I’ll be honest; I don’t plan on writing another blog entry that has anything to do with something other then sports or mainstream media, with the exception of documentaries. So I snapped these pictures with my buddies iPhone at practice last night, pretty neat little device.
The first picture is just some of the guys throwing at practice, nothing to fancy about that really except the fact that we are practicing inside a gymnasium. Due to the fact that the Kansas weather is extremely unnecessary right now, we are forced to throw 34 guys into a gymnasium for three hours of fun. In reality, it is really just a mission to come out of the break without getting dotted in the head by a random ball.
The second picture is the same thing just from a different angle, and a couple different guys. That bald man in the sweats happens to be our assistant coach who apparently is quite fine with walking behind guys who are playing catch. Aside from the fact he is an easy target to pick on, which happens a lot, he can recruit like a champ. Therefore; this season will be a memorable one.
A lot of it will be attributed to this guy right here. Monty, as we call him, is a pitcher from Texas who should do some damage this year. Throws hard, hits spots, wins games, it’s a great combination. He joins a staff which is well known around the rest of the conference and was very dangerous last season. Personally speaking, we lacked pitching last season which eventually turned out to be the end of our season. This year, I think things will be very different simply to the fact we have depth in the rotation and in the bullpen.
This guy right here is Kyle Lynch, our first basemen. He hit a little for us last year and more than likely will do a little more of it this season. We hit well last year as a team we just struck out a lot and at times couldn’t seem to find the big hit. This season we have more power, speed, depth, and especially more swag, and our offense should do some pretty incredible things this year.
That’s Cory Shorette bunting, one of the many drills we do inside the gym. It is semi-pointless because were crammed as a unit already and hitting balls towards people that include people not looking at you does not make anyone better. This picture relates to something completely pointless and irrelevant to anyone except someone who played baseball on the team last year. This is just an example of the things that happen throughout the course of the season when you hang around the same guys for 8 hours a day. It’s called chemistry and we don’t need to sit in a science hall class to learn about it.
This is the boss, the big boy. Coach Carv, our genereal & commander. He is a pretty straight forward guy. I mean he led us to 33 wins and a Conference Tournament Championship last season, I am pretty comfortable with him at the realm. In all, its going to be fun. We have 34 of the most oddballish people ever who happen to love hitting, throwing, and winning. Plus a coach who is willing to put up with all of it.
