Six games left

With six games remaining our record is 3-11-1.

A .500 season is out of our reach, but we are in the position to play "spoiler" and beat the teams vying for first place. To this end:

• Tomorrow's make-up game will have no pitcher for us get more than two innings of work. This will maximize our pitching options Wednesday.
• For the remainder of the season I'll do my best to put players in any/all defensive position I think they have a reasonable chance at succeeding at.
  
• There are five guys who have shown potential to succeed on the mound, and they will get the innings and work in practice.
  
• There are four guys that have catching experience or interest. I will do my best to see they all get a fair opportunity behind the plate.

I would like to emphasize how important I think every position in the field is. There is truly nowhere to hide any player, the ball can find 'em all. I think some of our players feel that playing the outfield to akin to being relegated to Siberia. Nothing could be further from the truth. If we improve our outfield play, we can compete in every remaining game.
