ouch! hell .. I hurt all over! I've really gone too far! but then .. jump on a Sunday you over with a desire to play on but it is difficult to sit still!
However, I was saying .. This week I overdid the exercise: I received a match of softball, two baseball LORDS bullpen and then some years behind the plate. Then I had the bright idea of going to swim a couple of times! : (
Well .. Sunday I was literally petrified. not that we lost because of this, however, is definitely something that I have to pay more attention. And there is no good that I plan and training mode, then if I do take the famous "monkey"! :)
Anyway, Sunday we took a good whack, we did not beat anything, bad defense and Mondovi has worked well with the bat. I hope this is an incentive for everyone to do better, although I've seen better organization.
riposissimo yesterday and today .. light light workout tomorrow, and Thursday in the field!
Ale!
back on the pitch, stupid smile
For the series "until I see do not believe it," I wanted to wait for the completion of the first league game to write anything down. After months and months of nothing, changes, hopes, disappointments, wants to do, eventually, somehow, I did. I'm back on the pitch!
And as you can see from the logo (gibbato by signing Grazialk playit on forums), where the team play this year are as Savona Mariners. Indeed .. as well as player, since I have taken this route, I'm lucky to be able to make even the manager. I must say that this is all possible thanks to the huge availability and desire to do and Marco Flavio. I really want to thank them.
Yes, because in this offseason (I have not spoken publicly for various reasons that I am not to list) I tried to put together a new team from Genoa to the Serie C2. And in this attempt, narrowly missed, I found Flavio (director-manager of the Cubs Albisole) a very open person and determined to help to create a new reality.
Coach Convention 2009 - Jeremy Guthrie - Facing hitters
In the ' last episode of our radio program "baseball and music" I did a quick overview of the featured speakers at the CC2009. Now then is the time to learn a little bit, so I will talk about the very interesting speech by Jeremy Guthrie on his way to face hitters.
 | As I said, Jeremy is primarily a very outgoing person and available, as well as technically prepared. And I must admit that since he enjoyed the skit to register for the intro to bem , I suddenly started to feel some sympathy for the Orioles! (The charm of a Major League pitcher is unrivaled ..) Jeremy told us that he thinks the most important thing when you're on the mountain, you know the batter is ahead. In this MLB is "relatively" easy, thanks all'eccelso scouting is done by teams, but it is essential that the battery has a shared strategy before the batter enters the box. |
Since no one believes you are holding the "absolute truth", players and coaches of the Big Leagues spend so much time talking baseball before matches. Between Pitcher and Catcher is known that (usually) there is always a great relationship, but I discovered that there is much dialogue between the pitcher! (With some exceptions, of course .. hehe ..) For example, in Race 1 of each series, at 17.30 (during the beaters bp), the pitchers have a meeting in the clubhouse to discuss about the other players that will face.
Another way is to get hitters to watch video. Jeremy usually does at 14.30 each day, while eating a giant burger in the best restaurant in the ballpark! :)
But what I can not give the technology away from the experience, attention and intelligence. It 'important fact to know how to "read" your opponent. Being able to understand what "forward" the player who is in front, * just * at the time. And maybe even have the courage to change the initial strategy on the fly. For example, who is probably far from the plate like the balls that night outside or maybe you do not feel safe with the interior. Putting away avoids having to beat, but "communicates" to the pitcher in his situation.
Coach Convention 2009 - intro
After a week of my return from Perugia, I am finally post something on what I've learned to coach convention. I think I have enough for a couple of other posts, so in the coming weeks I will share other material.
program notes and badge
First we make some presentations. The Coach Convention is the usual event of "openness" of the Italian baseball season. Formally, is the meeting of all the Italian engineers, but the practical side is also a meeting point for the political federation. In fact, the first federal council of the year has its own during this event.
The CC, in these three years in which I participated, was always well organized . To do the indigestion baseball! Three days of continuous operations 45/60 minutes from prestigious American and Italian speakers. Both for baseball and for softball. (Two rooms)
doc quote
As I wandered through google checking the updates, I discovered that my posts about Rita Pavone and Take Me Out To The Ballgame was even quoted from the newsletter of Fortitudo Bologna !
They were especially nice because they have linked to my tag "baseball" and not directly to the audio file as it did the press office of fibs. (currently this link is dead)
Among other things I discovered that there is some organization Bologna "connects" baseball commentator : the fortidudo, in fact, has a weekly radio broadcast (both streaming and in fm) of their games!
I hope to hear some (unfortunately I did not find the podcast) as soon as possible!
scorer convention
for the first time are a little excited to write my post. This is why scorer convention in which faith, grazialk and I attended, was very special.
the alarm has sounded at 5 am yesterday morning, saw that the place designated for the convention was rimini. As our custom , we do not discourage and even though we had slept a few hours due to the bigs for wii games, at 5.30 we are already in the car.
the outward journey, unlike that of receipt (in dignity just say we went from milan .. hehe ..), row smoothly and thanks to GPS we find the hotel quickly. We should wait a bit, but only those notions that we lose then I will keep the classic question that raises the typical idiot "but belin we said 5 minutes ago."
the story of the convention do not have to do it, because even something slowly released from the forum of the classifiers . I want instead to talk about how friendly the environment was the cnc. Although it has been nice to know a lot of people like us spend some of their nights to work on numbers and statistics, perhaps on screens like the one below, driven by one passion for baseball. (Reimbursement expenses percipiscono is very low)
I believe that there is not enough appreciation of the use of statistics and if the results of the CNC, sometimes, are not much of a girlfriend because you are not allocated adequate resources to do a good job. The second scorer convention is proof "living" this is the right way because things change. Meanwhile, those who even now is able to grasp the fundamental importance of "stats" of baseball may well come forward to do with others what you probably already done this for only ... I can assure you (and I experienced on my skin) that the CNC has doors that open .. have it wide open!
Ale!
ps. despite this, every time I read BV, RG and MBB instead of H, IP and SLG continue to emit a growl worthy of an ogre of the remotest dungeon .. ; D
