-handed pitchers anyhow! Been doing it most of the winter anyhow, so they asked me to continue.<br />Those guys sure no how to throw the ball fast, but that's about it. I wish I had had a fastball, "I Could Have Been the Champ"! Yup, in my dreams!<br />Now I can pass on the stuff I learned from being around so long and having a great teacher like Eddie LoPat! He never even knew my name, I was just the, "Kid from The Kitchen" he never knew helping and taking to a kid would help me as much as it did. A great guy and a very good pitcher, hell, even his fastball was faster than my best.<br />Well, I guess that catches me up for the weekend, time to feed the dogs.<br />A win tonight would be great, say what!?Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-67202101101090645882014-05-27T18:57:50.406-04:002014-05-27T18:57:50.406-04:00Tough game to night, Tex out and the pitcher is on...Tough game to night, Tex out and the pitcher is one we have never faced before. <br />Solarte has come back to the real world, as I think most sane fan would expect. Now let's see him adjust to what has been going on. He does like that low fast ball and they are putting it lower than low, also throwing him sliders and change-ups low. He is fishing for them...could be, he is pressing to much.<br />We do need Solarte to step up now, with Tex hurting again, in fact, we need everyone to move up a step or two...two (Beltran and Tex) of our heavy lifters are hurting!<br />Right now Solarte is about where I thought he might be at .292/.368/.447/.815...actually I think I said something like .295+/-!<br />The bad thing about hitting is...in my opinion...there is one pitch a hitter will swing at damn near all the time and almost never hit. Mine was the high fastball, up around the shoulders...I always swung at it, not most of the time, all the time. In all the years I played, nobody ever figured that out. I must say, I was the Ichiro of Sand Lot Baseball. Even had a few HR's...er, inside the park kind. I never saw a fence I could clear, even in high school and college!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.com
