April 28 Games Cancelled

Unfortunately Mother Nature is not a baseball fan. We're rained out and all games are cancelled for today, April 28. The forecast looks like rain on and off all day. Given the limited numbers we were looking for due to the holiday weekend, we best set out sights on next weekend. Thanks...

BASEBALL FOR SATURDAY APRIL 28

First lets all congratulate our Seniors for a stunning victory against the Villabilla team this past weekend. They hit the ball hard and played excellent ball in the field.

Secondly I hope everyone has heard that there will be baseball this Saturday April 28. It seems there won't be many people traveling this weekend so we are going to try and make up for the games that were rained out the 14th. The only exception is there will be no tee ball. Repeat no tee ball this weekend.

So- Here's the schedule for this Saturday
10:00 Coach Pitch   Yankees vs Blue Jays
11:00 Coach Pitch   Orioles vs Reds
12:30 Coach Pitch   Mets vs mariners
14:00 Machine Pitch   Marlins vs Nationals
15:30 Machine Pitch   Rockies vs Rangers
17:00 Senior Kid   Diamondbacks vs Padres

Hope to see as many of you as possible this weekend....

SATURDAY APRIL 14- RAINED OUT

Unfortunately we are victims of the weather today. All games cancelled for today. Better luck next week...

BASEBALL FOR SATURDAY APRIL 14

I hope everyone had a good Semana Santa and are ready for Madrid League Baseball action again. We're going to raise the bar a touch in the ongoing effort to increase our skill level at the game. Here are few changes you may notice:
- Coach Pitch: We're going to try and maintain clear definition between infield players and outfield players. Firm 7 pitch count limit per batter. Coaches physically helping by pushing, stopping, carrying, or enhancing the baserunners movements will not be allowed.
- Machine Pitch: Runners will be allowed to advance on balls that get past the catcher, including the batter on a missed 3rd strike. 5 pitches or 3 swinging strikes (whichever comes first) per batter. Increased pitch velocity. And as above no physically assisting base runners.
- Senior: There will be leading and stealing allowed starting with this week's games.

And with that, here's the schedule for this week:
10:00 Tee Ball Braves vs Angels
10:00 Coach Pitch Yankees vs Blue Jays
11:00 Coach Pitch Orioles vs Reds
12:30 Coach Pitch Mets vs Mariners
14:00 Machine Pitch Rockies vs Rangers
15:30 Machine Pitch Marlins vs Nationals
17:00 Senior Kid Pitch Diamondbacks vs Padres

Please remember if it has been raining a lot prior to Saturday or on Saturday morning, please check with your coaches. I will try and have a yes or no by 9:15 for the early games. Hopefully this won't be the case though and I'll see you all Saturday....
