Go Brewerfan!

Make us forget the woes of our 'professionals' by capitalizing on this, your first of a series of must-win situations. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[valpocrewsader]

Note, to anyone who sees "DH" next to their name, I'm pretty sure the plan is to rotate everyone in throughout the first game and to mix things up from game-to-game. Batting order also subject to change throughout the season. This was just the opening day lineup/positions we put together tonight in the chat.

 

I'm darn excited for thursday!

[brewerjamie15]

Yup. DH just means that you don't -start- with a defensive position. You bat in the order, and at about half way through the game you will take a position.

We are thinking of keeping the same basic batting order to breed a farmiliar feel to the order. Spots in the lineup are subject to change.

[brewers19]

Jamie better have some darn good on-base skills.

[Brian the Automator]

I'm really excited for the game as well. I was hesitant to sign up for the league going into it because I was out of shape and really was never that good at softball. I'm still out of shape and not good at softball, but I've had a great time at practices, and enjoyed hanging out with a nice group of guys.

 

Hopefully we get some more guys signing up next year, and we can maybe even have two teams.

[bball123h2]

Coolest part of the softball team: being listed in the lineup in a game thread.

 

Looking forward to good times this year, and maybe even a win or two.

[brewerjamie15]

Yeah, no prob. Stay on the base untill ball is hit, wait. run. Got it.

[nullbyte]

Woo! Looking forward to Thursday.

 

Has someone verified that all players are in the batting order for the whole game? I know at the practice that we weren't 100% positive on that point...

[Jimbo]

Has someone verified that all players are in the batting order for the whole game?

 

Yes. Jamie confirmed it during the chat session.

[rluzinski]

I'm thinking this is a "must win" game for you guys. You have to go out there and prove that this new team means business. You've got the fighters and gamers but what about the hard workers!?

[nullbyte]

Blah!

 

 Tomorrow Night Precip: &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp 60% Windy and overcast with showers. Low 44F. Winds NNW at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Rainfall near a half an inch. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph early.

[brewerjamie15]

Can't we just close the roof?

 

Hope we get the game in tomorrow not looking too good though.

[Southwest Brewer]

Since you're the away team, will you use your closer in the bottom of the 10th if the game is tied?

 

Who's in the pen?

[valpocrewsader]

Honestly, if it's only going to be in the high 40's, possibly rainy, and super-windy, I really hope the game gets cancelled. That's not my idea of fun.

 

I know, I'm a wuss....

[hawing]

Winds NNW at 25 to 35 mph.

 

So would that mean the wind will be blowing out, in, or across?

[Jimbo]

So would that mean the wind will be blowing out, in, or across?

 

From right to left.

 

On edit: blowing perpendicluar to the RF foul line, which means of course blowing straight out to left. *BRAIN FART*

[hawing]

Jimbo, I knew you would know that. Brewerfan's secret weapon. Thanks. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I'm the clean up man ala Fernandez. Which means I'll probably be in there in the bottom 10th.

[Jimbo]

In this morning's paper no scores reported in from Sijan for last night. Doesn't look good for tonight.

You're not being a wuss, it is incredibly nasty outside. If tonight's game is still on I will be incredibly surprised.

[razzzorsharp]

Unless it clears up I will more than likely not make it. I am not going to drive all the way to Milwaukee for a GTD. Hopefully though it will be called prior to any call I have to make.

[Iron Chef Napalm]

Anyone with a prior history in this kind of league know what time these things are typically called off? Knowing before I leave work would save me a lot of time.

I knew I should have bought that 70,000 square yard tarp.

 

 

BTW: Good call on cancelling the pre-game feast.

I think I will be without internet after 5:30, so I'm also hoping to get early notification.

Aw c'mon guys, I've ran in marathons with worse conditions worse than today. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

Think to yourself "it's a great day for softball". I'm mentally and physically prepared to play, and will be disappointed if we don't.
