and DD lets you know that she was way off and missed her spots...and said her pitching really sucked. Starting pitcher allowed 7 runs (all homeruns - 1 solo, 1 double and 1 grand slam) before they put DD in. DD walked 3, allowed 2 runs (errors...2B couldn't catch a high pop up...hate that..."GOT IT GOT GOT IT...woops"...that one error ran the 2 in)...struckout 5, and the other hits were pop ups and grounders...no HRs. So according to DD, pure luck that it wasn't worse.

And she struckout at her every AB (d***ed drop balls...we are NOT at Top Golf d****t!)...if you can't hit the low ones, lay off of 'em until you can!!!

Sigh...just irritable because it was COLD (whiny Texan - it is only 42 degrees with real feel of 38 degrees LOL).

And no...I didn't hook up the GoPro. They have the area behind home plate fenced off (behind the fence before you ask)...and then right behind the homeplate fence, there is the "box" where they keep score (is also where they put equipment)...they have this "behind the homeplate fence" area enclosed with two gates on each side (3B and 1B line)...so it's about 2 feet sandwiched between homeplate fence and the "box". Well, they position the large club-like speakers right at each gate so no one can open gate, and stand behind home plate. And of course, the home team was on 3B line so I didn't want to leave my GoPro hanging on fence on 1B out of my view. Call me paranoid. LOL.

Definitely no sprinkles tonight. :)

Nope...I get all the sprinkles for the effort it took to sit/watch that tonight. Sigh. Why do we get so emotionally invested in this?? I mean, what's the point? I guess I won't know until DD graduates (in two years) and her collegiate plans are set in stone (but even then, they can change after she graduates! We have alumni who committed to playing for D1 schools...and they are no longer on roster the FIRST season they start! They were actually in the stands watching the game!). Going to bed...this old grumpy lady needs to shut the h*** up. :)

You'll have those games. My favorite was when my DD lost to a top D1 school 7-0.

I was already to hear about how bad it was and how everything sucked, ready to make her feel better when she says, "That was my best game I ever pitched!"

Okay.......

I hear you.
I'm from TX too.

If it gets under 40, I can get up to 3 pairs of pants and shirts on!

Got into a contest the other day with a parent over who had on the most clothes, we were all tied up in the pants, shirts, hats department and tie breaker ended up socks, which I won since I had on two pair!
