Hitting a Curveball

In baseball one of the most powerful tools a pitcher has is the curveball. It comes straight for your head then plunges into the strike zone at the last second. The worst thing a batter can do is bail out. It seems like every situation in life can some how be related to baseball. Bad situations are like curve balls. You have to be the hitter. You can't run from problems you have to face them. Just like you can't bail out from the curveball. You have to keep your hands up, and weight back, poised for the right moment to strike. When problems arise one must not jump in to early or the curve will slide right by, but to late and the ball as broken and is no longer reachable and the hole gets deeper. In baseball you get three strikes, many players let the first one go by just to get their bearings, but when the second goes by, trouble begins. It's like problems if you let them build things just get worse. So, when that curveball comes in any situation remember: pick up the spin, keep your hands up, stay balanced, and don't bail. Not every problem is worth it so watch for balls that curve into the dirt, just let them go. Learning to hit the curveball makes people stronger batters, more dangerous than ever, and stronger batters solve problems by not acting to fast or slow.

Game Time!

So, baseball is in full swing. Our team is 7-3 and we haven't even hit our stride yet. We have 9 games left in the regular season, and then districts. We have had some people quit and some just not show up, so we are left with our starting team from last year plus one sophomore. We start 7 juniors and 1 senior and 1 sophomore, we are pretty stacked. We also have about 5 people batting over .500 me included. We have a doubleheader saturday and we are gonna smoke everyone from here on out. I can just feel it. It is FREAKIN GAME TIME!!!
