Orioles (1-0) at Astros (1-1) , Monday 4/30, 7pm, Strasburg
Sometimes we find new ways to lose. This time, it was giving up 10 runs in the first inning. The Orioles found every hole and every gap. 10 stinking runs. 10. After that, they didnt score anything. Squatta. We put up 2 in our half of the first, 3 more in the 2nd, a few more in the 6th, and found ourselves down 10-6 in the last inning. Back to back doubles by Matt and I, followed by a single by Jay cut the lead to 10-8. With two outs we had runners on 2nd and 3rd…but couldnt get them home.
Progress? I guess. Last year i think we would have been 10-runned being down 10-0 so early. This year we fought back and held our ground. We left 5 runners on base in the last two innings alone. The next step is to turn those close losses into wins.
I felt much better at the plate, went 2-2 with a double a walk and a sac fly, 2 RBIs and 2 Runs scored.
Final Score: Astros 8, Orioles 10
Next Up: Ambassadors (2-0) at Astros (1-2) , Thursday, 7pm, Willow Street

Giving up runs is OK as long as you are getting more than you are giving up. Being good at the sport and getting more runs means Bat Speed and Power Hitting. Train exercise and practice for consistent method allows the bat speed to increase. Moderate bat speed increase gives a radical difference to the distance gained. Facing a 90 mph ball, you have about .4 of a second before the ball crosses the plate
It takes about .25 of a second to actually swing a bat
This leaves you .15 seconds to decide if you will swing at the pitch, when, and where to swing your bat. Hit the sweet spot on the bat and you know you are home all of the time.
