After checking the score from the last time we played this
team and watching them during warm-ups I thought we had a sure fire win tonight.
We just couldn't catch a break, however. We couldn't hit the ball at all, and
when we did it went right at somebody who either caught the ball or threw out
the runner. Just a bad night all around for the Cardinals. Tyler only got two
at-bats, the innings went so quickly. He struck out his first time at bat,
swinging at one pitch and then watching the next two go by. He looked more
confident in his next at-bat, swinging hard and fouling off a couple of pitches
before being walked. The final result from all of this bad play was a 7-2
loss. The good news is that if they play hard in their last few games they still
have a chance at a 0.500 record for the season. Not too bad considering the way
the season started.
Game 12 @ Athletics

Tyler started in centerfield, and played there the entire game.

Tyler swinging and missing in his first at-bat. He wore his
sunglasses during warm-ups and hit the ball well, so he stuck with
it during the game. Whatever gives him the confidence he needs...
