Ever notice that Bob Ford looks an awful lot like a hobbit? Makes you wonder. So last night, The Forcs were unleashed on the hapless Penciltuckians for a final of 18-10. The Management didn't think it was that type of onslaught, but, to each his own opinion. The Forcs played great outfield defense and hit the ball around controlling the game for almost the entire night. Stats not taken by us suggested that the top 5 Forcs scored 16 runs. That's good. It also suggests that hitters 6-8 had a bunch of RBIs which is better.
The Good:
Hitting was good but not great. We came out strong in the first by putting up 6 but didn't really score again until the 4th when the score was 8-6. After that, we pulled away. Defense was good all around with probably our most solid team defensively that we've put up this year. Funny how everyone shows up for some games but not others (Tap Room?). Specifics, let's see. The Management remembers some of the evening but the PBRs were certainly flowing. Memorial Nick had a bunch of hits as did Pete. Daddy Matty played well coming back and showed his non-Nevins speed by stretching singles into triples. Candy had some nice hits and pitched well. Ed got a nice hit but then of course was gunned down at 2nd for trying to impersonate Matt but really impersonating a Marino. All around good play down the lineup.
The Bad:
Not a lot of bad. Just lost focus after we got up in the 1st inning. The Management is certainly indicative of that. So not so much bad as funny. Pickle fouled out off the 1st base fence. That's funny. Ed got hosed at 2nd. That's really funny. We want a video of that. Come on Ed, where exactly do you think you're going? Nevins was almost gunned out at 2nd by a Nick-Courtney duo. That would have been amazing. And the Forc outfield pulled an Art Museum and roved a fair amount.....which was weird. The Management also tried to make 8 substitutions at the same time in different spots in the 4th inning of an 8-6 game. We won't be doing that again.
The Franklin Mystique (formerly The Ugly):
George Miller was so terrified of Ed Wagner that he forgot to swing. This was payback for stepping on the Management's PBR tallboy which usually means war. The Management remembers Ed throwing at Miller in response for the attack. You don't waste beer! Fordo Baggins also took himself out pitching after 1 inning. That's knocking a pitcher out of the game, folks. And minutes after mocking Nick for not throwing him out at 2nd, Nevins drops a routine pop fly from Adam. Karma.
The Lumber Liquidator Player of the Game:
Candy Graham, couple of hits, broke her "getting hit by the ball" streak of 2 games. Congrats!
Paul Watch:
Locals spotted him walking through the forest and stopping at a garbage can near Dairy 2 to investigate. Accounts are conflicting.
Quotes of the Game:
"You see, I stretched that single into a double."
Nevins to Nick
"Hey, is this guy who stretched that single into a double?"
Nick to Nevins every 5 minutes for the last 4 innings.
"You might as well put on a Pirates hat."
Fordo Baggins to the Management as a result of the roving outfield
"Who do you want to put in? Me or Chris?"
"Ugh, you decide."
The Management deciding on which Marino we want to pop up in the 5th
"Whatever you want, Skip."
Some Douchebag who doesn't wear a hat and gets bad jumps in right field
