Wet rain Wet Field but with alot of field work by the MAN at schenectady baby ruth ( he was a huge help) We were able to get our game in. Sun even came out! Reds took an early 1-0 bottom of first, off Yankees starter Smitherman. Yankees tie it up top of 2, but Reds came back with a run of their own in the bottom of 2...
This report was delayed by my not being able to get the book in front of me until this morning. Friday, May 3rd the Reds and Cubs got together on a beautiful Friday night at Schenectady Babe Ruth. Dave Mitchell opened the scoring for the Cubs in the top of the second with a mammoth HR that hit the trees behin...
Extreme short notice, and I apologize. But we are rolling the Satellite grass this Thursday while the ground is wet and softened from the expected rain on Wednesday and Thursday. We are renting a 1 ton vibratory roller in hopes of flattening out the lumpy conditions. We need some people to help out fro...
Ok, so where are the rules of the Bulletin Board content to be displayed written anyways? I mean if you can't talk about the field conditions (unless you can't see the obvious and agree with the propaganda you've been fed regarding how stellar the field was going to be this year and you feed the thought p...
I just learned tonight of the health issues that two of my favorite CDMSBL players have confronted recently. Scott and Andy, if you are following this blog please know that you are in my thoughts as you continue your path to recovery. You are both fierce competitors on the field and I have no doubt that y...
John Reel and I spent more than 9 hours on the Satellite field Saturday. We turned the infield, watered it to saturation; dragged it, watered it more and then rolled it by hand with a 250-pound roller donated by Mike LaBarge. We are going to rent a vibrating roller at some point to flatten out the entire i...
Jays and Royals had a great day to play baseball on Sunday with John Weber going against Jon Atwell. Jays went down scoreless in the 1st with a 1B by Scott Ross and a 2B by Paul Post. Royals put up 1 run with a BB by Marc Fiacco who stole 2B and scored on a 1B by Dave "Boomer" Hartman. Answering in the...
On an absolutely gorgeous second Sunday of the 45 CDMSBL baseball year at beautiful New Scotland Park, the recap to the Yankees-Black Sox game goes something like this: Bottom of the first inning and following a lead-off, two-strike single by Mark Lennox, then a walk to the 2 hitter, Dave Booker rope...
First of all, my apologies to the Marlins for an honest bookkeeping gaffe in the fifth inning when we celebrated prematurely thinking we had a 12 run lead and the game was over - more than slightly embarrassed. Again, my apologies. Bobby Bolt threw four terrific innings before pulling his groin muscl...
On another picture perfect Sunday for baseball, the upstart Braves defeated the new look Cougars 9-4 at Satellite field. The Braves jumped in front early when Greg Gougler crushed a triple into the fenceless gap in left. They added two more in the 2nd after 2 walks then a single by Daron McNab, giving t...
The Reds improved to 2-0 by beating the Dodgers, 9-1 on a beautiful Sunday morning at New Scotland. The Dodgers took an early 1-0 lead in the 1st on an RBI single by Nick Kannelis, scoring Wayne Newcomb who walked and stole 2nd to start the inning. That was the only run the Dodgers could muster up against R...
If anyone from the Marlins or Giants picked up a green lawn chair and maroon water bottle, thank you. Thought I had it all packed in and away I went. Let me know if you have them and I will work something out to recover them. Thanks. dbwixon
