After three years in our league we're finally competitive. Playing a team we've never beaten (mercied every time we've played them.) Tie game, top of the last inning, no outs, nobody on base. Batter drills a shot to left over the heads of the outfield. As he is rounding second, fielders still aren't to the ball. Runner hits third just as the fielders get there. Base coach sends him home. Left field hasn't made a clean transition from his glove to his hand, much less a decent throw all night. Guy throws a ROPE, runner is out by a half step. All momentum is gone. Next two batters pop-out. Other guys load the bases and score the winning run with no outs in the next inning.
I felt like throwing up. 9 times out of 10 that guy 3 hops the ball to the plate, or doesn't even get it out of his glove cleanly.
Sorry... just needed to vent.
