Crushed

We got killed today at our baseball game. It's not that we played that bad, a few errors, but for some reason we hit it to people and they didn't. Quite a few walks as well, with our pitching staff struggling to find the plate at times.

I had a decent day, despite tweaking my groin in the second inning. That stunk, but it happens. I walked and then took a lead. I got too far and the catcher threw to first. As I slid back, I mush have jerked a bit since my right leg felt the pull. It got worse as the game went on, and I slowed more and more.

After that I was 1-3, so not too bad. I actually half swung at an outside pitch and bounced one to third. The guy there was playing deep and I managed to beat out the throw for a single. Then a great hanging curve I popped up later. I had the last at bat, taking one, missing one, then hitting a foul homer down the right field line. They came back with a nice curve that broke outside and I missed. I should have let it go, but I was thinking "crush it" again.

In the field I made a couple nice plays at 2nd, but then blew another throw to 1st. Not much happened in the outfield, and I was too hurt to chase down a couple that came to center.

All in all a fun day, me getting time at left, center, and 2nd. If I'd have felt better I could have gone to first or third as well.
