Ok, so yeah, I lied. I stated in an earlier post that I’d be posting more. That hasn’t been the case. So, to get back into the swing of things, I decided to just post some random thoughts. Here they go:
Emergency Rooms: Don’t go unless you have a broken bone. My wife was running almost a 103 degree fever and shivering uncontrollably. So we took her to the ER. She saw the triage nurse, which gave her some Tylenol and sent us back to the waiting room. She told us there was a 2-3 hour wait to see a doctor. 3 hours later we left after the receptionist said it could be another 3 hours before we saw a doctor. Bottom line, unless you are dying, stay home. Oh yeah, wife has tonsillitis, that’s what our doctor told her when she visited him the next day. We are pumping her full of antibiotics and aside from her throat hurting, she’s doing much better.
BBCOR bats: Will revolutionize the way baseball is played in high school. They are already using them in the college game and there is more “small ball.” People say these bats have “less pop.” That’s not true, they have the same pop, just a smaller sweet spot, which in turn eliminates cheap hits. This will teach players to hit the ball on the proper part of the bat. You may want to save this post for what I’m about to say because I’m going to predict the future. The BBCOR bats will allow the pitchers to pitch inside more. It will also reduce the number of runs in a game. So my prediction is that in 3-4 years the strike zone for college and high school will be reduced to the major league strike zone. One other thought on the BBCOR bats, I’d recommend that high schools get a few this year and start hitting with them. It will do 2 things. One, it will get the players used to them Two, it will make the players that hit with them better with the current bat since the current bat will have more room for error.
Memorial Day Party: Its almost 2 months away now…I’m ready.
