The Time is Near

This past Saturday we had a very productive practice. It was the first time the pitchers pitched live against hitters and it was the first time since the fall that hitters have seen some sort of live pitching. As a hitter, I can honestly say that it takes some time to get use to seeing live pitching again, especially since it's been months since we have seen any sort of action. Luckily it doesn't take much time to get your "eye" back. Overall, I have to say that everyone did well. the hitters, though a bit rusty, didn't hit the ball too bad for the first day. The pitchers looked pretty good too. Though our pitching staff is young, I hope they do well this year.

Some people may be wondering how we could see live pitching, especially since there was a half of foot of snow on the ground. The truth is we were all crammed in the small gym in the Harrington Center in the netted batting cages. Unfortunately this is all we have to work with but I suppose it is better than nothing. It doesn't help that the weather doesn't cooperate either. However, it could always be worse.

Believe it or not, our opening day is right around the corner--only 19 days. We still have alot of things to do in a short period of time, so you can imagine that we will be very busy the next couple of weeks.
