Team Win

Today we pounded Beaver, but we did it as a team. Beaver is a solid team, but they lack class and discipline. They didn't deserve to be on the field with us today. We won the game 2-1, and Trevor pitched what is arguably the best I've ever seen him throw. Today was a team win. Nobody shined on the own, but we did just enough to pull out a W and that's what team is about. I was 0 for 3 today but my second at bat I went down 0-2 in the count and managed to get an RBI out of it by putting the ball in play. It wasn't pretty, but it doesn't have to be pretty to be effective.

Everyone bought in today and relied on the guy next to him to not let him down. Playing unselfishly will be a huge part of how well we do this year. AC played well in his new role at third base and Larue did great in left. Amedure securing the final out brought back flashbacks of Grady last year at Beaver...luckily Tyler didn't try to eat the ball.

Great thing about today's win was it was a sincere showing. Everyone was fully invested mentally and emotionally.

Being fully invested is the only way to go. A word I've been using a lot to describe certain people's actions was "impersonal" but I believe I misspoke. The word I want to use is insincere. Insincerity is a true crime. It's a punishable offense because you're lying not only to yourself but to those you are being insincere with.

Maybe from time to time I take things too seriously and look too far into a situation, but i'd much rather be criticized for caring too much than not caring enough.

I'll speak my mind til the day I die, so if you ever want to know what I think of you, just ask. I won't hesitate to give you the most straightforward answer I can.
