2013 Wrap Up: Playoff Recap
As we near the first anniversary of the closest the Empty Pitchers have ever come to being a part of the playoff finals, the book's stats will have to tell the tale of the Pitchers destroying TAP in Round 1, rolling to an 11-1 win over the higher seed, and then engaging Ruben's Angels in an epic Round 2 battle, before falling 5-4 in extra innings. All that aside, to Koach K, the day still remains most memorable as the closest she's ever come to starting a fistfight, following her offer of common-sense advice (e.g. take a chill pill) to a crazy-eyed Sub & Heroes banshee regarding the controversial finish of the preceding playoff game.

Week 8: Split against that stupid Fontana's Bar
After pulling off a win in a Game 1 2-0 nail biter, the Empty Pitchers settled for a split against Fontana's Bar, losing Game 2 by a run, despite having a healthy turnout, and a balanced enough attack to post 9 runs.
Richie had a superb game at third, making several key outs and delivering a couple of key hits in Game 2 and using his speed to keep the scoring pace up. Brendan and Greg continued a disturbing trend of over-the-fence outs, which I now see as a bit of a pattern (unfortunately two weeks too late) as I finally get the stats current. With the playoff match ups already set, perhaps the biggest news to come out of the game is David and Damian (both 3-5 on the day) maintaining a lead over Greg (4-6) for the 2013 batting title...with playoffs stats having historically been kept separate from the regular-season stats, it may be too late for Greg to make up that ground.

Week 7: Pitchers hold onto No. 6 seed with split against Ninja Pirates
In what sounds like a truly nerve-wracking doubleheader, the Empty Pitchers split with the Ninja Pirates (formerly the Dirt Dogs), thanks to Sam and his Baseball God. The report from Sam below:
We'll go into the playoffs as the No. 6 seed and take on TAP again. I like our chances; provided we beat them in the single-elimination game on Saturday, Nov. 2, game, we'll play the winner of Sub & Heroes and Rubin's Angels later that afternoon. Here's the full league standings to date:
Game 1:
We were tied going into the bottom of the 7th. Had 2 outs. But gave up a single. Then their 2nd spot girl hitter (who was pretty good) hit a liner to right that was perfectly split between our fielders, went to the fence, and it was enough to get the runner from first home. Loss.
Game 2:
We were up 5-0 going into the 6th inning, where we gave up 3 runs. Then in the 7th inning they had 2 outs and a runner on 2nd; an easy grounder to me and I choked and threw the ball into the dirt. Run came home. Their No. 3 batter came up to bat and hit a liner to right field but God was looking out for me and the runner from 1st decided to go from 1st to 3rd and was thrown out at 3B. Game over. Thank you baseball God.
Brendan won the game ball. He was ripping it and also made the last throw to get the runner out and saved the game.
Good games. Better than wedding dress shopping.I couldn't agree more. Stats to come once I retrieve the book this Sunday... (updated, stats below!)

Week 6: Empty Pitchers vs. Hot Cousins...Again
If half of the battle is just showing up, the Hot Cousins failed to meet that low threshold on Sunday, forfeiting Game 1, and then getting whooped with their rotating cast of ladies in Game 2, by a score of 8-4.
After the Commish caused a league-wide stir following her attempts to cancel a day and a half's slate of games 72 hours in advance (Tropical Storm Karen failed to make landfall), Tropical Storm Greg took full advantage of another week's worth of stat-padding versus the Hot Cousins, going 5-6 on the day. The Pitchers' started off Game 1 with a scorching 5 hits in a row (for the likely first-time ever), including a 2-run scoring double from Brooke. Alex added 4 hits on the day, Richie had a key two-out single to score a pair of runs when the trajectory of Game 2 was still in the air, and Lisa continued to lead the ladies in batting average, going &2-3 on the day and raising her average to an even .400.

Weeks 2 and 3 Flashback: While Koach was Away
Having all these accountants on the team finally pays off -- don't think that I've never seen such an immaculately-kept book in all my life! With Sam at the helm, the Pitchers ran off a 3-1 record while Koach K was away; splitting a doubleheader against Gotham Sluggers in Week 2, 12-8 and 7-5, and then blanking the Hot Cousins over two in Week 3, 6-0 and 12-0.

Week 1: Pitchers triumph in scrimmage
The Pitchers kicked off the 2013 season on a beautiful September day, facing off against the Dragons in a 10-on-10 scrimmage, for which stats counted.
Plenty of power was on display in the early season effort, and those over-the-fence outs better be the last Coach K witnesses this season; level swings, boys, level swings are what the Oval requires.

Congratulations to Greg, for clinching yet another batting title and being recognized for his years of softball excellence as the Empty Pitchers' inaugural inductee into the Coleman Oval of Fame. Also congrats to Sam, the 2012 MIA, MVA and MVP all in one; Julie, recipient of the year's Most Murphiest award; and Matt, who was recognized with the Rubockian Spirit award.
One last note to close out the 2012 season on the blog...we lost in the first round of the playoffs to the stupid Sub & Heroes. I remember us as having a shot at winning the game, but have lost the scoresheet, lo these many months later.So we'll turn the page officially on the blog, being that we're already a month into the 2013 season...

Week 4: Empty Pitchers vs. TAP
Really, it should be considered nothing short of a rousing success that the Empty Pitchers managed to field a full team following a deluge of early-Sunday texts, and still get a 16-6 and 8-4 doubleheader split against Team TAP. Thanks to everyone who was able to show (and did their best to bring in recruits), to Sam for picking up the pieces and assembling them into a lineup in my wedding-related absence, and to Val for making the trek down to the Oval (though in fairness, she did get to enjoy the scenic pigeon's-eye view of the field from the train).
On his bye week, Tara's ringer Reggie Bush Rob impressed the team with his roped line drives aimed straight at the heart of the Coleman Oval fence, as did Katie, who broke through with Nicole's baby green bat to have a 4-7 day and raise her batting average to its highest point of the season. Greg managed to chip in with 7 hits of his own on the day, and in his debut at catcher, Matt kept the TAP players honest at home in Game 2, excepting of course for the 70-pound female player who took him down in a play at the plate.
Looking at the rout that was Game 1, particularly the 10(!)-run third, one has to wonder where exactly the wheels fell off in the Game 2. (Stat-padding the game book in the coach's absence? Perhaps. The more likely reason? Playing to the level of our opponent. Yet again.) But no matter, next week will bring the woeful Remainders to cure all the Pitchers' erratic offensive woes and propel us into the playoffs.

I think the New York Post has a term for this kind of sporting excellence...and no, I don't mean its "LINEPT" headline:
Week 6: Another Round with the Brewsual Suspects
They say hindsight is 20-20, but the only lasting memory from the final game of the 2011 season was the team's needling of Greg, who needed a near-perfect day at the plate to have any hope of passing absentee John and taking the 2011 Pitchers' batting title. Greg got off to a blazing start, going 5-5 in Game 1, before the bench chatter/mounting pressure caught up to him in Game 2 (as did the woeful Brewsual Suspects, who wound up splitting the doubleheader with the Pitchers).
No worries Greg, the 2012 season is but a few short weeks away.

2011 Playoffs: One and Done
Apparently unable to shake off the funk that comes with a one-and-done playoff run and bring myself to author a pithy post last fall, I'm now forced to relive the pain of last season's playoff outing in updating the blog for the start of the fall 2012 season.
After eeking into the playoffs as the 6th seed, the Empty Pitchers appear to have had a short but wild ride in the Commish's new format, falling to the hated Dirt Dogs by the score of 6-4 in the first round. I've erased most memories of this game from my mind, so will instead let the scorebook's stats tell the tale...
