Next game May 17th
Gents:
Next Game: Our next game is next Sunday, May 17th at home vs. Stamford Phillies . we have a single 9 inning game
Scouting Report: The Phillies have beaten the Mariners who were league champs last year. They have added a few young guys to their team.
The pitcher will likely be a right-hander named John Cunningham who throws 3/4 to sidearm. Not overpowering but a different arm slot than guys are accustomed to seeing.
As a veteran in the league he knows not to walk anyone so expect to get strikes.
They run a bit but not universally every player runs.
They play good defense but do not have depth at pitching.
They will hit the ball but can be pitched to as well.
In short, a good team that we will need to play well to beat.
But I have every confidence we can play well against them in our home opener
Practice: We plan to have practice wed night at 630 at the varsity field. As of now we think it will be available for us but if something occurs we can move to another field or at least hit in the cage. we have maybe 1 hour to 1 1/4 hours for this practice before it gets too dark. Jim will be there at 630 and I am likely to get there at 7pm but at minimum we get in some throwing and some swings in the cage. at best we can also take some infield
Attendees: Please let us know about your availability this weekend . We only need to know if you will not be there to help us plan ahead.
We know Jose is out as he is attending his wife's graduation from Columbia grad school---Congratulations to Jose!

We are rained out today ( May 9th vs. Monroe)
Red Sox:
It is raining hard right now. There are puddles all over the field and the grass grew 2 inches overnight.
So we are PPD rain.
Enjoy Mother's Day weekend.
We will try to practice next week
Disapointing but we shall carry on. We will work on a make up date and advise

Game May 9th Saturday vs Top Hats
Gents:
Nice work in wrapping up the win. Glad to hear everyone made contributions… Congratulations
Upcoming game:
Note the game is Saturday at the Wilton JV field ( which is the field in the HS complex but down by the tennis courts the HS team will be practicing sat am on the varsity field-our normal home field) and thus we need to play on the JV field) 9am start
This is a Mother's day scheduling.
You are going to love playing the Top Hats
Very tough team lots of terrific players and a great challenge for us. They are traditionally 17-3, 18-2 or so and are strong in every facet of the game.
We will need to be at our best but it is a game we shall be ready for .
I expect they will throw Joe Kais who has great control and has been very successful in the league for years. But you will be able to count on seeing strikes.
The team has great speed and will run and play defense
They will be our best opponent to date and a great challenge for us.
Time of arrival:
As for infield practice we have infield at 8:20am and have to give up the field at 8:40 to the visitor. Please be ready to take the field and throw full out at 8:20 so we can prepare for this game.
Attendees:
We know Charlie is out and Jim has very limited time available and I essentially out .
Please let me know if you are not able to make it so we can plan accordingly.
The assumption is you are in unless you otherwise let me or Jim know.
